Crytek claims new title "Crysis Warhead" will run HQ on €400 PC

jmke · 19th June 2008, 22:29

Optimizations made to Crytek's CryENGINE 2 will allow the upcoming sci-fi shooter follow up Crysis Warhead to run smoothly with high detail settings on cheap PCs, studio CEO Cevat Yerli has claimed.

Specifically, Yerli told German outlet PC Games that a 400 euro (roughly $620) PC could run the title, with high settings enabled, at 30 to 35 frames per second. Curiously, he did not detail the resolution at which this is possible.

So vague ... what's included in "€400" ? Vista ? Large enough hard drive so you still have some free space after installing Crysis ? DVD-rw ?
And as stated in the article, at what framerate. Even a midrange graka can get 30fps at 800x600@high settings if there's not too much activity.
