Just saw the image gallery of Crysis on TGDaily and it looks amazing. Has anyone any info on what would be a recommended GPU for that game? (At least for DX9?) Or do we have to wait for next gen graphics and DX10 to really enjoy what it has to offer?

So you see the first screenshots and expect hardware reccommendations?

If the screenshots were prerendered then you'll have to wait. If not, then you can imagine it using the best you can get right now - a sh!tload of RAM, FX60/62 and Quad-SLi. The best way to prepare for it is to start saving for G80.

Man did it ever look good, though.

or R600.

im sure it will support all mid ranged cards out today(dont know how well it will play). but dx10 is supposed to be what 8 times faster? so id deffinentally wait for dx10 cards. Peace.

dang, no freakin way my 6800gs would run that game !


i have to save some money for vista and a DX10 card




that image makes me Cry

that is lush, only word for it. it also seems to be showing the deliberate blur effect or is that just the way the screenie turned out,

from Pong to this !

i need a bigger monitor if im getting that game say 20 inch ..

everyone is going to be upgrading when those type of games come out



freakin amazing

20" not with that gfx card trust me having a big hi-res screen is both a gift and a curse. sure it looks great but it takes a hell of alot of gfx power.

wouldn't it be more cost effective to buy a ps3 instead of a dx10card?, you've got to think about upgrading other parts of your system aswell.

onli a thought

thats a joke right, otherwise get real. like the xbox 360 the ps3 specs were pretty good last year when they were relaesed, now they are old hat.

yeah -true


probly go SLi with some high-end cards for optimal resolution/Fps

@ stranger
not really you've got to remember that those specs are comletely tuned and dedicated to the system. i mean look at the ps2 for instance it has a 32mb vid card with a 350mhz cpu core, its still ok by todays standards.
And the ps3 HD support is tempting me :S. I cant really afford to keep updating my computer. My only concern is dx 10 and if it would be better than the ps3.

PS3 is a waste , its going to cost to much

now with a computer , 1) its fun to build one 2) u know what the hell is in it 3) u cant upgrade a console platform, u must buy a whole new one


i never really liked Console's, i use my Xbox for a DVD player

mehh it dont matter to some people

Has anyone heard what they used to run the game for the screenshots? (Assuming it wasn't pre-rendered). Because TGDaily mentions they were using DX9 as DX10 is not out yet.

I read on some forum it was a single X1900XTX. Could be bologna though as no link was provided.

And the ps3 HD support is tempting me :S. I cant really afford to keep updating my computer.

Consoles come out every four or five years. Computers outperform them within six months, if not less. 'nuff said.

my comp may not be hd ready but it is HD capable. sure, protected profits, sorry i mean content won't play but who cares.

I have found the link saying that the gameplay trailer was running on a single x1900.

For reference, the gameplay demo we were shown was running on an X1900 (not dual) so there is hope for us all this Winter. We just have to put our hopes in Microsoft that they release DirectX 10 sometime soon following Crysis.

I reckon at minimum a Geforce FX/Radeon 9700 will be enough.
I think that you would get good performance/quality from todays mid to high range cards.

I have also read that it is running on DX9 and will when released. It will also take advantage of DX10.

Just because a game has wonderful pre release footage doesn't mean that it will have to look that good when you play. There have always been low quality settings and I'm sure that this is no exception. Heck, even fear will run on a GF4.

so my comp as it stands will be able to play it. i wonder at what quality levels. sure as hell won't be high.

wow i admit that really looks good considering that its just a x1900. I wonder what the next G80 or R600 cores can produce :S
