what kind of fps would i get.

bad card, it is gonna get choppy in a full room if u dont have a good processor.

if u use an old pc, upgrade to a better cpu first like AMD x4 which is pretty cheap.

dont waste ur money. get a HD6950 or 560Ti for around 150.

i highly recommend u get at least a 560ti or hd6950.
u can save 100 dollars by downloading a win7 from torrent and get at least a hd6850.

with i5 fps 200+ but

why on earth would u buy a 300 dollars motherboard?

u can get a mobo for 150 dollars, or cheaper with combo deals:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=14&name=Motherboard%20Bundles


u only need 600 dollars for a good gaming rig for CF.

I don't know much about computers, i'm not really going to play only CF, this computer will be for entertainment/gaming. not hardcore gaming, like a gamer like crossfire but higher graphics (Example Crysis 2 on default settings)

get an Asus for around 150 or a combo deal with i5 instead of a 300 motherboard--total overkill.

save the money and get a SSD, everything will be faster.

My I get 200+ FPS runnin with a Intel Core I5 Ivy Bridge, 8GB, ATI Radeon HD7570 ?

RedOAK

How well would this setup handle CF?

Processor: AMD A10 Series A10-4600M
Core: 4
Speed: 2.3 ghz
Hard Drive: 1 TB
Ram: 8
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7660G (2gb dedicated memory)

Tell me why?

Mhhmmm

Processor issues.

I've had my computer roughly a year now it worked fine for months,But for the past few months I've been getting mousebugs. I have tried 2-3 mouses, I have tried different USB ports, I've reinstalled multiple times, I've cleaned my computer the best I can I've also ran McAfee scans.Now its just getting worse its also making my ping spike from 50 to 100-300, Making my fps drop from 150-200 to 10-30 at random times.. I checked in my task manager and my CPU says 100% when I am running crossfire, I think that is a bit too much it never used to be that high. I am just curious is my processor dying? Or is there something else wrong? My processor spec is AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 Processor 2.80 GHz
I have also tried lowering the priority/affinity in task manager and I have restarted and unplugged my router a few times, I have 100 MB speed.

If anyone has any suggestions or solutions it would be really appreciated,Thanks.

could be ur system is getting old. or some virus. try scan it with ad-aware.
or try a fresh re-install of windows.
upgrade to a new cpu later.

Hey,

Would this setup be better then? How much FPS do you think I would get:

Processor: Intel Core i5-3210M
Speed: 2.5ghz
Hard drive 750gb
speed 5400rpm
Ram: 8gb
Type: DDR3 SDRAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7670M (2gb dedicated)

ok so this is what ive settled on atm, can someone tell me if this would handle cf with a steady 60+ fps on minimal settings in a full room?

AMD Athlon II X2 250 Processor

Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB PCI-E Video Card

Corsair Memory Vengeance 8GB Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600 MHz 2x4GB

GIGABYTE AM3+ NVIDIA GeForce 7025/nForce 630a Chipset DDR3 1600 GA-M68MT-S2

Windows 7 Home Premium

i am mainly just going to play crossfire on this computer so i dont need a ridiculous setup but would this run crossfire with 60+ fps with the athlon x2?

or should i go with a AMD phenom x4 965?

Go for the Phenom II series, it performs way better than the athlon ones, and they do not fry after 2 years of use.

I'd go for an intel build tough.

AMD X4 965 is a good value. costs like 100 dollars.
CF and CS are CPU dependent games meaning a graphics card doesnt make a lot of difference.
If you get an i5 it will give you 200fps.

I'm not a gamer guy, i only play CF and Ragnarok Online (once a month?)
With my last Gateway laptop with AMD Athlon II M300 got around 70-100 fps (i was happy with that before my lap got destroyed).

I love to watch movies/clips on HD. 4gb of ram are good for me, i don't run heavy programs.

I find better the keyboard and design of the first laptop. I don't care about the difference of prices between the two laptops (30 USD not much).

I know the performance is a lot high from intel i5-2430M than the AMD A6-4400M, but i don't know about AMD Radeon HD 7520G graphics and Intel® HD Graphics 3000. ¿there is a significant difference?

74K37H47

I'd get the AMD one for low-end gaming and HD movies, just the fact of having one dedicated GC is good enough to compensate for the weird AMD processor e-e

get the 2nd one.

not much a difference performance wise. 2nd has more ram and hd space.
