Damn... nice idea but I need to run it on my new PC (which I can't atm because it needs some leads I don't have).

I can't believe I've already spend over £1200 on stuff because I bought a £16 copy of Flight Simulator X Gold. I must be going mad!

[Keetmanshoop]

What video card?

[SeeNoEyez]

Ah, I should have figured that was your dilemma.
Well, for future reference then, you can use that site lol.

I'm out of the money otherwise I wish i could build a comp... or a lot of my other hobbies/interests. Ugh.

Good luck Neo, hope this build goes perfectly well for you.

Crysis is actually fairly easy to run. Running it well, however, is another story entirely.

That said, you should be able to run this really really well.

[EG NeoMorph]

What video card?

Damn, forgot to post it...

MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Super-OC" 1024MB GDDR5

[VioletZer0]

Yeah, you're fine.

I can say with certainty that you will be able to run Crysis.

[EG NeoMorph]

Wanna know something funny... still haven't plugged the damned thing in yet... Me not well (as usual).

 

I hate winter! Especially this one... I also want to go see TRON Legacy ffs.

[EG NeoMorph]

This is weird...

The Steam release of Crisis: Maximum Edition is £25.
Download of Crisis: Maximum Edition from GAME is £25.
Buying the retail boxed version of Crisis: Maximum Edition from GAME is £12.

Confused!.... that £12 is with delivery included as well.

[EG NeoMorph]

Well I'm in the process of installing the software and patches etc and there is one thing that I am amazed at... IT'S SO QUIET compared to my Athlon 2800+.

Even the fans are quiet... not stressed it yet of course but I am really looking forward to using it now.

OH GOD... 61 Windows Urgent Updates...

[Keetmanshoop]

If you get a chance, let's see some photos of the beast!

[EG NeoMorph]

It's only in an Antec 300 case ( bog standard bottom of the range gaming case ) so it doesn't look spectactular.

The build inside is VERY tidy though. Overclockers do a wonderful job.

I'll try and get a few pics today but wait until I put together my test bed for the flight simulator... I'm going to be building an ATR 72-500 when I have finished (hopefully).

[Red Intensity]

That build will run Crysis with ease. Actually, it will max out almost any game you throw at it for the next 2-4 years. By the way, is there any chance within the next two years you will switch out your motherboard for one that has SLI?

[EG NeoMorph]

Err... this one does support SLI and even has USB 3 with 3xPower (whatever that is). For SLI I have to put the other card into the other light blue slot.

I know it has SLI because I just read about it... Actually I was thinking of getting another gfx card next week and hooking up the SLI.

Oh and it runs Flight Sim X at total max at about 40-50fps running the Flight 1 ATR 72-500 and that model is MEGA complicated... it even has to be started up from scratch using external power or from an APU which has to be started up before you can start up the engines. Hell, the manual has nearly 500 pages... I know I ask for immersion and boy does this thing give me immersion. IT'S FRICKIN AWESOME!

Edit: Damn... Never spotted that only one PCI-E is running at 16x... I was sure I read that I could do SLI somewhere... Nuts!

Edit2: What... It DOES have 2 slots that are X16 but one of them is running at x4. I don't understand!

It says "1 PCI Express 2.0 x16 , 1 PCI Express x16 ( x4 mode ) , 1 PCI Express x1 , 3 PCI"

I think I will ring up Overclockers tomorrow and find out if it does or does not support SLI. If it doesn't it should at least run another graphics card for extra monitor outputs for my simulator.
