Why do people say that Crysis is impossible to run?

[skank]

I meant as in a high resolution, HD was a bad choice of words. 1280x1024 is a low resolution nowadays, it's just a step above 800x600, especially for a game like Crysis, running it on that resolution is no feat.

Actually I'd say that it is just a step above 1024x768, so two steps above 800x600 in classic resolution terms, but I guess that's splitting hairs. :p

You're absolutely right, I can't believe I forgot there was a 1024 x 768!!!!!

Yes...Crysis is owned now. Took 2 full generations of GPU to catch up to the software. But my old 8800 GTX is still pretty powerful considering it's over 2 years old and ran Crysis at 1280*1024 high settings in dx9 mode with moderate gaming experience. I paid 750 + tax CAD on this thing 2 years ago so maybe that was expected after all...
