An nVidia 7300 GT Agp. I know it is a low end card but can it run at least medium at a low resolution?
Also, I have an ATi X800 right now and when I am playing all my controls would lock up except mouse, and I would keep moving the direction I was moving and it goes on for a second or two. Why?
No, the game is more demanding that you think. If you want to have decent framerates on that card, just play on low. I would wait until Crysis warhead in Fall comes out and see if the new optimization Crytek promised works.
Will I at least get shadows? My X800 doesn't have shadows or reflections, I don't want to run it all out medium, just reflections, shadows, and refraction. That's it.
An X800 should outpreform the 7300.
Overclock. Go for the 8800 :P
Yeah a 7300 can run at the settings you want and get like 5 fps maybe.
Too bad you're on AGP though; Newegg had an 8800 GS going for 65 dollars and those play 1024x768 all high very well...
Wow, people still use AGP?
sadly Im still one of them :-\ Never buy a ati card by Visiontek btw, my hd2400 pro factory OC can suck balls at times, but I got it for 25 bucks new and works decently.Quote:

Installing Ubuntu right now, I'm sick of windows spewing mindless gallons of dhiarea out of every socket and jack there is.
Crysis works awsome with a radeon x1950 pro. Its an AGP card and i can run crysis on medium at 25-30 fps but the frames drop bad when you fight a whole bunch on guys. The card costs like 300 dollors but it can run most games like a charm.
You can probably get that card for 60 bucks now.

the hell
my $600 card gets ~11FPS on low with a few settings on ultra high.
Around 2 FPS in fights
am I doing something wrong
What, were you expecting it to run well on a 7800 GTX? (according to your specs)
You're stuck with a mix of medium and low...
Maybe you need to update your graphic drivers.Quote:

Similar to an 8800GT, which is decent. You won't be running very high preset over 1280x1024 though.
My 8800GT defaults to medium, but gives me 70+ fps with all high settings.
