> Crysis is a first-person shooter video game series created by Crytek. The series revolves around a group of military protagonists with "nanosuits", technologically advanced suits of armor that give them enhanced physical strength, speed, defense, and cloaking abilities. The protagonists face off against hostile North Korean soldiers, heavily armed mercenaries, and a race of technologically advanced aliens known as the Ceph, who arrived on Earth millions of years ago and have recently been awake...

Crysis will no doubt be a fairly demanding game. It will require a good system to perform well. However, CryEngine2 is very scalable so lower end machines will still stand a chance. Here are the official, and complete system requirements for Crysis.

```
	  	            <b>Minimum Requirements</b>

                 <b>CPU:</b> Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz (3.2 GHz for Vista), Intel Core 2.0 GHz (2.2 GHz for Vista), AMD Athlon 2800+ (3200+ for Vista) or better <b>RAM:</b> 1GB (1.5GB on Windows Vista) <b>Video Card:</b> NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or better <b>VRAM:</b> 256MB of Graphics Memory <b>Storage:</b> 12GB <b>Sound Card:</b> DirectX 9.0c Compatible <b>ODD:</b> DVD-ROM <b>OS:</b> Microsoft Windows XP or Vista <b>DirectX:</b> DX9.0c or DX10                  
    
    <b>Recommended Requirements</b>
    
                                <b>CPU:</b> Core 2 Duo/Athlon X2 or better <b>RAM:</b> 1.5GB <b>Video Card:</b> NVIDIA 7800 Series, ATI Radeon 1800 Series or better <b>VRAM:</b> 512MB of Graphics Memory <b>Storage:</b> 12GB <b>Sound Card:</b> DirectX 9.0c Compatible <b>ODD:</b> DVD-ROM <b>OS:</b> Microsoft Windows XP or Vista <b>DirectX:</b> DX9.0c or DX10[/QUOTE]

I’m half expecting my PC to DIAF. I meet the minimum and then some, but I don’t want to look at cheep textures and low quality shaders. Who knows though, it may be a very well optimized game
