damn........ what a confin man

 

[Anusha]

LOL.
However, considering what people used to tell, I'm relieved that it's this good. I first heard that you would at least need a Geforce 7 series card just to run it - not play it (if you get what i mean )

 

[Novindu]

hell yeah.... damn dey rapidly change da req's........dats shit....... how can we ppl afford??????????

 

[HishamZz]

one way to beat da time factor is to buy the highest performance components available in the market.. and be satisfied as it would be guaranteed to last prob a year or 2 depending on the technology... but hel.. datz need money too hehee..

Well, if you go for Vista, then take NO notice of Microsoft's claims. You need 2GB RAM to run Vista fine.

You know. Vista will even benefit going from 2GB to 4GB RAM. In XP, people might not even see a difference unless they game, going from 1GB to 1.5GB. The way Vista treats RAM is completely different. It will use RAM as a cache. If you have 1GB RAM, you will have 0MB free physical RAM. Same if you have 2GB. No change for 4GB as well. At least, it's using the RAM without wasting it by not using them.

I don't think that's a good thing. Think about this...

Geforce 7950GX2, which is the fastest single card, is available for Rs.75,000 at EPSI. My new card only cost me Rs.9,500 which is only about 4 times slower. Now, that 75,000 card will be superseded by even a Geforce 8600GT or at least come close to the performance. It should not cost more than US$200 (but no idea how much it will be in Sri Lanka). Say it will be Rs.35,000. If you buy that card in another year, you have got the same performance as the 75,000 card but only 1 year late.

My new card (X800GTO flashed to X800XL and overclocked further) can play almost every game at max details at 1280x960. Say I'm getting 30fps in a game. 7950GX2 can't give more than 100. Ok, say it's giving 100fps. If you disregard the framerates, with both cards, you can play the game at max details without lagging. So why pay Rs.65,500 more for 70fps which is not noticeable for real world game play?

Best thing is to get a video card which is in the mid-range, and upgrade it constantly (say, every 12, 15 or 18 months). You still can play almost all your games with lots of details, and you are spending less. Remember, also inflation will result in lower money spending in another year's time. 35000 today will have higher value than 35000 next year.

So in the end, you are only spending half the price, and still getting a marvellous gaming experience.

Oh I forgot. Remember, 7950GX2 is only DirectX9 card. 8600GT is a DirectX10 card. In Crysis, DX10 card will shine a lot more than the DX9 card. (Crysis is natively DX10).
