NO. medium settings at 1024x768 is playable until after the core level then its all low for the snow and carrier levels. with a good core2 duo you could probably put most of the settings on high at 1024x768. regardless of what people "think" Crysis is very cpu demanding below 1280x1024.Originally posted by: Piuc2020

My HD 2600XT can run Crysis on Medium @ 1280x720 with 20-35FPS.... you are obviously biased against anything below your 8800/HD 3800/whatever you have in performance.Originally posted by: error8

for me 8600gt is perfectly fine. all my games aren't very demanding. Lots of the reviews at newegg say they can play Crysis with this card with 25-27fps.
Maybe they can play Crysis with it on low settings, using 800X600 resolution.
No I'm not biased, but I really don't think you are having so many frames per second with your card in Crysis. I do own a 8800 GT though, but it always struggled in Crysis on medium, high or whatever. It never played smooth so how could a 2600XT with 256 mb on 128 bits can do the trick?
Your doubts are well-founded but wrong nevertheless. A 8600GT can play Crysis fine at 1024x768 high settings or crank it up to 1280x1024 on medium settings, sure this is averaging around 20-25FPS but Crysis is completely playable at these settings.
I had a 8600gts. It's a little faster than 8600gt. Crysis medium was all that it could muster @ 1440x900. High settings was out of the question unless 800x600. 1024 if you like 15fps average and I was running a core 2 duo @ 3.05ghz.
Crysis is video card limited not CPU limited.

IT IS CPU LIMITED AT 1280X1024 OR BELOW. your own link shows that a fast core2 cpu will nearly DOUBLE the framerate over an AMD cpu at 1024x768. below 1280 with my comp I would get a bigger increase in fps by going with a fast core2 cpu than going with a faster card and thats a fact. I used an 8800gt for two weeks and it only made 5 fps difference(from 31 to 36fps) at 1024 over my 8600gt.
That's on a 8800gtx not a 8600gt.
Maybe 3 year old game like Half Life 2 or BF2 on a 8600gt.
Crysis and all modern games are video card limited especially on a 8600gt. Your 8600gt can't even get 30fps @ 1280x1024 with E8400 @ medium. Argue all you like but in the end you have no idea what you are talking about.
