System Builder Marathon, Sept. '09: $2,500 Performance PC

Page 12 of 18:

Benchmark Results: Far Cry 2 And H.A.W.X.

Far Cry 2 also appears CPU-limited in its first test set. Enabling AA switches the Far Cry 2 load limit to graphics power at 2560x1600.

H.A.W.X. isn’t much of a challenge for three HD 4890 graphics cards and at least these charts don’t appear CPU-limited.

... do the video compression using ATi Streem...

The Quality of video on ATI streem is shit on sticks and doesn't even support high profile.

The last build was a bit too odd for me but this one seems like a very nice chose of parts and on a larger screen set up makes a lot of sense the loss of i7 for AMD only build was a bit sad but the addition of those great SSD kind of makes up for me along with the nice chose of case and cooling. That case looks like it is very nice to work on.

The Corsair CMPSU-850HX is rated Silver, not Gold. Nice build, good results, great work.
