Will my PC Run this? What CPU/GPU to get? What settings? System Specifications.

Rammstein:

Do you max out everything, including AA? Just curious what is possible on current hardware....

Has anyone tried arma2 on the core i5 750(socket 1156)?
It should be as fast as the core i7 920(socket 1366) when it comes to arma but I'd like to see some benchmarks proving that first...

i´ve bought a new computer some days ago (its beeing build right now... well at least on monday ) and i´d like to know if my hopes are somehow eligible...

specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 945 4x3.0ghz
4092 mb ddr2-800 ram
1tb sata 7.200rpm 16mb cache hdd
Geforce GTX 285


i´ve hoped for arma 2 to be playable with mid-high setting, 2000-4000m viewdistance AA 2x or 4x, fillrate 100% and that at 1920x1080.


that pc´ll run on windows 7 64bit.

everything ive read so far points out to the cpu beeing the most important part.

has someone any experience with overclocking that cpu type?
i´ve ordered it with a "better" fan with a little overclocking in mind, but i´ve never done something like this...

and i dont want to burn my old pc while i´m waiting :P


sorry for my terrible english.

try to avoid the upgrade voucher option guys.
when I had the xp to vista upgrade option it was a royal pain in the arse trying to process it and in the end I just couldn't be bothered and left it.
It's not like you just post it off and they post you your upgrade back no questions asked. It would be easier to just get by with an older OS until 7 is out, or just wait the month or so until it is out.

What do you think about this?
SLI Nvidia GTX 260 (896 Mb each)
Quad-core Intel Q9550 (2.83 GHz).
4 Gb DDR2 (800 MHz)
1 Tb Sata (120Mb/s)

I hope it's good, I bought it this week

It's good, but if you had waited 3 weeks you could have bought a graphics card that is cheaper and faster at the same time.
And the new Core i5, which will be cheaper on the long term due to upgrade possibilities you don't have now.

Ah, cool.
It's not a problem. The store I ordered it from hasn't sent it yet, so I have time to change it!

I've just ordered a new computer:

AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE 2,8Ghz

HIS Radeon HD 4870 1GB

Asus m4a78 pro mobo

4GB Corsair xms2 RAM

320GB SATA2 HDD


What settings do you think I'll be able to run ArmAII in?

[anessen]

OK so I can just about play this with my current system.

AMD Athlon 64 6000+ X2
3GB RAM
nVidia 7950GT 512mb
Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Windows XP SP3

Running mostly minimum apart from texture detail. Getting about 30 FPS in empty areas with nothing going on. Down to 15 in the cities. What would be a good thing to upgrade?

Wouldnt have bothered with the SLI cards, but it's good asides from that.
