Will I be able to play crysis on this laptop?

[SpeedZealot369]

Here's my laptop's configuration:

T7200 2Ghz
2GB 677mhz
200gb 5400rpm
Geforce 7900gs GO 256mb gddr3
1440x900 native res
X-fi soundblaster notebook


Will I be able to play crysis at 1440x900? or will it have to be at extremely low quality?

thanks

Hmm, I am not the best source but from my experience with Crysis that setup might have to settle with low settings. If you haven't check out the Crysis CCC patch. I googled it and it seems to make some setups run a little faster, but please note that I have never used it.

 

[SpeedZealot369]

does low settings look decent though? I will be overclocking my GPU, apparantly it's pretty oc'able.

It should be fine, even low settings in Crysis were appealing, at least I thought so. A word about overclocking your laptop video chip, it will create more heat and probably shorten battery life, but if you do it let us know how it goes. Good luck!

I think so. Your specs seem comparable to my rig before I got a new video card (2.7ghz X2, 2GB ram, 7800GT), mainly I think a 7900GS is comparable to a 7800GT.

With those specs, I ran at 1280x800 with major details on low and the rest (game effects, shadows, physics, etc) on medium. It looked good enough I thought, and ran plenty well enough. In fact I had room to spare, so I tried upping some details, but the thing I wanted to set to medium most was Shader quality but the shader processing on a 7800GT is quite bad so it killed performance too much.

In my experience, the CCC config made it look better but performed worse. Again I tried CCC with my 4870, this time at level 5 (instead of 2 or whatever I had to use before), and again performance is down but it looks far better than stock high settings. I tried other configs, ones that were suppose to increase fps with no cost to image quality, but in the end I didn't find any to do anything significant over stock settings.

u may run into issues with that GPU. laptop GPU's are always gimped

i read this somehwere, there is alittle truth in it.
its better to run at a lower res with higher setting
then to run at a higher res with lower settings

for crysis sake, i ran at 1280x1024 with minimal settings,
then ran it at 1024x768 with mid-to high settings

yes it ran smoother,but also looked crappier

you might just want to wait for Crysis: Warhead

Apparently its the better game (more action, more intense, tweaked gameplay) not to mention the engine is tuned.

Rez is too high, bump it down to 1280x800.

eh no... it uses over 2GB of memory at the minute.

I have a dell lappy with the same res screen and video card. It is core duo processor 1.87 gig or some rot. with 2gig ram. I run Vista on it.
Nope, had to run it on low settings to play it, it looked like crap. I uninstalled the game and sold it to an ATer.
I did buy Cod4 and it will run that. The only problem with COD4 as I understand it getting good hit detection requires 125 fps. I don't get that unless I tweek the hell out of the configuration. With good eye candy I get about 45-65fps with it tweeked to play multiplayer I get between 65-125fps depending on the map etc. But I like COD4 single way more than Crysis, and if you are a sniper there are a few very nice mod servers for snipers that have unreal maps on Cod4.

Nope.

"Crytek commented on our article about the memory requirements of Crysis Warhead. Crytek meant: "Crysis Warhead will not require 4 GiByte RAM of course. The pre-release version displayed in Leipzig had specialized settings and was not optimized in any way. Because of this it needed a lot more memory than the final version will do. With the 2 GiByte that are recommended (1 GiByte minimal) by Crytek, the framerate performance of the final Crysis Warhead will be comparable to what you saw."
