Being able to run Crysis, Fallout 3 at Full Specs?

ice_glitch · 11-12-2008, 03:42 PM

I'm building a new system...

2.4Ghz Core 2 Quad
nForce 780i Motherboard
4 GB Ram
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
2 EVGA GeForce 9800's for SLi
2 250 GB Seagate SATA drives
22" LCD Acer up to 1680 x 1050 res.

and this may seem like a noob question, seeing as i haven't ever done SLi before or had much experience with the Core 2 Quads, but do you think I will be able to run games such as Crysis, Fallout 3, BioShock, or Team Fortress 2 at full specs on DirectX9? (1680 x 1050 res. full antialiasing etc.) And if possible, DirectX10? My system should be easily overclockable, and i was hoping for full specs on these games.

get a really fast dual core this one can be overclocked to 4ghz on air

and one gtx 280 is about 10% - 30% faster than 1 9800GX2

I already have the parts. I don't need to be told which to buy. And you didn't answer my question.

you should be fine with TF2 for sure, i run at full specs and only have a single graphics card, but everything else is mostly similar.

I would say your should be able to run everythinng on very high except crysis which is always a monster resource hogger

I just bought a GTX 260 OMG CRYSIS LOOKS AMAZING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you would probably be able to play every game on highest except for crysis, because a quad core oc'd to 4ghz with dual 4870s barely touched ultra high with playable framerates
