Crysis on a dual core E2180

yes, owning an xbox that hasn't died yet, consider yourself very lucky indeed.
just don't use the on/off button too much and you should be fine :D



there is absolutely nothing to be learned from an xbox, all one can basically do is read game reviews for "knowledge", unless you need to be up to date on the latest steering wheel / joystick news.

bah...no thanx.

Jasper, Falcon... All these names probably mean nothing to you... :p

Also, there various ways in which you can mod your 'box. A particular forumite over at the XBOX 360 forums is an engineering genius when it comes to modding his hardware. There's a lot more to the XBOX than just "steering wheels" and "joysticks"... :rolleyes:
 
i played crysis on all med settings on my e2140 (1.6mhz) but had 2 gigs of ram, and with a dodgy gfx card...only had lag on intense scenes

***BREAKING NEWS***

This just in... Thread gets derailed by freak comment - uncountable bystanders injured in the process. Unsure if the console will survive... PC's seem to be runing stable as completely upgradable.

Stay tuned for more.... :D :D :D :p

omg how did you do that?:eek:

Any way to the origanal question, you'll be able toplay but not maxed out. Also maybe get 2 x 1gig sticks of ram.
 
i played cryssi at 1400x900 but my e2180 was at 3ghz,was everything on ultra high,and played fine with a 8800gts 512mb,with warhead i just put texture on meduim because i just have 2gb ram,adn i was using vista then :),think with xp it will run fine
 
No you cannot play Crysis on max with that PC, no chance. You will need an E8400 at least, maybe 4870, at least 3 gb ram. But you will be able to play it, just with a lot of settings turned down. But you're fooling yourself if you think that you can spend so little on a PC yet be able to play the most demanding game in the world on max.

what CPU cooler are you using and what sort of temps do you get?
 
i used the stock cooler,cant remeber but it was fine on about 1.35v cant really remember lol (if i should od guess about 35c idle,50c+ when loading maybe less)using e8500 now
 
Im got the parts today...putting it all together over the weekend..will know on monday how well its works.im going to install windows xp 32bit. A friend of mine offered me a swop for my 0CZ gold 512x2 ddr2 800mhz for his HP mushkin (1gb*2) with a cash difference of $45.do you think its worth it?

I am going to overclock my cpu to 3Ghz and using a 19inch monitor...

I was told that GPU'S are like computers and do alot of processing, thats why they dont require that much processing power and hence they so expensive...
 
$45 cash difference? Wowza. :D

Are you going to have a powerful enough cooler and mobo to overclock it that high? I was only able to get my e2160 to 2.2 stable.
 
Overclocked my E2180 to 3Ghz last night - working on voltage to get stable. Getting Hyper TX2 cooler as running 60C under load

Let me know how yours goes Zamen

p.s. what mobo are you using?

Yip! but it's the stock cooler ...was testing to see if the CPU would get there before I spend on the cooler. Wouldn't want to waste a cooler on a useless CPU.
