I got a question for you guys.

Post » Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:36 am

I just built myself a new PC after about four years of not having a decent PC. I built it mostly for school, but decided to make it able to game a little too. I can run the original Crysis at medium settings flawlessly with room to up certain details, i.e. textures. I am wondering if you guys think my new rig is good enough to handle Crysis 2 at high settings. I already know that the high setting is the new "low" in Crysis 2. So tell me what you guys think.

My specs are as follows:
AMD Phenom II x4 820 @2.8Ghz
4Gb DDR3 RAM
Biostar N68S Mobo
Evga Geforce GT 520 1,024MBDDR3(11.2GB/s version)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

I am coming from the XBox 360 version of Crysis 2 so I don't need any higher settings than high. Thanks in advance.

A GT 520 is way too slow for this game, if you just want to play it at mixed settings without tessellation get a GTX 460 or HD6870.

You say that, but I have watched many youtube videos of people playing Crysis 2 with my gpu with lower spec machines than mine. Even gaming laptops that have the same gpu. I guess I'll just have to see for myself. Thanks anyways for your thoughts.

Just built it so no, I won't be upgrading gpu any time soon. Maybe for the 600 series when it comes out. :p
