What do I need for a reasonable PC?

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

What do I need for a reasonable PC?

Post by MiNi »

Well, I have been at this for a while now. But lets face it, im stuck. As some of you know, I have a desktop. Its pretty good, but it isn't good enough for what I need. Im looking to build a new computer and go racing with it. But here is the overlook.

What I have:

Memory: 3.00 GB
Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @1.66GHz - 1.67GHz
System Type: 32-Bit operating system.
Video/Graphics Card: GeForce 8700M GT/PCI/SSE2

What it can do in MXS:

- Play about 15 players with NO MODELS OR SKINS at 80-100 FPS on maxed settings, no roost.
- With Models and skins it could go to 8-10 players depending on the track and the models being used.
- 100-120 FPS max settings with roost and everything on single player.
- Lowered graphics can run about 20 people (depending on the track) with 30-40 FPS.
- Lags when starting up the game.
- Runs out of virtual memory easily sometimes.

What I need a PC to do in MXS:

-Graphics card that can play about 20-40 players with models and skins around 100 FPS on maxed settings with roost.
-Processor that can play any physically demanding track with no lag (ex. glen helen, hangtown max res, conifer gultch, etc.)
-No Lag, period.
-Have a lot of virtual memory for demanding textures, skins, tracks and models.

Budget:

$600 - $850.

If anyone can hook me up to parts and prices that fit my needs and budget, that would be awesome.

Thanks.

Do you have those specs? If so how does it do for you?

No I don't, but if plays Crysis 2 well, I'm fairly confident it will handle this just fine.
