Updated "Unofficial" System Requirements For Crysis

Crysis-Online has the "unofficial" updated minimum and recommended system requirements for the upcoming mega-smash hit Crytek masterpiece Crysis. Wow, that"s a mouthful eh? Check these out.

Minimum Requirements

• CPU - Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8 Ghz
• Video - Nvidia 6200 or Ati X1300 - Shader Model 2.0
• RAM - 768 MB on Windows XP or 1 GB on Windows Vista
• HDD - 6 GB
• Internet - 256k+
• Optical Drive - DVD
• Software - Direct X 9.0c with Windows XP

Recommended Requirements

• CPU - Dual Core CPU - Either Athlon X2 or Intel Pentium D
• Video - Nvidia 7600GT or ATI X1800GTO - Shader Model 3.0 or DX10 Equivalent
• RAM - 1.5GB+
• HDD - 6GB
• Internet - 512k+ - 128k Upstream
• Optical Drive - DVD
• Software - Direct X 9.0c with Windows XP

Also of note from the report are a couple of other things. Mainly that Crysis will run on both DX9 and DX10 and on Windows Vista and Windows XP. A video card supporting Shader Model 2.0 is the minimum, period. Don"t bother with anything less. The CryEngine 2 as its called, can scale back quite a bit, around 2 years according to Crysis-Online, and scale ahead around 1.5 years or so. Crysis will utilize multi threaded CPU"s which means the game will support Quad Core processors. A single Geforce 7800GTX will be able to pretty much max out the game.

Now remember, these are not confirmed specs, but I wouldn"t doubt they are pretty accurate at this point. Time to upgrade the old PC folks?
