The seemingly age-old question 'Will it run Crysis?' is back with a vengeance as EA has provided the system requirements for the third installment of Crytek's first-person shooter. Set for a February 2013 release, Crysis 3 'demands' the following:

Minimum
  • Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
  • DirectX 11 graphics card with 1 GB Video RAM
  • Dual core CPU
  • 2 GB Memory (3 GB on Vista)
  • Example 1 (Nvidia/Intel):
    o Nvidia GTS 450
    o Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 GHz (E6600)
  • Example 2 (AMD):
    o AMD Radeon HD5770
    o AMD Athlon64 X2 2.7 GHz (5200+)


Recommended
  • Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
  • DirectX 11 graphics card with 1 GB Video RAM
  • Quad core CPU
  • 4 GB Memory
  • Example 1 (Nvidia/Intel):
    o Nvidia GTX 560
    o Intel Core i3-530
  • Example 2 (AMD):
    o AMD Radeon HD 5870
    o AMD Phenom II X2 565
Hi-Performance
  • Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
  • Latest DirectX 11 graphics card
  • Latest quad core CPU
  • 8 GB Memory
  • Example 1 (Nvidia/Intel):
    o NVidia GTX 680
    o Intel Core i7-2600K
  • Example 2 (AMD):
    o AMD Radeon HD 7970
    o AMD Bulldozer FX4150

can't play the game, only have ati 4650..
 
my 580 should be fine?
 
5870 still hanging tough. I need to sell both of mine soon.
 
Got a 6870 so I may try for the ultra high break your system performance :)
 
My 7950 will probably run at 87-90c as usual since XFX Double Dissipation coolers are nice looking but borderline functional, unfortunately.
 
^i like you. thanks for that reassurance :)
 
The MP alpha played well on my system.
 
The recommend system requirements says a quad core CPU and in the example given, there is a dual core i3 :P Well maybe hyper threading does come into picture. Anyway, looking forward to this game.

But then right below that is the Phenom II X2 which does not have HT. There goes that theory. :P

Yeah that looks out of place. Seems itsVERY GPU bound.
 
Hell yeah, high performance tier! Now hopefully the game doesn't blow.
 
Ill probably buy this game, just to see if i could run it haha! Crysis is just another shooter, only thing that it has going for it really is graphics.
 
In reality I'm guessing the real high end requirements for a decent FPS will be:
HD 8970
GTX 780
 
Waiting for that "Has Crysis 3 melted your PC yet?" question...
 
In 5 years, someone will read an article about a new supercomputer being built and ask if it can play Crysis 3.
 
I've asked this before without an answer so here goes again.

Does anyone know at what resolution they use for each?

Example:

Minimum - 720p

Recommended - 1080p

Hi-Performance - 1440p

720p for minimum? that sounds alittle bit too high.
But then again, they did ask for pretty decent cards for it. The 5770 is a very good card though. It makes me wonder if the game will come in DX11 only.
 
Well I will see how well my rig handles it at 2560x1600...
Hopefully Nvidia gets the SLI drivers out for this one on time.
 
The MP alpha was poorly. I would get barely 30 FPS. People were even getting as low as 15FPS with mid-high range systems.

Silly question: Can an APU run this game? The A8-3870K is a quad-core cpu, and it has a Radeon HD 6550.

We won't know until the game is out. Game companies are notorious for giving us unrealistic requirements, so take this thread with a pinch of salt.

Taking a conservative guess. The CPU portion, definitely. The GPU portion (6550) is pretty weak so my guess is 720p at low/medium/low settings, and no anti aliasing.
