2009 Alienware Aurora game review

[locomotive185]

@Guding12 haha you have a ps3?

[XC0MB4TXEV0LV3D]

is the baseline aurora good?

[MJ4everTheKing]

i want to get this with the I7 960 unclocked version, ATI 5970 2gb and 12 GB ram

[leftstanding]

@MJ4everTheKing lol me too! did u get it?

[MJ4everTheKing]

@leftstanding nah, i already built my own pc. i found out that alienware is overpriced. and that you can get twice as much if you just built your own pc

[DHaJ40]

one question should i get this? please tell me i need a gaming pc?

[MultiSheepsheep]

i hate alienware , too overpriced , and for what? - nice boxes? - nice desingh ? - lol - you can get a normal pc with the same specs for much much much less money

[TnNProducions]

@MultiSheepsheep wrong for some instances alienwares are cheaper and better then other pc/ laptop

at least compare before u say something

[KurkoD]

@MultiSheepsheep No one is asking you to buy an Alienware, they are expensive because they are Alienware, thats why u dont see everybody using it, personally, i like it like that and if u dont just buy no alienware pc.

[WillyWobSk8in]

@MultiSheepsheep if you look up individual parts and price them to an alienware you only save $100-200 max, thats not including shipping. plus its not like robots put the computer together. actually people get paid to do this job. sweatshop/slave-labor is the only way an alienware would be cheaper then custom built comps. so think before you keep making yourself look like a sheep... lol its in your name.

[MyThePooP]

@MultiSheepsheep cool story bro

[bazfanv2]

If i played this game on my pc id get about 3fps on all low settings. Any higher and the pc would melt into a puddle of aluminium,

[MJ4everTheKing]

can you run this no problem with 6gb ram 1600 mhx and a 1.8 gb nvidia geForce 260 and i7 920 2.66 ghz??

it shoud be plenty if you ask me, what do you think

[jacobmcr858]

@MJ4everTheKing Spend a little more on the card and get 2 5770s or a 5870

[Guding12]

white screen of death!

[concreteballZ]

do you think this game will work with the 2.66 GHz version? id rather not spend an extra 500 bucks :P

[gggrow]

@concreteballZ I don't know what processor you're referring to, but this game is very graphics intensive - not CPU intensive. If you're talking about the i5 750, yes it will work fine. In fact, there is no reason a gamer would need more than the i5 750 any time soon.

(Higher CPUs are useful for emulation, which is CPU based, and other non-gaming uses.)

[NudeNuke]

did you choose the gtx 260 or the crossfire 5670

[naryanr]

that's not very good fps considering your spec.

[MrNightWork]

is this the arora wich costs $999

[LegendarySock]

Man, your FPS counter is all over the place. Looks pretty effin solid, though.

I would have gone nVidia.

[tallirasha]

this game looks more like what i expected far cry 2 to be like

[Bowlao2]

DAMN its just around 30 to 40 FPS......

[fritti]

When u played crysis, did it make much noice?

[utohaha]

what is your specs?

[fritti]

@utohaha dude,, its the first thing they show in the clip-.-

[smduchode]

i got this system to buy i got mine pro built for 5000$ so its 1.8gb dual vid card 12gb memory

3.6tb hard disk to all u smart ppl out there thats

3600gb hard drive =]

[Eagle9er9er]

@smduchode

No because theres 1,024 GB's in a TB

1024 x 3 = 3,074 + 600 = 3,674 GB's

You have a 3,674 Gig Harddrive

[xR3Sx]

WTF avg fps 40 something  1 ati 5970 on same settings gets 55 fps avg or higher

[Liwiwo]

5970 is a dual card, furthermore i doubt that the base system is the same.

[cche293]

Dude alienware's get up to 90 fps

[SamW2H]

@xR3Sx I thot the same thing

[Jakobguldager]

I have 2x 4850 in my PC, I have not done anything on it that it couldn't handle untill now. When I plug maximum settings on Modern Warfare 2 I sometimes get lagg spikes if I look towards crouded areas. I don't understand why.

[blehhhhh2009]

try to update your driver :).

[ratchetfan101]

@Jakobguldager Do you have the Alienware? Games aren't soley based off of GPUs. They are very reliant on the processor as well. If you don't have the alienware aurora, or ARea 51 in your desktop, you don't have an i7 and in games when you look into crowded areas, it uses the processor to process those extra computers running around. Like in Left 4 Dead, with a bad processor, you'll lag when a horde starts. Don't get me wrong, it does this on multiplayer as well.

[jacobmcr858]

@Jakobguldager Might actually be your CPU.

[CobraGMW2]

@jacobmcr858 yes it is the CPU.

when i play Crysis with HD 5770 1440x900

in silent areas i have round 35 fps

but when i see about 3 or more koreans at  a time a start to lag.

its the CPU calculating the AI what to do, how to act. takes alot of stress.

my CPU sux. Intel E5300 2.6

[coolcatrich]

@Jakobguldager whats ur RAM? That could influence it also.

[Curtanix]

@Jakobguldager try to get a new Grapich card . the dual card you have is a bit old now not rellay good for nes games :) take for an example ATI Radeon 5870 . and you will run about all games nice and smooth ^^
