what you are asking about is called "system requirements" which is usually noted on the box but also commented about extensively at gamer sites

It's exactly as it says. The Video card is not supported. It's not powerful enough to make the game run. According to it's official minimum system requirements, It needs 8800 or better.
I've seen videos on youtube with hacks & overclocks that made it actually RUN but 15fps for a first-person shooter is basically "UNPLAYABLE", as they say.
If you're really bent on getting it to run on your current display adapter, try updating the drivers and if you DO manage to make it run, the frame rate is like watching a slideshow. With a better graphics card, not only will it stop giving you that "unsupported" error, it will actually run and be playable.

The Radeon HD 5450runs Crysis 2 well.

Just because the game manufacturer states that they have not specifically certified the game to run on your card does NOT mean that the game won't run.

Now that we know for sure the game will run with your video card, if there are issues running it we can look in to other possible causes.

Your video card is the problem.Your video don't support pixel shader.Try Upgrading ur video card, i think 1gb video card is the best

to play the latest games i think you might need to upgrade your video card and your processor\


note: crysis 1 has a very high requirement.... because of the game engine it use.....

Read this article and come up with your own conclusion. The article talks about a different game that they wanted to play so thats why they overclocked theres:

as a rule any Pentium 4 motherboard would not support a CPU let alone a video card that could play Crysis at any level that would be enjoyable. It's likely you either don't have a video card card expansion slot or that the one you have is AGP.

If you don't, sorry nothing you can do. If you have AGP you could in theory add a sufficiant card to meet the minimum spec and load the game but the store would have done you a disservice by selling it to you as your processor and RAM would barely alloww the game to load and even if a 1GB 9800 could be supported by you PC the performance your CPU could offer would leave the game lagging significantly on the physics side which would really mess up the game.

Frankly I work days in a retail computer store and have played crysis on several PCs, In my experience the minimum PC for "good" gameplay is a tri core AMD at least 2.1Ghz per CPU with 4GB of RAM and a 9600 512MB, and I have tried it on several machines.

My personal recommendation would be bare minimum:

Q6600 or AMD 8000 series Quad Core
4GB RAM
9800GT 512MB or ATI 4850 512MB

This will get a decent frame rate and support at least 1680 resolution, in gaming though, more is always better, frankly it would be cheaper to scrap that plan and by an Xbox with a copy of it's version of Crysis for under $400 unless you plan to play other PC only games in which case you can build what I recomended for around $1000US less if you already have a decent monitor or plan to hook up to a 120Hz LCD TV


Hope this helped,

wow uuh thats a good one to answer your problem did you get a new monitor 2 cause that could change it and if you hack into it you also might be able to fix it and what is crysis is like gears of war? send me an email at [email protected]

AlanChong20, update you're video casr software. The radeon 9200 last update is listed at this link.
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeon-prer300-xp.html
The date for the upgrade is Nov. 15, 2006 No more driver update are being made.
If you're game still gives you the same error try lowering the game graphics detail settings. If set to high, bring them down to medium. It very possible you're card does not have enough memory to play the game. The 9200 is a older card. It may be time to upgrade.
