HD4870x2 CrossFireX Crysis 2600x1600 AAx16 Very High

[SnuggeryBuggery]

After two years these videos look incredibly stupid.

[MC3carcritic]

Can this play pinball smoothly? (Microsoft Windows XP SP 3)

[system16]

lol pity that 12gb of that ram isn't doing anything.

[Nyllet1221]

16 GB OF RAM ?! lo... *JIZZJIZZJIZZJIZZJIZZ* l...

[RkaydGamer]

I play crysis on enthusiast with a 4870 1 gb no problems wtf is everybody talkin bout

[TheSonnybit]

Can this game run on Intel Intregated Card + Intel pentium 3?

And a windows 98?

[Ou8y2k2]

@TheSonnybit No, minimum system requirements are Pentium 4, WinXP, 1GB RAM, 12GB free hard disk space, DX9.0c video card with 256MB VRAM and a DX9.0c sound card.

[JizzTechCo]

My core I7 runs at 2.67 MHz... HA!

[PCgame4life]

2600x1600 on a 360p video shows fuck all to me.

[XxPoints2shopsxX]

Aw man.. would be nice if it was in HD, this looks could be a pentium 4.

[steevyp]

nice vid, but you dont need to use AAx16 in 2600x1600. wont make much difference.

[adamknox]

P.s just out of intrest... can you run MS patience at max?...:P lol

[adamknox]

something is not right :'( my spec phenom 2 x4 955 at 3.6Ghz with a 4870x2 4Gb ram only gets upto 40fps in crysis.. and falls to 30 ofetn at 1900x1200 2AA -_-

[adamgremlin]

because he have crossfirex that mean he have 2 cards hd 4870x2 and 16GB RAM LOL

[adamknox]

....oh lmao! Sorry!! i thought you meant you had 1.. sometimes people make out they have that in crossfire -_- lmao i was thinking there was something seriosuly wrong with my pc :D Ok im EXTRA JEALOUS now :$

[steevyp]

try taking the AA off and see how many fps u get then because u dont really need it. its only really for the lower resolutions.

[Themaster586]

FAKE!

[fpsbananaadbass]

i got an hd 5770 :D and its a very goooooooooood card too!!!! not even fast as 4870 x2^^ but as an 4870.

i could get this but with dx 11 it would be better

[steevyp]

the only good thing about having a 5770 over a 4870 is directx 11.... the 4870 performs a lot better and it has more processors (800 as opposed to 650 i think).

[TheQuadcoreS]

@steevyp

The HD 4870 is just a little bit faster than a HD 5770 but the HD 5770 has 800 Shader units too ;)

[brotherofhumanity]

@steevyp Noe, they both have 800 shaders

[67CopperHead]

@fpsbananaadbass u know the 5770 is a little faster then a 4890 not even close to a 4870

[arbormanA1]

@67CopperHead Anandtech, HardOCP, CPU Magazine, Tom's Hardware, and many others would disagree with you. 5770 is slower than both the 4870 and 4890. The 5770 has the same amount of stream processors(800), but runs on a narrower 128bit memory bus instead of the 4870's 256bit. A simple google search would've put you in the "know." Don't embarrass yourself next time.

[MrTobiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

lol but ATIs 8*AA looks better then Nvidias 16*AA xD, and yes, i have a Nvidia 8800GT Shit card.

[superjuben]

haha ati do not support 16 aa only 8 aa

[hahahaz07]

mine one can hold 256mb of RAM.. cool eh?

[RadioactiveRampage]

lol i feel bad for you

[NoChikenStrips]

thats halarious man!

[TDawg2k7]

NERD RAAAAGE

[Cheesecake2k]

16gb of ram is like. the max for new windows 7. who the fuck needs more than 4gbs?

[NvidiaCoolmaster]

I do to create games you need much ram!! i have 12 GB 1600 mhz

[Cheesecake2k]

You don't need more then 4 gigabytes unless your a toddler programming crysis, kthx.

[brandon5377]

video editing/ 3d designing/ huge photoshop projects can occupy 12gb+ ram easily..

[yosmer333]

also 16 GB ram is fvcking impossible, stop the motha fvcking lie.

[FloatyPineapple]

It's not impossible, just useless. There's no need for that much, but it can be done.

[yosmer333]

Dude, look his mother board. "Asus Maxiums Extreme"

16 Gb ram is not possible in that Mobo.

[FloatyPineapple]

Didn't read his motherboard, and even if I did, I wouldn't be inclined to search it up.

You said it was 'impossible' and didn't expand on it. I thought you meant it was entirely and completely impossible.

[nightfox272]

haha get with the times dude, my rig can run up to 16gb

[yosmer333]

oh really? what's your mobo?

[nightfox272]

GA-P55-UD3

[roshawn1111]

lol no its not

[harvesthunter0707]

Well obviously you are a fucking retard as my computer can hold a total number of 24 gb of RAM..

[yosmer333]

oh really? my computer can hold a total of 36 Gb of ram...

good try... fucking retard piece of shit.

funny.

[vicskyline9]

dude who the fuck cares. in reality, for genral purpose computing, and even high power computing, if you're using a consumer motherboard, you are probably not using super crazy apps that use like 20 gigs of ram....

[yosmer333]

Ohh.. another guy who doesn't know what do "sarcasm" means.

[vicskyline9]

haha. yeah i guess ur right...

[shgjlsfg]

who really cares?

[Noojtxeeg]

lots of stupid comments below. just so you guys all know, when someone tells you 2.66 ghz is each core working at 2.66 ghz, they don't know what they're talking about.

the i7 has hyperthreading, meaning it's better at multitasking, etc. but not necessarily gaming (to an extent) honestly, any of today's dual-core can preform (fps-wise) about 90 as well has any quad-core. it's really the video card that matters if you're budget oriented.

[Roemming]

i got quadro 2.4 GHz  is that good ? I mean i love it, but what do you think?

[Noojtxeeg]

it's good, but it's your video card that makes the bigger difference.

[Roemming]

well i have 2x GTS 8800 640mb

[Noojtxeeg]

that's really good actually, even though it's a few years old, you can still crush some games that are released today.

[Roemming]

But i still have some proplems with my Gta Iv with the grapichs, its like there is some limit for my settings, it says that i only have 290 mb, when i have +1280mb 

But anyway, thanks m8 :D

[qwertyuploader]

true

processors DOES affect gaming performance, but if u ha to choose to upgrade a processor or a VGA, it's 99,99%guaranteed that the vga will go better for a game

[jlebesis]

Great vid! Not sure if anyone else has had this trouble...Crysis suddenly stopped working even after a re-install. Game loads fine, but before it goes into gameplay screen it goes black..and Windows says there is a fatal error :( Anyone had this problem? Cheers!

[minnifutte]

how are you modding that flying mode? :b

[Scorpionbrnu]

Its  quad core. its 2.66Ghz per core. Therefore 2.66 x 4

[Amatugold]

with hyper-threading it's more like

2.66 x 8, which is why the i7 is so valueble but im still in love with my phenom ii x4 though lol

[Scorpionbrnu]

I got an Original Phenom x4

[jimi1765]

nah not all cores works on 2.66 ghz idiot

[gothicXT]

your mother !

[jimi1765]

my mother?

[yosmer333]

Why 16 GB Ram? That's a total waste of money.

your system is not even using 4 Gb ram while playing Crysis.

[uut0]

Core I7 2.66 x 4 wtf 4 i7s?

[Ace33blue]

Its not possible dude, i have yet to see a dual socket motherboard for an i7 let alone a 4 socket motherboard anyways.

[uut0]

yeh i know but look in the description:

My brand ( lol ) new gaming PC ( lol ) : HD4870x2 Asus Maxiums Extreme Core I7 2.66 x 4 16 GB RAM

wtf

[Xenios18]

i agree max 2 cpu and its for server mother board and if he have core i7 its means he have ddr3 memory and wtf he finded 4gb ddr3. I got only 2gbX4 ddr3 with 1333 mhz

[kvothe1177]

you can... i guess you would call it sli... 2 motherboards making it possible to do as he says... but that would be 2 computers...

[ion5061]

no...dont need two computers just checkout a sli vid. a sli motherboard has two pci slots

[mbsfaridi]

no the i7 has just 4 cores

[uut0]

i know it has 4 cores and 8 threads. its just wierd in said in the description

[DarkProPower]

reselution: 2600x1600?

did you have an quadro fx?

the highest for dvi is 2560x1600!

16 gb ram on this board?

an I7 on this boad?

pretty looser!

[russiangangsta41]

lol, an AMD/ATI based board with I7? Where the fuck did you learn your computers? Preschool?

[TheDarkFalcon]

hahaha

[CrdBrdProjects]

If you're talking about the video, I'm pretty sure X58 boards can use SLI and XFire. The only reason why the P40 series couldnt was due to bios restrictions.

[ThePhailedRoflcopter]

This is rly rly funny... 16GB of ram is not possible with i7... It's triple channel

[paulmargi]

n00b... Go get a life...rethard.....This is soo fake I can't beleave it:))....you don't even know how to lie..because your so called "PC" is so wrong:))

[smalamas]

it s a liar

asus maximus extreme with i7 haha

[realdimension]

Indeed. the maximus extreme doesnt support socket 1366. Abd the video is clearly a far lower resolution than 2600x1600. xD

Besides.. 16GB of RAM is retarded. Your system would never go over 8 anyway.

[paulmargi]

well said my friend.... respect

[mugen1237]

@smalamas There is a Maximus Extreme with socket LGA1156. Some i7 are socket LGA1156, no?

[smalamas]

@mugen1237The Asus Maximus Extreme is a Intel X38 chipset.

core 2 duo & core 2 quad only.

[mugen1237]

@smalamas Intel Maximus Extreme III LGA 1156 Intel P55.

[afiq882]

nice benchmark!!

but 4870x2 vs gtx295 whichc card BEST?

[Ancalagon94]

The GTX295 is better, but I recently upgraded my computer and then I chose 4870X2 because it has a way better price/performance ratio.

[tehkill3r]

Yeah, i picked the XFX ATi Radeon HD 4870 X2 for the price too, the EVGA GTX 295 cost almost twice as much.

[vulcanz68]

What fps can i get on low and medium

specs:Pentium 4 overclocked at 3,20ghz

evga 8800gt

4 gb ram

Windows XP

DirectX 9

And at 1600 x 900 resolution

[DavidPlim]

about 60-80 so yeah thats fine

[source707]

This is bullshit.

[volks1470]

too bad this video is bullshit, even 4870 X2s in Crossfire or GTX 295 Quad SLI can't produce playable framerates at 2560x1600 with 16xAA.

Anything past 4GB of ram is pretty much going to waste unless you run professional applications such as photoshop and similar programs. (also using them to their maximum potential)

[iliatay]

wut r u smoking? xp 32-bit can only handle 3.5 gb of ram while vista 64-bit can handle 24gbs of ram

[volks1470]

Well actually Windows 64bit operating systems can handle up to 128GB of RAM.

There was an article by Tom's Hardware showing the no significant increase in performance from 3GB to 12GB of RAM. Though I can't find it anymore...

[iliatay]

lol but it depends on how strong ur processor speed is aswell, but it also depends on the ram FSB too

[jstark069]

Your absolutely right about the above 4 gig comment. I just built a new AMD Dragon Platform system (check my vids) I have 8 gig of ram. I use MAYA and Photoshop-CorelX, while encoding video. If you don't do all that at once or really push your system as a work horse like I do, then you will never need more than 4-6 (EVER). People who buy 12-16 are just pissing money away. I have an ATI 4890 and can't even dent the card. If I start using 3 monitors again, (maybe) I'll crossfire it, but not yet.

[zatlasba]

16go ? hahahahaha for what ?? 6 go is the standar for the i7 platform and 4go is a standar for 775 platform

[Master1906]

ur system has way too much ram. it'll be another 5-10 years before 16gb ram becomes standard.

[jma90]

2 years more or less technology updates really fast these days

[gr0ggi]

I smell a fake .... iiiiih....;-)

[BillYiOn1]

my system can almost do that......

i got 1920x1200 4xAA very high with a phenom II 940@ 3.76, 4 gigs of ddr2 1600, and a ATi 4890. I go Vista ultimate 64, get about 23-35 fps

[jstark069]

very similar to my system, check my vids. 4890 FTW!

[limeemoslaa]

I alredy got (2x2048)4GB ddr2 ocz sli ready edition dual channel 800mhz and want to put (2x1024) 2GB ddr2 dual channel corsair memory 800mhz in order to have 6GB ram system

is there any problem with dual chanbels or something like that?

my motherboard XFX nForce 680i Sli LT ATX supports up to 8 gb ddr2 in a 64bit system

[Zerololz]

My brother runs that, works very nice :) - Q9550, GTX 260 and that ram combo works nice.

[Infamanious]

It's a shame some people dont know how to properly encode a video.

[therevengeofsaladboy]

It's a shame that motherboard doesn't support 16GB.

Or an i7.

[teknorave]

Yeah, you lying piece of shit. Take that 16 gigs of ram and shove 15 up your ass bitch. INTEL QUAD CORE FTW!

[duffmanw]

the x58 motherboards can take up to 24gb

[therevengeofsaladboy]

Granted.

[Moothyknight4534]

is vista 64-bit required to have more than 4 gigs of RAM? Cuz that wold be shtoopid otherwise...

[therevengeofsaladboy]

No, there is no minimum amount of ram it can have.

[xxsexyxtacoxx]

512mb minimum, my son.

[therevengeofsaladboy]

And?

[xxsexyxtacoxx]

aaaand you said there was no minimum ram requirement for vista. you literally cant even install vista without at least 512mb of ram, unless the copy of vista is modified to allow installation with less. thats "and". lol

[therevengeofsaladboy]

No no, that's completely different.

He was talking about different ram requirement in Vista 64 and he asked if you needed over 4GB to run it.

It's common sense to say that you need *SOME* memory to run an operating system.

Because if you had NONE it would sit there.

I'm fully aware of the system requirements.

[xxsexyxtacoxx]

haha ahh. thought you meant that there was no minimum requirement. my apologies

[davidhack3r]

vista can run on 256mb :D ...but it will be very slOw...try to download the windows vista lite...it works ...

[theWhiizkiid]

16gb or ram?! holy shit thats the most ive heard on a pc.

[jujuman3k]

ATI owns NVIDIA

[JBareMYlifeANDlove]

boobies rule

[Nitroouszak]

hell yeah!

[gandharajrishab]

asus maximus extreme does not support the corei7

[xxBroetchenhechtxx]

xD  .

[knightofhell7890]

ECS A780GM-A Motherboard - AMD 780G motherboard is what i have and it can handle up to 32GB of memory max but with limited support Quantumcarl.

[exteelPulse]

Why does the discription Specs, differ with you channel specs?(lol)

;D

[RedundanceBoy]

Core i7 runs slower with 16GB because it's forced to use dual channel instead of triple channel lol

I call BS

[Clutchinator]

why 16gb ram no need..

[xscottx019]

i want to see proof of your specs and proof that you have all the settings that..:D

[HighShippu]

True. But Crysis eats Killzone HARD .. mm lol

[LeeTheShogun]

well fake or not it looks nice, but it cannot beat killzone 2

[HighShippu]

Killzone is Crysis "Wanna Be"

This is the Real SHit, Fucker

[LeeTheShogun]

thats your opinion

[HighShippu]

Sorry man, its not what i think, its what 90% of peope whom seen such a gameplay think.

[LeeTheShogun]

Well you like crysis more i like killzone 2 more, who care's anyways

[UsAndA95]

Killzone 2 = Has Good Textures and Motion Blur

Crysis = Extreme Good Graphics =P

[MobileFreedom122]

Nice spec...Mine well a little lower than urs..

My Specs..

P4 HT 3.2GHz

Radeon HD 4670 DDR4

MSI MB-G31M3-F Mainboard 1333MHz

4GB Ram DDR2 800MHz

80GB HDD Sata

HD Audio Sound Card Came with the Mainboard

That's all....And love Killzone 2

[KvSwooo]

"thats your opinion " its a fact that crysis is pwnage and can smash Kill Zone 2

[sesestro]

ok fine whatever u say boss man

[JebusOwns54540]

fake sauce

[AiiooD]

huh when is was checking out this motherboard it said that it could not have Core I7 just

Pentium 4, Pentium Extreme Edition, Pentium D, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad

dont see Core I7 :S could be wrong

[InternetSandman]

nope. you're right. the only asus mobo's that support core i7 are the P6T series and the Rampage II Extreme

[Profanwolf]

Having that much ram is a waste..

[masterjaniuk]

So this vid is fake thats why you ahve lol twice lol

[sesestro]

it's better to have intel core i7 extreme with 32 gb ram

[sgtzeon90]

O.o 32 gbs of ram?

[SonGanon]

pointless. The most is prob 8gb. 4 or gb is fine and will run the same as a 32gb.....also it depends how much your motherboard can handle

[boggerl]

i dont think ANY mobo can take 32 mb's.

i would prefer 4x 1gigs of like GSkill ram than 4 cheap 8 gigs

[darkspell117]

look on newegg dot c0m

[InternetSandman]

server mobo's support upwards of 64 gigs, sometimes 128 gigs or memory.

and why only four gigs? I'd go with 8 gigs of corsair dominator on a 64-bit OS

[InternetSandman]

first of all, the amount of RAM on a core i7 mobo has to be a multiple of three, because it uses triple channel memory. second, the most that any core i7 supports is 24 gigs, which is pointless when you consider the largest DDR3 stick is only 2 gigs, meaning a maximum of 12 gigs can be installed on every core i7 mobo so far (except for one mobo that only uses 3 slots instead of 6)

[chulk607]

That was interesting to read dude... im thinking of getting an I7, so this was useful to see it spelled out so clear, thanks.

[InternetSandman]

np

oh, and as a comment to the person who made this video, I have a couple of points to make

1. the maximus extreme hasn't had a revision for core i7 yet. asus only makes the P6T series and the rampage extreme

2. how did you get 16 gigs on a mobo as well as a core i7? core i7 uses triple channel, and the most slots there are on a core i7 mobo is six. this means a maximum of 12 gigs of memory, and the amount has to be a multiple of three

[chulk607]

Hmm, perhaps he meant to write 6 haha, then again.... 1 is very far away from 6 on a keyboard.

Random question, is this game any good to play? I know it looks pretty, but is it actually GOOD? I really hope it is, as when I get my new comp I'm gonna be looking for a new game to make the computer cry. I'd be looking to get an I7 2.93ghz, ATI 4870 X2 2048 , 6gb ram.

[chulk607]

Also, i do a lot of 3d rendering in 3dmax , would the above machine get TOO hot if im using it at 100% cpu (which rendering does) for lengthy periods of time if i were to overclock it to 3.66ghz,would that be dangerous? should i just leave it on the default clock speed or would it be fairly easy to compensate with heatsinks/fans etc?

I'm thinking of getting an Akasa AK-967 Nero Direct Contact Heatpipe CPU Cooler with Arctic Silver 5 Heatsink compound.... any help would be appreciated as im lost

[Lukeirado]

this is impossible lol

[boombaklot]

thats by far the sickest crysis vid ive ever seen i thought mine was good

[Colubedy]

you are sick.

[Younowkoed]

i7 cores and the motherboards are rather cheap, but the fucking tripel channel memory is fucking same price as the motherboard or cpu.

[tezzofino]

nah its not so bad actually, and u wont need more than 3GB, but yeah 6GB is a price-killah

[Younowkoed]

Im sure it wouldnt need to be that much, I think that sellers are just selling them that high to make a better profit, as its better than getting 2 dual sets or normal sets.

[tezzofino]

well dual channel is out and triple channel is in on DDR3.

When having a fast memory as 1600 on 7-7-7-24 timing, u wont need more than 3GB!

And for some reason the Intel i7 gives the full potencial for the DDR3 ram to work faster than ever. Now i realised how useless DDR3 with Core 2 Duo/Quad is.

i7 is the fututre.

[Younowkoed]

yea, I was thinking the same, most people dont actually know how ram actually works and what it does

[xdcmasterx]

i have 2 words to say.. hes rich

[tarkinfish]

LOL i think that that 16gb ram is a bit excessive, wouldn't you say?

[woodpusher637]

waste of my time...

[denSTYLnis]

how much was your "computer" ?..

[aldobu1990]

fake the new mobo only supports 12 gb asshole!!

[iStoleYourPC]

Um.....

The x58 series support 24Gigs of ram... if you didn't know.... 0_0

[aldobu1990]

coolbut it saids that he havee that mobo and the procesor,but isnt released on september 07 lol

[iStoleYourPC]

Oh... I see...

[CQweeB]

Someone please help. I have £5000 to spend on PC parts but dont know much about technical stuff. What stuff should i buy? Thanks! Oh and yes i have to much money i know so dont bother saying that.

[hyzane]

you should get an intel i7 3.2ghz and ddr3 ram

a good as mobo either 3 gtx 280s or 2 hd4870x2s and a really powerful power supply and umm...

basicly the most expensive everything

[dutchQueen]

Core i7 extreme 965

3 GTX 280's or what a month or two and get 2 or 3 GTX 290's

XMS3 Triple Channel 1600mhz corsair memory

or XTC gold

And a 1000+ watt PSU

[Hikayuhuy]

4870x2 is the fastest single card on the market but games aernt optimised for crossfirex resulting in even low fps in crossfirex then it is stading alone . games aernt optimised for ati anyway , kinda suck . but they're still pretty good .
