That's one of the really neat things about PC gaming, there are no "generations", it's just a constant gradual evolution. Sure, it can get expensive, but a gaming PC isn't a static platform, it's always able to change.Rakkana said:I don't even remember how good my computer is anymore.

Not you for a variety of reasons.Tharwen said:Mine's an awesome desktop that looks like this:

It has a 2.8GHz I7 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 275, 4GB of RAM, and a 1TB (10,000 RPM) harddrive.
Who else do you know who can run Crysis on very high settings with 8x anti-aliasing and DirectX 11?
/boast
Also, nothing can run Crysis at 8xAA. I have crossfire 5850s which pwn the shit out of a single 275, and I can run it at 4xAA with some slow down when using binoculars/scope. In Crysis Warhead tho it works just fine at 4xAA.meticadpa said:Not you for a variety of reasons.Tharwen said:Mine's an awesome desktop that looks like this:

One of them being that your GPU does not support DX11 at all, and the other being that Crysis is a DX9/DX10 game and has no support for DX11.
It's not awesome unless you build it yourself.
Nice try buddy.![]()
I think Crossfire 5970s or tri-SLI GTX 480s can just run Crysis at 8x.Wolfram01 said:Also, nothing can run Crysis at 8xAA.

Eh, two GTX 480s or GTX 470s is enough really (providing they're overclocked, as well as your CPU). I presume we're not talking about 2560 x 1600 or a multi-monitor resolution?Nwabudike Morgan said:just[/i] run Crysis at 8x.
Also forced supersampling is the new hotness.
Nor 3D. The most you can really hope for with maxed out Crysis is 1080p.meticadpa said:Eh, two GTX 480s or GTX 470s is enough really (providing they're overclocked, as well as your CPU).

What about 1920 x 1200?Nwabudike Morgan said:Nor 3D. The most you can really hope for with maxed out Crysis is 1080p.
Ok, I didn't consider quad or tri gpu systems. Although I know for a sad fact that crossfire 5970s won't run it, but that's a driver/Crysis issue. Most games will benefit it's just I've read a lot of people have issues with CF 5970s in a few games, and Crysis is one. But yeah, I guess there's potential to do it. Anyway, just for shits here's Crysis on single and CF 5850s OCed to 850/1200 on stock voltagemeticadpa said:What about 1920 x 1200?Nwabudike Morgan said:Nor 3D.

holy shit.Fluffles said:Intel i7920
Asus P6T-SE
12G RAM
2x HD 5870 (1G)
750W PSU...
really, I don't need to go into details... it's a beast. Now what was the point of this thread other than taking out your e-peen and flinging it around the room smashing the dreams of others?

A lot of the benchmarks I've seen lately are at 1920x1080 and then they start stepping up into the gonzo resolutions.meticadpa said:What about 1920 x 1200?Nwabudike Morgan said:Nor 3D. The most you can really hope for with maxed out Crysis is 1080p.![]()
