How Crysis Performs on Low End Hardware

1nf3rn0x · Apr 3, 2010

How Crysis performs on a low end PC. Played at the highest settings possible on a very demanding map with lots of shadows, water, vegetation, smoke effects and lighting. It actually handled it quite well, being playable at a 720p resolution. If you want to know the system that played it look at system specs under Epic Junior (my low end PC)

PLEASE READ: THE FOLLOWING VIDEO WAS RECORDED WITH ALL GRAPHICAL SETTINGS AT 'VERY HIGH' RUNNING ON LOW END HARDWARE (check epic junior which is my other low end pc, check system specs) WITH PLAYABLE FRAMERATE ON A VERY DEMANDING MAP.

Crysis on Very Low looks and runs similar as Far Cry on Very High. So do the math.

Lionheart · Apr 3, 2010

Crysis on low settings looks utter crap!

RejZoR · Apr 3, 2010

It looks almost the same as Far Cry so that's far from crap.

I played the beta at 1280x1024 with everything @ medium with a e4300, 1GB RAM and a x1950pro, and it looked great. It's actaully pretty well optimized until you go for the higher settings.

Well thats your opinion, too me crysis on low settings looks like a buch of textures with low shading effects, farcry on highest settings looks better to me :toast:

Are you saying the video looks like crap, or just in general crysis at low looks like crap. Since the vid is all at very high settings

Hayder_Master · Apr 3, 2010

crysis on very low look like crap, like game of play station 1

crush3r · Apr 3, 2010

What 1nf3rn0x is saying is that the graphical settings are set to MAX but it's playing on LOW end hardware

Does seem to run well :toast:

Nah just in general and in my experience

I have a friend that used to play crysis on a system consisting of-

xp2800 cpu (old clawhammer)
ATI X800 gfx card
2 ddr 400 ram

The game actually ran quite well, all settings on low, 800*600 res

Exactly!

Indra EMC · Apr 3, 2010

Crysis didn't need a monster card, just set to LOWEST Setting (looks like a crap

) but i get 60 fps on 1024 x 768 with 8500 GT (on my dad PC

)

1nf3rn0x · Apr 3, 2010

Yeh i hate when people say crysis is such a hard game to play, even a 4650 can play it maxed out at 720p with a demanding map at playable fps

Lionheart · Apr 3, 2010

I hate talkin about crysis LMAO!!! cuase the whole game is a crysis :cry:

1nf3rn0x · Apr 3, 2010

hate talkin about crysis LMAO!!! cuase the whole game is a crysis

Yeh i guess, i just have the game because I download all the maps made by people on sandbox which TBH are funner than the ones in the real game.

sure this video graphic look well, but i was meant if you set crysis on very low setting cuz im try it before and when i see it i was shock

newtekie1 · Apr 3, 2010

I used to play the original Crysis on an x800XL, it was certainly playable on low settings, and didn't look all that bad either.

n-ster · Apr 3, 2010

Now this is believable.. U2K's claims are not :rolleyes:

t77snapshot · Apr 3, 2010

When I played Crysis I only had two 9600gt's and was running the game on medium settings with no AA and I thought looked fine.

hat · Apr 3, 2010

Yeah, med is just fine IMO. Low is a little too... low
