Hi
I put together my first rig in March 2007 ready for Crysis but its been unplayable for me to date so not actualy played it yet... frustrating but I want to play it at 2560 x 1600 rezzy on my 30" panel and it can't cope so I just put it off. Kinda hoped a patch would come in and it would be OK lol but that never happened. Anyway, one of my GTX8800's went bang so I am RMAing it. But it's got me thinking, if I upgrade my GPU's or one of them will I be able to play Crysis how I want to, and if so how long will this PC last me in terms of new titles? or am I better off starting again and if so what spec should I be looking at get it right on this panel. I just didn't buy the panel so I could watch it in low rezzy....
Im guessing my CPU isn't up to it also. So same questions regfarding upgrade apply to that too. Or am I better off saving the cash from upgrading and buying a new rig altogether.
Im sure you get lots of these posts and I apologise for that in advance but I really am torn between trying to fix this one up, which I don't know if it is a lost cause, and buying a new rig. Any thoughts?
My gear
Abit IN9 32X-MAX WiFi nforce 680 mobo
2 x GTX8800s 750mb GPU's in Sli...one gone pop
E6600 CPU
4gb Geil PC6400C4800MHz DDR2
Dell 3007wfp panel
Vista 64bit
Thanks for your consideration!
