Those who have already given the Crysis single-player demo a try have not only been impressed by the visual effects but also the incredibly stress it put on their hardware.

Even a high-end system with the new 3 GHz Intel Core 2 QX9650 (Yorkfield) and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB graphics card can hardly hit the minimum frame rate of 30 fps at 1600 x 1200, and that's without anti-aliasing enabled.

In a recent GameSpot interview, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli mentioned that the 64-bit version of Crysis would be better than the 32-bit version. Here's a direct quote : "...64-bit in general runs better than 32-bit. In fact I would recommend gamers run 64-bit only under very high configurations. We ship both 32- and 64-bit out of box."

Before you go rushing off to buy the 64-bit version of Windows Vista though, take a look at what we found when we benchmarked the 64-bit Crysis and compared it to the performance of the 32-bit Crysis.
