Thread moved to the right area

[Keniyano]

Where's the right Area?

[Keniyano]

Here it is.. Okay well?

[GroundZero3]

I moved it for you already.

What games are you wanting to play? How much do you have to spend? Where do you live? Are you building this yourself or is it a prebuilt machine?

[Keniyano]

I'm building this myself and I want to play BF 3, Crysis 2 and skyrim. Can I max out all these games with this spec? Please answer..

[ShyguyXPC]

no, not even close.

what you have selected is a budget to lower mid range specs list.

if you want to max out or as close as possible, your going to need a card twice as powerful at least (250-300+ bucks), and a Quad core.

or even Dual Video cards.

oddly 8GB is actually more than you'll need in RAM, 4GB is plenty.

you'll also be needing to run 64-bit version of Windows to use all that Memory plus the video card Memory.

The only one of the 3 games you list that might be able to run pretty well on high settings is Skyrim, since its much more adaptable to the hardware on systems, the other two games you'll be lucky if it runs at decent frame rates on moderate settings.

[Keniyano]

Dual video cards? Lol okay thanks for your answer.

[SoloCamo]

Shyguy hit the nail on the head, that system isn't coming close to maxing out those games.

This said, are you building it yourself, or buying one pre made?

Either way, what is your budget and when do you plan to buy?

Also by dual videocards he means SLI (Nvidia) or Crossfire (AMD)

[Keniyano]

Wait! Dual video cards? BAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA MAN... You're hilarious!

[SoloCamo]

Wait! Dual video cards? BAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA MAN... You're hilarious!

I fail to see the joke in this?

[nickslick74]

Shy and Solo have answered your question.

What is your build budget, and what country are you located in so we can suggest the best parts for your budget.

[ShyguyXPC]

How about 3 or 4 cards then?


--->>

Capable or running 3 or 4 cards if necessary.

only have the one card in right now, but its capable or running 2 or more easily.

Solo has the same PSU, and slightly faster card, and can actually run 3 of them (GTX 480 is capable of 3 Way SLI, GTX 560 Ti I have is only Dual capable, but my GTX 470 is 3 Way capable)

[ShyguyXPC]

just a side note, the System I have runs Skyrim on maxed out settings with 1080p res and I can get at least 60fps or more.

I don't have Crysis 2 or BF3 yet, waiting to get those at bargain bin prices so no idea how they'll run, but from what I have read, they should run on moderate settings at decent enough frame rates.


Even my "older" system with a Core i7 920 Quad core instead of the 940 I have now, and my GTX 470 was able to run Skyrim nearly maxed out.

I have a GTX 285 parked along side it for PhysX and to be used for some GPU Processing software like Folding@Home, and Badaboom 2.0.

Its not an SLI setup, but thats what a dual card setup would look like, minus the SLI bridge adapter connecting the 2 cards.

this should really be posted in the area set aside for buying/selling/trade.

New member with no prior posts, or rep, or even sales, posting in a thread like this, is a bit suspicious as well.

Should really be posted there, but can post a link to it in this thread so they no where to go to look. (as there are some rules for selling on here)

Should also specify the Brand/Series/Model of the RAM you have, as well as the Brand and if possible model/part number of the Video card (as most brands make more than one variation with cooler designs and clock speeds), also Which Corsair Hydro Series Cooler, as there is the H40, H50, H60, H70, H80, and H100 models. Which CM HAF Case, there is more than one.

Which Acer LCD, again, generalized info, Which model, so they can look up specs on it.

Has the CPU been Overclocked, if so, how high, and what was its operating temps, and Voltages, also if RAM has been OC'd add that info as well.

[ShyguyXPC]

Your configuration is just fine. Add a Nvidia 1 GB Graphic with your list. That's it.

Its fine for what it is, listed, and able to play games, but not for what they're asking about.

Hi. I'm buying a new gaming computer and I want you guys to suggest me if its ok to max out all bad-ass games.

and a 1GB Nvidia card... ok, well if you know what your talking about, which one?

1GB Low end GT 430? 1GB GTX 550 Ti, 1GB GTX 560 or 560 Ti, 1280MB GTX 570, 580, GTX 670, 680? what?


Oh, and the little fact that they already have a Video card listed, 1GB Radeon 6850.

which would near the same range as a GTX 550 Ti to a GTX 560.
