Crysis Warhead Coming In September
- Thread starter PV5150
- Start date
.
The Beta version was available to play at i34 last weekend.
I gave it a quick run.
I will be getting this title.
It has changed a bit from the original but from the limited amount you could see i think it has been a positive change.
I also heard that it is meant to have a more reasonable min system requirement now. Though we probably wont know for sure for a while.

Yeh i did the requirements test on the EA site and it said i exceded the minimum level. Im an avid xbox 360 player and i dont wana buy a game if im not going to be too impressed with the graphics and gameplay.
I was thinking of maybe changing to a Core 2 Quad Q6600 or something to similar plus maybe another 2GB of RAM......

Yeh i thought overclocking might be the way to go, id have to spend over £100 for a Q6600.
Is it going to make a massive difference going from a GeForce 9600gt to a 4870? The 4870s iv seen cost around £180 (I apologise if im confusing people with pounds!). I just figured the money would be better spent on a cpu than on a new gpu.....
I reckon a 4870 will massively outperform the 9600GT, and crysis is a very GPU intensive game. However that cpu is pretty underpowered for crysis as well. Perhaps you should overclock the hell out of a cheaper dual core instead of the q6600. Ultimately its up to you because both will improve the gameplay.
If you overclock anything, try boosting that GPU, as it overclocks really well.
In terms of CPU bottlenecking, mine showed massive improvement from 3.2GHz to 4.0GHz so whatever you do there will be a noticeable difference
