    GameSpot follows the official Crysis system requirements announcement with an interview with Crytek CEO and Executive Producer Cevat Yerli. This interview goes into detail on the system requirements with specific hardware related questions.

     

     

     

    GS: When we talked last year it was said that Crysis will ship with 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Is 64-bit still in the box? Does it offer any kind of performance improvements as predicted?

     

     

    CY: Yes 64-bit in general runs better than 32-bit. In fact I would recommend gamers run 64-bit only under very-high configurations. We ship both 32-and-64-bit out of box.

  2. 32 Player full server

     

    1.8mb down

    350kb up

     

    in 2 mins

     

    on server of 32 players

     

    initial download before start of round was a 6 second burst of 70-80 k

     

     

    120 seconds for 1800 k is 1800 divided by 120

    or 180 divided by 12 = 15k/sec average down

     

     

    120 sec for 350 divided by 120

    same as 35 / 12 = 2.9 K/sec upband average.

     

     

    facts at Beta 3 test.

  3. This thread is going nowhere

     

    KDC you start by asking if it's worth paying the extra £45 for the 1024Mb version of the HD2900pro, if your willing to go to that price then like others have said, go for the same priced card

  4. Add any you think of but, they should only be the basic core programs that we all use & require by default. This thread is not about the pros and cons of applications but a list of things to remember.

     

    So for example:

     

     

    Windows OS (XP or Vista)

    Service packs (updates all)

     

    Internet explorer 7+

    Firefox 2.0+

    fire fox add ons (uk dictionary)

     

    Antivirus, firewall (like norton internet security)

     

     

    Microsoft office or open office

    outlook or outlook express

     

    Teamspeak

    msn messenger live

    skype

    xfire

     

     

    packing & unpacking

     

    Winzip

    winrar

    7 zip

    winace

    par2

  5. 2 things, the bull shit that a 9800 will come out this year for sub $600 US

    and second, you want to build a system for crysis but you sacrifice the main

    component (8800GTX) for a sound card & PSU.

     

    Get a lesser PSU and use onboard sound.

     

    The CPU & GPU are the 2 most important items.

     

    9800 for sub $600 Nov 07 (vapour ware)

     

    lets see in 45 days, 22 Nov 07 ?

     

    to recap 8900 GTx ? $600 lets see

  6. KDC says the ATi HD2900 Pro is far cheaper than the nVidia 8800 GTX,

    lets see.....

    Yes America is unfair $200 difference. I say save on your memory and go GTX ! You won't look back.

    if you go 29xx pro you will always be thinking about it.

  7. Well welcome to the big boys club.

     

     

    As for waiting for anything that does not exist and if it did you wouldn't buy it because of the price $1000 I would not go for that. The 89xx nVidia will not be cheap and the price of the 88xx GTX will not just drop, only lower end cards will loose price.

     

    Zeno's tips are all well founded. Like he mentioned cheaper high end 6400 memory is the order of the day. I thought OCZ reaper HPC was the cheapest but I found,

     

    OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK) 800MHz RAM Speed, CAS 4-4-4-15 Timings, 1.8-2.1v VDIMM, Lifetime Warranty with OCZ.
