I have an MSi A6205 laptop with an i5 intel processor and 1GB dedicated graphics that will run just about any pc game made before 2008 with incredible ease 8D. Pity I don't have many of those ><

Wooden Desk (2x1 metres) with an Advent Keyboard (I like the short key-travel) and an Logitech MX518 mouse (highly recommend) plus a PS3 Six-Axis controller (who needs rumble?). Also a Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM a 24 inch 1080p monitor. Also often my laptop (pretty old and low spec) next to my screen that I keep most of my important documents on.

Under the desk I have my Playstation 3 (60GB model pluged into via HDMI) and Gaming PC that I built myself:
-GTX 280
-C2Q 9550 Processor
-4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
-Intel P45 mobo
-500GB HDD (not big enough for all my gaems!)

I just built my own PC about a month ago.

i5 750 CPU (Currently OCed to 3.68ghz on 4 cores, 4.2ghz on 1 or 2 core via turbo boost)
Zalman CNPS10X Extreme heat sink
ASUS P7P55D PRO motherboard
2x2gb Patriot Viper II Sector 5 RAM currently running at 1400mhz, CL7
2x 500gb Seagate 7200.12 HDDs in RAID 0 (1TB total)
Crossfire Sapphire 5850s OCed to 960 core/1190 mem (as of last night)
GT 240 dedicated PhysX card
AuzenTech Bravura 7.1 sound card
Corsair 750TX PSU
Altec Lansing 2.1 + Logitech X540 5.1 speakers for 7.2 surround (crossover enabled on bass, so the X540 sub does below 65hz, the AL 2.1 sub does above)
Samsung 24" monitor at 1920x1080
Antec 902 case + 1 internal fan.
Windows 7 64 bit
Oh and I got the Logitech EasyCall Desktop wireless keyboard + mouse combo (the mouse is 8 buttons + scroll wheel with up and side movement, and it's lazer for high accuracy tracking)
...that's about it.

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.

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?

Not you for a variety of reasons.

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. :)

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.

I think Crossfire 5970s or tri-SLI GTX 480s can just run Crysis at 8x.

Also forced supersampling is the new hotness.

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?

Nor 3D. The most you can really hope for with maxed out Crysis is 1080p.

What about 1920 x 1200? :p
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 voltage

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?
holy shit.

12 gb of ram?

what are you expecting to run on there? skynet?

Wait... my GPU doesn't support DX11?

I feel ignorant...

But if it could support DX11, then I bet it would run a DX11 game on wonderfully high graphics :D

At least, it's managed everything I've thrown at it.

In my room, I got a Slim PS2 (which needs some weight on the power cable to work), a transparent red (ie. pink) N64 and a shiny shiny silver GameCube. Also, a pretty kickass Sony mini hifi with some sweet wood finish Mission speakers.

A lot of the benchmarks I've seen lately are at 1920x1080 and then they start stepping up into the gonzo resolutions.

I do think we'll start seeing benchmarks of games with driver-forced supersampling, though, since the results can be truly stunning.

Here's Mass Effect 2 rendered at 6400x3600 scaled down to 720p.
