Running Crysis on Very High everything is finally affordable!!!

I am running an asus p5k with 8 gigs 1000 mhz ddr2 ram, 3.5 gig core 2 duo, 1 gig radeon hd 4980, 700w psu, and a 7200 rpm hdd. I got all that for $550 along with a 1680x1050 acer 22" monitor included in that $550. PC gaming is not as expensive as I was led to believe. Glad I had a nice stockpile of games I couldn't run that I can now take advantage of (Crysis, Crysis: Warhead, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, L4D, L4D2).

yes...NOW.

But what about when crysis was released? how much did it cost to build a computer to run it at highest settings, 60 fps, and a decent Resolution...? alot.

Nice job. AAllxxjjnn

On a serious note, my PC is so outdated that it has troubles running source engine at medium. I've been to afraid to spring for a new PC in fear of the expenses, hopefully I can get a rig as good as yours for cheap.lonewolf604

550 for all that? why dont you post everything in detail how much you paid for each part.

what about Windows? that alone costs $200 dollars.

and dont forget to include the case.

Erm... Windows costs around $100CDN, and if you're a student, as low as $30CDN.

Cases run about $30+.

TC said nothing about running maxed AA and AF. Just every setting on Very High (graphics settings), which I do on a 4870 at 19x12 and get 30-40FPS.

Most serious PC gamers can turn all the settings up on affordable hardware, the problem is doing it at a decent resolution.

Personally I would rather turn the visual settings down to keep the resolution up, I value image clarity more than extra eye candy.

[QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"][QUOTE="kidcool189"]ya, but the qustion is if you're actually enjoying and playing through the game at those very high settings...maybe, maybe not...i know i wouldnt be with that rig, fps in the 20's is not all that fun ;)lundy86_4

Or, I have a heavily overclocked card and CPU. Heavy, heavy firefigts, I get a dip to mid-low 20's, but the vast majority is run at the FPS stated.

At those resolutions (1920x1200), AA becomes less of a concern. You could probably get away with turning it off altogether. AA is mostly important in the lower resolutions like mine (1440x900).

Agreed. On Crysis I either run at 2xAA for that resolution, or mostly just none at all. The difference isn't too notable for the hit in performance.

Think what you want :?

However no, i'm not.

Please show me how you made this PC for only $550 and where from? Including a monitor no doubt, I find this very hard to believe.

Well I'm jealous. Really need to update my whole entire rig but I just recently got a ps3 last Christmas.:P

Dr_DudeMan

That still is expensive. Thats almost double the cost of a ps3

Most people that say they maxed out Crysis are running the game at 20-30 FPS especially at very high. Here's Cysis Warhead running at 30FPS with a 4890 at 1920x1200 with gamer mode settings, that would he the high settting if it was Crysis. Note Warhead runs much better than the original Crysis, so I would expect the game to run at a lower frame rate than than Warhead. I'm not saying 30 FPS is bad I just wish the game would keep a constant frame rate like most console games do.
