Building a pc

[trueblue1872 2]

I really don't get what you're on about danny. The 8800 is a fucking beast of a card. I've went through tons of GPUs over the years and it has to be one of my faves.

Fast as fuck, cheap as hell and will easily run arma 2 at high levels as i play it myself.....

Shame arma 2 is pretty crap tho.

I'm actually thinking of taking it out of my older machine and putting it in my newer one as the my other GPU is fucking shit in it.

crysis full candy though? Even my pc struggled with crysis at times towards the end of the game

SLI/CF, quad core and DDR3 is crysis full candy.

Expensive and not really worth it. I made the mistake on spending 3 grand on a build a few years back. Never again.

8800 runs crysis very well. It will never run it full candy. But for that extra wee bit of shimmer in the water and so the gap in price to get that is unbelievable and really not worth it in the end.

I also wasn't even talking about crysis. I'm talking about the lack of respect for the card and what it can actually handle.

I know you werent but Jama was talking about the 8800GT running crysis full candy, is it the gt or gtx your talking about?

[davy1shoe 63]

danny, your talking absolute fucking rubbish, i have crysis AND sims 3 and both run on full candy no problem. to say the PC i have is web based on a basic office system is absolute crazy and you know it.

The big Q is what size is your screen?

I have a water cooled set up running 295gtx with a i7-280 running just below 4.0.

My reason for so much power is my 30 inch screen its the best you can do to make gaming 10 times better but you need the power to run it at full rez.

1: I didn't say the 8800 was shit. Why are people attributing that quote to me.

2: Will it indeed? You do realise high end rigs struggle to run that game?

Whatever man, with reasoned debate such as this, clearly I'm outdone by a superior intellect

You can't run crysis on full eye candy with 2gb of ram the computer would melt

No, no, it's running smooth as butter for him on his calculator-esque powered PC.

btw, I am in no way dissing someone with a more moderate PC, nothing wrong with that. I am, however, pouring cold water on claims it could run games with ease which high end rigs famously struggle with.

But that all said, I suppose if you put the settings to a particular level, dismiss certain graphical absences (such as resolution and FSAA) and play at 10fps which would be vaguely tolerable under duress, you could persuade yourself your rig is running the game no sweat.

It's an inanimate video card, not a nobel prize winner ffs

I love how my name-dropping of Arma 2, Sims 3 and Crysis has seen all sorts of angry objections

LOL whatever danny there's no point in even arguying it as you always have to have the last word.

I run Arma 2 on my 8800gt, all at high @ 1680 by 1050.

But whatever you obviously know better even tho i'm actually sitting here playing it on my 8800GT pc and looking at the video settings right this very min.

But yeah. It doesn't run on high end pcs so i must be bullshitting.

Maybe they're meaning the 1500 AI firefights? People that have to OC their PCs to even get it too run? Maybe that's it ehh?

Then yeah my PC wouldn't run that.

I respect any good quality componet that i have ever come across in my life. Be it at my work or in my PC. Why do you have to use the comment as a piss take?

8800 is a very solid card. One of the best i've ever used.

[ExiledWeegie123 1,275]

ive got a 8800gt 3gb ram and a 19in lcd and i can tell you now,ive seen way better pc's than mine struggle for anything over medium on crysis,i run it at 1440x900 res all settings medium no aa with motion blurr down to about 1/4 way and i get about 30 fps,and i know for a fact that 2x8800gt's wont even run it at very high settings (dx10)with any aa on so any of you sayin full eye candy on this and that are talkin out your arse with an 8800gt

for once i agree with danny

[RyanMac 185]

When Crysis came out no GPU could play it full including the 8800gtx and even now high end rigs struggle with it.

It doesn't matter if its a wee bit more reflection etc, it's the benchmark and isn't able to run it on full at a good fps.

[FlippinEck 3,737]

Id like to think Id have a bit more luck if I had the 1GB 4870 towards the end but I still got it played and enjoyed it

I struggled with my 8800gtx in sli but also the drivers were very bad for ages to get Crysis running good.

I cant get ammar 2 running right on my pc as the wee guy just keeps running forward havnt a clue whats causing unpluged keybord mouse etc still does it so i cant even play it long enough to enjoy it.

Because it was absurd. And to respect inanimate objects in their own right (as opposed to not vomiting on a bible in a church or smashing a vase in a museum) is absolutely laughable.
