Globe & Mail reporter tries running the resource ravenous Crysis: Warhead on a $6,000 Dell XPS 730 H2C desktop and a $4,500 Alienware Area-51 m17x laptop, and gets mixed results.
"...like its precursor, Warhead is an eye-poppingly pretty game-assuming your PC can bend to the will of its highest graphical settings. My custom built computer isn't exactly a gaming slouch, but it can't touch this game on anything but medium settings and resolutions.
However, as luck would have it I happen to have a couple of high-end gaming rigs on loan at the moment: Alienware's $4,500 Area-51 m17x laptop and Dell's $6,000 XPS 730 H2C desktop. Both machines are advertised as representing the very pinnacle of gaming hardware in their particular categories. If they couldn't hack Warhead, then it seems unlikely any machine could."

Really hoping that tease from their latest tech demo turns out to be a new game or maybe remaster/remake of the first game. The first and warhead are still my favorite in the series
I can’t even get Warhead to boot up on windows 10. None of the fixes I found online helped, at best it hangs at the loading screen for the first level
Crysis and Crysis: Warhead are often described as some of the best first-person shooters of modern-day. Contrary to the next parts of the series, these two titles offered really large environments in which players could cause havok and approach their objectives via different routes. And we are happy to report that both of these games are now available on GOG, completely DRM-free.
Ryan and Jack bring you another five facts on Pirate Punishments.
I have a x2 5200 2 gigs of ram and a 9800GT which cost me about $450 to build and I play the game on high settings just fine. Crysis wars can be played for free this weekend online so try it out yourself to see how well it runs rather than take this guy serious and wait 3 years to play it.
This guy is a fraud. My PC run Warhead just fine, 45 FPS on gamer settings.
I have the following:
q6600 2.4 running at 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr2
ati 4870 512mb
asus p5e mother board
i can run the game at 1920 x 1200 on a mix of enthusiast & gamer settings (mostly enthusiast) i get around 40 fps.
with your Radeons. i am running it on 1920x1200 on a GTX 280 and its on enthusiast and is on 4xAA and plays well.
My PC:
AMD Phenom™ 9950 Black Edition @ 2.6GHz
4GB (2×2GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400
512MB BFG Tech 9800GTX+ OC
It cost me £963.37/$1,706.89 to build, it can run Crysis on High settings and Crysis Warhead on a mix of High/Very High. You don't need a $6000 machine to run either game. And is anyone stupid enough to spend $4500 on a laptop in an attempt to get one to run either game?
