Purkake Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) The delay is allowing me to get some much needed upgrades before its release. These are the upgrades I am getting:AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3.0 ghz Quad Core) AMD 790GX motherboard Two Saphire Raedeon HD 4780s in Crossfire 1000 Watt Ultra X3 modular power system 6 1.5 TB Hard Drives Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro 16 Gig of RAM I will be ordering the CPU, Motherboard, and the 1st video card next week. After that I will be setting aside $300 a month to upgrade the computer til I have everything. You crazy, man! Also it is kind of a waste to put an AMD processor in it. It's like making an awesome chocolate cake and then putting mustard on it just because. If you need to take over the world/redirect an asteroid/download the internet you're set. Oh and at buying something with Fatal1ty in the name. Do you also burn $100 dollar bills? EDIT: If you are planning on getting Vista/Windows 7 there are some serious problems with X-Fi cards and the OSs.

Killian Kalthorne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am using Vista and a baseline X-Fi card. No real problems here.

Purkake Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I am using Vista and a baseline X-Fi card. No real problems here. Hmm, maybe Creative finally fixed it then. I remember there being a huge uproar about the compatibility issues. I have a X-Fi gamer card, but I only got it because my on-board audio died for some reason. I have XP so I haven't personally tested it. But still, Fatal1ty? Really? I'm sure you could get the non-Fatal1ty one for like half the price.

Killian Kalthorne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well, the Sound card is low on the list of priorities, but where I plan on buying it is currently selling it at $150. A non-Fatal1ty card of the same type is going at $100.

Intel is clearly superior at the moment. I love AMD as much as the next guy, but I'd buy a Core i7 over Phenom II without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AMD Phenom II X4 940 is going at $240 while its Intel equivelent, the Core i7 940, is going at $610. Both have the same base processing power with AMD being a third the price.

I wasn't aware of the pricing differences, no wonder Intel is taking losses if AMD can sell their stuff at third of the price. But you ARE going to overclock it, right? That's where the real fun is.

Both have the same base processing power with AMD being a third the price.Actually, the X4 940 is about as fast as an Q9550, at about the same price (around here). The i7 940 is faster in many scenarios. And yeah, overclocking's a must with this processor, as it's really easy to do and it should work at stock voltage and with stock cooler at around 3.4GHz Better cooling instantly rewards with better overclock results, but beware of high temperatures, because AMD set the max.

It's like making an awesome chocolate cake and then putting mustard on it just because.You don't know much about hardware, do you. I used to know, but I have gotten a bit rusty. The first Phenoms were pretty much destroyed by Intel, I didn't know that the new ones were that much better. I have done my fare share of overclocking. I got a cheap AMD Opteron 165 at 1.8GHz and overclocked it to 2.6GHz which seems to be the max. It has worked perfectly for 2 years. I don't mess with overclocking daily, though.

Killian Kalthorne Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 But you ARE going to overclock it, right? That's where the real fun is. Only if I need to. Four cores running at 3 ghz, I should have to overclock it for a good long time.

Morgoth Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Old news about the console ports. DA was supposed to come out in a month. But now it was postponed alongside the console versions to late 2009. Whatever. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Kalthorne Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Its a marketing ploy for a much grander world wide release. A multiplatform release can garner a lot of publicity. Bethesda has done it for Fallout 3 and Oblivion quite successfully, and now EA wants to share in that success. Of course that also brings it close to Mass Effect 2's multiplatform release.

deganawida Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Controls aren't really a concern for me, unless it's an action-oriented game, in which case I pretty much have to play it on consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
