The title says it all What computer hardware should I buy to play CryEngine at very high graphics?
What's your budget
i7 980X 4 GTX 480s
[QUOTE=reapaninja;23029028]i7 980X 4 GTX 480s[/QUOTE] Or dual i7s with that EVGA dual-socket mobo.
[QUOTE=JWJ;23029277]Or dual i7s with that EVGA dual-socket mobo.[/QUOTE] Dual i7 980X
Why i7 980X's when you can OC some high-end xeons?
[QUOTE=Tools;23030060]Why i7 980X's when you can OC some high-end xeons?[/QUOTE] No.
is this just a question or are you really planning to get one
[QUOTE=Tools;23030060]Why i7 980X's when you can OC some high-end xeons?[/QUOTE] Are there xeons better than the i7 980X?

[QUOTE=hTux;23029843]Dual i7 980X[/QUOTE] The CPU is rather a problem than the GPU. Crysis runs perfectly on very high on low resolutions on my Core i5-750. Only my 4890 is the limiting factor.

i can run far cry @ 60+ fps on my i3 + 4770 build [editline]05:43PM[/editline] vhigh dont listen to these guys, they're all stupid ,, and trying to trick you.

it was a "joke"
5970/i7 980x/Quad-Channel DDR3 RAM. This is just silly.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;23033689]5970/i7 980x/Quad-Channel DDR3 RAM. This is just silly.[/QUOTE] i7 uses triple channel and 4 480s > 1 5970

[editline]05:26PM[/editline] Oh I assume this thing has plane-turbine sound-quality and moves your PC forward if you won't weld it to the floor.[/QUOTE] Whatever, why not get dual 980X's anyway [editline]06:03PM[/editline] [QUOTE=reapaninja;23033774]i7 uses triple channel and 4 480s > 1 5970[/QUOTE] Also 4 480's > 2 5970's IIRC
If money isn't a issue try to build a time machine and travel into the future and buy a shit cheap computer and take it back to our time. Or just get a i7 or phenom 2 6core and buy a single gtx 480 not like that will have any problems running it.

also make a 24/7 liquid helium loop

[QUOTE=hTux;23033917]Whatever, why not get dual 980X's anyway[/QUOTE] Because then I'd need to have the stock-cooler and fan which is loud. I like my [url=http://www.pcgameshardware.de/screenshots/medium/2009/06/EKL-Heidi-21.jpg]Alpenföhn Heidi[/url]
Get liquid-nitrogen cooling... Shouldn't be a problem.

[QUOTE=hTux;23033917] Also 4 480's > 2 5970's IIRC[/QUOTE] Yep. The scaling on crossfired 5970s is rather crap, iirc.
[QUOTE=hTux;23034041]Why not just buy the most expensive computer availible in the future, [I]if money isn't a issue?[/I][/QUOTE] Well, I know he said money wasn't an issue but that time machine is still -really- expensive....
Isn't it impossible to have 2 980X's? Why not get 2 8-core Xeons and 2 5970s overclocked to 1Ghz core? that would be the best. Would explode from heat, but it would be the best. Or find a way to connect 4 5970s together
[QUOTE=gparent;23038679]Well, I know he said money wasn't an issue but that time machine is still -really- expensive....[/QUOTE] use the time machine to invest in microsoft or something [editline]10:33PM[/editline] or win the next lottery, that's easier
