i'm looking for a laptop that would be able to support the new cryengine

any sugestions that don't exceed 2500€?

for my desktop comp i'm all set

 

[Level]

with 8800GTS game is playable at normal settings...always more than 30fps...in spite of You have 8800 ULTRA...You still have average 17fps...@ Ultra settings...it sucks

 

[Monica]

Amazing, my iMac has more that nrml needs ^_^

 

[Legion]

A bit late perhaps as it's been posted already

But with an e6600 (core2duo), 2gig, 8800gts 640meg, vista u can run it at highest settings without any AA at 800x600 and get 35-40 fps

Ie u need godly comp to run it at highest settings in high resolution

How much would this game lag when new 3D engine is implented ?
i really hope alot more problem will raise

Lag is problems with communication between server and client. The 3D engine is pure client side, and it requires a lot of power from your computer to render all that neat graphics. But it doesn't affect the amount of lag.

oh damn then it wouldn't be any problem bahhhhhhhhhh i want it to be problem. i hope it gone be some to.
But when will the lag be fixed i mean this has been a big issue for a long long time if there is alittle lag thats no problem but when it takes 4-5 minutes until you get loot it is pretty ******

Get a quadcore, 4 gig ram, vista 64, 8800 ultra or better when they arrive in sli mode. then get a good new cooler for the cpu and overclock it and then get new fans for your case and your gfx cards and overclock those too

Hmm if my GF would buy such a PC I'd kick her outta the house and keep the PC

That PC is my relationship tbh.

Getting some nice cooling for it.. I here those cards run pretty hot

Are you mad?!?! A girlfriend with same interest would be £$%ing priceless!

Some comments

Nforce590i is OLD and also do not get an amd cpu, get a newer or the one new nforce that is comming soon instead, also get an intel core2 duo atleast instead of the amd, the crysis engine is optimized for nvidia and intel, not amd and ati. Also do not get an overclocked 8800gt, they are all the same to 99% and you can easily just overclock urself

Here the system specs for crysis

Minimum System Requirements
Processor 2.8 GHz or faster (XP) or 3.2 GHz or faster (Vista)

AMD Athlon 2800+ (3200+ for Vista) or faster.

Hmm...this is odd...I am running a dualcore AMD Athlon 4800+ which is pretty new so is nice, and vista too, so it seems to be well within specs BUT-At the top it says 3.2GHz minimum? Apparently mine is only running at 2.5GHz but I know that it cant be...My six year old pc runs at 2.0 GHz :/ I know that there is a difference in measuring GHz for AMD and Intel but will my 4800+ dual core cut it? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

You should be OK. The 3.2Ghz is for non-core (P4) servers:

I *am* on a budget m8. I'm also an nvidiot and an AMD fan so I'll never choose Intel heh.. will just always wait for AMD to release a better technology.

Some people may have unlimited funds to blow on a pc but I dont and the PC I chose meet my ideal system requirements, with my regular choice of manufacturers and my budget

very similar to my setup but I have 1 8800 GTX and desperalty trying to justify a second lol

now water cool it all and OC the CPU&GPUs you know you want too you can even add some pink girlie colour to the water

What sort of chix0r would I be if I didn't?

just dont add that glistening glittter stuff, not good for heat disipation

hehe well mine didnt cost that much and it's a core2duo intel But for amd releasing a better product? lol it wont happen for some time amd is way behind on both gfx cards and cpu's at the moment

 

[Ronin84]

My sys:
Mobo: Asus P5N32-E Nvidia 680I SLI
Proc: Intel core 2 Quad 6600 2.4ghtz w/ 8mb of cash
Video: Nvidia 8600 w/ 512mb onboard ram(single card)
Ram:2gb run of the mill no-name chips running at 800mhtz
Nothing is overclocked.(at least by me)
I will be updating my PSU soon so I can add another video card. I ran the crysis demo just fine on normal settings. My computer didn't like it much though.

hehe well mine didnt cost that much and it's a core2duo intel But for amd releasing a better product? lol it wont happen for some time amd is way behind on both gfx cards and cpu's at the moment

AMD and Intel are vary close to speeds and graphics. While AMD's are faster for fewer procs, Intel is only .5gb slower with twice the cash. AMD is more unstable with heavy graphics than Intel is. Don't get me wrong its still close and AMD is getting better.

Their are both chip sets for AMD and Intel only its a little harder to find and will cost more. I only got an Intel because a quad core was actually cheaper than AMD for realitivly the same preformance. Its all about what your looking for. If you have a buget you will have to sacrifice something you want for a slightly lesser version. Don't get me started on the Nvidia 8800 series. You might as well get and 8600 for less than half the price and the same onboard ram.

Lag wouldn't be a problem now if people would just stop changing clothes
