yea i m wondering if the "recommended specs" are enough to do that on the highest stettings

if they arent i d like to see some "optimal" ones that we should go for

i had to reduce the settings in x3 after some time.... so that is kind of an important question^^

Since SETA is out we might be in the clear. Running the game by this scope with such visuals at x10 could be difficult

Well, a 5GHz CPU with 16 Real Cores, 32GB RAM and 3 NVidia GTX Titans in SLI will probably do it

3 Titans!?

that's just overkill... especialy the CPU

but i'll remember i said this when my 4 cores won't be enough.

Let me just confirm, I didn't think you could get CPU's that run at 5GHz without overclocking?

You are also unlikely to get 16 REAL Cores, 32GB RAM or 3 Titans in SLI either. It was a Joke...

Might be able to get that kind of spec in a year or so though.

I've seen a build with 4 SLI'd Titans in it before.

now all you need to do is just overclock that son-of-a-b* with nice heavy water cooling, wont get 5Ghz out of that, but you could push that baby near 4Ghz easierly..

If there are any problems with the cooling on that thing... look out China!

... Nope, can't upgrade my rig right now... too many expenses... maybe next year so... not Day One purchase for me

"If" I can get back to full time work I'm looking at the following:

AMD FX-8320
2x8 gig Mushkin ram

And a AM3+ motherboard for about NZ$200-230 mark.

Chuck in the HD 6850 + the HDD from the current rig, repair and re-register windows and it lives :3

(Not getting a new video card mainly due to the fact a mid range one starts at NZ$300 and only goes up.)

All up about NZ$700, and should do very nicely once the FX-8320 is OC'd

Though I'll probably have to grab a new PSU since I've got an old Liberty 500w. Only about 4 weeks to save up even on minimum wage

The "if" is if my depression doesn't make life interesting again, but it's going to take about 2-3 months to get back in physical shape. Plenty of jobs in Christchurch though, even for someone who hasn't been able to work fulltime for 3 years or not get in trouble due to depression symptoms getting in the way with part time work. And so has a somewhat poo recent work history.

Well - I just build myself a new computer a few months ago. It was not a dramatic update (recession is noticeable over here), but merely a "shift" update (my music computer running Cubase etc. "got" the somewhat older hardware, while my main computer was build new).

My main computer now has the following parts:

i5-3570 ( 4 cores at 3.4 GHz ) with Gelid Tranquillo Rev.2 cooler
2 x 4Gb-1600 (pair kit). Making 8Gb total memory.
GeForce GTX660 with 2Gb memory (MSI twin Frozr III).
1 x 1Tb and 1x 750Gb at 7200rpm hard disks
Antec One case with (replaced) silent Case fans
Cooler master Silent Pro 600W power supply.
MSI B75MA-E33 but that one will be replaced by a ASUS P8H77-V LE (because I wanted more PCI slots).

It is a real silent system. I hate noisy computers, so I am prepared to pay a little more for noise reduction (although some noise reduction does not have to be expensive - take the Gelid cooler as an example).

So - I think I can run X Rebirth at a somewhat decent speed...

Unfortunately, the current AMD Opteron/FX designs are not REAL cores in the truest sense because of the way the FPU is shared between two cores. It is however closer to 16 REAL Cores than the current Intel options I have seen.

[EDIT]Originally I was going to say 10GHz 32-Core CPU, 64 GB RAM, 4 SLI Titans, but toned it down a bit

BTW Counter to my previous comment (brain was not in gear at the time), 32GB of RAM is currently achievable with 4 x 8GB modules.

I should have kept the 32-Core and 64GB RAM to make the joke recommendation more obvious.

I might as well add to my e-peen and post some specs......

Asus Sabertooth z87 - 4670k - Alpenfohn K2 - Corsair 16gb XMS - VTX 7970 - Arctic Cooling 7970 - DGM 27" IPS - Crucial 512gb/128gb/64gb M4 - Xigmatek Elysium - Seasonic Platinum 860 XP2

I might upgrade the GFX, if the new AMD card that's due soon is decent enough.

Oh and finally a 64bit game \o/

ahddib · Post by **ahddib** » Wed, 14. Aug 13, 11:06

My PC won't blink an eye about running this. I would preorder now if possible.

Ravenhurst · Post by **Ravenhurst** » Wed, 14. Aug 13, 12:55

Wow - so it actually IS a pure 64-bit application??

That is amazing news! 32-bit is for a museum anyway

With hyper threading on my crazy Dual Xeons run with 16 cores - guess that should be sufficient

DDR3 1366
GTX 570 OC
Windows 7 64 Bit

...
Bring it on!

Closer to 8 REAL cores for the FX, you mean?

The FX-83xx has four modules which one could count as 8 cores if one overlooks the shared FPU. Not 16 even with a lot of goodwill.

Now there are Opterons like the AMD Opteron 6380 that have eight modules. But the prices are pretty hefty. Alternate.de offers the Opteron 6380 for 1049.- Euro. Which is probably more than most X fans want to invest

Yes, there is a 16-Core/8-Module Opteron, which I have mentioned before in another thread (and was mentioned again here in reaction to my intentionally silly 16 REAL core suggestion).

No-one was saying there was currently a 16-Core FX, the point I was raising that the 16-Core/8-Module approach (in the Opteron) is closer to a REAL 16-Core processor than any comparable Intel options (i.e. 16-Thread/8-Core Sandybridge E).[/OT]

But all this is really quite off-topic.

looks like I might need a new graphics card then - still running an old 1Gb GTX285 (670 MHz version) that I've had for 4 years now....

but the question is will I get away with the rest of the machine ???
i7 920 (no OC at the moment)
6Gb of corsair 1333MHz
on an ASUS P6T DELUXE V2
