Well your system is higher than the game need for sure the ram is great , the gpu is great the cpu is great !

You will run it at Max with a resolution 1680x1050 , if you see laggy the game with that resolution then dont buy anything until you check the tips i will give you : 1: check your system for virus
2: Close any runing program in background ( program that you not need )
3: Repier system errors like registry,use Advanced system care for that or CCleaner

Keeping your PC clear and healthy it will have more perfomence than that you think

but hey ... if you have money and you dont know what to do with those money then go and buy an GTX580^^


Don't tell him to clean his registry... Unless he knows what he is doing. And remember to always backup your registry's. If you don't it can lead to problems with your system being unstable. A lot of people mistake that by cleaning your system registry it somehow gives you a system boost. Although it can help the system just be cautious with programs that promise to optimize the whole computer in 1 click. Each computer is different and has it's own problems

By the way Ccleaner is indeed a good program.

Yeah, I know all that, this is my 3rd custom build... I know all those tricks the only thing that has me worried is that I don't know if my GPU will be man enough for it :L

Should find out soon enough! Once MP demo is released -.-

op you got dual channel ram in a tri channel mobo -.-
you wont max crysis2 with dx11 features even on that res
dx10yes dx11 no
same answer for the guy with 570
honestly people play metro or run a dx11 bench and realize how dof n tesslation destroy fps

not one of us has a clue what the settings will be like and how much they will affect performance so we cant really answer those questions yet.

Oh god no! never buy a gtx580 ><

The age of high end enthusiast cards are over, now is the age of the double mid range SLi'd gtx560's ftw!

Well yeah 2 have 2 nvidia cards u need a sli motherboard and psu to handle it all + big enough case so that might be alot of money when u can just buy 1 powerful one and you can max it out.

And to the topic yeah youll max it out on that resolution.

it sorta svcks seeing peoples posts about can their pc run this when they damn well know they can.. it's like they are doing it to say hey look at me i gotta better pc than yours but im just gonna act all sad and hope i can run it... no hate intended. But yes that setup will ace crysis 2

There is a huge difference between running the game at all and running the game at maximum graphics (lol).

Crysis at its release, ate up hardware in a fiery hell when people tried to run it maxed, so questioning the Crysis 2 release and maximum graphics isn't exactly that far out.

i hate this show-off topics....no body knows for sure if you can run at max or not... just wait the demo and see for yourself...

I know this question is thrown around alot, but I really want to know if my system is fine or will I need to add a little more kick.

My specs are...

- Intel i7 950 @ 3.07

- EVGA X58 SLI 3 Motherboard

- EVGA GTX 470

- 8GB Corsair Vengeance Ram

- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Thanks in advance

If I am understanding this correctly, you only have one GTX470 on a Mobo that capable of running Tri-SLI ? If yes, more than likely not. You will be above average with that card but C2 will beat it up if its not cooled correctly.

With max setting including maxing out the bone crusher of graphics setting, AA, your going to need SLI or Tri-SLI and more than likley a nVidia 500 series VC. This is speculation though, as we know very little about how the PC version is going to be handed to us.

yeah but now people can run crysis at max and crytek said themselfs that you will run crysis2 around the same if not, better than crysis 1

Yes at the moment it's just the one GPU, as for cooling I have a HAF X case, which has proven to be one of the best cases for cooling the GPU by fans. I can play Crysis at max setting with x4 AA without any problems, although the back of the GPU blows out quite warm. but Crysis is the only game that does that to my GPU.

As for AA, I plan not to go over x4, I can settle with x2 AA though.

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was showing off my system... but I am generaly concerned about not being able to max it out. I am able to max out Crysis with x4 AA without anyproblems or lag. i know crytek said that if you can play crysis you will be able to play crysis 2, but I don't think they ment at high specs.
