oh yeah...one more thing...u have 1GB DDR3+2GB virtual shared memory for win 7 or vista...is that enough? ;)

[mobius1aic]

@Andrejino 2 GB isn't virtual shared memory, it's just plain system memory, any video allocation for the system RAM is purely out of Win7's discretion for the OS itself. Vista and Win7 are known to allocated up to 2 GB of SRAM for the purpose of OS visual resources that otherwise are of no use to the video card. The GPU and VRAM only handles what it's being tasked with to render the general desktop hence why "128 MB required" is what you see as far as VRAM is concerned about running Aero.

[mobius1aic]

@mobius1aic As for general system RAM amount for Vista and Win7, 2 GB will work OK, but optimally you want 4 GB when it comes to gaming, though 8 GB isn't out of the question especially if you're into content creation.

I buy VTX HD 5570 ver.2 1GB DDR3 (2GB Hyper Memory support for Windows 7 and vista) .

Very good graphic card for low price :)

[mobius1aic]

@Andrejino Hypermemory? I though AMD had finally and fortunately abandoned that scheme a while back since it's already pretty cheap to load cards up with DDR3 memory modules.

Nice Video!

I have almost the exact same PC.

AMD Athlon x4 635 2.9 ghz

4gb DDR3 memory

Radeon 5570 1gb DDR3 Silent

At what FPS can I run Crysis at? Crysis 2?

[mobius1aic]

@MetaGamers2010

I sold this computer a couple months ago (it was upgraded beyond the 5570 after this video was made though), but IIRC it could do about 25 FPS average with Crysis on high. I wouldn't know how it would do on Crysis 2, as it's a bit more demanding on the minimum specs, but lower on recommended specs. I would imagine the 5570 would do okay at the "high setting".

[Andrejino]

@mobius1aic , honestly I test Crysis on XP where is no loaded hyper memory...almost 20fps was droped...and on windows 7 20fps was incrised.

So if u ask me...I will stick to this cards with hyper memory and play on windows 7 with better fps ;)

[jbennett8000]

I don't know how AMD managed to make such a good card for such a low price. Well done!

i dont have crysis yet cause when i went fom vista 64bit to windows 7 64bit, i lost crysis. but i think it shouldnt lag

[portal23555]
