Hey guys, i just downloaded and played through the crysis demo with FRAPS on, heres my specs:
Windows XP 32-bit SP2
ASUS P5K Deluxe
EVGA 8800 GTS 320 AS3 KO edition (586 core, 1840 memory)
E4300 @ stock settings
2 x 1GB Patriot DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4-12
Corsair 620HX power supply
at 1280 x 1024 ( my lcd's default screen size, and what i like to game at) i get between 25-30 fps at all settings on high, except when in combat with 5+ enemies, when it drops to around 10 fps.
I've had my computer for about 6 months and i want to a SMALL ~ $300-$400 "refresh" to keep things smooth until penryn/Geforce 9 comes out.
Here's what i was thinking:
Vista Home Premium 64-bit
2x 1GB more Patriot DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4-12
Thermalright Ultra-120
Scythe S-Flex SFF21F
Arctic Silver 5
Total with tax anf shipping (all newegg) ~ $350 before rebates
The plan is to use the 64-but OS to get that supposed 20% performance boost, double the ram, and OC the hell out of the CPU. How big a boost do you think i can expect?
