My new gaming system, what you all think?
- Thread starter Josh
- Start date
Quite similar spec to mine.
mines a 4400+
2gb OCZ platinum ram
I have the sli dr non expert board althoguh theres very little difference between them.
and a 7800gtx 512.
Seriously you will have no problem playing any game out at 1600x1200.
Do a little overclocking though and it does make a difference. Just make sure you get your graphics settings sorted out in the drivers put Transparency antialiasing etc on. and anisotropic filtering etc. As your system will cope with anything out currently without a problem might as well turn the eye candy up a bit more.

I'm looking forward to benching the new one I threw together on Friday.
Athlon X2 4800 as my budget couldn't accomodate an FX60 this time
DFI Lan Party
2 x Radeon X1900XTs 512mb
2gb Corsair XMS.
BTW Wozza, the latest nVidia drivers have finally fixed the problem we were having with Unreal 3. I've been speaking with the Developer Relations guy there and he's sending me some Unreal 3 tweaked betas to try.

upgrading about april/may time.
upgrading about april/may time.
i would stick another GTX512 in mine if i could its just damn near impossible finding someone that sells them now for less than £500 or at all.
There also going off the market this month. But i dont see myself upgrading for a while now i dont need to. Will wait till the next lot of cards come out see what nvidias next card is capable of.
And lee i know its only a beta but how well does the Unreal3 engine take advantage of multiple threads i know its supposed to be capable of using multiple cores etc but would like to know what the improvement is like. Does it give the 70-90% increase or is it one of these things that only gets like a 20% increase?
and tomehb why are you using raid1 woulda thought that was a gaming machine judging by the specs raid0 would suited for more speed in that respect since raid 1 just backs everything up so you still only have 500gb of hard disk space.

At present it doesn't take advantage of dual cores at all. We started a few systems with just one core when trying to fix the crash problems. But we're ready for when it does. The game we are currently working on it being lead on Xbox 360, so how it runs on the PC isn't an issue as that's just for Development.
