Crysis 2 minimum PC requirements

2 February 2011

The Crytek crew have posted the minimum PC requirements for Crysis 2 on their Deutsch Crysis 2 Facebook fan page. Luckily, I’m fluent in system requirements in over 15 languages.

Crysis 2 minimum PC system requirements

Internet connection required for activation.

OS: XP/Vista/Windows 7

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 x2 2Ghz or better

2 GB RAM

HDD: 9 GB

DVD ROM: 8x

GPU: NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB Ram or better

Audio DirectX 9.0c compatible

Keyboard, mouse, or Microsoft Xbox 360 controller for Windows

That all seems entirely reasonable. From memory, those specs seem to be what would have been considered a fairly powerful gaming system back when Crysis 1 launched, circa March 2008. How far we have come.

Of course, it remains to be seen how bland the game will look running on this minimum specification – the machine killing spectre of Crysis 1 looms over this sequel.

The recommended PC system requirements haven’t been revealed; perhaps because Crytek doesn’t want to give everyone a heart attack before the game launches?

Crysis 2 is scheduled to launch on 25 March 2011.
