Now we keep our fingers crossed and see if the recommended requirements hint at Tessellation. (It's already been confirmed that this game is DX 11 Native)

Still crossing my fingers, Dx11 or not. As long as their Pc requirements are going to be stable for minimum....

I wonder what the recommended requirements are. I mean 8800GT as a minimum is kind of bad and good at the same time.

Bad because, I mean its a 8800 series and they still max out almost any game out there as long as you dont go too high on resolution. My old 8800GTS 640mb maxes Crysis Warhead on 1280x1024 at 30 fps all on Very High, DX10. 4xAA. And it goes for about ￡40 on ebay :/

Good thing because if thats minimum, you can pick up a GTX 460 for a hundred and something bucks and maybe almost max it ? With playable fps I mean.

We ll have to wait and see.

Really! By whom?

Yes I have gtx 460 i am sorted lol

hi all order a game and i am interesting if i can run game on nvidia 8800 GTS ?

Yes you can run it fine on 8800GTS

Yes, you can. But to be safe, a future proof upgrade maybe needed in the long run....

Guys,will my computer is good enough for crysis 2? :\


PC :Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.40Ghz
RAM : 4 GB.
Windows : W 7 64-Bit.
Geforce 8800GTS 512MB

Yes

I think that since the game is going to be 3D capable, Dx11 is a given.

The one nice thing about the 9.0c and up is that you can run, or have requirements for various levels of DX within one game. BFBC2 does that.

Has anyone heard if CryEngine3 is capable of Tessilization?

Adam , or Tom; can we get a recommended requirement? Will that be released in the semi-near future?
Can you even say? ;D

i have a gforce 9500GT 1 GB will i be able to run this ??? i hope so

Given what you have in your box (per your profile), you should be fine. Maybe not ultra-high settings, but not bottom line either. Read the list of MINIMUM STATS again.

PC Games Hardware interviewed the Devs a few months back and confirmed that Crysis 2 is DirectX 11.

"At the Gamescom 2010 PC Games Hardware was given the opportunity of gathering detailed information on the CryEngine 3 which will be used in Crysis 2: DirectX 11 including compute shaders and tessellation, multicore-rendering, stereoscopic 3D, cineastic effects and more..."

"So, Sean showed to us the implementation of many light sources in deferred lighting plus real time shadows, particles, the AI, the reengineered physics and some other cool features such as the scripting system. As already mentioned, the demonstration ran on DirectX 9. But the Cryengine 3 also packs DirectX 10 and 11, and in a few months it will be delivered to the first licencees. The most important feature are the compute shaders who will accelerate computing deferred lighting and post effects. The engineers are still experimenting on tessellation but we expect it to be seen in Crysis 2."

Also, check this interesting tidbit out as well (From the same article):

"Crysis 2: Up to 8 CPU-Cores can be used
When it comes to cinematic effects, the CryEngine 3 includes everything there is: ambient occlusion, depth of field, (object) motion blur, even the bokeh filter. In addition it is highly optimized for multi core systems: rendering, audio, AI, physics and so on are parallelised and accelerate the game - up to eight cores would be used. Sean assured us, that the Cryengine 3 would render nearly twice as many fps as the CE2 at comparable graphics quality."

Looks like my i7-930 will finally get something to really chew on.

The min. requirements are already that strong... any further attempt for recommended requirements is like asking for a bullet for your valentine...
(Most of our rigs, can handle this

Thanks for the follow-up Miaku. MUCH abliged!

Here is what the CryEngine 3 can do. I don't think this is on min specs.

If you have a HD monitor.. this really pops! Watch it on at least 720 and listen to it in Stereo. The Audio is just as impressive as the visuals.

(BTW, the Youtube tags don't seem to work)

wait.. that's CryEngine 2. o_0

i have a gforce 9500GT 1 GB will i be able to run this ??? i hope so
A 9500GT doesn't meet the minimum.
The minimum is a 8800GT/9800GT (9800GT is a rebrand)

lol
It's amazing what some good custom texture design can do. =P

Lower hardware can handle the game some what, but it will lag most of the time and crashes are a high possibility too. So stick with anything above the system requirements posted in the OP...

Don't be too quick to judge. we haven't seen any footage at PC gaming level yet; only console or equivalent.

Per This Interview!

I'm just a bit giddy right now!

But we can still theorize, while were here

The min requirements aren't strong at all.

I hope this 'require an Internet connection to install the game' doesn't mean STEAM.
If yes, I can't install game in premiere day, becouse steam's servers will overloaded.
It should be something like NFS Hot Pursuit or Medal of Honor system of installation.

How do you think guys?

The 8800GT is old now...
The requirements really aren't that high.
