Can You RUN It?

it will also give new hardware recommendations and how close you are to the recommended specs

But Crysis and Crysis Wars are supposed to be alot different performance-wise..... It only has Crysis on the list
Edit: Well, anyways - I get a pass in the minimums, but I'm short of halfway for Recommended

From what i can tell so far. Just take not of your settings levels in COD4 (Low, medium, high)and apply them to Wars then deduct 20FPS. That seems be how it's working for me.

Been hitting 50FPS this evening @ 1680x1050.

i think that it only has the original because the requirements are the same except for Vista is not required for highest.

Been getting 10-25 FPS at lowest settings, screen resolution doesn't seem to impact it so it's at 1440x900, but on every map change my sound blows out and I have to restart......... big ouch, lol

[Gimmie2]

that kinda stinks, try manually setting everything to lowest (under the advanced tab in system settings) and if that helps your FPS, then slowly up your antialiasing to around 8x or 8xQ (makes it like a kinda blocky high detail mode)

i was debating on getting it.. i passed the minimum and failed the recommended.. not so sure about it now...

you should -- I can play just fine and I'm just passed recommended - I play with 1440x900 on the optimal settings, and it looks decent enough and it's playable..... The fun level is wayy up there though.
