Crytek CEO says Crysis: Warhead to run on high settings with a 400 Euro PC

The CEO and President of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, revealed that Crysis: Warhead will be quite playable on a € 400 (around US$ 621) PC, even on high settings. Now, by playable, we mean 30 frames per second…not exactly the best frame rate for power PC games, but far better than we were expecting.

Cevat Yerli, the CEO and President of Crytek, gave out a very interesting factoid regarding the upcoming sequel to Crysis called Crysis: Warhead.

According to him, because of the new optimizations made to the game engine, the game can run at 30 to 35 frames per second with high graphics settings on a € 400 (around US$ 620) computer.

He pointed out that they wanted to steer clear of the image that Crysis: Warhead was a game that only gamers with high-end PCs could enjoy. A sentiment, we might add, that a number of gamers had with the original Crysis.

Interestingly enough, Yerli also noted that the changes they’ve made to the engine can also be applied to Crysis. A fact that users with less than optimal specs may want to look into if the developers decide to release a patch. It begs the question though: will the graphics of the game suffer because of these optimizations? We’ll just have to wait and see.
