Gears of War HD4870

Highest in-game visuals, 1680x1050 resolution.

Recording at 30-40FPS (Fraps 2.9.1)
As recording is CPU-heavy performance is reduced when recording, especially since the Unreal 3 engine simply utilizes every itch of the computer included the CPU power, which ofcourse is just great.

When not recording it's running at 60FPS solid, which is simply awesome as the game is extremely well playable even at 30FPS.

Configuration concludes:
MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX/SB600
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3200mhz
2GB OCZ 860mhz RAM (CL4-15)
Sapphire Radeon HD4870 512MB GDDR5
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
Creative X-fi Xtreme Gamer
Western Digital Caviar 500GB

wow, you mean, if the graphic-card is not powerful enough, the unreal engine just uses more of the cpu, if avaible, to get more frames?

wow, that's what i call efficient usage of pc. :)

some games run with a 2 ghz cpu but need a geforce 7800 GTX or something to run... <.<

fuckass...

i love that game! :)

gore all the way xD

Hmmm? The good thing with the Unreal engine is how it utilizes next to all the cream out of your system and make the performance actually make up to it.

If the hardware isn't bottlenecked too significantly (such as ages processor and a solid videocard or vice versa) it will stress the system to the maximum, but it will never compensate the lack of processing power with extra load on the videocard.

It's that kind of complexity that makes consoles shine, you don't need to think about it.

quick question, does gears of war STILL require xbox live payments to play it online? (fucking bs)

[BorkaBonum]

On Xbox 360, yes.

On the PC, no.

Windows Live is now a free service in it's lack of interest from developers and users.

Xbox Live (Gold) will at this time continoue to have a fee.
