PS - im sorry for photo quality i use iPhone, real camera isnt working. :P

Are you sure? because ive seen it played easily on my chip at 3.6ghz. and with all my other CPU intensive games aka, Company of Heroes, Crysis, BFBC2 etc etc i got over 20 fps increase with the 4ghz overclock. my friend has is E8500 at 5.4ghz on nitrogen and he gets 60 fps average. he has the same rig as me.

i wanna play GTA4 pc and was wondering if i'd be ablet to max it out without aa or af at 1920x1200 with my rig above 30 fps:

Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD5870 oc edition (875/1250)

i know it sais i need a quad core but im gettin an i7 at one point just wondering if i could run it well for now ;) PLEASE ANSWER QUICK

Hey guys, remember how i was gonna go with that AMD cpu and mobo? not anymore my dad said that he'd be getting me the i7 875k 2.93ghz and i will be overclocking it past 4ghz. how do my specs look for any new coming games for the next little while with that chip and any LGA1156 mobo?:

Intel Core i7 875k 2.93ghz @ 4.2ghz or Intel Core i7 930 2.8ghz @ 4.5ghz (water cooled)

will be upgrading ram to ddr3 1066 atleast 4gb or more.

some LGA1156 mobo (any suggestions for the sub100-150$ price point? (im in canada btw)

Sapphire Vapor-X HD5870 OC edition 875/1250 @ 1000/1400 (if i can do it)

Seasonic X 650w psu

Antec 300 gaming case

At one point a Corsair Hydro H50 watercooling unit for CPU

anyone think i can run Crysis 2 maxed or metro 2033 n stuff with that easily?

Umm please read my last post about the bottleneck asap

i have a problem, there is a bottleneck in my rig right now and im looking into two really amazing upgrades for the price. heres my rig right now:

Asus P5Q-E

Intel Core 2 DUO E8500 3.16ghz

4gb OCz Platinum PC2-6400 800mhz ram

Windows 7 x64 ultimate

Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD5870 OC edition (875/1250)

because of my cpu the gpu is being bottlenecked. im looking into these two parts, to replace mobo and cpu (the cpu i will unlock to quad core and overclock to 4ghz per core)

Hey guys im thinking about two HD5870's in my rig and im getting a Seasonic X 650w psu, is that enough? if not ill stick with one 5870 and do a bunch of upgrades l8er.

Yea i know :( im not upgrading for a while tho... if i do its a highend i5... unless the i7s SEVERLY drop in price

Hey guys its me again i always push, i forget if i asked u this but if i did i've recently upgraded so it should be a different answer now. I was wondering how well i could run Metro 2033 all dx11 settings on except Advanced DoF at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 with this system:

Intel Core 2 DUO E8500 3.17ghz hopefully to be overclocked to 3.8ghz
Sapphire Vapor-X HD5870 1gb GDDR5 OC edition (875/1250)

Windows 7 x64 ultimate

Seasonic X 650watt psu

4gb ocZ PC2-6400 800mhz ram platinum

antec 300 case

several 120mm fans

Asus triton 75 cpu cooler. (keeps cpu temps between 20-35, but each core can go from 37-45 on load) any ideas?
