Sorry man but the 6150LE is terrible. It came out 5 years ago and was as low as you could go even back then. No you can't run it.

To give you a nice answer, probably not, but it could fairly well with a newer video card. Next time you have doubts try canyourunit (google it)

Lol, look that's a BAD setup.

Let me check your specs out.....3 GB of RAM memory is good, you're solid there. The processor, seems decent enough.

The graphics card is killing your system. I suggest you buy a new one, potentially an NVIDIA 270. Yes, it's old, but it's enough to run the game well.

But I mean, dude, I need to know your motherboard, your case, and power supply. Did you build this or buy the computer from a store? If so what computer was it if you bought?

Just PM me if this thread gets buried or if I don't reply, I'll help you.

I would suggest an Nvidia 560Ti. Sorry about my original comment though. Like I said the video card was just the point I said why to myself. I like EVGA but you may like another company so take your pick.

Also, if you want to just build a new computer altogether, I suggest you do this:

http://www.geforce.com/#/Optimize/Guides/how-to-build-a-kick-ass-crysis-2-pc-for-under-600

And just use youtube to help you on building the parts. This of course is just if you have the money and WANT to do this.

It's a great starter's guide for building a sweet gaming rig IMO, but I actually would go with a Antec 600/900/902 case or Thermaltake armor case over the one NVIDIA talks about on that guide. I also would go with a Western Digital harddrive over the Seagate.

The computer is a Hp slimline s5713w. I have not bought it yet but its on sale for 200.00 bucks at a local pc store in my town. My laptop is old and I thought this was a good deal, plus i would have extra money to upgrade the graphics card.

Look, I hate to break it to you, but that's really NOT that good of a PC. Not at all man :/ HP does a mediocre job of manufacturing their PCs and the air flow in that case is horrible. The NVIDIA card is also an integrated card so no wonder the PC has such a weak card. In addition the motherboard isn't that good either. And the power supply is abmysal. 220 Watts!! You'll need at LEAST 500 watts for a pretty decent card to run Crysis 1.

My advice: Just save up some more money and build your own PC. I can probably think of a PC twice as good as this one for 400 bucks alone! :P It's all about knowing PC hardware deals. I suggest you use newegg.com for buying PC components.

What I want to mainly let you know is that building a PC, ISN'T that hard :p If you need some help, google the issue you have. Youtube has PLENTY of videos on how to build a PC. The only hard part about building a PC, is organizing the wires. It's time consuming, yes, but the result is satisfying, and who knows...maybe you'll enjoy the 3-4 hours building the PC lol. If you really don't feel confident in building, find a friend who can help. But really, it's not THAT hard to built a PC, not even lol.

Just buy a GTX 550ti or gts 450.You dont need a monster card to run crysis2.There are no PC games to release in the future which wants extreme CPU+GPU.Consoles are killing PC gaming very fastly.

Yeah.. "onboard graphics" and "Crysis" / "Crysis Warhead" / "Crysis 2" .. are not a good combo, not at all!

I think they made onboard graphics for people that still like to play PONG!

One of our HP computers @ my work has a Geforce 6150se onboard graphics chip.. I thought I'd be sneaky and download Steam and install CS:Source on it and have fun on my lunch break, well.. laugh was on me, I think the computer farted on my when I tried to load CS:Source, now that's bad. Eventually I did get it to play it, after lowering the quality so much the game had more edges in it than Pitfall for the first Atari game and I was shooting @ square heads.

My current PC has an onboard graphics chip, the AMD/ATi HD 4250, I was curious and took out my GTX 465 and tried to play Crysis 2 on it, well.. that's the 2nd time a computer farted on me.
