[QUOTE="CreasianDevaili"]

Just chucked a grand into my pc this month for a few upgrades. 600 for my monitor. I'd say by today's prices the pc would cost someone as a entire package just 2300usd.

As far as the 6000 pc and crysis max save for resolution and AA.. if its for workstation then I can see and understand it being worth it if you make money in that field. If its a gaming rig and you cant even manage 2560x1600 on very high with some AA then it is epic fail on many fronts. Unless its 4 years old.

My PC's specs exceed Crysis' recommended specs, so I don't know why I can't completely max it out. Anyways here's my PC's specs:

Network Gaming Card: K1 Killer NIC Card
Sound Card: Integrated Hi-Def Audio, Nvidia C55-MB
Video Cards: Dual Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB, SLI-Enabled
Physics Card: Ageia Physx PCI-Expresse X1
Processor: Pentium 4 Dual-Core 3.2GHz HSF Z9H741K011
RAM: 4GB DDR2 Low Latency PC-6400 AW108
Hard Drive: 1TB Seagate SATA 3G 7200RPM 16 MB Cache NCQ
Monitor: 22" Samsung 1680 X 1050 (2MS) 226BW

Again, I really should have no trouble maxing out Crysis, but when I put the resolution to 1680 X 1050 I can't use AA at all without it getting really choppy. Anyone know why, cause it kinda disappointed me. I'm currently running 1280 X 1040 with 8X AA.

awsome pc chester! One thing people should keep in mind is that I am guessing you have options like an unlocked prcoessor which is over $1000 by itself. You might be able to overclock this system considerably. Also low latency ram offers little advantage with intel chips. Are you running vista 64 bit? If not 4 gig of ram won't work and if you are maybe crysis has a driver issue for vista 64. The physics card was probably a waste too but I think they are really cool to have as an extra.

[QUOTE="RawTechnique"]

[QUOTE="chesterocks7"]$6000 on my current PC. To have an idea of how it works, it runs Crysis with everything maxed, except for the resolution and anti-aliasing.fatzebra

So does my $650 NewEgg built computer. ^ ^

Haha yeah right. The card and processor alone to max that game cost $650 together on newegg. Don't even try that junk.

I agree. A lot of dual graphic card set-ups cost that much.

Personally I spent about $2300 on my current build but that includes monitor, case, and all new peripherals. For just the pc I probably spent about $1700 and yes it can play crysis on dx10 graphics maxed out with a decent frame rate at 1280x720 resolution. Never tried any higher rez.

[QUOTE="modai119"]Not with those specs... Only get vista if your building a new compHexagon_777

Are they that bad when it comes to Vista? :shock:

I have vista and have never had any problems with it so I am not a hater. Having said that, your system is at the bottom end of what can run vista and games won't work as well as xp for you. Furthermore there is no reason to run vista since you won't be using any directx10 grapgics with that setup. A new OS will be coming out in 2009 so maybe you can upgrade your pc then.

one of my favorites. I think though that long development times are most often not good for the game. How could duke nukem forever not disappoint after 10 years? But anyways I wish we had a Max Payne 3 on the horizon.

psy ops is free and a pretty good pc game. It was originally a retail release and its of retail quality. not too old either. Its a scifi style third person action game if you like those.

[QUOTE="nutcrackr"]I was a bit doubtful, but the spore creature creator sales put me in my place. Consistently selling well, even outselling sims 2 expansion packs. That's pretty big, EA hit the marketing right, it's a few million seller easy.Sleepyz

Gotta love EA's greed selling whats considered a demo to an upcoming game but they know theres no shortage of suckers willing to dish out the cash so good for them hehehe.

Well I haven't bought the $10 version but I think you are dead wrong about greed and suckers. EA is a buisness that sold a fully functioning product that could have been a standalone game in the first place. Secondly you call them suckers but if they really enjoy it, and keeping in mind that the free version is quite limited on parts, then why are they suckers? Its $10 dollars.
