EA's Crysis Warhead PC can, uh, play Crysis

By Nilay Patel

Looks like EA's about to cash in on all that "can it run Crysis" chatter — Crysis Warhead will be accompanied by the launch of a $699 Ultra-built gaming tower that should manage a consistent 30fps. Crytek has been testing on the so-called "Warhead PC" since early on the dev process, tweaking the engine to make sure the game ran well on the 2.66GHz E7300 Core 2 Duo, 512MB GeForce 9800GT and 2GB of RAM– the rule was "if it sucks on this, the whole thing sucks" — and it apparently cranks out consistently solid framerates at high quality settings. No word on an exact release date, but for $699 it's not a bad deal — and hey, it plays Crysis.
