If the beta is accurate judge of performance of the final, then no. I outpace you a bit (x1900xtx) and the beta absolutely crushed my computer.

This game will be $19.99 by the time more than half the people interested in it will be able to play it.

Yay I'm a little over the recommended. Although not entirely convinced of Crysis being worth the moulah.

As with most PC exclusive games I will just have to pray that it someday comes to console. Still praying for NWN2 and titan quest.

Min specs are waaaaay lower than I expected.
In any case,
, demo is just about 2 weeks away.

I tried not to reply to this (explains the amount of time it took for me to reply), but...
The 8500 and 8600 are budget cards (believe it or not).
They're the equivalent of the Geforce2MX on the Geforce2 ages.
In other words... they suck.
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/ <- this shows a comparative of all videocards ever. You can see the amount of bandwidth/pipelines/vertex the 8500 and 8600 don't have when compared to the 8800 (any version). It's actually kind of insulting.
ATI 1950 and NVidia's 7800/7900 are actually faster than the 8500 and 8600 series, as you can see here: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=710&model2=854&chart=318
I'm pretty sure the recomended specs is a 8800 because, afterall, crysis is a DX10 game.
You can obviously run it on the mentioned cards above.. just not in dx10 glory, and the 8500 and 8600 series is just too gimped to properly run anything in dx10.
These specs are why I am waiting till next year to build a new PC.
Crytek. They made a ton of money off of Far Cry and then selling the IP to UBI.
Of course they are probably getting some kickbacks from various hardware companies (Nvidia, Creative perhaps), but EA is just a distributing partner for Crysis.

Yeah...but only if they have 512MB.drizzle said:
My desktop has a 7800GTX 256MB, my laptop an 8600M GT 512MB (It's a 14", so a mobility 7900 or X1900 wasn't exactly doable). My laptop slaughters my PC in performance in the Crysis beta, BioShock, The Settlers: Rise of an Empire. Basically everything new with nice high-res textures. The only games my desktop performs better in are the older ones that run fine anyway. I mean, I can already max out the orange box stuff, I have no need for further performance increases.
Intel too I think.Mrbob said:

Why did even bother clicking this thread? Not a chance in hell this will run on my PC, and this confirms in the first 3 lines of text.

It's not that bad. Also, Vista users pwned.

Well I was holding off buying a new video card to the next round come out, I am using onboard video intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 (Intel® GMA X3000) and I gotta say for an onboard system this thing kicks ass, but I have got 384mb of ram dedicated to it out of 4gb, I bet it would run on medium settings.

Doesn't look too bad. I was going to get a new gfx card for this anyway. 8800 GTS is very affordable, which will only get better once the new NVidia cards get released. I'm still torn on wether to get a HD2900Pro though, apparently you can run these at XT specs and more easily.
Not to give you any buyer's remorse but why did you opt for an 8600?AltogetherAndrews said:

Processor – 2.8 GHz or faster (XP) or 3.2 GHz or faster* (Vista)MickeyKnox said:
Memory – 1.0 GB RAM (XP) or 1.5 GB RAM (Vista)
You see, vista owners are pwned because they're the only ones who can get DirectX10, and because of that, they need better specs.MickeyKnox said:
Obviously i rather play it in WindowsXP with DX9 support only.
Good thing i bought this 8800, which is DX10 compliant, but i use Windows XP (thus, in DX9) because i will get 10 fps more. HA!

Eh, I had a strict budget. I bought it knowing fully well that it was a budget card, but that doesn't make this any less annoying.

The whole point of their DX10 initiative in this game is using it as an assumed base spec, meaning if you have a DX10 capable machine, you will more than likely be able to keep up on the ram and cpu side of things.

Haha. You think in the minimum settings the game will use DirectX 10 features? The ones I bolded are the minimum requirements.

I can run it at just above minimum recommended specs. Still not really interested in the game though.
