Thanks for watching :)
Games: has the auto settings
Also the game: runs like a PowerPoint presentation
You,and anyone in the audience : facepalm intensifies
And looks as bad as my Micky mouse video.
@@mickeymousereacts6056 dont say that to yourself brother
On a serious note this computer would be more than adequate for someone making PowerPoint presentations.

remember trying to run this on geforce 6200, only got like 20FPS on low and 800x600, you have no idea how upset I was
you should have had a little better, I had a Sony Vaio with a intel centrino and a geforce 6400(mobile gpu) which was worse than the 6200 and I was able to get about 35 fps on low 800x600
@@kyles8524 it has a bigger number, clearly its better /s
I remember playing on an amd 4400 at 2.2ghz 4gb ram and 9600gso. Everything on low and struggled to hit 30fps.
@@virtualtools_3021 and that my friend is where people get confused with video cards and numbers lol.Its a mobile gpu which means it has lower clock speeds than a 6200.For instance a gt 640 is better than a gt 730
Oof ok crying of poorness
5:30 - the low preset kinda makes Crysis look like CryTek's first offering, FarCry.
Far cry looks way better on high... sure on low.. it looks pretty much the same way
Don't forget Far Cry 2 came out a year AFTER Crysis and used a less advanced version of the same engine but looks an entire generation behind.
@@rushnerd have you played far cry 2.. that is.. finished the game?
@@matsv201 Finished? No. I've played a LOT of FC games, but that one rubbed me the wrong way completely. Not to compare too harshly, but you can go ape with the jeeps in Crysis while in far cry 2 you can hit a small rock and bring your jeep to a dead stop or get it stuck.
@@rushnerd When you play past the midpoint of FC2 the game change quite a lot. if you have not played past this point, you really have no real grasp of how the grapics looks.
1024 by 768 is more of what you would have used back then resolution wise to play this game. I feel you were too ambitious.
More like 800x600
Yeah 1280x1024 was pretty high resolution back then, most people were still using 1024x768 or 800x600 true
I ran this game on X800 Pro overclocked paired with AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Bruh. I had a 1280x1024 monitor back in 2004 and it wasn't something horrible outstanding. And you are talking about 2007-2008 when 720p was already a consolepeasant's lot. Don't be ridiculous, people weren't struggling with crysis THAT much. The game was mighty demanding only on ultra with dx10 features enabled, that's why it became a meme. Lots of people could play it at high tho
@@KeksimusMaximus of course they were struggling that much. Most people didn't even have something 8600gt tier. You needed something like a 8800gt later on to get decent settings at 720p 30fps.
@@KeksimusMaximus horrible outstanding? Lmao stop adding dramatic terminology wtf 1280x1024 is not low res even today pro CS players use 1024x768
Most people did not have GPUs capable of 1280x1024 in the newest games in 2006/2007 hahaha Quake III sure
Btw 720p is lower res than 1280x1024 XD
Trying to run Crysis almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
I see what you did there
man of culture
Ncr for life
Amen.
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.
"The grass doesn't really look like grass,the trees look a little bit like trees" 5:36
lol
deep
I'm pretty sure Crytek made the grass look like shit on purpose, to make people play it at least on medium or even to buy better video cards.
WTFBOOMDOOM perhaps, thus the meme “But can it run crysis?”
I was still running a PC from 2002, when Crysis came out. I finally upgraded to a PC with a Pentium E6300 (2.83 Ghz with 2MB L2 cache) and paired it with a BFG GTS 250 (512 MB). I was still using an IBM G62 (?) VGA monitor at the time and was only getting about 18 fps on near (1600x900) highest settings.
I remember those days very fondly. I purchased an 8800GTS 320 MB Viotek GPU 300$ and Core 2 Duo E6600 I believe for around 60$. (back before Newegg went to shit). I had a co-worker at the time purchase two 8800 GT 512 in S.L.I. (thousands he spent). Crysis could be played but not at 60 f.p.s. at 1440x900 resolution which was the main panel those days and the one I had. Crysis was something a developer didn't do too often. It was more like a demo of course but a demo that every pc gamer could appreciate. The graphics were so "unreal" that it made me "cry" with it's "tek". I couldn't tell you how many hours I put in that game. The main thing the game needs to be remastered really is just the A.I. and it's lighting. The game still is a damn good looking game for today's standards.
So it seems like Crysis' recommended system requirements actually means 720p low 60fps or 720p medium 30fps...
Goodness knows how it would run on a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM...
I ran it on 1GB of ram, p4 at 3Ghz with a 8600GT 256MB and it ran at medium at 1024x768 at 25-35fps. So the Switch version is a better experience lol.
@@Loundsify Switch runs at 540p on Handheld
I was able to run it with Q6600, 4gb ram and 8800gtx ultra at 40 fps high at 1024x768
@@dvornikovalexei right and wrong. It runs at 720p but will drop down to 540p at high intense moments. In docked it drops from 900p to 720p. Let's also not forget that the switch screen isn't massive so that resolution playing games will look passable. When you consider I played Crysis in 1024x768 on a 17" LCD monitor originally.
"Crysis is a game that's likely been covered more than any other on RUclips"
Happy Wheels: am I a joke to you?
Minecraft: allow me to introduce myself
Crysis on low looks like Far Cry.
Bröther, you just blew my mind
Far Cry looked much better
I mean, it is an upgraded version of the same engine as Far Cry
I'd say that FEAR has held up the best visually from that time period, the faces for NPCs are a lot more serviceable than Crysis nowadays
@@amirpourghoureiyan1637 FEAR was a masterpiece in plenty of ways - especially the gameplay and the graphics. Have you played The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay? It had graphics similar to FEAR, even better (in some scenarios) and came out over a year prior (first on Xbox and then on PC). Riddick is a ridiculously good game all around and achieved better graphics than Doom 3 (which I also like).
What I had to do to get Crysis running was to use the 64 Bit EXE from Crysis Warhead because the 32 Bit EXE from the Steam Version from Crysis *WILL NOT RUN* on Windows 10. The Origin Version has the 64 Bit Version though. The Second thing I had to do was to create a empty Save file with the Crysis Benchmarking tool, because the 64 Bit Crysis Warhead EXE wouldn't create a working savegame / campaign. Yikes
That's some clever a.f. troubleshooting there mate :)
@@Ediranii well on top of that, I had to contact the EA support (english only) twice to reset the activation counter because I couldn't even start the game because I had installed Crysis on too many PCs ... and english isn't my first language so that was a fun experience too :)
I'm thinking of creating an hyper V machine with windows 7 and just using my DVD version lol
I've read that Origin looks for installs of EA games such as Crysis and patches them, odd that it didn't happen in this case.
@@amirpourghoureiyan1637 it's the Steam Version ;)
The Origin Version should work out of the box
I watched this on a Core 2 Duo.

Your videos are the most relaxing videos I've ever watched, always enjoying them, maybe because of your relaxing voice. Also I'd love to see a "Minecraft server hosting dedicated PC with recommended specs" and testing it with hosting a server while a few players are in.
Even on lowest settings the game looks pretty nice for 2007. I'd turn on Shadows, and be happy then.
Low settings, or as i like to call them, the FarCry1 experience

I really like these period accurate mid range PCs, I got an FX4300/HD6850 as my second machine.
Back in 2007, I played Crysis on a Pentium 4 3.06ghz, 8800GT 1gb, 2gbs of ram and a CRT 17" monitor.
I had a blast.
This was so nostalgic to watch, I played this game in the release month on my Core 2 Duo and nVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX... Subscribed.
I didn't get to play this till 2008 when I built my first relatively high end PC, Core 2 Quad Q9300, 8GB DDR2, and a 512MB Geforce 9800 GTX and Vista Home Premium
I had the exact same case back in 2006! I convinced my parents to splash out on a new PC for college work. It had a Nvidia 7600GT from Leadtek (RIP) and some Athlon 64 CPU
I had a very similar machine to this in the days of Farcry 2, Team Fortress 2 etc. Good times.
Considering some consoles/games still run at 30fps (cough cough, nintendo switch cough cough), as long as the game has decent graphics and at least 30fps, I can consider it playable.
On the other end, i'm greatly looking forward to playing this at 4K 120hz on my TV/monitor once the new cards come out with HDMI2.1 !
Wow, that just made me realise, that I really had a pretty High End machine back in 2007, with a Core2Quad Q6600 and a Geforce 8800GTX 😅
So that's why I never really had troubles running Crysis 😅
same here q6600 8gb ram and hd 5570 2gb version runningon asus p5kpremium .. at the time i got that build only for 200€
Same here I had Core2Quad and geforce 9600gt and I think I remember playing it on max settings. It was my first pc and it cost 800€ including monitor keyboard mouse and a scanner/ printer and 2 months free internet. Good days!
I had a Pentium D 820 at 2.8GHz and a GeForce 7600 GS with 2GB of system memory. Ran the game like a champ on windows XP (DX9 features only) Cranked those graphics as high as it would let me, played at like 20 FPS but I remember enjoying the cramp out of it :)
0:28 Holy crap, that was clever.
The question in 2008 for every gaming PC was 'will it run Crysis'? The 8800 GT was the first mid range GPU that could run Crysis and look good. It was the GPU that made me give away my Xbox 360 and become a PC gamer in 2010. I'd got a GTX 260 core 216 by the time I bought Crysis in 2011.
I enjoyed the video. Nice to se the old gts card and how it handled Crysis. Thank you
I like how the moment he apologized for someone's dog barking mine barked, but I live in a different country though o_o

@@DearLittleSable I live in Lithuania.
Not only was it a different location, it was also a different time.
Don't lie it was your dog barking! 😲
miss the early 2000s im old lol. I played crysis with high settings and a resolution of 1024×768 Back in 2008 my xps 420 which i still own, had a 8800GTS, 4gb ram ddr2 667mhz, core 2 duo E6550 and i think i had a seagate 320gb HHD. AS to the framrate who knows, lol i did not know much about fps back then. Oh and i had Vista 32bit installed. Love your channel keep it up bro!!
I remember finishing it with a C2D E4300 @ 3GHz, 2GB DDR2-900 & GF 6800 GS overclocked to the max. Good times..
edit: I played the last level at 800x600 low, otherwise 1024x768 low (w/ effects at high).
An E4300 at 3GHz is a fair old effort
@@burntoutelectronics Still have two of those in my collection
@@RuruFIN for a bit of fun I’m throwing together a core 2 E6300 with a 9800gt. I want to see how far you could go with the slowest clocked launch duo of the day
I was playing Crysis on a 256MB 6800GT, it was okay on Low @ 1024*768 with a Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT, 1GB RAM. Later upgraded to a 9600GT 256MB, Core 2 Duo E6420 2.13GHz and 2GB of RAM. That was a sad realization that I had to play on Low again to avoid the big frame drops. But I was able to walk around on High just to see the graphical magic of this game not being able to play it with these settings of course. Sorry, I was too long. xD Great video!
Crisis blew me away as a kid and got me into PC gaming. It brought alot of satisfaction to play with high setting with my prebuilt dell with a pentium D and an ATI 4670
Crisis?
Is it just me or am i the only one that realize why people dislikes your videos. Theres no reason to dislike other than jealousy. Good video keep it up!
My fondest memory of an 8600 GTS is me and my friend both bought X1950 XT's at the same time, and where I had a 520W Corsair PSU, my friend had a no name 600W PSU. After a few months when his games started to crash I told him it was probably his PSU not giving the card enough juice, but he just wouldn't have it because it had appeared fine for months. I tried explaining about PSU strain but he still wouldn't have it. He took the card back and asked me what I would recommend he get, so because I knew the store would find no fault with the card, and because an 8600 GTS required a lot less power I told him to get that. Because the 8600 GTS is a fair bit weaker than an X1950 XT the store had no problem changing it, and my friend plugged it in and all was fine. If we ever talk about this, to this day my friend still thinks his X1950 XT was faulty, so I just smile and let him carry on.
I run Crysis on ultra settings on my Linux laptop...what a time to be alive
That is the machine I have (had)! I had a Core2Duo at 3.2 overclock and a Radeon 8500 in mine with 4GB of ram at that time, the display was a beast of a iiyama 22" CRT monitor. I turned down shadows, no AA and ran Crysis at 1600x1200, it was glorious n very capable then.
The machine then got 8GB of fastest DDR2 OCZ ram and a GTS250 gpu (rebadged GTX8800) together with a Core2Quad (@3.3) and went on to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R very well as well.
Just recently the old box (still that Coolermaster Mirage) got an x470 MSI board, 32GB of DDR4, SSD, Antec 550watt power supply, Ryzen 5 3600 and an old GTX960, and runs Nioh/GTA/Dark Souls very well on tweaked high settings.
It's going to get a "pre loved" 10 series GPU at the end of the year to keep it capable.
I am amazed that the generic power supply lasted as long as it did and I still quite like the old case it's in but mine has a Windows XP code sticker on top (I bypassed Vista).
Thanks for reading and thanks OP for triggering my Nostlagia 👍😊
Back in the days i used to play crysis on
Pentium dual core and nvidia 9500GT .. man i saw this game 11 years later 😍 thankyou for making this video
It really does look good especially since the game came out 13 years ago
Back in the day video settings in game really changed how game looks. Compared to this day games it is really hard to see the difference between med-high or even low (in some instances) settings.
Back in 2007, I remember seeing a lot of people with 1024x768 and 1280x1024 resolution monitors. Still have both with my 1024x768 CRT in storage from my original prebuilt back in the day and my first flatscreen Dell 1280x1024 monitor.
I played Crysis in 2008 with Win XP mostly high settings at 1280x1024 on a 17" 4:3 monitor. The PC was a Core 2 Duo E8200@3.6GHz, 2GB 1066 ddr2, Asus P35 board and an AMD HD 3870 512MB.
This machine lasted until 2016 with a few upgrades like 8GB ram, AMD HD 5850 (a beast of a card) and a 120GB SSD when they became more affordable.
Has anyone heard of the RUclipsr "MaxiShine"?
He was one of the first to boast about his computer in the day.
In 2007 when this game released he had a Core 2 Quad QX6700, three 8800 ultra's in tri SLI.
A 30" screen with a resolution of 2560x1600.
He had the game run at 1920x1200 V.High with no AA.
With all that set up, I guess costing over £3000 of 2007 money he could only get about 30FPS, he called that easily playable. He was amazed to see his 8800 Ultras pull of over 50FPS for a short period during the benchmark.
Now with all that said, thats like having a Core i9 10900K, Two RTX 2080 ti's in SLI and only getting about 30-40FPS at 1080P in a game released today. You would be flabbergasted.
But that was the normal in 2007. How times have changed, games are not as challenging to run as you might think today with reference to today's hardware.
Yeah I actually watched him back in 2006/2007 (not as RWL2012 obviously)

*also me, prepearing to write ''But can it run Crysis?''*

Quite an original comment!
P.S.lately every ytb video has every 2nd comment like this,kinda not funny anymore!?
Enjoy,peace
I used to play it on 1600x1200 res with medium settings with a C2D E6750@3.2Ghz, 8Gb of ddr2 800mhz and a 8600GT oc'ed close to 8600Gts at ~40-45fps on average. But I finished it on my Athlon x2 4800+@3Ghz, 4Gb of ddr2 800mhz and a 7300GT at 1024x768 res with all settings on low at around 25-35fps on average.
I remember playing Crysis at 800x600 medium when I was a teenager on a Athlon X2 and 7600 GTS system. It was painful but a lot of fun.
I bought Crysis after I bought my first real "gaming" GPU, The ATi X1900 XTX, I got it for basically nothing from someone who said it was a brick, and crashed if you tried to game on it. Turns out he didn't have enough power.
I had a Pentium D 940, X1900 XTX, 2x2 GB DDR2 800mhz, and two 80gb 7200 RPM Sata drives in RAID 0.
It's hard not to look back on that as absolute trash, but I've also never felt the way I did turning that system on and firing up Crysis for the first time. It absolutely blew me away, and I wasn't even running it on the maximum settings. It melted my brain.
Another fantastic video -- one of the finest gaming/tech/nerd channels on YT.
The trick was to have everything on low except for object quality medium (which did enable the proper lighting if i remember correctly), post processing/effects on medium and enable ssao and edgeaa via the console. It ran ok and lokked better than anything else.
Also vram helped with textures.
Yes please test 8600gts some more! This was exactly my first PC but mine was just a 8600gt no S. loved that PC even played far cry 3 on it
Jesus you must have played Far Cry 3 at 800x600, I passed my 8600GT in like a year because I was so disappointed and got an ATI 4850 512MB for £130
you should keep doing more of these!!
I remember "back in the days" I played this game on a Pentium D, 8800GTS 320MB on the lowest preset and I think 1024x768 resolution. It was still glorious.
Do more reviews with the GTX 1080 Ti please. :)
In the later stages where the jungle freezes and you fight the aliens.... A PC like this one would suffer even more
low settings = looks like your gpu is dying and displaying only graphical bugs
medium = far cry 1
high = actually starts looking like crysis
lowering the resolution and going for higher settings instead was the way to go in crysis for sure. ideally you still had a crt at that time anyway and they made the most of it.
Hey I played it back then with exactly (almost, because it was an MSI 8600 but a slightly different model, an oc edition!!) this video card! It bring me so many memories, but I remember playing it at high details at the very first, then lowering to medium for the most part of the game, then lowering to the very bottom at last, because it became too laggy... a very good game, truly magnificient!!! I still have that card I was about to take it out from its box and take it apart and clean it, just to have it well and functional if the need to use it arise!!
It played better than here if I remember it right!!
I played this on a Pentium 4 with a Radeon X800 XT back in the day! The game looks really good for the time, even at low settings. Most us didnt even have a 720p monitor back then either!
I first played Crysis on a $300 gateway laptop. I managed to squeeze around 20FPS out of it by running it on the lowest settings, in 640x480 windowed mode, after killing Windows Explorer in task manager. Best the whole campaign like this. 100% worth it.
Ran it pretty comfortably on a Geforce 7800GTX around the time. Did pretty well at high detail and iirc ran comfortably at 1024x768, but that was using DirectX9 on XP. At release, running it on Vista was a nightmare due to how horribly it utilised system resource pre-SP1
in 2007 a c2d with 4gb ram would have been a dream pc for many of us.back then the max I could afford was a lowly pentium d with 1 gb ram and even that was too expensive.
I use 12GB RAM.
Apparently, I am one of the few who don't find it weird.
Me too. I have 6 sticks of 2gb ddr3 ram
@Unknown Nomad i dont
I have 2×4GB and 2×2GB
It's fairly outdated, but still quite capable.
My old college threw out a bunch of old PCs
So I bought one for £65 with 4GB, i3 3220 and a GT 620, and am upgrading it slowly.
It's currently running 12GB, i5 3570 and RX 570.
Want a 1080Ti, but need a bigger power supply first.
@@BlueEyedVibeChecker i have a 1050 and w3520
If you think 12GB RAM is not weird my old system had 14GB RAM 3x4GB 1x2GB (same vendor/model RAM only difference being capacity)
mad respect for you because you called it Frankensteins monster
Please don't use offensive terms like "minimum". I'd prefer to call them "special" PCs.
10 years ago I finished Crysis on an integrated Radeon HD 3300. Low settings at 640x480. Looked like a PS2 game. Fun game though. I revisited it when I got my GTX 970. Haven't upgraded yet, so it seems that my 970 will be taking another beating when the Crysis remaster gets here.
I remember I played at 800x600 on my Q6600/8600GT system back in the day, probably because I was a sucker for eye candy
those boots with the flowers in them are the perhaps most british thing I've ever seen
I bought this when it was released it ran like a snail on treacle trying to crawl through a wind tunnel on my old PC!
Rather than using presets, back in the day, i'd turn objects and shadows to medium as especially for a card with low vram, shadows made a difference, and for weaker low clock CPU's, lowering object quality helped.
Something I want to see is the original version of Half Life 2 running on its minimum requirements :)
Good vídeo but please, think about standard resolutions like 1024 x 768 for that era. Anyway, interesting video :D
The PC remaster of Crysis was an abomination and an insult to all PC gamers. It is literally the Xbox 360/PS3 port now ported back to PC and made to look better but the character models and other things like plants moving look so bad and are broken. what a shame. Crytek is dead
I finished Crysis with an 8500 GT, Pentium E2140 and 2GBs of RAM, with the game running at 10-15fps. Probably my proudest moment in gaming. I knew fuck all about resolutions and graphics settings, so I just stuck with what the game defaulted to. Still one of my favourite FPS games of all time.
I played Crysis back in the day with a core 2 duo E8400 (at 3.00 Ghz) with 8800 GS and 4 gb of DDR2 Ran and it ran between 25 to 30 FPS at 720p at high settings and it was pretty playable
Back then I was playing this on a 2.4GHz Celeron, 256MB Radeon 9600PRO and 768MB RAM. It was capable of running the game with a consistent 11fps on the lowest settings in 1024x768 resolution.
I remember back then when i bought Crysis. One of the most beautiful game in 2007. I played this game with Nvidia 7800GTX 256MB vram, didn't support DirectX 10. Someone i know bought 8800GTX with 768MB vram later, the first DirectX 10 card and i got a bit jealous how nice those graphics were.
i basically had that computer, first pc i build, ah the memories😥 it was perfectly fine with graphics card upgrades up until 2017 btw
People often forget that 4:3 CRT monitors scale cleanly to any resolution. 640x480 is just as sharp as 1600x1200, the only difference is how much detail is being resolved. LCDs unfortunately blur the image and have scaling lag at anything but native res. If you can source a 1280x960 CRT play around with it, suddenly the bargain between resolution, quality and performance becomes much more easy to achieve. Not to mention lower resolutions will often yield higher refresh rates, so you won't be at a dinky 1024x768 @60hz, but 1024x768 @100hz.
When i first ran crisis back in the day it looked like a sega saturn game :(
I recently built a XP gaming rig to play games like crisis fear and doom 3. The specs are a core 2 duo E8600 overclocked to 4.0 ghz. 4 gig of 800mhz DDR2 (only 3gb due to 32bit XP) 2x 300gb WD raptor drives in Raid 0. 2x 9800 gt in SLI. NO REGRETS. Anybody thinking about building a retro pc I say GO FOR IT!
A couple of days ago I've built my Pentium 4 "dream machine". I've used a P4 3.6GHz LGA775 cpu, a very solid i955x mobo (p5wd2 premium by ASUS), 4GB DDR2 RAM, although I've paired them with a 8800GTS 640MB which is a bit newer part compared to the rest. It ran games from that era (Doom 3, HL2, FarCry, FEAR) on the highest settings with minimal effort (I was CPU bound in some of the games though), and so, I thought, why not try and run Crysis. Turned out it ran pretty... decent for a P4 build on 720p med with ~30ish fps on avg, with intense scenes like "First Light" dropping towards the
The 8600 GTS was a great card for its price.
It launched mid 2007 with an MSRP of $200. The 8800GTS 320 was already out with an MSRP of $250 and blew it out of the water. 96 cuda cores and 20 ROPs vs 32 and 8.
When I upgraded my first Emachine (yeah really) I bought a launch week ($650) GTX 280 and E6600. MASSIVELY better card than this, but even at 1440X900 it was not running the game amazingly well.
A lot better than the stock Pentium 4 I upgrade from though, 24 fps there.

I beat the game at the time at high settings at 1440x900 on a HD4850 and a Q6600 with 3 GB RAM...
fps ranged from 20 to 40, with 30 as an average...
At the time i found this very playable, but i doubt if i would consider that playable today.
You won't believe my only pc still have a very old Intel pentium (I don't know the name) , no gpu, 500gb hdd and only 1.25 gb ram.
OS- windows xp
I downloaded and played crysis (completed it today) on it, on default resolution and nearly minimum settings.
Fps rarely went to 25 lol, normally the Fps were between 15-20 with 98%-99% cpu performance.
And on final levels the Fps dropped to 7 Fps, with all low settings I was getting 13 Fps maximum.
And it crashed every time I progress to next level I had to restart it every time
I built a retro gaming PC a few years ago with an Athlon 64 x2 4600 and an HD3850, and Crysis achieved a blazing 27FPS with medium settings @ 1400x900.
Back in the day, I owned a Q6600 and a radeon hd 3870. Installed crysis just to see those impressive visuals, as it's never exactly been my cup of tea. I don't particularly notice dips to 30fps, so maybe I'm just easy to please, but under windows xp, 1680x1050, I had a great experience. There was a program back in the day, I can't find it today, that messed with ini settings. It actually looked a bit better on high, while running a bit better as well. Hell, it even provided ultra, which needed vista.
They should call you one eyed Willy LOL The Goonies ref had to be done
Nice Matrix Mystique case. I finally threw mines out last year after 10 years of service.
When this was released I played it on my brand new core 2 duo 6400 with geforce 8800gts320. Never been so disappointed in performance for the money invested - that geforce was supposed to be the mutts nuts but I should have waited for something better (or at least got the 640 version, what a cheapskate!)
My PSU also went up in smoke during a Crysis session and that was despite having to have the case side panel off and an office fan blowing in there!
Kids today don't realize how heavy that gaming case is. I had a similar one back in 2007, that steel-made piece of crap was impossible to move without health insurance, and if you used it in an environment with humidity over 80% you would get mildew generate underneath the dust, subsequently eating through the paint causing the case to rust.
God bless Lian-Li and their aluminum cases.
That is almost my specs back in 2007, E6600 + 8600 GT + 2 GB RAM, later upgraded to E8500 OC 3.8 GHz + 9800 GT 1GB + 4 GB RAM
Honestly if i had a 4:3 monitor, hell even a CRT, i would choose 800x600 high over say native and medium, honestly sweet spots would be 1366x768 or 1280x1024 because you have some leeway on turning some graphics settings up, since there isn't wiggle room on VRAM yet some on system RAM, you could turn textures down but enable some fancy effects to make up for it, can't wait to make a crysis killer system from the era.
I used to play Crysis on a 512M memory and x600 laptop, it was barely playable. My friend had 1G memory and x700, the game was pretty smooth. It was a good time.
It still absolutely blows my mind that the ascension level still NUKES my 3600x at 4.2ghz and RTX 2080 Super KO combo... 32Gbs of ram included... Msi afterburner always shows crazy results with how this game utilizes all those cores and threads. Crytek definitely had a different vision with how PC hardware was going to evolve thats for sure lmao
I first ran Crysis with a Athlon 64 3200+ and a 9800GT and 2gb of RAM. Ahhhhh the memories :)
People forget that running in lower resolution on a CRT wasn't a problem. 800x600 gaming was common back then even on larger screens.
No point in blocking out the product code btw, it’s linked to that specific motherboard and won’t fully activate any other pc
at the time, with the singleplayer demo, I initially had an E6300 and an 8800GTS(640). I then upgraded to a Q6600 and a GTX 285. Crysis' internal framerate reporting insisted I was getting 90fps... but the game stuttered so bad, it felt more like not a lick over 10. Needless to say, that soured me from anything to do with Crytek.
