How will this new stuff run for gaming and can I improve on it?

ByMRK1 · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:00

- MSI GeForce GTX 570 1280MB
- Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
- Mionix Naos 3200
- Coolermaster CS-M Weapon of Choice AK47 Medium Mouse Pad
- Microsoft SideWinder X4 Gaming Keyboard
- AMD Athlon II X3 425 - Unlockable to AMD Phenom II B25 (Already Installed)
- 7GB Extra Value RAM (Already Installed)
- Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) (Replace Current RAM)

Please tell me how all of this will run on Call of Duty 4, and if I can make improvements to it to increase my performance?

That will easily run CoD4 on high graphics.

Will it get 250FPS constant? I need 250fps for Promod. I know about 60FPS - 60Hz monitors.

Hmm, not sure about 250fps. But I can pretty much guarantee you'll get more than 100fps.

I seriously doubt you will get 250fps without 2 cards:

SLi can only just hit that on a low res screen. (and thats with a better processor than yours)

I already showed the OP this last night using Call of Duty4 - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_570/8.html

Stulid: Yeah I thought If I brought new ram i might have a better chance?

stulid · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:32

Well running 7GB is weird as you have a dual channel motherboard, so it should be populated in pairs.

If you are running something like 3X2gb and 1X1gb then it should work better by just using 2X2GB in the right colour coded slots.

I would recommend getting a bigger power supply if you want to add more features in the future but your system will definitely play CoD 4 on high settings

Stulid: I have erm a 3x2gb kit and A 1gb kit. Remember long ago when I tried upgrading my Prebuilt pc? It came with 3GB Ram. So I just added 4gb more. So you suggest I take out the 3gb ram?

stulid · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:44

Install CPU-Z, click on the Memory tab and does it say next to "Channels#" "Dual"?

Buy the stuff then without the ram and get gaming.

ByMRK1 · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:48

But my RAM is cheap extra value ram: Crucial technology to be precise

stulid · 31 Jul 2011 at 15:49
