Every PC gamer out there is waiting for Crysis. That's a fact! Also, every PC gamer out there wants to know exactly what the minimum specs for running the game are. That's a fact too. Do you want to know what else is a fact? The minimum specs for the game, posted by the official Crysis message board, via EA's Online store, that's what.

Leaving the already known facts about the game for after the break, here's what your minimum PC specs should look like in order to handle Crytek Studios' fancy first-person shooter, Crysis:

CPU: Intel P4 2.8Ghz or AMD equivalent
RAM: 1GB
Video Card: 6800GT (256mb) or ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb)
HDD Space: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible

Keep in mind that developers generally set the bar very low when it comes to minimum specs for their PC games, so it doesn't necessarily mean that your PC will run Crysis 100 percent well, if you've got the upper listed requirements. Right, now let's see a few already known details about Crytek's upcoming game:

First of all, everyone should know that Crysis is a next-generation PC title developed by the same guys behind Far Cry, and which, by the way, you can download right HERE for free. Yup, it's the full game, no catch, you just have to watch a lousy commercial for a few seconds and then you're good to play.

What's so amazing about Crysis is that it simply looks impeccable. Every gaming site out there describes it as "a stunning technical achievement", combining true next-gen visuals, fast-paced gameplay and a mind grabbing storyline, challenging the player to adapt to any situation, being faced with just one goal - survive!

The game is set to ship in a Special Edition package as well, containing three discs with a tremendous amount of extras. Here are the full inner findings below:
