I don't doubt that one bit if you are talking about modern games... (if they're optimized to run on dual core)
for older games though:... what about quake 4, doom 3, half life 2 - they run on ultra settings on my PC. in 1024x768.
if i had the money, i would be running quad core, 8gb ram, crossfire.. but i don't so i have had to find a balancing point of what i'm happy with running stuff at.. and when i do come to upgrade then i will notice the jump in speed more than say someone who's gone from an 8800 to a 9800gtx..
I have had the biggest 'bang per buck' out of this machine, and in HEXUS reviews thats all that matters..:embarrassed:

Hmm, after reinstalling xp, and RMAing my dodgy hard drive, Crysis seems to be much less prone to crashing, hurray :D
Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!
Hey stevie, soryy if I sounded kinda rude, but I agree, I had a pentium 3 HP with 64 MB RAM, and I definitely see the improvement. Though, if I had my choice, I would get the $15000+ Mac Pro.:)

you didn't sound rude one little bit..
its just your statement just needed a little more 'expansion'.. hence my reply to it.
I don't know what i sound like on this thread, (i sounded more rude than you - sowwy) I was kind of in a strange mood yesterday and it seemed like the right place to posts crysis framerate stats...

I frequently tend to miss a 'point' in my threads though.. and after reading your other posts.. (only just read them by the way)..
I would suggest - just be happy with what you have now, not worth upgrading, wait for nehalem in nov/dec- i assume with £2000 to spend you could afford one. then come back and post all your 8 core benchmarks with whatever graphics are out then.. Nvidia gtx380 and ATI 5800 probably... and make everyone on this forum envious/annoyed of you..
if your wife wants the £2k for herself, then go out and buy a couple of £30" dell's.. they will look quite nice with your PC..
(psst - I have £6k saved up to do just this.. i'm a malicious person in digital life - quite shy in real life, but malicious in digital form.. tee hee)
and my point in my previous threads - why upgrade when your current PC can still run it..
that is all...
Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!
Alright thanks. I probably won't upgrade for another few years after reading all theses posts. My PC will probably let me run all games at least at minimum for a while.
