Crysis on an iMac 20" HD 2400 XT (bootcamp)

-----|Thanks Guys! 10k+ views!|-----

This is the Crysis Single Player Demo on the lowest-end iMac available as of mid 2007. This mac has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400XT with 128MB DDR3 800MHz VRAM. This video speaks horribly of this card (a high end mainstream card, and a low end gaming card) because I played in vista with only 1GB of RAM.

All the specs are listed in the video, but a few things I missed:
1. Audio is integrated
2. Nothing has been overclocked
3. 254Mb shared VRAM
4. Processor is a T7300
5. 800MHz FSB

To see this same computer with 3GB RAM run this game demo, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwfAkkkI2P0

To see this computer take on the entire game, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GdACY4O4tY

catalyst 8.9 or something... I can't remember

@marfg12345 you won't get to much lagg but it won't be great ethier it takes at leas a 48X0 or a 57X0 serie card to play on high with acceptable fps

@marfg12345 Oh I see what you mean. There is a hack to get very high in XP. It does effect shaders and shadows, but but only makes them almost very high. (e.g. The sun still won't be as large as very high, shadows are slightly less crisp)

[marfg12345]

@GeekyNerd27 yea i know, im stuck with dx9, but i saw a xp hack, enables very high settings, but it doesn't enable very high shaders and very high shadows everything else is unlocked:=

@marfg12345 To answer your question:

Because you are using Windows XP, no Very High options in Crysis will not be available.

Crysis does not currently support DX11 anyway, however.

Now I'm not sure what you mean by "Will the rest of the settings be available?"

[marfg12345]

@GeekyNerd27 i just ask you if the very high options will be available, i know that directx 11 has something to do with shaders and shadows, they will lock at high, i know that, but will the rest of the settings be available like: textures, physics, motion blur, particles quality??? please reply!

[GeekyNerd27]

@marfg12345 If you're just gonna do high, xp and the 5670 will do very well. I don't think you'll get much lag.

The highest version of DirectX XP supports is DirectX 9. Personally, I recommend upgrading to win7; there's just quite a number of advantages to it.

For Crysis, there are workarounds and hacks that will get you the dx10 effects in dx9 crysis---almost. A google for "Crysis dx9 very high hack" should get you there.

[marfg12345]

@GeekyNerd27 hmmm, well, i don't intend to play on ultra high, i just wan't to play on high, will i lag with HD5670 1GB GDDR5???? ON HIGH? and if xp does not support dx11 that means i won't be able to play on very high??? please reply, i apreciate it! i subed btw

[GeekyNerd27]

@marfg12345 Ahhh... A 5000 series. Those are amazing. Definitely get the 5670. But it's kinda pointless without windows 7, because of directx 11. Games like DiRT2 and Crysis 2 support dx11, which are amazing graphics.

I'm running an HD3870 512mb! And that's decent. It will almost max crysis, it supports up to dx 10.1, so I'm pretty happy with it. Plus, I bough it for only $80 from a friend. :) they go for about $100 now.
