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.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
