Crysis specs revealed!

[xRyokenx]

It's all stock. Hell, it's fanless. OC'd I get about 40-50C idle and it doesn't get above 60C while under load. It's awesome, I want to get two of the things in SLI someday soon.

I'd get a 8600GT over a 8500GT

[Spawn-Inc]

ya i think i will save the 120 and grab a 8600GT.

[crenn]

The 8600GT is no 'killer' but it certainly can run things decently.

[.Maleficus.]

I say you just save the $100 (or whatever it costs), and buy a good graphics card next. Instead of buying small now, just buy the good card and use it in your system until the rest of your parts come. Otherwise, you'll have two extra graphics cards you won't use, and probably won't sell (for much anyways).

I was thinking of getting two 8500GTs because I could slap them in older machines or something. I could definitely find a use for them. I might get an 8800 series card, but I don't have much cash. Right now I'm getting a new CPU, and later on new RAM as my mobo has only two slots... we'll see. Thanks for the concern though guys, heh heh. I don't want to get a new motherboard if possible. The one I did find needed some seriously fast RAM and I'd have to fork out more than $300 for the mobo, RAM, CPU, and extra 8500GT... it'd be like $700, more than I want to spend. This 8500GT, by the way, runs Crysis on 1024x768 with medium settings. My CPU is bottlenecking it though, you can tell, so that's what I'm going to upgrade first. I'll make a log out of it in another thread one day or something. /shrug

The only thing bottlenecking my system is my CPU also (E6600) and my HDD. When I build my brothers PC I will swap out my E6600 for his Q6600 lol, he wont know the difference. I am also going to get another 320GB HDD and wipe the one I'm using at the moment and do a fresh install with Raid 0. I would recommend saving your cash and getting the 8600GTS or the 8800GT, both are very good performers.

I have a Pentium D... I dont' remember the true name of it, but here's the specs: 2.66Ghz 533Mhz FSB with like 2MB cache

I'ma upgrade to a C2D... or C2Q if possible. I also plan on getting a riser card for my video card and seeing if I can get that to work out right so I can use a physics card (yes, I know about them, don't lecture me, lol).

For Crysis a quad would give much better performance then a Duo in the final version hopefully. Even though its clock is lower/

[crenn]

Unless you overclock the said Quad..... then it's faster than a Duo *winks*
