Crysis 3 requirements? Another with no XP and no DX9.

Yet another game to push systems, here it is:

Crysis 3 system requirements (minimum)

• CPU: 2.8 GHz dual core processor, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom X2 or better
• RAM: 2GB
• Graphics: DirectX 10 graphics card with 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 400-series or AMD Radeon 5000-series.
• Operating system: Windows Vista
• DirectX 9c sound card
• 16 GB free hard drive space

Crysis 3 system requirements (recommended)

• CPU: 2.4 GHz quad core processor, Intel Core i5 or better
• RAM: 2GB (4 GB for 64-bit operating systems)
• Graphics: DirectX 11 compatible video card with 1GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 500-series or AMD 6000-series or better.
• Operating system: Windows 7, Win 7 64-bit is preferred
• DirectX 9c sound card, dedicated audio card is preferred
• 16 GB free hard drive space

XP and DX9 getting less supported!

Great to see

Those requirements aren't that high for what could potentially be the best looking game of 2013.

Don't meet the recommended requirements, but I plan to overhaul my rig next year anyhow.

That's awesome. Dump DX9. That was Crysis's biggest problem. Those games are too big for DX9.

I have everything for the recommended even the dedicated sound card. RyviusARC

Oh yeah these are totally legit and not another site pulling reqs out its ass 7 months before the game releases.

If they are dropping DX9 and forcing DX11, then I can believe it.

A lot of that trailer we just saw utilized a lot of DX11 features.

My x51 is ready.

No Windows 95 or 98?:evil: Now I will have to upgrade my PC...

Doesn't look like my rig meets the recommended requirements...or just barely. :/

At least my computer will most likely be upgraded by 2013. Just gotta wait for Christmas.

Recommended is a generation and a year behind the 600 series.

The game has not even reached beta, speculating about minimum requirements is retarded. I don't understand all these sites that just make up requirements and create confusion.

No one cares really...

Its kind of depressing that I have just noticed that my PC could not run this game as I have a 4890. The job-gods better hook me up soon :(.

Yayy finally more games ditching old stuff

i am enraged. no DX8 support. no DX 9 support. what about all those people on windows 98? i should be able to run it on a geforce 3. :P.

really though its about time. DX9 should have been dumped quite some time ago but its nice to see it finally getting the boot.

and what's the problem? xp and dx9 are a decade old.

Good, we are finally moving forward with most games now starting to drop XP. Like the old windows OS's, XP just has to be rendered obsolete.

anyone who has XP usually isn't much of a PC gamer anyway, so this won't really affect many people.

I own the limited edtion of Crysis and Crysis 2. I will be pirating Crysis 3 since I won't buy a game that forces me to use an OS that I dislike. Good thing I spent a whole day making my pirated windows 7 as identical to my custom XP as possible so when new games come out I can just install my backup image of Win7 that I created and play the game. When I'm done I can reinstall my legit XP image making things exactly the way it was as if I never left XP. Best part is it only takes 15 minutes to make the switch to or from XP. That is how it will be from now on since I won't pay for something that I can't use on my primary OS. Since I don't use Win7 and only use it temporarly to run a game, I don't see why I should pay for it. The move of no longer supporting DX9 games is going to make a lot of loyal XP users just pirate more and more. DX11 is a joke. I've seen so many better looking DX9 games such as the original F.E.A.R. or Mafia II. Those games look amazing. DX11 is nothing more than true DX9 at it's best. Black Ops II calls itself DX11, I thought the graphics looked like Turok from 2008 which is DX9. I own a huge collection of games and wish I could continue building that collection. Looks like my game buying days are over. At least Mass Effect 3 multiplayer will keep me busy for the rest of the decade on my beautiful customized XP that looks and runs so much better. I'd rather repay MS $140 every 10 years to renew my XP license(if it'll continue support) than to downgrade to Win7 for free.

I hear you...Thats why i never left Win 98 SE...i mean...what the hell is this dx11...it is just true dx6 at it's best...I wont buy games anymore either...

Even though I'm not a big fan of the crysis series, other than the first, I am glad to hear that more and more devs are kicking the crappy old DX9 to the curb. It's about damn time, and it needs to happen everywhere. We are WAY past the day so bring DX11 into all games already!

There are so few gamers that stick with XP these days, thy can easily be forgotten since they're so ridiculously stubborn for a gimped out old OS that performs worse than Windows 7 (and certainly even Windows 8)...it's time to move into the current decade people.

And it's developed also for consoles and I think they're the main platform now but still it should/will look, run better on PC.

Anyway was there any big difference between DX 9 and DX 11 in Crysis 2? From what I know it had tessellation and a few "DX 11 effects" that weren't that amazing. I couldn't run it in DX 11 cause it required a 64 bit OS and 4 GB RAM and I had only 2 GB but the game looked great in DX 9.

They still force you onto the Windows platform if you want to play the game.

I wish more developers had some ideals and principles so that they would create their games to work with more than just one private company's proprietary OS :|
In the long run it would be much better for everyone, except maybe the greedy old men behind the big companies.

Looks interesting although I only just scrape through on the graphics card as I have a 5770 ATI.Garfield360UK

eh im just weirded out because its the same engine from crysis 2 (which runs awesome), the map was REALLY small and had very little in the way of lighting or fancy effects. Just brown bricks and weeds.

CRYTEK are pros @ making state of the art graphic, but I can't stop giggling at their "offical system requirement", (crysis1 and crysis2 anymore?) this "official recommended system" can barely run crysis2 steady, judging from crysis3's mp alpha the processing power crysis3 requires will at least double of triple of crysis2.

all I can say is good luck trusting crytek's "official system requirement" :lol: (is not like I care, already geared up for crysis3 anyway)

Recommended is a generation and a year behind the 600 series.

Because of the shadows...i have a gtx570 superclocked also...and everything was on max @ 1080...it ran bad...but then, i have turned shadows to medium and i had 60 fps constant.

If the recommended requirements are for 1080p, cool! I can delay assembling a new PC.
