... Crysis on high settings, i'll gladly do it...


I tried the Crysis Pre-Release demo on my PC and it was very comfy to play with when all options are set to High. There are a few frame drops I noticed when lots of stuff is flying around but aside from that it runs nice and easy.

Main Specs:
viewtopic.php?f=41&t=7453

    GIGABYTE M68MT nForce 630a Socket AM3 Motherboard
    AMD Phenom II 1055T Six Core Processor
    Corsair CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 XMS3 4GB DDR3 RAM
    Western Digital 500GB Caviar Blue Hard Drive
    DiabloTek Elite 450W PSU ATX Mid Tower Case

Total Cost of Main Parts: $335 without rebates.

Then I added an AMD Radeon HD6770 and this runs everything I throw on it. But then again, I'm not a PC gamer anymore so I can only confirm that I can run Crysis at 25-40fps on 1280x720 8xAA and DJMAX Trilogy at 1920x1080 at Maximum settings at 650-1500fps.

i was thinking about replacing the joystick with a normal one...or mabey all the buttons...then i can just take apart a normal controller and place the board on top of the arcade one and makea a case for the buttons so it doesnt look ghetto.

This is better than what Mako posted. Asus mobo versus ASrock (which is flax, from what I hear), and cheaper. You could substitute [urlhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231422]this ram[/url] if you want to have 8gb. It would only be $10 more.

Just curious, is the video card the same? I see its a geforce 560, but will I get the same framerate?

Only difference is manufacturer, so far as I know. Its possible one or the other is clocked slightly different, but at the top end the difference would be +/-2%. I dont think they are, though.

EDIT: I wasnt paying attention. The one I posted is a 560, which is rather less powerful than the 560Ti that mako posted. So go with that one. Its only $10 more anyway.

560Ti is faster, silly.
Also, ASRock is by no means bad as long as you go for their $80+ motherboards.

Oh. I didnt actually notice the one isnt a Ti. And why bother with a $80+ ASrock board when a cheaper Asus is still better?

Reviews on that power supply are fine. Besides, that stuff is all interchangeable. You can find almost any brand at that price.
