Im going to reply right now before people start screaming i7 and GTX 2**, If you have any morals get a mid-high end PC dont go extreme 1000+ for a PC is wrong: - You dont need anything more than a 4870 along with a Core 2 duo at 2.66GHz and 4 gigs of DDR2 ram... put your money to better use. Im running a 8800GTS (320MB) and a Core 2 Duo at 2.2GHz and Im having no trouble playing every game maxed with some AA at 1280*1024 exlcuding crysis but its still the same experience on medium-high.
Fact: a crash = cheaper product to the consumer. I would love to pay less for games. The cost to make a high end game will remain high, and there would be fewer, but my bank account could use a rest.cainetao11
Fact: a crash = less money for developers/less of a chance that a developer would take a risk on a new concept = cheap rehashes for you and me!
[QUOTE="No_Quoter"]The 8500GT is faster than the 7600GT and that had no problem running BF2 for me on medium-high at 1280x1024 so I can't understand why the game lags on your system but I can speculate as to what might be the issue, so: -What resolution do you play at? -Do you have sufficient power?(what power supply are you using, if you don't know the name/model then state the specs if possible) But as others have pointed you into a direction you wouldn't mind heading towards then I say go for it and get a better GPU.360nut
I tried all types of resolutions and my power supply is 520wats duel fan thats all i can get from the box its called supreme power. also it still lags on the low settings at the lowest res
No need unless your desperate for that 1-5 frames extra in performance. If your in need of performance get a better CPU... but that may need a new motherboard.

I've completed oblivion numerous times with different races and well will probably do it again, I've also played through half-life/2/ep1/ep2, Fear, Bioshock, Gears of war, Call of Duty 4 and many many more games more than several times. On certain occasions where im spoilt for choice because I got greedy in game(UK) and braught 2 games at once then that could be a different story but in the long term I do eventualy complete every game and 40% of them do get replayed... usualy if I can replay a game I can do it more than once like Fear I've probabaly beat the campaign 10-15 times.
[QUOTE="ralle_22"]Are you about to overclock it? then take the Phenom 9600 othervise you should pick the Athlon 64 x2 7750 Most games out there only suport 2 cores and then 2.3GHz is often to slowbluewrxman
im not really planning to overclock though... Go for the 7750 BE if you can if not then still the 7750, I dont see what all the fuss is about aslong as you have moderatly powerfull dual core CPU along with a mid range graphics card+ your not going to notice much of an improvement if your lucky maybe 5-10 frames, now if your not playing Crysis those frames wont make much of a difference since you'll be running them at 40-80FPS with out the overclock... I have a E4400 core 2 duo at 2.0GHz along with an 8800GTS(320mb) and im not struggling in any game at 1280x1024 (exluding crysis/warhead).
