Hardware Is my computer old?

[ZeWarrior]

I have a laptop. I was wondering whether it could play Crysis considering the fact that I have a GPU just above the minimum...2 gen's above I think. But the thing is, it said that ' It MAY work with laptop GPUs but is is not supported. So...has anyone tried?


Crysis will run on your laptop but it will most likely run so bad (laggy) you'll want to rip your eyes out. unless you have a $5,000 laptop, you wont be having any fun with crysis :'(

Not really.. A 2K Laptop can probably do crysis on Medium. The TC's Laptop, unfortunately cannot. Probably only on Low, Low at a small res like 800x600. 1024x768 if he's lucky

You mean I can't play Crysis even on low? My laptop costed nearly 4000 dollars...AUSD. And who is TC?

Oh, and what would you say about my dad's computer?:

1.83 Core 2 Duo.
100GB HDD.
17 inch Monitor.
nVidia 8600GT 256 MB model overclocked to 384 mb Graphics.It is a Direct x 10 compatible card.
1 gig ram.
Windows Vista 32 bit.

howcome nobody said anything about the 24x dvd drive?
they kinda don't make them that fast

I can play Crysis though I Had to install it on an external hard drive. It lags abit but that is only when I am versing 20-30 people or more.

No, it is a 24 x DVD drive alright.

Find out the exact Nivida GPU your Dad's computer has.

It is a nVidia 8600 GT 256 MB model overclocked to 384 with warranty.

You can't overclock a GPU to have more memory... It's Not possible. Also the 8600GT is a pretty meh card. It'll get low-medium on crysis at like 1024x768.

So now a GPU is "meh" if it can't play Crysis at full medium?

That's weird, cause on the cover bok it said 384MB 8600GT nVidia.

It's meh not because of that but because it's a pretty bad bang for your buck card... And R-Unit I guess they lied to you. Since there is no 384MB 8600GT.

you can dedicate RAM from your pc to your GPU, but most people are to lazy to do it, it could be that they just did that, but then again, if you payed extra to have that more ram, you got screwed

there isn't one videocard that can run crysis on full
there aren't even two cards that can run crysis on full (SLI or crossfire)
you in fact need Triple SLI to get it olmost on funn (then you're still like 1setting below the absolute full graphics)

You're an idiot.

I second the person above me.

Also, my rig:
Pentium 4 1.6ghz (400mhz fsb, 512kb cache)
768mb RAM (SDRAM 133)
GeForce 4 MX 440 (64mb)
660gb HDD

 

[R-Unit 4]

Taza, you saying you can play it?
And how is Arachnid an idiot...it is the truth...
I know a guy that can play Crysis on an:
Athlon 1.5 Ghz
512mb Ram
NVIDIA 6200GT.

It runs...slowly...laggily...but apparently, one guy got it to run without lag...however the temperature rises quickly and the cutscenes lag. He also needed a water cooling system!
