hey, i have a hard time playing far cry. it gets pretty good framerates, but whenever there is combat, or an explosion, it lags. i have the recommended sys requirements:

Authentic AMD 2800+
Geforce Fx 5900 XT
512 DDR ram
Windows XP home

i think i shuld be playing far cry fine. i have some on high and some on medium, but i still have the problem when everythings on low. i reinstalled direct x 9.0b, and the latest nvidia graphics drivers. is this odd or is it me :P? thanks

Your system should work fine for Far Cry. 512 RAM is sufficient but 1 gig is better. Make sure you are not running anything in the background or have a spyware problem that is taking up valuable RAM. Also, make sure you have enough hard disk space to swap into.
