Sky, the first and perhaps only thing I'd look to replace is the graphics card. Maybe the CPU would struggle with high TC, but I'd wait and see how it runs first.

I would wait but Christmas is the best time of the year to buy something I suppose.

Also March is a long time to wait personally.

Nvidia should be coming out with their new series before SH5 release, could see price-cuts across the boards for both camps.

But if it has to be now, a 9800GT or HD 4770 would make a good choice (the Radeon being a bit faster). Below that, and you get a lot less bang for the buck. Anything above you'll need to decide for yourself.

Only if you deposit a respectable sum in my bankaccount.

Yeah, that should do nicely.

Poser... I would think you can play SH5 and watch fullHD movies at the same time with that rig.

Indeed, a repository of wisdom, by our learned member. When one posts hi tech stats and plays dim, it craves a desire of smugness.

lol... Will SH5 use DX11? I hope it will...

One has to wonder if there will be poorer game performance on my XP Pro, since it's 32 bit and although I have 4gb only 3 is actually used!

It's not on the list of announced games to use DX11, so my guess is: nope.

Hardly anyone has the hardware for it anyway.

Good question.

Something we'll only find out when it's released, I'm afraid.

I have both Win7 64b and Xp 32b installed. Might as well make a performance comparison when the time comes.

And I hope - not.

Serious: SH5 is designed for XP or Vista so will not support DX11 and probably not DX10/10.1 (M$ not supports DX10+ for XP).

3 GB RAM is more than games need today - first: XP is still more popular than others and second: low-advanced next OS (Vista, W7) are 32-bit too - they use only 3.2GB RAM max.

But relax, nowadays the thin throat is power of GPU: you need card with about 500 GFLOPS (with 512MB) efficiency for standard resolution or 1000 GFLOPS (with 1024MB) for HD (I suppose) to play full detal SH5...

where would you get a dx11 card?

theres only a couple out there and those cost a bucketload of money and because of that nobody buys them.

add to that the fact that they are all out of stock because nobody wants them on there shelves taking space away from cards people actually will buy.

im not saying dx11 wont be great but its like having a tv before they invented electricity so what good is it?

Considering how fast they pump out the next level up of GPU, CPU and Buss Speed, I would bet that you would take advantage of DX11 in the next year or two.

I bet the DEVs don't have DX11 cards, but a bunch of people will have DX11. Windows 7

What do you guys think to my rig? Will my CPU cut it (juuust)?

E5200 2.5ghz
9800GT 1gb
4gb Kingston hyperx RAM 800 mhz
ASUS P5SD2-VM mobo

Task Force · 12-09-09, 06:36 PM

It should cut the mustard...

But I am saying... like some games, I wonder is sh5 will support DX 9/10/and 11... Ex crysis supports DX9 and 10 but 9 just is missing afiew DX10 effects...

rsslcs · 12-09-09, 06:41 PM

Thanks, that's a relief.

And BTW, some games have beenpatched prior to release to enable DX11, maybe that might happen with SH5. I can't see any use for it though.
