EDIT: Read around and people are having issues with the same sound card. Sigh.
I'm playing with an Audigy 2 on Vista perfectly fine.
For XP, try the youp-pax drivers. Much better than the creative drivers.

I visited lots of sites like shacknews, voodooextreme and others and posts of people that don't like it always go something like this:
1. I get only 10 fps with my Athlon/P4, Geforce 7600/6800, 1GB Ram
2. Doesn't look as good as videos
3. Gameplay sucks
If you complain about this or say it's just Far Cry you are insane.
Can't believe people are hyping HL2: Episode 2 which has nothing new whatsoever and still the same shitty corridor gameplay since 2004 and then complain about Crysis being too much like Far Cry. Yeah it's like Far Cry, because it has FREEDOM and some palm trees. It's still the best fps out this year and probably the next.

A gamespot review of the demo talked about going well beyond the boat. This was an old version of the demo though and maybe they cut it short.Originally posted by: fuzzybabybunny
Has anyone played around the the sandbox editor? There's actually quite a bit of level left after the end of the demo at the ice ship. In fact, there are two extra NKs and a second alien (called a scout). I wonder if there is a way to edit the map so that the game DOESN'T end at that point.

BTW I am sure a lot of us have old vid cards, we just don't go around poasting about it

That, or embarrassed itself... really, the performance is so spotty among so many setups.... its really weird. I thought Crysis would be the game to have me upgrade from my x2 3800+ and 7800gt, but it just doesn't seem worth it... more like a crap shot.

but *everyone* is still having real problems getting Crysis to look great AND run smooth
even the Ultra-sli guys can't run faster than a single ultra yet ... and i doubt they are getting smooth frame rates at 19x12 with 4xAA/16xAF "very high"

I'd care more about playing the game than the graphics. Is it really that important to have smooth running DX10, even though the 88's are first gen. It like expectin a 9800 pro to run Oblivion great. The hardware just doesn't exist yet...and SLI is a waste at it ever has been. By next year..even more spectacular game will possibly be out and the proper cards along with it. One note..it really looks like the 8800 320MB are having problems...Nvidia pulled the wool over peoples heads with limited VRam?
