Cf fps

hey guys, I currently have an awful comp, getting about 40 fps in scrims which doesn't help with me being in the competitive community at all. So I ordered a new, really good top of the line computer, and i'm wondering what a hexa-core 4ghz processor with dual nVidia gt580x video cards and 6gb DDR ram will get me in terms of FPS, as i have to wait 2 more months for it.

Comments

  • youll do fine but believe me thats extremely unnecessary and over priced. if you buy those same parts (however unnecessary they may be) and either built the computer or had someone else, you'd save roughly 40% of your $$$.

    i have:

    Processor:
    AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
    Memory:
    2048MB RAM
    Hard Drive:
    82 GB
    Video Card:
    NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS

    and i get 100-150 fps in 5v5s with the latest march and april patches providing fps boosts.

    this cost me about 750 in 2005- so please, dont over pay for something so extremely over the top.

    just a tip =\
  • He's rich, let him waste some money on others, so others can get rich too. :P
  • with that comp you might as well play something else lol
  • CF only uses 1 core.

    But 4ghz is still pretty good.

    You should get around 210ish 260?

    i heard that with the march patch they cf now can use 2- hence the vast fps boost.

    I have an AMD Athlon II x3 440 processor and I really wish I just went ahead and got the quad-core.

    I suppose for crossfire it doesn't really matter though since I've heard it only runs on one core.

    Nobody remembers that it runs on 2 now? *.*

    It runs on two cores now? That still doesn't help me because of I have three. ^_^

    And my graphics card is a Radeon HD 5770 which is one BA graphics card for it's price, I've never experienced lag on any graphics intensive game with this card.

    Seriously why doesn't crossfire update it's rendering engine to use the GPU instead?

    haha i've been waiting for a gaming computer for about 5 years, so this was money well worth spending. plus i want to play SO many more games on the pc other than cf, games that actually require a pc such as mine, like Crysis, Call of Duty, Unreal Tournament, and others like that.

    I built mine for... $800 including an HDMI 1080p Widescreen 20" monitor, tell me that's not great. :D

    i was a big time Unreal tournament player, first fps i ever played casually and competitively0 i'm telling you man you dont need a rig like that to run it perfectly or if you're going to go that route atleast build it yourself or find someone to build it, you save roughly 40% of your money...

    crysis is not a good game, people buy and play crysis purely as an fps stress test- that's all =\. but hey your choice and if you have the money to blow, go for it.

    You don't even need all that expensive of a graphics card to play the new cutting edge games on highest quality, you really don't.

    how?

    the monitor should cost 1/3 of that at least.

    not if you shop smart- seriously computer parts are very cheap individually- as a whole you seriously overpay for a computer prebuilt

    Lmao, 750? Built a better rig for almost half the cost and I get double your fps.
  • need a new comp and dont have too much to spend. gotta wait a bit to get it as well
