Released in March 2011, Crysis 2 was the highly-anticipated sequel to Crytek's triumphant predecessor. The CryEngine 3 game engine is able to deliver stunning visuals of New York's urban scenery as well as the intense conflict. Those stunning visuals and intense battles demand powerful PC hardware.
We used the game's ‘Very High' setting to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility. We are also utilising the DX11 and High Res Textures pack as well as the latest patch – 1.9.
With the High Res Textures and DX11 updates, Crysis 2 is a graphically-demanding title. The mid-range 1GB HD 7770 isn't able to muster playable frame rates at the Very High pre-set, or at any other combination of settings with a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
We had to drop the resolution to 1680 x 1050 before we could start obtaining playable frame rates that didn't nose-dive when met by intense action.
I really dont like AMD systems, their CPUS are always very unpowered even for the price.
its becouse you have too alot money , if you have less you will chose amd and you will be happy , in game fps diference is low. and about multytasking you not using all programs in same time to feel diference.
Honestly, i used Ebuyer, found a rig more or less the same for £250, granted it has a smaller HDD, less RAM and only a built in AMD GPU, for an extra £50-£100 you can sort out the GPU and the RAM, which still leaves it £150 to £200 less than this rig, bargain in my eyes :3
