Hey guys I just wanted to know if my pc will run pretty well on near maximum settings. I know its not the best pc and needs improvments but compared to what I used to have its a godsend.

 

Antec 900 gamer case

2GB RAM

Nvidia 9600GT - 512MB Memory

Monitor - 22' Highest Res 1680X01050 (DAMN NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL DOSENT SUPPORT 75HZ refresh rate so I have 60hz)

2.83 ghz 2 cpu

    What is your processor ,model, whats your RAM clock,are you running vista or XP (if you say ME...) what's your Hard Drive speed?

    Good case-it's the one I've got(although in hindsight, I would have gone with Xlcio)

    You are probably going to want to upgrade the RAM with at least another gig.

    The 9600 isn't horrid, but it won't run crysis on max.  I'd get either an 8800gt or a 9800gt(the 8800 still performs just as well, if not better than the 9800.  I prefer ATI myself due to cost limitations and game requirements. 

    Here's what i've got.

    Antec 900 chasis

    Western Digital 320gb HD at 7200 RPMs(I used to have x2 160gb 7200 in a RAID 0 but after it crashed, i've been staying away from RAIDs)  A raptor would be better, but I'm in a money crisis sooo.....

    x2 2gb 1066mhz OCZ RAM (going to replace with x4 1gb for increased performance)

    AMD 9850 quad core black edition OC to 2.8 per core

    HD Powercoler Radeon 3870, and I'll be either getting another 3870 or a 4850 to stick in crossfire.... Now here's why I like ATI (asside from price), SLI only supports linking th esame exact cards meaning if you have a 7800gt and you recently bought an 8800, you would not be able to link them, you would have to buy another 8800, whereas with crossfire, you can link any card Radeon 3450+, this saves a lot of money.

    It's almost 2010, and I am just not wiling to tolerate clunky graphics while being told that "gameplay is more important than graphics". That excuse won't wash with me any more. I expect my games to have both good graphics and good gameplay.

    first thing i would do if ur not going to buy a new pc is get some more ram.  2 just doesnt cut it anymore get AT LEAST another gig, especially if u have vista

    I see, OH! I just remembered I have money. I could use it on ram or something but will it make a noticeable diffrence? I have windows XP professional, Intel duo E665 or something, I dont know the other stuff. The thing is that my Parents got me this PC and well they think that this is the best pc out there ( and it isnt by far) and if I wanted upgrades for this pc they wouldbe pretty confused. Lol. Luckily I have some money of my own.

    well this game (darkfall) sounds interesting enough my comp is a hp something something.

    it has an amd phenom 9500 quad proc.

    3 gigs of ram

    vid sucks but its an 8500gt geforce by nvidia.

    so chances on running this game fairly good?

    been going over pc builds as of late.  Been trying to get a good build setup for fairly cheap.

    i can use my hard drives from this comp now got two 320 gb in it now the second one is empty nothing on it. so not sure the way im gonna go.
