I went out on a limb to Malaysia to get a graphics card that can run Crysis! And I can't get it to start!!!! A successful install, also installed Direct X 9.0 but when I try to launch the game, I get a black screen and then the computer crashes back to the desktop. Any help?

Hi,

When built my first PC in feb i had 2 x hd 3650 in Crossfire and that would only run Crysis on low Res on medium to low settings, one is gonna struggle big time.

Have you enabled the 3D acceleration in ATI Catalyst???

There's no option or setting in advanced view.

I got it working! Yay, I forgot to run setup.bat file when I noticed in the install directory "Run me 1st before playing"

I just wish they got rid of that rubbish "nVidia the way it's NOT ment to be played"
Or am I the only one in the world who like ATI more than nVidia?
