Well just got the demo about 30 mins ago and finished it already. Kinda annoying seeing as its 1.8gb just for a demo.

Still, was as good as i expected and definitely worth 99usd for the pre order.

One thing that got me was it set everything to medium gfx wise.

Most demanding game ever, i have a 3G core duo 4 g or ram and a 8800 GTS 320 and its medium! what do they want from me?

anyhoo was bored cause demo is so short.

anyone who's been living under a rock and has no idea what im talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKgpu8BpcqM

yup, put my pre-order in for the collectors edition ages ago, this is the sole reason for me building my new pc :D

in the meantime, I picked up Team Fortress 2 last week, bloody awesome game that plays on low spec pc's without a problem (i'm talking AGP 6800 Ultra grade lol).

Man i had to build a new computer for Oblivion, then I did it again recently for Bio Shock... This is taking all the fun out of the games... I Don't have a high def monitor, so it's hardly worth it!

This coming out on Xbox? :D

If you can run bio shock on high you should be able to get pretty close in crysis. A lot of the stuff in crysis is DX10 dependant (same as bio shock i belive), so until they refine the drivers to match the lower spec hardware (8800gts style) you'll need the gtx's and the like.

But I agree, the need for high end hardware hurts the hip pocket these days.

I heard it had to have a DX10 card to run.

xbox!! bah apox on those evil machines. Ill only ever have a wii a ps3 and a PC thanks very much :D

You would need a crazy rig to run in high def anyway. I manged the native of 1680x1050 ok with medium settings. Im assuming that the full version will work some of the bugs out too.

As mentioned if u can run bioshock on high then crysis should be fine.

Long live bf2 hehe.

both my room mates have pretty heavy duty rigs, both with 8800GTX Ultra's on board, they are getting reasonable performance at the native resolution (1680x1050), but the demo does have a lot of error checking and code that isn't refined. The demo was released as a beta anyway so its to be expected. I tried to run it on my old rig and it booted and played but got the yellow sprites everywhere lol.

i downloaded the demo and was pretty disapointed to be honest . dont think i will be shelling out for the full version .

will just stick to battle field 2 and sprintcars to knoxville for now.

should still work on xp, basically it will run under directx 9 but will have all the dx10 functionality turned off. I ran it on my machine with xp pro and dx9, one roommate has xp pro/dx9, the other vista/dx10.

Do you need Vista for this, as DX10 only works on Vista right ?

I'm not upgrading to Vista just to play a game though :D

i see no better reason...

As for the shiny factor I tended to go that way in the past turning down gfx in favour of speed etc. Thing is i really enjoyed farcry and it just happend to look good too. Same with Crysis me thinks. plus now i can afford to good tech not teh hand me downs i used to run.

Isnt it great they are releasing some good games these days.... portal was sweet

8800 GTX kicks ass compared to a GTS and is well worth the extra few hundred bucks. so far every game out on the market (and yes, I've got and tried them all - bioshock, world in conflict, quake wars etc.) runs perfectly smooth in 1920x1440 with high or very high settings. Still to check out Crysis as it seems absolutely stunning in regards to graphical and physical details, however I do not want a demo and will wait until a scene release. But I'm sure a fairly decent setup with a GTX will run it smoothly on high settings unless the software itself is poorly developed.

I agree to some extent, there are few variables that are going to make it interesting, some of my mates are running sli gtx's and crossfires, they are saying they can get crysis on high but not very high, says that it will play but as soon as things start to get heavy (lots of gun fights) the computer slows RIGHT down (talking below 20 FPS). But it IS a Beta Demo so the code won't be perfected and there will be a lot of error catching code in there to slow things down.

That said there is also some news doing the rounds that DX10.1 will not be compatible with the current set of GTX cards (this I find hard to belive as I can't see the current crop of 8800's changing the actual PCB design to much.

I think a lot of this is down to drivers and software, once DX10 is fully fledged I rekon it will be sweet as, most 8800 gts's (mainly 640mb versions) will be able to run crysis on high, and if all your looking for is liek a 22" resolution of 1680 by 1050 you should be sweet. Anything bigger and ur gonna want the gtx for sure though.

As they did with Far Cry, Crytek have built a game that on the highest settings will only run well on the next generation of GPUs. They did the same with Far Cry :)

It means the game lasts more than just the current "generation" of games, and it's also a challenge to video card manu's to make GFX cards to run it well.

We'll see Crysis as a benchmark game for over 12 months, nothing pushes your system like this game ;)

Graphics, well they are unreal! Much better than WIC (and WIC is really nice!!)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
