Re: so..with my system, i shouldn't even bother?
Your machine is certainly powerful enough to run the game - maybe not at the highest settings. If you liked Farcry you will like Crysis. The games are pretty similar, with Crysis having better graphics.
Overclock your CPU and your GT a bit and you will fare a little better with frame rates. Try the demo.

Re: so..with my system, i shouldn't even bother?
I'm assuming that's a GTS and not a GT.
You can run it fine. You wont be able to max it out of course, but it wont be bad. Whether it's worth it will be more about whether you like the playing style.

A must buy for sure. The game will look even better with future systems. My PC made the minimum requirements and it still looks great.

Re: so..with my system, i shouldn't even bother?
I'd say the game is worth picking up if you like single player games. Its pretty enjoyable, and the destructible environments really do add a cool dimension to the game. Don't bother if you're looking for a good multiplayer.

Check back in like a month or two when mods start coming out though, hopefully some of them make the game worthwhile.

Re: so..with my system, i shouldn't even bother?
He could not run everything at high. Medium, with a few settings low. I have C2D 2.4ghz 8800GTS 32mb, and I run at 1680x1050, and the game kills my system, high settings result in about 10fps.

Aye, there's no hardware that can do this game full and playable in all situations.

Do not mind my double post, I was watching a movie and sent it 2 times accidentally. If an administrator reads this they can delete the First post post, i like the 2nd one better :P.
