Crysis 2

[ftwcookies]

My pc CAN run Crysis 2 but it is quite laggy, any way to make it less laggy and more playable?

pc specs:
Intel core i3 processer 3.06ghz
Intel media accelerator HD
3GB RAM
Windows home premium

If it is not a laptop, buy graph. card

You are playing the Demo right?I just say that the Demo is a console extract and that the PC game will may be more demanding,so upgrading graphics card is vital.You cant play Crysis at its great graphics with this card.

Guys these are the original system requirements for Crysis 2 directly posted from EA Games:

* A Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 processor clocked at 2GHz
* 2GB of RAM
* A GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 3850 with 512MB of video memory
* 9GB of hard-drive space
* DirectX 9.0c-compatible audio
* And, of course, a keyboard and mouse (Xbox 360 controllers will also be supported on Windows).

It seems to that this system specs will run Crysis 2 smoothly on low-medium, but take low, cause on medium it may lag a little

System requirments are not always persice.Sometimes they exist for marketing reasons.My friend has an Ati 3650 which is lower than the requirments and takes 30 fps on ultra high on 1280x1024.

Slow gfx card

Don't listen to the system requirements, you will be surprised of you PC performance,
for example:
The game Left 4 Dead.
I've played it on my old PC, system spec

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (1.81GHz)
ram 1 gb
GPU nvidia geforce 6200 128mb

Here in game debate i putted the spec and:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ X (2) -140% red cross
GeForce 6200 X (1) -617% red cross
1GB √ (3) - a grey tick

I ran the game on minimum resolution, but i set the Shader model Ultra high, Texture high and the effects on high. NO LAG haha

Thats what I am talking about.System requirments only lure you in buying new hardware.Its a marketing trick.Especially for selling intel's new generation processors.To my opinion buying a core-i5 or core-i7 now is a waste of money FOR GAMING. You only need a fast video card.Core-i5 is just Core 2 Duo/Core 2 quad renamed.The increase in performance doesnt worth the money.I've got core 2 duo e8400@3/6Ghz and 9600gt at stock clocks.A friend of mine has Core-i7 920@ 2.8Ghz and AMD 5770.On the new PCMARK 07 I get 2350 where my friend gets 2610.He is better but also has a better graphics card.Which means the difference between the two CPUs is very small.Also dont listen all this bull ..it about bottleneck.That doesnt mean you can have 6990 with a Pentium 4 but a Core 2Duo/quad AMD x4 can get the most cards.My advice is to have a stable CPU with good overclocking abilities and just upgrade a card every 2-3 years.
