This is a runthrough of the mission "Call me Ishmael." This is Part 1 of 3.
This is not a speed run, nor is it a show of skill. It is simply a demonstration of this mission in HD (720P).
Settings: 1280x720, All settings High (DX9), no AA/AF
System specs:
E6600 Core 2 Duo @ 3.2Ghz
EVGA 680i SLI motherboard
EVGA 9800 GTX+
2 GB Corsair XMS2 PC 6400 RAM
500 GB Western Digital Caviar SATA HDD (game drive)
640 GB Western Digital Blue SATA HDD (media and recording drive)
700-watt OCZ GameXStream PSU
Windows XP MCE 2k5
This was recorded using FRAPS. The frame rate was limited to 30FPS to reduce file size and improve fluidity of the movie. I chose not to use Anti-Aliasing or Aniostropic Filtering in order to make performance as fluid as possible. I will be the first to admit that the video isn't perfect, but I think the end product came out pretty good.
*IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOVIE OF CRYSIS @ 720P, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION!!!*
Here's a tip for anyone that has a similar or even better system than what I have and wants to record video of their games: If you have only 1 Hard Drive and you intend on recording video of Crysis @ 1280x720, you won't be able to do it acceptably. The computer will constantly lag about every 5-10 seconds. This is due to the Hard Drive being accessed for more level and game data.
In order to achieve a fluid recording experience, you MUST get a secondary Hard Drive devoted to recording. What this does is it allows the processor/GPU the ability to access your main Hard Drive while simultaneously writing the video to your secondary Hard Drive. Thus, you get a lag free, fluid video. I don't recommend doing any of this unless you have a fairly beefy system though.
man my PC is more speed in graphics is NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS 512 MB

@kablekevin Other specs? That video card is pretty weak compared to a 9800 GTX+
