kinda bent that I'm not a fileplanet member is there anywhere else to get it?

I don't want to wait! *screams like a baby*

Nice to know my X1900XT should be able to handle Crysis. Then again, I didn't think it would be clunker anyway.

lol..I meet the requirements somehow...p4 3.2 prescott and an x700...lol.

It's funny..But I really don't want to play it with this old rig. I'mma wait till I get my new pc before I even attempt to play crysis.

Well they are optimizing it. Their recommended system is pretty much the minimum requirement in order to play the game in the lowest possible settings for full enjoyment. Older machines will probably be able to play the game as well but it will be quite choppy. Heck..I consider my 3.2 prescott and x700 pro garbage. But I don't have the funds to purchase a new rig just atm..so I'mma just wait till I can afford a new one to play anything new.

Yea i hear what you are saying Emp like i said on a different thread a day or so ago if you dont at least half know what you are talking about it wont matter what you are buying you will get shafted

As far as the crysis specs go i just think it would be kinda nice if the min specs were the high specs for Far Cry then obviously the high would be whatever the manufacturers fastest cards are.
Will it even have max settings or are we looking at another Oblivion here?

I think thier main aim is to cast as wide a net as possable and as has been said they will catch people who wont really be able to play/enjoy it properly.
On a side note
Emp do i see a couple of additions to your list of hated cards?
Mactronix

it seems a more reliable way to interpret minimum requirements for most games, is to actually look at the recommended requirements. the recommended requirements should actually be considered the minimum for enjoyable gameplay... where the actual minimum should be considered what it takes to make the game even be able to run at all, regardless of performance. (eg, the game may run at 1 fps or less with minimum specs, not at all playable really, but it runs)

If you are referring to the HD 2900Pro and 8700GTS, then I certainly hope not! Those cards look REALLY promising and I really want ATI to do well, same goes for nvidia. Market needs competition and that's where the money is.
