Can my computer run crysis ?

Hi .. im new to toms hardware forums .. sooo HEY !! =D

kk well im going to buy crysis soon ... but i dont want to buy it and then my computer doenst handle it ..
i did the only lab analysis .. and passed everything, both min and recemeneded

the only thing i didnt pass was my GPU and my CPU ...
but the thing is .. i didnt pass my CPU cuz it wasnt a dual ... but it said i need at least 3.2 (with vista) to play it .. and i have 3.4 GHz .. and i even over clocked it to 3.8 ...

also i didnt pass the GPU cuz i had 8600 GT ... but the thing is .. i have 2 GPU cards with sli technolgy on
AND i over clocked my GPU from 540MHz to 700 MHz and the memory of the GPU from 400 MHz to 475 MHz

SO over all heres my specs

Intel P4 ( hyperthreading technogoly ) 3.8 GHz
DUAL nVidia GeForce 8600 GT ( over clocked ( 540-700Mhz, 400-475MHz memory)
Vista Home basic

so do you guys think crysis can run on it ? ... and if soo .. what kinda settings and resultion can i run it on ?

thanks in advance =]

aww only medium .. what bout the anti aiasling or we its called how much can i go up
?

Maybe at 1024x768 -w- medium settings. The OS and the CPU are going to be your real bottlenecks.

Crysis sucks majorly, it wouldnt run very well, in about 10 years people will be able to run it on full but by then everyone would of played it on lower settings so its pointless..........

Ive decided not to play it again until something can power it at max settings.

lmfaoo i think i might do what dev1se did ......
cuz i wanna play it at its fullest ...
i played the demo

and on high setting it worked fine ...
but then once i put the rev all the way to 1200x 1045 or somthngi like that
it started lagging
but now its on meduim with 1200x 1045 but as soon as i put x2 on the anti ailsins or w.e its called.
my computer laggs
which SUCKS .. cuz i heard you have to have anit aliasing on for it to look smooth . is that true ?

Like Stemnin said...try the demo. If you like what you see then there's much more where that came from in the full version of the game. The patch 1.2 helps with SLI performance...it might give you a few extra FPS.

I actually loved Crysis for its visuals and the engine was like nothing I have seen before. It's a great game and you get a much more realistic feel then most of the latest games. That being said, I wouldn't play Crysis at anything less than everything at High settings (In XP)...some enjoy medium settings but you be the judge.

***Edited - I just noticed you run VISTA... forget about high settings and 20+FPS with your system. You simply won't run it well enough***

But like Crom said, with your system, you might want to consider COD4 as a substitute.

I'm pretty sure you'd be fine. You might want to look at benchmarks of COD4 with various GPUs to give you an Idea where you stand FPS-wise. Same applies for any other games such as crysis. Thou, keep in mind you'll have a lower FPS than these benchmarks because you have a single CPU (non-multicore) which will affect certain games (especially recent releases).
