Yes, run by definition means the app doesn't say "No hardware TnL detected"
Also I'm guessing the 4200 will run Crysis quite nicely for an IGP, Low @ 800x600 is playable.

6800GT ~ 7600GT ~ 8500GT.
The back of Crysis Maximum Edition (in my hand) says the 7300-series, 8400GS, & 8500GT are below spec.
You can get it running with a 7300GT (I've tested), a 8500GT (runs OK at low settings), or a 8400GS.
So even though they are below spec they will run it.

You will get playable frames at the lowest settings/res's, however don't expect it to run high, or even medium.

Shakespeare's famous quote "To be, Or Not to be, that is the question" .......

Has now Officially be replaced with... "will it play Crysis?, THAT is the question!"

The only thing I got in return from Crysis was a bill from newegg telling me I just spent $260 on graphics cards that can't handle the damn game on MAX :fou: But besides my bitching, I found Crysis to be a compelling FPS with multiple ways of approaching an area tactically. Sure, the storyline could use some work, and the gameplay felt like it ended before it started BUT.. overall, not too shabby :)
 


I totally agree, but MW2 campaign is outstanding IMO, sooo much fun! I just hate that damn IW.Net multiplayer.

It seems alot of people buy a system based on Crysis, they want a system that can run it on MAX, and unless their rich, their going to be very dissapointed.
