I am thinking of buying this computer, Would this PC run call of dutys on max settings? Crysis 2 on medium/high settings? etc (Or what settings would they run on?)

Answer 1

This computer is already outdated but that processor is a very good choice for gaming. Even though it is older, the 955BE is still the best CPU for gaming, even better than the 6 core AMD processors. In everything else though the 6 core will outperform the 955BE. The 4870 video card is a bad choice in my opinion. If you want to save money and get something older, at least get the 4870x2, or better yet, get 2 of them and crossfire them. An nvidia GTX 400 series will look a million times better though and get much better framerates. Stay away from the 450 though, get at least a 460 or 480.

Answer 2

It's okay, the HD 4870 is outdated now, probs equivalent to an HD 6670. Probably play games on medium settings. But upgrade the motherboard to an AM3+ board, since AMD's new Bulldozer cpus are rumored to come out tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, definitely before December.

Answer 3

Crysis 2 medium to low, Call of Duty's medium to high. Dont expect much multitasking while playing games though and you really dont need that 1000w power supply half of that would do.

Answer 4

It would run the COD games on max but, don't expect to run Crysis 2 on anything more than medium

Answer 5

Un buen joystick hace que disfrutes mas con el juego y con los joystick comprados de sitios web seguramente los vas a hacer, había comprado un par de veces joysticks de sitios web porque son un regalo perfecto para los niños más grande pero el ultimo que he comprado ha sido para mi marido porque ha encontrado un juego que le gusta mucho, el envió ha llegado a tiempo y el joystick es una pasada, fácil de instalar y no ocupa mucho lugar, los dos estamos muy encantados con la compra.
