Crysis Warhead System Requirements

Post by Apoptosis »

Crysis Warhead System Requirements have been revealed at the EA Store. As expected they are pretty much the same as the Crysis system requirements, the only difference is the required HDD space:

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz (3.2 GHz for Vista), Intel Core 2.0 GHz (2.2 GHz for Vista), AMD Athlon 2800+ (3200+ for Vista) or better
RAM: 1GB (1.5GB on Windows Vista)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or better
VRAM: 256MB of Graphics Memory
Storage: 15GB
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
ODD: DVD-ROM
OS: Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Microsoft Vista
DirectX: DX9.0c or DX10

This is good news as Crysis already kills most systems!

the install takes 15GB, I thought the 12GB for Crysis was nuts...

I ordered a measly 2GB RAM kit for the next build along with a 9600GT. Think it'll be enough? Plus, I thought you can't rely too much on system requirements cus sometimes games will still run slow even if your system is similar to the system requirements.

What's Crysis Warhead anyways? Is it an expansion?
Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.2Ghz @ 1.16V (CPU-Z + LinX)
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H F14 BIOS
ASUS GTX 460 768MB @ 800/1950
Kingston HyperX DDR3 8GB @ DDR-1333
Corsair AX750
Crucial M4 128GB
Western Digital Black 1TB
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ EVO

It's a standalone expansion. It tells the story of another character from Crysis, though it is the same time setting.

Crysis warhead is to Crysis as
Blueshift is to Half-life.

70mhz shouldn't really make it unplayable.

Back in the day I could run starcraft on my 75mhz machine when SC required 90mhz.
