I have an overclocked Northwood at 3.2Ghz, 2GB RAM and a 6800LE 128MB. It will probably not run but maybe with everything turned down as far as possible so it looks like a piece of rubbish.

Thankfully, Far Cry 2 and GTA4 are the reasons I'm grabbing a new PC when Nehalem arrives.

SM 3 minimum mm i see some pushing in Techs

nothing special here except my piece of **** 88GTS have 320MB V ram

just wandering when will we see Core 2 quad recommended :p i think it is the same way they says core 2 family so i am in the better said ;)

quite large throgh ~12 gb of HDD

any word on DX 10 support ?

i hope crytek doesn't **** us off again

I read the title of this thread as 'Crysis 2' so I was really surprised when I saw those specs :p

Why? The requirements are almost identical to Crysis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crysis#Development

Funny how they kept claiming it wasn't going to be demanding like Crysis, yet the requirements are virtually the same.

...also, why can developers never list the minimum OLD gen card (as they did here) AND the minimum current gen card? EG: 6800/9500 or whatever it would be.

@ sanctified: That'll play it.

I hope it's optimized for DirectX 10. My Vista + G80 installation isn't there just for show, let me use it!

But seriously, even if it's just a DX9 game with a superficial DX10 polish, it looks extremely promising, I can't wait to play it. The gameplay looks solid, the one thing they need to achieve is stability and performance. It's not easy for a game of this size and complexity.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
