What machine will run Crysis flawlessly?

Like the topic says. Is there a machine that can be put together to run Crysis on very high settings and achieve a true 100FPS or more.

I read somewhere that Crysis is too graphic intense for even the Xbox 360 and PS3...

So this means those consoles can't fully run the game at 30FPS (which is what most XBox 360 games run at anyway)?

There has to be a rig that can run this game flawlessly. I'm saying 100FPS not because I'm greedy, but because I'm curious. Is it possible? Will it be possible?

it really depends on what resolution you're looking at running.

I would assume that the gameplay footage we've been seeing from Crytek where everything runs smoothly and has the gas turned on is a quad core cpu + SLI or even quad SLI.

I mean there's no way to really tell based off of the demo...it seems to totally own the best rigs we have around the community.

what 4 gpu's would run this game if you had quad sli?
if you had only two gpu's woudl it be the 8800 768mb one?
but yeah definitely Quad Core and probably that new DDR3 ram? 4gigs?

i know that they were running quad 7900's a while ago at one of the game conventions showing off Crysis. It was over a year ago tho and Quad SLI never really took off with consumers for obvious $$ reasons

When Alan Wake was demoed over a year ago (at E3..?) it was running a C2Q @ 3.73GHz along with what could only have been an engineering sample of the 8800 before anyone even knew what the hell that was.

so you can bet your nuggets that any Crysis video demo is:

1) running on next generation hardware, certainly a workstation solution that typically have more than 1GB of graphics memory (yes, they exist, and no, you probably can't buy one)

2)is a custom made movie that is rendered as fast as the machine can make it, then assembled frame by frame into a prerendered movie (like they made Final Fantasy. it doesnt matter it took 14 months to render it, it still plays in 2 hours)

Cool, thanks for the replies guys.

Pretty interesting indeed.

So far, only hunt3r can run this game on very high settings and achieving beyond 60fps. Nice

Have u seen the 3d mark world record holders?

they could get it to do that no prob prolly

It runs very well on my machine without stuttering although I have not run fraps while playing ..... I will if you want as a point of reference.

FYI: the world record holders for 3dmark run cascade / LN2 / Dry Ice, in other words they do not / cannot play games on their rigs.
