    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    I decided to run the new box and see how it would stack up against Crysis.

     

    I'm happy with that.  Smoking

    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    Hey Tracer76, This is a very kewl website but I agree with Nakuvamp the bench is biased towards Intel and Nvidia.

    You still get the general idea but it is well overdue for many application, hardware and software providers to recognize AMD and ATI as equal leaders with regard to benchmarks.

    I could rant about that one all day but I will show respect for your post instead.

    Good call friend !!!

    I've used it before. I like it; makes it easy to see if you're computer will run a game before buying it.

    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    So apparently I fail epically at Crysis, but I'm thinking that the recommended is for playing the games at max settings, and yet the "We Recommend" graphics cards are below mine (4350??)

     

     

     But I pwn Fallout 3

    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    I would not feel bad about that one Capt. Insane for Crysis that is. Its very demanding, even when they brought out warhead it was less intensive then Crysis was.

     I get the same as well but I can play it.

    Crysis

    Thats probably why I like G.R.I.D for a race game.

    Thats a good test for Fallout 3 that you got.

    This is what I get for crysis... not to bash on my pc but thats just not right lol. I geuss the program may have a few glitches

    I suspect Duckman ran into the same problem unless he really has one BA pc. for some reason it says i have 2.2gb video mem

    Re: This is For PC gamers only.

    Your most likly running a 32bit OS. Mine does close to the same at 1.5GB of video memory, tested this on a 64Bit and it shows 512. But your Q6600 helps as well vs. a AMD 5200+ that can not come close to it. BTW yes 4GB of RAM in a 32bit system is utilized just the part that you don’t see will show up as Video memory.

    Now that is strange considering that you are running a 64bit OS. Confused. I have seen it done only in a 32bit so far.

    Crysis is very demanding.  I tried to run it on a pretty decent laptop with 8600GT and 3 gigs of ram, but it was still laggy.  Games shouldn't be this resource hungry.
