I run at 512. YAY SUICIDE!
I seem to have better performance on XP TBH. only problem is DX10...which i cant support anyway. I only have an ancient x1950pro
I think its about time PC players got something for themselves. Crysis needs to be a pc only game....Im sick of console fanboys..
There are many PC exclusive games out there...but many of them are RTS's (RTS's have never worked that well on gamepads).
Yes, Crysis will make a great PC game, but it doesn't need to be a PC-only game. It's just that users with good PCs will get some nice visual treats that console players won't get. You see, not everyone here is a PC-oriented gamer, and not everyone has the money/is allowed to/is knowledgable enough to acquire a decent PC. Even $500, which is the price of the top-of-the-line PS3, can't get you a monster gaming rig capable of excellent DX10 visuals with good framerates. It can get you a midrange machine if you plan wisely, but the midrange machine ain't as powerful as the PS3 or the Xbox 360. And if the parents are buying the gaming hardware for their kids as presents, they'll probably go for the consoles if they're computer illiterate.
I'm not saying Crysis MUST be on consoles - I think the PC is the best place for it to be, but by porting the game to consoles, we're giving other types of gamers a chance to enjoy something nice.
I didn't have time to try out the Crysis demo yet, but I'm most excited about the new graphics. I don't know how good the gameplay is, but I wouldn't be surprised if Crysis ended up like Doom 3 - fantastic groundbreaking technology, but non-innovative gameplay. If Crysis becomes like that, I'll still play it, but I would then pray that a better game would come out using the Crysis engine.
I'm planning on upgrading just for Crysis, by the way. I can see Crysis being a "benchmark stress tester" for future hardware.
Don't you mean... "is more powerful, but unfortunately is bogged down by windows and background processes?"
Oh also Crysis is a ton of fun, but all the idiots who think it's nothing but a tech demo like to spew about how it's all graphics and no gameplay. Pricks probably haven't even tried it.
