I just looked it up and it looks like the Far Cry demo came out 3 months prior to actual release!

*Crosses fingers*


I got into the closed multiplayer beta for FarCry and I remember both it and the early demo running better on my then hunk of junk computer than the full version.

The demo was of the third or fourth level in. You had to blow up some satellite dish. It was really great.

Not a mutant to be found.

Though I will most likely not get it for awhile. I want to get a DX10 card before I worry about getting this game.

Ask EatChildren, I think he'll be able to tell you that 8800's are pretty good cards.

Now to find a good 1680x1050 Crysis background and a countdown timer that doesn't suck... any links to either receive muchos kudos.

A fair bit excited that I may now be able to atleast run the game.
I've never bought top of the line PC equipment, and never will. IMHO, its far too much of a rip off. I gladly settle for the budget gamer line as it runs the games good enough to the point where I'm satisfied. Anyways my current setup had little hope of running this monster.

athlon 64 3500+
gig if ancient ram
7600 gt :(

Just bought a new mobo / athlon 64 x2 4400+
2 gigs of cheaper but still miles ahead of my old ram
considering an 8600GT, unless the 8800 GT drops to close its price by christmas, I'd rather have the extra money in my pocker than the moderate boost in FPS.

That's what I used to think, but it feels so GOOD being able to run Oblivion and C&C3 (and [OMG!] possibly Crysis!!) on full detail at full speed. If you're going to spend time playing games, you might as well get as much out of them as you can.

From what I hear the 8600GTS is a significant step better than then 8600GT, even the 512MB version. At least consider that. Assuming you're American, you can get:
- 8600GTS for $160 ($140 after rebate, dirt cheap, come on)
- 8800GTS 320MB for $280 (that's $250 after the rebate, and quite a leap ahead of the 8600's)
- 8800GTS 640MB for $380 (again, $350 after mail in rebate)

Honestly $250 is not that much money for a component that is always going to be expensive. You don't have to spend a fortune on something like RAM, but with video cards you tend to get what you pay for. I'd at least go for the 8800GTS 320MB. Crysis will love you that much more for it.

I agree, however the extra 500 or so cash feels so GOOD in my wallet!

the difference between a little more than 100 dollars, and $250 is a LOT for me right now, just replaced the transmission in my truck mate! I'm hurtin for cash and 250 is simply to much to spend on a pc part.

Thanks for the info though, any idea how much the prices will be dropping when the 9 series is out I may wait until then if its significant.

Im sure I heard somewhere that the HALO jump that do to infiltrate the islands was going to be fully interactive, like Medal of Honor Airbornes 'drops'.

But it can't be if the first level of the game has a specific starting point (the start of the E3 demo.)

Ich, wait until around Christmas time, when nVidia releases the 9 series, then you can get an 8800 for a really low price.

nVIDIA is releasing their next cards in November.

Ooops. As stated above :):

Aren't those specs very possibly fake? Or was that just the release date? Either way, onboard sound chip sounds cool.

nVidia should release the 9800's like a week before Crysis comes out, and have a bundle deal with Windows Vista.
