Supercomputer? Do you even know what a supercomputer is?

Wait don;t answer that, you obviously have no idea what reality is.


You do realize that I game at 2560x1600 resolution, don't you?  You think a normal computer is capable of that?

Doesn't have much to do with your computer and more with your monitor. Your computer can be as good or as crap as you want, without the proper monitor you won't be able to run your system on a high resolution.

I know I shouldn't take you too serious and any nutjob knows that resolution is all about the screen, the monitor, not the computer, but I'm just sayin' ya know.

Whats your point I Game at  1920×1080 With a single core amd 64 and maxed settings on a five year old computer. the video card is only 1.5 years, but I'm so awesome I can play Crysis maxed out on a Commodore 64 at 120fps

Except for that part where you seriously expect me to believe that your AMD budget-puter is any match for my powerhouse Falcon Northwest supercomputer.  YOu weren't serious about that part of course, right?

Seriously, AMD?! The GPU is nice I admit but the CPU does not compliment the rest of the hardware.

You should've bought a Intel Core I7 975.


My "piece of crap budget"-build blows your overpriced piece of thin away, just saying.

Intel Core 17 975 does the same as an AMD Phenom II X4 965, except that you pay twice as much for Intel as AMD. And while your i7 is only clocked at 2,6ghz original speed or overclocked to 3,3ghz speed, my AMD is clocked at 3,4ghz standard and can be overclocked to 4,0ghz. Games need a lot of gigahertz, which my "crappy" AMD obviously has more than your Intel. So yeah, you can guess which processor wins when it comes to gaming. I'll give you a hint, it's not your overpriced Intel i7. ;-)

But really, most "real" gamers I know who build their own computers slam AMD processors in their systems. They seem to have a little edge over Intel when it comes to gaming. However, Intel is more suited for multimedia-programs such as Maya and 3d Studio Max. Multimedia-programs need those extra cores, while video-games mostly need a lot of Ghz. So an AMD Phenom II X4 3,4ghz does a better job than a Intel i7 2,9ghz processor when it comes to gaming. And that's what my brother does, gaming.

Benchmark ratings dissagree with your assessment.

The AMD 965 is about two years behind the I7's.  Even an I5 is more powerful than your AMD.

Your fail processor must now bow down to my almighty Intel I7.

I just today assembled a computer almost twice as fast as your computer Busomjack, for only 2400dollars! :D I build it for my brother who wanted a new gaming PC.

Well, with this little monster I think he can play his games for at least another few years before he needs an upgrade.

For the PC builders among us who are interested in the specs of the PC I just build for my brother (tell me what you think):

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3,4ghz (quadcore)
GPU: 2x ATI Radeon HD5970 (crossfire setup)
Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3-1333 RAM (8GB RAM in total)
Harddisk: 2x 1000GB 7200rpm (RAID-0 setup)

And ofcourse some fancy extra's such as blue-ray burner and a card-reader. I'm not quite sure which motherboard I should slam this configuration on. Right now I've an ASUS M4A78T-E (with 2x AM3 socket with Crossfire and SLI support) in this current setup, but maybe one of you who happens to be reading this can help me out on the motherboard.


I'm partial to Asus boards myself. They work extremely well with AMD chipsets. Least mine always have. I think that's a good company to go with.

Also partial to Corsair XMS memory for RAM. They must be up to XMS3 or something now....

But you need a powerful computer to run games at that resolution.  A powerful computer such as mine.

Nah, not really. Trust me, even with just one ATI Radeon HD5970 you would already be able to run most modern games on that resolution with graphics on max. The crossfire setup really isn't needed for games right now. I just slammed that crossfire setup in my brother's PC so he doesn't have to worry about being able to run games for atleast the next 4 years. Sure, he could always slam a second videocard in his computer, but why do that later if I can do it now?

I'm not a PC gamer, so I really don't have to worry about all that crap. I just play my games from my lazy couch on my Xbox360, on a big full-HD tv-screen with a really nice Dolby Digital HD surround setup. I prefer sitting on a couch with a controller in my hand over sitting at a desk with keyboard and mouse any day, any time.

Dude, I run games using my university's server farm (perks of being in IT). My computer > yours.

I'm more worried about my PC. The plastic area the CPU heatsink hooks onto broke off and now I need to keep it on its side so that gravity can keep it in place. Other than that it works fine though.

It may be powerful, but to be a supercomputer it would have to be something like this...

I bet a machine like that will be needed to run Crysis 2 on ultimate settings.

Crysis 2 is running on CryEngine 3 which is optimized for consoles. My almost 3 years old PC will most probably be able to run it maxed out or at least close to it. :whistle:

Ahhh yes, "benchmarks"...

You do realize that these benchmarks only have little to do with how they preform for video-games, right?

Trust me, an i7 is a waste of monney. Right now, any video-game runs just as well on a Phenom II X4 as on an i7. By the time games have become so advanced that chips with the power and speed of an i7 are needed, the i7 is already outdated and most likely AMD will have a new, better processor that will fit in my AM3 socket, unlke Intel who thinks it's fun to chance to new kind of sockets every new generation, which means that if you have a mo-bo with AM3, it will become completely useless and unable to upgrade, well, unable to upgrade to Intel's latest chips CPU's that is. You could still slam a new CPU from AMD in it.

Wait and see. Within now and 6 months, Intel will already have a new, better CPU, with a new and different kind of socket, while AMD's new and better CPU will still use AM3. Trust me.

All that and you only got a 1000W power supply? You couldn't spend the extra $70?

Actually I posted this topic for some technical inquiry. Yeah, I bragged a little but I think a little bragging rights are due considering the piece of hardware I use.

you're not bragging, you're compensating. big difference.


At least I don't put my computer specs in my signature. 

because my computer specs are so great? i put that there so people can see the kind of computer specs dragon age can use. my computer is serviceable, but nothing to brag about. my intent was to inform people thyat you don't need a supercomputer to run dragon age.
