Author Topic: New Gaming Rig  (Read 1038 times)

I am very happy with it considering that it is my first Gaming PC.
Here is the dxdiag...

DirectX 11 compatible.

I am currently downloading GTA IV.

Decent rig, what was the overall cost?
Tokthree makes a valid point that I missed. :p

Is it just me, or does that graphics card look like an integrated chip?
If it is then you will not be able to play GTA4


I have that exact processor.
Not sure if your graphics card is very good, but if it is, you may be bottlenecking it.

Sorry, I missed that, explain what bottlenecking is?

I think it's limiting the performance of the GPU because the regular CPU can't keep up with it

$800.00
You could have done better with $800.

Your best bet would have been saving up though.  The rig I just built can run seven(7) instances of Crysis 2 performance test(forgot what its called xD)

same thing vice-versa too

also why so much RAM?

I need to buy some more RAM. I'm at 4GB yet the rest of my computer is so much farther ahead. Thanks for reminding me.

Your processor cannot keep up with your GPU, so it may slow down frame rate.

First gaming computer, don't feel like putting together a computer just yet.

Before you make a new one or mess with your current, be sure to make a topic and get some feedback on what you plan to do.

Paid less for better, which also had a larger screen. I think you wasted your money getting Professional Windows 7. Most of the features are useless for the home computer user.
