Crysis - Image 1Cevat Yerli, the CEO and President of Crytek, gave out a very interesting factoid regarding the upcoming sequel to Crysis called Crysis: Warhead.

According to him, because of the new optimizations made to the game engine, the game can run at 30 to 35 frames per second with high graphics settings on a € 400 (around US$ 620) computer.

He pointed out that they wanted to steer clear of the image that Crysis: Warhead was a game that only gamers with high-end PCs could enjoy. A sentiment, we might add, that a number of gamers had with the original Crysis.

Interestingly enough, Yerli also noted that the changes they've made to the engine can also be applied to Crysis. A fact that users with less than optimal specs may want to look into if the developers decide to release a patch. It begs the question though: will the graphics of the game suffer because of these optimizations? We'll just have to wait and see.

My pc

I hope my e6700 core 2 duo @3.6ghz 4 gigs of ram at 1333 fsb and manufacture overclocked 8800 gt can handle this game!

Sure. But not even close to highest details. And this 400%u20AC stuff is just marketing bla bla. After they lost the majority of interested people because of the ridiculous system requirements its only logical that they now say something like that (which will be a broken promise anyway).

Hey, me too!

Same test specs and same results. Nice. At least the performance is consistent.

specs

Just saved for the q9550 going to run it at 3.7 you don't need the ultra that was a waist of money. My 8800 gt benchmarks just about the same. Also my mobo has the fastest fsb out there at the momoent. Hance i'm waiting for the next 9800 gt or mybe gts
