^^Really!? How are the physics? When are you gonna upgrade?

 

[comp@ddict]

Planning on this:

790GX + SB 750 Motherboard
Phenom II X4 940 B.E.
4GB DDR2 800MHzRAM(4-4-4-12 timimgs)
HD4870 1GB GDDR5(most probably palit dual sonic)

The PhysX is very good, and the EA done pretty good job by making such low Requirements to play the games. Thanks EA. I played the game at medium settings with no AA @ 1024x768. The game is a pure eye-candy and the city is perfect. I expect Rockstart to choose such a city for the next GTA Installment. They sculpted the game very well. Playing the game w/o controller is somewhat difficult. Otherwise, the game is a must-play for all.
Man, dont wait. Got it and play...

April = 200% pakka

Waiting for HD4870 1GB prices to come to affect. Shud be 179$, roughly 11.5k here.

And then I'm trying to find out about a low latency DDR2 RAM as:
4-4-4-12 DDR2 800MHz performance is 16% better than 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800MHz.

I read this a long time ago, and will keep this in mind to get good, low latency ram.

Guys, anyone know how to OC AMD Phenom II X4 920 with Gigabyte MA78GM-S2HP?? Please help me. I want to tell to my yet another cous.

 

[comp@ddict]

Phenom II 920? You can't expect much.

Due to Bus limitation o'course. That's y, when an AMD procc for OC, it shud be a B.E.
but it goes 3.4GHz I heard or 3.6GHz as well.

 

[NVIDIAGeek]

^No need shell out extra for "B.E." He just wants to touch the 3.0GHz margin. And it does. That's enough. He changed the proccy from Intel C2D E7300 to AMD Phenom II just to play GTA IV.

 

[comp@ddict]

Then it's okay^^^ Only 4GHz and abve enthusiasts req. B.E.

 

[NVIDIAGeek]

^Oh! Are you "enthusiast"???
