Hey guys, i've been wanting Far Cry 2 for a while, but when I saw the minimum specs for the processor being an AMD 3500+ (compared to my 3400+) is what scares me. I blow every spec out of the water on recommended though, just not the processor. Will I be able to run FC2 at 1680x1050 on med-high with good FPS? I mean, i've played Crysis and Warhead, the giant maps killed me. Then thinking about 2 freaking miles of open world... Any thoughts?
 
Well, im certain you'll be able to run it, it just wont be an enjoyable experience.

If you like the feeling of trudging through mud, then id say go for it.
 
Sure thing, i mean, i wish i could tell you "it would work great" but in order to truly appreciate and play it you'd have to be running some high settings, and with Crysis and Farcry2, those are some high demands on a computer, even for some of the newests machines on the market.

And I too run a single core, and I feel your pain. It just looks sooo good :(
 
Yeah, I gotta get my upgrade done before the games kill me. 4 hours of playing Gears of War is major lag from that point on. Trying destroying a Brumak with 22 FPS- ARGH!!! Gonna get myself a Triple-core ^.^ See how Crysis likes that! lol.
 
I think youll be able to run it, probably with decent details (you say the rest of your PC meets the spec?) you may have to drop resolution, or sacrifice on certain graphical details though.
 
Well, the fact that you can actually play Crysis should mean you can play Far Cry 2. I read somewhere that the Dunia engine is less demanding of your hardware than the one Crysis uses.

You'll be able to play it, not well. Probably around 1024x768 with med detail.

~Gooda~

Yeah, but I can't stand anything under 1680x1050 Res. I run Crysis Warhead at 1680x1050, all Enthusiest with Shaders Shadows and Object quality on med. I get 15-38 fps. Depending on the area
 
I cant run crysis with a single core on vista :( I also have an 8800GT and 2gig of gaming ram and no luck. I also have an AMD Sempron 3400+
 
The specs are basically the same as Crysis...if you can run that than you can run Far Cry 2
