haha crysis runs like ease on my single core processor, i never seen any game move this fast in my life, it moves so smooth. No more pausing, no more stuttering, wow, just wow.

Crysis at these settings, i only tested it out , but i am sure i can run this on all high without trouble. Also i am using xp.

This would have been a better option .....

What are the other graphics settings at, other than Shaders on "High"? Are you using AF?

In the first 3 photos, at 1280x1024. In the next 3 photos, 1280x1024, but the one in the middle where i get up to 62 to sometimes 80fps is at 1024x768, same settings, but with shaders on high.

Largon

For the first 3 photos

Second 3 photos, same resolution but with everything on high

Also keep in mind, these 3 settings really killed performance( even tho i haven't tested them out yet ) Shadows, Post, and Volumetric which is all on low. Sound i always keep on low, because i don't hear any difference with it on high

pantherx12 · Sep 19, 2009

Nice to hear your moving on, as others have said you could of got the same for cheaper or better for around the same price. But if your happy then never mind eh.

I always put my sounds on high on crysis XD I can hear the difference.

MilkyWay · Sep 19, 2009

Glad you found a card you like, yeah of course there are other cards available but whatever.

I still cant believe the performance you get, those settings with those speeds on that spec is fishy, i cant get that on my system and no its nothing to do with settings default settings for me should smash games if going by your results.

RadeonProVega · Sep 19, 2009

Thanks
Here is a video i made recording at 1280x1024 all high to low

Its not to unbelievable he's got the FPS killers turned off, when I do the same I get much higher FPS aswell : ]

I wait, for fun to come

makes you remember his P3 with 512mb of ram that could play crysis too right

Melvis · Sep 19, 2009

What is your exact settings? id like to test the same on mine to compare.

Actually, I find it fishy you don't get better results at the same settings. With AA off and shadows and post processing on low, your rig should walk all over Crysis at 1280 x 1024.

Wow, $46.99? Cheap performance, and lotsa eye candy for your viewing pleasure.

Have you overclocked it yet?

He paid like $90 from WorstBuy because hes not old enough to use Newegg's amazing service yet.....lots of good things on sale on the 'egg; like the 9600GSO that was up for around $35 not so long back. :eek:

Hey its alright, the worst deal i have found at worst buy, was my friends video card died and we went to best buy, he needed a video card realy bad i guess, so we baught a 8400gs for fuckin 80 dollars, and it was 10% faster then the a8n sli fuckin intergrated grphx most pathetic shit ive ever seen for 80 dollars, that was 1-2 years ago. Best buy marks there graphics cards way the hell but by 300% sometimes.

If you now about all the vid cards on the market, you know that a HD 4670 shouldnt bee 150 dollars and the HD 4850 shouldnt be the same fuckin price LOL!!!!.

zithe · Sep 19, 2009

I have the same tower downstairs. Be careful with the keyboard. The cable in the back of it loosens and shorts it out. I have to buy replacement parts.

Aww. I would've sent you my X1800XT for 30 + shipping lol.

Well i just put l4d at everything on the hightest with AAX4 and AFX16, at 1280x1024 and it stays above 40 all the time.

Man, PCI really does suck compared to PCIe, but ok for light gaming. Anyways, crysis benchmarks later guys.
peace

LOL, this is what everyone has been telling you all these years. This is one small step to gamers, but one giant leap for u2konline! :laugh:

My HD 3850 AGP was a nice jump from PCI but limited by my CPU(and a slow Windows XP install) to get more dramatic results.

Next, I recommend taking another leap of faith and ordering from Newegg next time because I hear Best Buy is way overpriced and what you quoted paying for the GPU is proof again.

Installing a sound card will boost FPS even more.

Flyordie · Sep 19, 2009

Well, we have all offered this guy better alternatives...
I could have sold him an Antec EarthWatts 380W and an HD2600XT for $55 and he would have a PSU that could handle an HD4850+Quad Core with a slight overclock... AND a better card that the 9500GT

*BOO TO TROLLS*

TheLaughingMan · Sep 19, 2009

For a leap and I mean leap forward u2konline, come here to work on getting a brand name OFF your computer as a whole. We will get you something from Newegg, TigerD, etc. Something you brag about and scoff at people for buying a Dell.

I don't use video cards that requires a power connector. On another note, i plan to buy a 9800GT for my secondary rig when i get it, but the low power non connector one.

Steevo said:

I don't OC sorry, i really don't care about that extra what 2% 5% or 10% of performance.

84.99 total, and i am 27 years old now. I don't like shopping online, i rather spend the extra and buy it quicker and get home within what 10 mins.

Yea i just bought one, another sound blaster.

Aye it does take a bit of patience buying things online but if you don't mind waiting its great : ]

So now that you've upgraded to PCI-E, whats next? A dual core processor? Maybe a Sata HDD?

Seriously, what next would you upgrade in your system?

Well i am using a emachine single core amd le 1620 right now, but i am giving this computer to a friend and buying a dual core system, not sure which brand just yet, maybe a gateway or acer or compaq or something else. Later this year, i am buying a gateway quad core.
I am actually buying the dual core in a few weeks. Sometime late next month.
Plan to have the 9500gt and a 4550, and for the quad core a 9800gt and a 4670.

Before you say i can do better, etc, nah not really, with this single core system and the 9500gt i am seriously blown away by the performance. Bioshock for example , at 1280x1024 max settings, getting around 45-75fps easily. Tell you the truth, i am kinda shock at how games are running, i guess the 9500gt is better then i thought. or my system is.
