Crysis Warhead $699 PC unveiled

The big problem with Crysis in the eyes of publisher Electronic Arts is that a lot of people weren't confident their PCs could handle the game. Thankfully, EA has come up with a solution thanks to a partnership with Nvidia, Crytek and UltraPC and will be shipping a Crysis: Warhead branded machine later this year.

The Crysis Warhead PC may not look like much, but should be able to handle the game perfectly.

The machine, which is priced at $699 in the US, is ready for pre-order now and will ship on the same day as the game - September 16 according to BigDownload.

The PC is similar to the machine which Crytek originally specced for playing Crysis, except that this one has been used as a PC benchmark through all stages of development for Crysis Warhead.

Currently the specs for the PC include an Intel Core 2 Duo e7300 processor running at 2.66GHz along with an Nvidia 9800GT based video card (with no mention of a specific brand) and 2GB of RAM. The development team at Crytek claims that this hardware should run the game on high detail without ever dipping below 30 frames per second.
