Question is, what resolution do you run at, and what kind of AA are you using?
Those are the two settings that bring most systems to their knees trying to run Crysis.

I think he answered that 


Remember, when Crysis first came out, only $2000 systems could play it high. This was when the 8800 was still a top of the line deluxe card. Now? A lot more people can run it. Hardware has greatly improved, and prices have plummeted over the past year. The joke goes on, but running cyrsis isn't as spectacular as it once was!

My mistake, I didn't read the post properly.

In that case, what about 1920x1600 and full AA etc?
A little more difficult, methinks.
Griff is right though, it's more a joke than anything else now as many systems can play Crysis just fine.  I can play on all high (one setting medium due to running out of video memory), at 1440x900 and my system isn't top of the line by quite a few accounts.

I can play it on all high at 1920 x 1080 on my 4870 and I get a decent amount of fps.  When crysis first came out was when everyone was complainging

I can run it 1920x1080 with 16q aa, but the fps goes down to about 20-25.
which isnt really playable in the scope of things

The real problem is can the AVERAGE USER run the game at high settings like you do? Most likely NOT. That was why people were complaining.

What is AA?

stops jagardness in the game

The game was never intended to be a game that grandad can play on his Pentium MMX.
It was a modern intensive game, to showcase the new technologies such as DirectX10 and the realism that could be achieved with the newer hardware.
The game was perfectly playable on odler systems if you turn the settings down, it just didn;t look as good which is really what you'd expect, right?
I never saw why people complained about not being able to run it on all high, if their computers could handle it it would've looked awful.
Hope you can see where I'm coning from.

yer, but then again the game is extremely boring and un life like on low settings

That's what I was getting at ... on low it doesn't look good, which is the whole point.

But *censored* that looks tight. Wondering if you got the second Crysis, which is the Crysis Warhead. That would be tight as well....
