I want my Pc to be able to run Crysis on high with no lags perfect. I want every game out there to work and maby not have to up grade my PC for like 2 years.
What do i need and how much might it be if you have an idea.
I want to build a PC soon and what do i need to run Crysis on high?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
At least a 3.0ghz dual core (I reccomend AMD, since Intel is falling through the cracks right now), 2GB of DDR 2 RAM, Windows XP, and either the new ATI Radeon HD3870 X2 which is going for about $500 right now, or the new Nvidia 9800 which is coming out soon. Not too mention for these extremely powerful cards you will need a good, cool case and at least a 680 watt PSU.
Crysis is the most demanding game to run in history at its highest settings. If you already have a monitor + keyboard + mouse, than you might be able to afford a good enough PC. Use as many parts from you old PC as you can, namely your Hard Drive, CD Drive, and Case if it's big enough and well-vented.

High settings in XP or Very High in Vista? On your budget the high in XP is totally doable but I don't see very high in vista happening unless you have quite a bit of hardware to transfer over.

I don't know about needing 3Ghz dual core for crysis, I'm running an e6700 (only 2x2.66Ghz) and even with my 8800s I've never bottlenecked at CPU, always at the GPU level.

Why recommend AMD when Intel has better bang for the buck?
Get a Q6600, 4GB RAM (for future Vista usage), 8800GTS 512MB and a Corsair 550W PSU (outputs 40A on 12V).
Don't get the new 9800GTX (just G92 on steroids) since it will be expensive and won't have much better performance than the 8800GTS, 8800GTX and 8800ULTRA cards.
Will you overclock the components?

Too bad that Intel is doing VERY BAD financially right now. Intel and Citibank are pretty much expected to be the next Enron on Wall Street. Unless you care nothing about customer service and support within the next 2-3 years, then go with AMD.

Intel is doing very well, i have no clue where you heard that, AMD is almost bankrupt, Intel is fine.
Crysis wont run with "no lags perfect" no matter what you have.Stranger_7
Crysis can run fine without lag on many sytems so I also have no ideo where you came to that conclusion

Actually in point of fact they can not. You can unlock SOME of the effects but even with the 'very high' tweaks DX9 renders are still far worse than DX10 renders.

Actually, I would wager you couldn't tell a difference between them. The only major feature DX9 can't do is advanced motion blur.
intel e8400 (don't listen to the other guy intel has the best cpus now but amd is cheaper if its to expencive)
8800gts (g92)
2gb ram

550-600w should be fine

WHAT! I cannot believe you just said that. say good bye to all credability on these forums. I hope for you sake that someone hacked your account and said these harsh words. BTW AMD is on the brink of being bankrupt. a perfect example of this is why the most expensive part in a xbox 360 is its graphics processor. Though the ONLY processor on amd's part right now I can reccomend is the 5000+ black edition. This is because you can overclock it to the speeds and beyond of the higher versions and its also smaller so less heat is generated. Now I am not saying amd sucks...

Don't get the new 9800GTX (just G92 on steroids) since it will be expensive and won't have much better performance than the 8800GTS, 8800GTX and 8800ULTRA cards.
Will you overclock the components?
[QUOTE="xmen1414"]I want my Pc to be able to run Crysis on high with no lags perfect. I want every game out there to work and maby not have to up grade my PC for like 2 years.
What do i need and how much might it be if you have an idea.

High settings in XP or Very High in Vista? On your budget the high in XP is totally doable but I don't see very high in vista happening unless you have quite a bit of hardware to transfer over.
You do know that very high settings can be unlocked in XP right?
Too bad that Intel is doing VERY BAD financially right now. Intel and Citibank are pretty much expected to be the next Enron on Wall Street. Unless you care nothing about customer service and support within the next 2-3 years, then go with AMD.

[QUOTE="TrooperManaic"][QUOTE="chandlerr_360"][QUOTE="Arnalion"][QUOTE="chandlerr_360"]At least a 3.0ghz dual core (I reccomend AMD, since Intel is falling through the cracks right now), 2GB of DDR 2 RAM, Windows XP, and either the new ATI Radeon HD3870 X2 which is going for about $500 right now, or the new Nvidia 9800 which is coming out soon. Not too mention for these extremely powerful cards you will need a good, cool case and at least a 680 watt PSU.
Crysis is the most demanding game to run in history at its highest settings. If you already have a monitor + keyboard + mouse, than you might be able to afford a good enough PC. Use as many parts from you old PC as you can, namely your Hard Drive, CD Drive, and Case if it's big enough and well-vented.

Why recommend AMD when Intel has better bang for the buck?
Get a Q6600, 4GB RAM (for future Vista usage), 8800GTS 512MB and a Corsair 550W PSU (outputs 40A on 12V).

WHAT! I cannot believe you just said that. say good bye to all credability on these forums. I hope for you sake that someone hacked your account and said these harsh words. BTW AMD is on the brink of being bankrupt. a perfect example of this is why the most expensive part in a xbox 360 is its graphics processor. Though the ONLY processor on amd's part right now I can reccomend is the 5000+ black edition. This is because you can overclock it to the speeds and beyond of the higher versions and its also smaller so less heat is generated. Now I am not saying amd sucks... I own a AMD but if I could switch to intel, id do it in a second without thinking about it twice.Wow, go do some actual stock research. You will see that intel is down like 6% and cannot meet their financial quota per month right now.
...while completely ignoring that they managed to turn a record profit last quarter. :roll:
Stocks rise and fall by a larger scale than 6%, every day.
What particular 'financial quota' are you referring to?
Good lord, who taught you economics/accounting?
It doesn't matter too much what you choose....Crysis using 3 cards and nvidia can't get the driver right.......Crysis will bring 2 sli 8800ultra's to its knees with everything on ....I would recomment the 8800gt...if you can get 2 of them...great....then you can run crysis on high with some lag....it's just a bad A$$ game for graphics card makers.....I would stick with amd myself

These are all really good budget parts and will keep the price down......
Or you could get 2 of these

Personally I like the ati cards.....yea a little bit slower but the IQ is fantastic......
Again....you will have to get 2 video cards to run crysis on high with NO lag whats so ever......I have tried myself with one card the 8800ultra and it won't do it....it still lags when your in a serious firefight....I hope this information helps you with your choice
I want to build a PC soon and what do i need to run Crysis on high?
Lot's of money?
Not really.A relatively fast core 2 duo or equalient CPU,2GB Ram and $200 graphics card is all you need ofcourse IF you are talking high in a res like 12x10 or something.I want to build a PC soon and what do i need to run Crysis on high?

No? I have an AMD athlon 64 3200, 2 gigs ram, and an 8800GT and I can run it on high. Sure its not perfectly smooth, but you certaintly do not need a lot of money to run it on high.

I thought you said nothing can play crysis on low with no lag? According to your statement, how would that play crysis on high?
Of course I think that it would play crysis on high, but you suddenly change your opinion on what you need to play crysis?
