anyways, really nice videos mate.

The i7 is really the best processor for SLI systems as it can offer something like 20FPS more compared to SLI on a Core 2 Duo E8400 (the most popular gaming processor upto now).

really pays off to have a great rig for a game like AoC.

Honestly my wifes PC is a E8400@3.0 with a refurbished EVGA 8800GT and it play's the game @1680x1050...

Mine's just future proof. well. for the next few years at least.

Great video of the siege! Just wanted to add that a small group of Imperium guild members helped on the Drakulos Archon/Acolytes side :)

That is an EPIC video! You did a fantastic job on this, and it really shows. Thank you one million times over for sharing it!! I just started 2 weeks ago, and have a level 20 Necro. I cannot wait to do something like this... Man that looks fun! Take care my friend!

Ahh the good old days. Chronan's choice to ally with Acos was a very good one indeed. Too bad not many left from those days.

[rlinfinity]

yeah they seem t oahve really optimized AoC since the early days.. on standrad hardware, it runs almost as well as WoW now tbh... u'll AoC medium settings will give at least same FPS as WoW high settings. So i'd say AoC is more optimized than wow as wow's graphics are simpler.

that said, on very high end games like Farcry 2, Crysis, there are various benchmarks showing the advantage of i7 with, say, a GTX 295 or dual GTX 285 SLI... its future proof like you mentioned

[rlinfinity]

yeah true. but GTX 280 is great-- but it is a bit oldish. its manufactured on a 65nm lithographic process. GTx 275,285 and 295 use the newer 45nm process.

the GTX 275 performs slightly better than the gtx 280, and the gap widens when both are overclocked, as the 45nm process allows for lower power consumption, lower heat and better stability at high clocks. GTX 285 is slightly better but considering the price difference, not really worth it, as all three cards peform very similar to each other.

[archolon]

I can't make the GPU call. But the GTX 280's are nice i hear.

[rlinfinity]

haha no i dont have a gt 200 series card. i asked cos i wanted some info... i'm thinking of getting an i7 with 1800MHz RAM and a GTX 275 though... Half considering the GTX 285 but that's £60 more for about 2 FPS better performance, esp at resolutions like 1080p. i wanted to know how the perf was. i might save that £60 and get a second GTX 275 later, OR directly go for a GT300 when it releases.

[archolon]

whoa turbo. What CPU do you have and what speed is it running?

[rlinfinity]

that's brilliant considering its on a 9800GTX if the SLI isnt kicking in. so should be awesome on a GTX 285 at that resolution.

[archolon]

SLI for AoC has been broken with this newest patch. It doesn't work well in Dx9 but works great in Dx10.

I'm running This siege in modified Dx9, resolution is 1920x1080 Vista64bit.

Settings max just particles on our raid and not everything.
