Crysis Very High 1680x1050 Radeon HD4870

Do read description.
I know the audio is trashed but I couldn't record with Fraps without ending up with a frame-rate way beyond unplayable - so I took the liberty to record it with a digital camera which end up little ability to actually play the game - that's why there's just small clips with very little movement in them, but they might give an idea of the performance.

And for the first time yet the videocard actually spinned up its fan a bit as you might be able to hear in this video.

22-35FPS.

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

if ppl get this with so weak cpu i wonder i get with my 4Ghz amd phenom II quardocre with this card lol

[BorkaBonum]

The processor doesn't really contribute with alot of performance if the videocard isn't up to snuff. And looking back I doubt my CPU was a mentionable bottleneck as I only saw a minimal performance increase with my now close to one-year-old Phenom II X4 940BE even at 3,6ghz.

@BorkaBonum

pentium 4 + 5750 = 10 fps crisis

quad core 8300 + 5750 = 50+ fps crisis

@ShervinGetOffMee

Bear in mind the Pentium 4 was absolute bullshit even when it was first produced, and single-core. And that Crysis is capping most videocards - which is the problem here. A buffed processor will benefit the performance - but only for as long as the GPU won't act as a severe bottleneck.

@BorkaBonum

lolz alrighty but p4 kicks ass :D its actually faster than my gaming pc right now, it just cant handle games, makes a fast office computer

[BorkaBonum]

@ShervinGetOffMee

Nah. It has a high clock frequency, but the muscles behind them is just complete rubbish. It got completely raped by Athlon 64 which set the standard of desktop micro-processors ever since. Like - a Pentium 4 at 4ghz got handed by a Athlon 64 at slightly over 2ghz.

Pentium 4 was always shit. Caught on due to high availability and reasonably low prices - and for businesses basically becuase Intel has always played foul.

@thefrenchdragoon

To show the native performance. As Fraps doesn't capture 1:1 realtime performance as it'll need a chunk of resources itself.

can u see a big difference in the graphics between a 1280x720 42" lg tv and a 1280x1024 18" monitor ?

which whould i use to play games on the computer im buying ? AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (quad 3.4ghz) Foxconn 6100M61-PMV (6x USB2.0, Onboard GeForce video) 4GB DDR2 800mhz (2x 2GB) 500GB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s 400W

in which of the above tv/monitor should i play? and in which will look better and would u guess how many fps i would get in each of them ? Thxxxxx

hope u reply =P

[yuriperiotto]

@IRGUYProductions thanks for the reply but now i know a lot about pc hardware lol, when i posted this i knew absolutely nothing ... and yeah .. it would run better on the tv because of the lower resolution but it wouldnt run crysis because that pc has a onboard gpu LOL

[IRGUYProductions]

@yuriperiotto

Believe it or not it would run better on the tv

@Shawek1337 no duuuuh than is your cpu a bottelneck but this combination is not a bottelneck :P

[Shawek1337]

@mennogamer559 if you read the comment i made a reply to you will notice that i meant that you cant max out any game with a $1000 graphics card if you have a crappy cpu :P

[mennogamer559]

@Ryanhelsby you can do it but your cpu is than the bottelneck

[mennogamer559]

@Shawek1337 no the cpu is not a bottelneck

[bluetoaster8822]

I have owned videocards from both companies, and IMO they both are good... All comes down to user preference.

[Shawek1337]

@harritaco i belive it depends alot on the CPU also :)

[harritaco]

just shows you dont need a $1000 graphics card to play with good graphics i have this graphics card and have no problems maxing out any game on it
