Who's getting Vista for this?

[swindle]

Having an 8800 means i can run in Dx10 if i got Vista. This game looks fuck'n wicked on full GFx.

Anyone getting Vista because of this game? I may end up doing it.

[GhostOfGallipoli]

im thinking of it

[Equity]

i will, but am also waiting for the 9000 series cards

[Plasma]

Already running vista. So its just a case of when the 9000 series cards come out.

[Menial]

Hopefully one of the 'crack dx10" dudes manage to crack dx10

[BROX]

Proabably not, the difference in graphics doesn't justify it for me.

You have seen the crysis dx9 vs dx10 vids right ?

[Randomized]

Don't really want to install vista just for a game but I know that eventually I will install it. Will wait for the dx10 crack for xp to come out (if it ever does).

[SLAYER!@#]

I'm duel booting so I get the best of both worlds (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate). I still prefer XP but Vista as not as bad as people make out.
Only 10 days until Bioshock's Dx10 goodness is out. :)

[BROX]

You have seen the crysis dx9 vs dx10 vids right ?

Yes and the difference didn't really impress me, it looks great on both so i'll upgrade when I absolutely have to.

[switch.]

I wont be, i don't like what i have heard about vista so far and the game looks awesome on high dx9 settings. besides i don't play a game for the pretty graffics i play it for the game play.

im saving my money up for my new car

So your not going Vista?

[wrench]

i will, but am also waiting for the 9000 series cards

second that

the second or third gen of dx10 cards should prob be out by the time i do a big upgrade (mid next year)

[Equity]

ill be getting a gaming laptop as am in korea teaching soon, will hopefully get vista with that and will be able to use it on my desktop that i buy when i come back to nz. no point buying a desktop over there as would be too big to travel with.

[Obbles]

Just dont go to that asian loan shark dude that was plastered all over the news, $70 a week in interest LOL

Ive already got Vista installed just have to upgrade my CPU and board closer to the time

[swindle]

What are you currently using?

[Obbles]

CPU?? 4600X2 wanna go Intel

[1/2Pulse.]

Pfft sif intel im going tog et a 6000+

[Plasma]

Pfft sif intel im going tog et a 6000+

Thats what im getting soon as part of my upgrades.

[KiLL3r]

Pfft sif intel im going tog et a 6000+

crysis is developed with intel so performance is likely to be more optimized for their hardware

[1/2Pulse.]

intel shmintel hmm Just means I have to get a new mobo

Already getting a new Screen and Gfx card for this also CPU

[Obbles]

Im getting that Asus board that supports DDR3 and has a northbridge with water cooling inlets..and possibly the Q6600 or some new chip they're bringing out with a 8mb cache

[1/2Pulse.]

Oh that thingy I hate asus mobo's look at the problem i had when I brought mine down to chch....

There are already Quad cores out with 8mb cache.

[1/2Pulse.]

Ill go back to vista by then since the service pack will come out etc etc im going to get a new Screen and Cpu and maybe GFX card if I have teh money

[Obbles]

There are already Quad cores out with 8mb cache.

Dedicated ie. to each core??

[swindle]

Dedicated ie. to each core??
No well, 2mb per core. You'd be waiting a while for 8mb per core?

[Plasma]

Im really tempted to get a new motherboard and a Q6600, just have to see what prices are like closer to november.

I like your thinking.

Is that hard to setup? Im considerin that, just hav vista for new games, xp for everythin else lol

[AintNoMeInTeam]

im planning on getting a whole new system when i have the money, but it wont be any time soon. it will probably when i start getting less than 1000 3d marks when i benchmark. im sitting on 1739 at the moment :D

[au.interfector]

I've already got a DX10 card but i'll wait for the 9 series and then buy two 8800GTX's and run SLI. GPU prices always fall when the new model comes out.

[SLAYER!@#]

Easy... I had Xp already installed.
So I booted off the disc and installed Vista on another partition, and it automatically installed the boot manager. Can't get any easier than that. Vista took just over ten minutes to install.

Fuck, 1000 3Dmarks man. Thats insane... :P

I assume you mean 10000? If you do, thats not that hard to hit. I got 10253 on my rig and its not that great.

Yea but he still said 1739 which is fairly low...

Im thinking of getting one of these:

I plan on going flatting soon, and gaming for me is going out the window, the 8000 series will allow me to play crysis and a few odd bod games from time to time on decent fps (hopefully) but my main thought is just photoshop and movies, music, TV
