Unable to play crysis 1.

[dickysolo]

I am using the below configuration.

MB: M4N68T-M V2
Processor: 945 Phenom II X4 Processor
RAM: 2 GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB.
Graphics: inbuilt


I am unable to play Crysis 1 with the above config. However, my frn with the same config is able to play the game. Is there any settings I missed out?

What Graphics Card is it? I know you said inbuilt (aka Onboard) and im guessing thats the leading factor. go buy a graphics card and have fun? What resolution you play at, or try to?

It says "Chipset NVIDIA Geforce 7025/nForce 630a"

Get a graphics card and you'll be able to play it.

 

[dickysolo]

what graphics would you recommend wrt to my system configuration?

 

[evilgenius134]

Tell us what power supply you have, especially rated output and efficiency ratings.

It says

TECH-COM...450 WATTS,

output voltage: +5V/-5V/+12V/-3.3V/+5VSB
CURRENT(MAX)-25A/0.5A/10A/0.5A/14A/1.5A

INPUT:230v/50HZ/3a

You should be able to get decent performance out of a 9800GTX, I think they have lower power requirements now than the hungry dual 6-pin PCI-E power version I had.

I can't even run Crysis 1 in Win7, fully patched the stupid thing runs for about 2 minutes and crashes to the desktop. Warhead I have no trouble with in Win 7, Crysis I have to fall back to XP to play, it's annoying.

Please verify....

What that is telling me is that your 450w PSU can only provide 120w on the 12v rail. That's pretty weak for a 450w PSU considering that the two components with the biggest power draw on the 12v rail are the CPU and the video card.

You listed 5 voltages, but you listed 6 currents.

you could try a ATI Radeon hd 5670 it has low power requirements and no PCI connectors or a Nvidia GTS 240 Im guessing low power requirments aswell but these cards are not the best. Please what resolution do you play or try to play at?

First off, whats your budget? Can you afford a good GPU alongwith a good PSU?

Budget....It all depends on that today!

Thanks all for your reply.....

yesterday only bought another new 2 GB DDR3 (total 4GB now) and one ATI Radeon 5450 (MSI) 1GB DDR3. The card was suggested by a friend depending on my budget.....

I am able to play Crysis now. I know it is still very low. Will upgrade in near future.
