The EA Store website has revealed what is most likely the official minimum requirements for Crysis. Those with the beta who have hunted around in the games install directory probably would have found a hint towards these specs also. Without further adieu, I give you the minimum Crysis requirements...
CPU: Intel P4 2.8Ghz or AMD equivalent
RAM: 1GB
Video Card: 6800GT (256mb) or ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb)
HDD Space: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows [XP and Vista I imagine]
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible


I would have originally thought that such news would have been published in an official press release. I'm guessing that the EA Store website would have received an internal announcement prior to the official press release. Stay tuned for updates, and also keep in mind that these may not be the official minimum requirements. I'm currently waiting for confirmation.

A 6800GT or a 9800 Pro? A 6800GT is an entire generation ahead of the 9800 Pro.

But who would want to play at minimum settings at low res? I don't get it, what's the point, you may as well buy a PSP.

 

[bfellow]

You can get an awesome average of 20 frames per second @ 800x600 with ultra-low settings!

Hey! I already own a PSP!!
Hehe, just kidding! I guess my 7800GTX won't have any problems at 1024x768 with all medium (My CPU kinda sucks a$$ though), will it?

 

[spuddyt]

I don't know, supposedly it has monster physics as well

Crysis would crawl on that system... Would not be worth playing probably.

A 6800GT or a 9800 Pro? A 6800GT is an entire generation ahead of the 9800 Pro.

That also raised my eyebrows. A 6600GT can easily measure up to the 9800 Pro, matching or beating it it most games. Plus, the 6800GT is significantly better than the 6600GT. Is Crytek trying to say that Crysis will run better on older ATi hardware? Will 256MB be absolutely required to play? No love for 128MB cards?

I wonder what the recommended specs are.

 

[spuddyt]

probably a 7800/900

If it really does use that much physx, maybe a seperate card like the Ageia or using a low end ati/nvidia card to use physx might give an enourmous improvement to FPS.

I got a 2nd PCI-E slot but after I get the G82 (if tis the new high end) or w/e is for xmas then ill still have 1pci-e slot left over, would be nice to make use of it.

I am currently running AMD 3500 (s939), 1gb PC3200 corsair, 7600GT.

I really want to play crysis, while I would love eye candy I cannot upgrade my pc. Do you think I would be able to play on low settings?

PS. If anyone have an old AMD x2 4200 (s939) or better & another 1gb or ram I would gladly take that off your hands!!

 

[amddiesel]

hopefully mine plays it

 

[desidude006]

what are your specs soldier

 

[Dudeson]

NO F***ING WAY!!!

These aren't the final system requirements, according to Crytek. It seems that they were posted 'accidently'.

Hatman: Crysis will have absolutely no support for Ageia Physx.

soldier37: You serious? Everything high at 1920x1200 on you system? God I hope that you aren't kidding, cause that's the res I want to play it at. If Crysis really does run that well, then the programmers at Crytek are gods, considering how amazing it looks.

BTW, does it go higher than 'High'?

You would think they either meant 6600GT 256MB / 9800 pro 256MB (both rare cards) or 6800GT / X800 pro. I got a good laugh out of seeing 6800GT/9800 pro.

Ahhh I remember when some of the best computer games were just words with no graphics at all.......remember Zork.....Adventure....Pirates Cove....etc......we have come a long way since then....I could run them all on my old Commodore Vic-20. ;-P

 

[nukemaster]

vic 20 owned


Load
Press play on tape(pressed)
searching.....
found 3d maze
don't even remember how u loaded after that...

Or just pop in the cartridges in the back....

 

[caamsa]

I remember after loading you usually had to type a run command of some kind. Same with the commodore 64 (the best selling computer of all time)

 

[nukemaster]

alright....hand over the wallpaper

 

[FatFunkey]

16Gigs of HDD Space!?!??!

im not that shocked by the min requirements..they said 3 year tech would be able to run it..still going to upgrade and knowing that a 8800GTX can run it on high i wonder what the next get is going to do :3

 

[Ilander]

Just how many DVD's are they shipping this on?

16 Gb is pretty much unprecedented, isn't it? What's the footprint of FSX with those high-res map-expansions?

 

[randomizer]

My 3700 will struggle with it.
x1950 pro, hmm.

Na considering I can hardly play current and older games my system won't even run it on min

 

[Maziar]

U dont have a C2D but u have a very nice AMD CPU ,

Hey, soldier37, can you upload a Fraps vid of the beta? At full res and settings with the FPS counter turned on. Better yet, upload 2 vids, one with just the scenery and one with a small firefight. It would be highly appreciated.
