Crysis on highest setting

[tlott00]

hey can yall tell me , what processor for a laptop do i need to run crycis on the highest settings, core 2 duo 3.0 ghz and above or a quad core

There's not a laptop in the world that's going to run Crysis on highest settings with decent FPS, save perhaps that one with the mobile 4870x2 or the i7 laptop.

Actually, it will highly depend on the LCD resolution, but it would still require something rather potent like a 4850X2 or 4870X2. As for CPU, Crysis isn't that CPU bound I think but requires a decent amount of RAM.

no laptop can play crysis at its highest settings, unless you lower the resolution to about 800x600.

if your burning to play crisis at highest settings, you will have to spend $1500-$2000 on a DESKTOP

And probably close to double that for a laptop :-/

This laptop might do alright, but you would still have to turn down the res a little bit:

That comes with a 1 GB GTX 260M, which isn't actually a GTX260. The GTX200 M line are all repackaged G92 chips. So the GTX280M is really a 9800GTX. The GTX260M is probably between a 9800GT and a 9800GTX.

The dual ATI Mobile Radeon HD3870 isn't good enough to max out Crysis. The two cards combined is the equivalent to a GPU between a single 9800GTX/GTX+ and a GTX260.

Yes notice how I didn't say it would actually max out crysis. I doubt there is a laptop currently out there that can really do that game justice.

 

[Bluescreendeath]

^ Aye, I'm a lil peeved at Nvidia's constant rebranding scheme though. Repackaging a 9800GTX as a GTX280? wtf?!?!?

The big problem with crysis is that its rubbish .

honestly its such a poor game you play it once and wonder why you wasted your money

 

[xthekidx]

The thing about that laptop I found though, Its got a 17" screen with 1920x1200 resolution...my 19" only runs at 1440x900, and crysis looks great on it with my GTX 260. If you turned down the res, the image would still be pretty sharp and crysis would run well on it.

This one might do well too, better than that other I linked. 2 9800GTX 1gb cards in SLI.

That's why you only pay $27 for it. First time you play it its awesome, but replay value is low.

Dude, no replay value? I've probably played the game 3x over to experiment with the physics engine...ie killing yourself with maximum speed by running into a wall, driving a car into a shack and knocking down the walls, blowing up the shack into pieces with the a grenade, etc

the possibilities are endless!

Have you used the sandbox editor? Like spawning 30 North Koreans and having them duke it out with aliens or somethin?

In Core 2 Quad, you can crysis smoothly

Core 2 Quad is a CPU brand, not a GPU. The GPU is more important here.
