    Yeah, at low settings, perhaps even medium, as long as you didn't use a high resolution.

    depends on resolution... I think the 7950 would be way better than a 8600 though...

    is "yeah it would be" about the 8600 running Crysis at a decent framerate,the 7950 being better than the 8600,or both?

    btw, you could ask that here:http://incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=22

    I am also a member there and I bet people can help you out with things about Crysis more than anyone else.

    yeah, possibly medium if you stick with a low resolution. It'll suck a bit if you turn the resolution up high though.

    well this is in a laptop right? If it is, then the overclocking is gone... You would need a aftermarket cooler, which you cant change in a laptop.
