WhenKittensATK Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 You don't need a new rig to play those games, I can play new games just fine with my rig and my old X2 3800+ at stock speeds. Lost OC settings when my hdds died and I reseted Bios . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Why? Your rig shouldn't have any problems running either of them I know the games would probably run on my comp but I like playing games I get on maxed out settings and this rig will probably only get me as far as medium-low graphics detail level.

kingdingeling Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 What size monitor do you have? My rig, which is quite similar actually (only that my processor is faster, but I don't think that matters as much), 8800GTS 640MB and the 2900XT are on one level I think. I get (at 1680x1050) around 30-40 fps in Crysis, with everything maxed out, except Textures, Shaders and Post Processing. It still looks AMAZING!

WhenKittensATK Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I play Bioshock on 1920x1200 on max and get around 30-40fps. For Crysis I might have to tone down the settings some if I want to keep playing at 1920x1200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought crysis was one of those windows vista only games because of its requirement to use DX10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

innocent42 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Black BoxHellgate London World in Conflict Garry's Mod Wasn't Black Box canceled like 6 months ago? Anyway, Gmod and possibly Orange box. I'm building a new rig in May or June, so I'll hold off on most of my game purchases until then. I just don't think Crysis is going to be much fun on a P4 2.6, X1600 Pro, and monitor capable of displaying 1024x768 max. However, my new rig will have an overclocked Penryn and nVidia or ATI's latest and greatest. Now that will be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celcius Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 At the top of my list is UT3. I am getting that no matter what. I'll see what I can get after that... Same here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can run it in DX9 mode, it's pretty sweet (I have the beta) In Windows Vista you can run it with DX10, but IMO, other than a couple of cool rays of light, there's not that much of a difference...

Have you seen the difference? It's far far more than a couple rays of light... Wasn't Black Box canceled like 6 months ago? I got it with my 2900XT a few months ago.
