Could I Run Crysis 3?

Beta? Try low-medium.

Main game? Good luck to ya.

its going to eat your 1GB VRAM for breakfast.darksusperia

please. 1GB vram is like the ciggarette before crysis gets up for breakfast :P

i was so bummed when i bought my 9800gx2, went to go play gta 4 and only saw 413MB vram i was like really now wt

^ haha darksusperia

You could always lower your Monitors resolution you know. Or use Fraps and experiment. 

I doubt this game will be worth it for me. Im not shelling out for a new GPU just to play this!Chris_53

You all watch me run it on ULTRA on my Pentium 2 and GeForce MX440 !!!FelipeInside

I remember when i saw my buddies computer with 1GB of ram in it and i was like :o da future

Don't even get me started on the "can I run it?" question.  Being able to just run something, doesn't mean that you should.  You probably could "run" The Witcher 2 on some ancient graphics card, in that it has the proper DirectX support.  Like, it might could render a fixed non-moving image.  This doesn't mean that the game is playable.

I was having a conversation today with another PC gamer, and I was telling him that I'm gonna pre-order and Playstation 4 ASAP if it doesn't cost over $500.  He said, there is no way he will consider it, until he sees more, because he can just play games on his PC.  I was like "sure, and I'll do most of my gaming on my PC also, but I'll want to play God of War and Uncharted, and maybe Final Fantasy."

Then he started with this "could it run game_x, could it run game_y, could it run ... this and that."  I'm sure it could "render" ANY game currently available, just maybe not in a way that it should be played that way.  

Sitting around asking, "can I run it" doesn't really do much good.  "Can you actually play it?" as in, run it at good enough settings to enjoy it, is a much better question.

I'm sure you'll have no problem getting Crysis 3 to run.  Whether it can run at settings you'll want to play at, is a different story.  I think you probably can, but I'd wait for it to be released so you can see benchmarks, before you commit to buying it.  

Your GPU isn't THAT old/bad, you might be totally fine.  I'd just wait until it comes out before shelling out money though.

This is your GPU.

 These are you key problems with Crysis 3.

Can't be bothered to format this properly, the beers kicked in!

This thread has turned into a bunch of old people reminiscing. Anyway back on track.........Your CPU will Fail and your GPU will suicide itself! Upgrade, get a couple of 690's, you'll be good.........and a new CPU.............................and a new motherboard........................and a new job.acanofcoke

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="mitu123"]Lol, 2GB VRAM for Crysis 3.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="C_Rule"] You need to stop exaggerating VRAM requirements to justify your 4GB GPUs. Unless your monitor res is higher than 1200p, 2GB is ample. C_Rule

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="mitu123"] But it is.=O Quite a bit of games go over 2GB now, even worse with AA. Heck some games in 1200p are over 2GB.

[QUOTE="FaustArp"][QUOTE="mitu123"] For 1200p it's Skyrim, Max Payne 3, Crysis 1, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, BF3, Crysis 3, Sleeping Dogs, etc., I know there's more but I been too busy with custom res and seeing over 2GB in most games.

[QUOTE="FaustArp"] LOL WTF have you been smoking?? Haha. I own every single one those games and I have no issue absolutely dominating them on my PC. I saw Skyrim hit 2 GB like once for maybe half a second, and I still got 60 FPS no problem. And I have over 20 mods installed haha. I would take screenshots showing otherwise but there's no point, because you can't actually be serious. :p. LOL.acanofcoke

[QUOTE="C_Rule"] Nonsense. BF3 uses ~1.4GB @1080p and Sleeping Dogs only ~1GB. 1920x1200 is only ~11% more pixels than 1920x1080, so I don't know how you're getting up to 100% more VRAM usage.C_Rule

http://i5.minus.com/i2EYdliJtIcFb.png

I believe it's map dependent for BF3 and I have it on Ultra so that's why I'm seeing near 2GB when I play it at 1200p and well I do love maxing out games, I have 2 670s after all.:P

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="mitu123"] You won't see over 2GB on your card but I know Sleeping Dogs uses more VRAM than that maxed out on Extreme AA because it's always above 1GB and closer to 2GB. As for BF3, you must not use AA because I'm over 1.4GB all the time with 4xAA, this screen here is near 2GB alone:

Anyways, i played on a few different maps, and 1905 was the max, 64 player conquest servers, large maps. I'm not going wast time and go through each and every map to test, but I really doubt bf3 ever gets over 2gb at 1200p without a memory leak or some other issue going on.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] Battlefield 3 sometimes has memory leak issues, that is probably explaining why you got what you did in that screenshot. I just played a match of BF3 at 1440p with 4xMSAA and postAA on high, and it used about 1.8gb of Vramferret-gamer

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Even if it did, it's so map dependent, Metro uses the least VRAM from what I've seen, here's my old 1440p shot at max settings, over 2GB:

[QUOTE="C_Rule"] Now that you've got two 670s, you should overclock your 2500K. The fps seems kinda low in both of those screenshots. C_Rule

[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Yeah it's on stock clocks, keep forgetting to overclock, will do it soon. Some games it didn't matter since gpu usage was high, but BF3 seems to be the main one that gives me low gpu usage due to stock cpu clocks.
