if your mobo is am2+ should also support the phenom x4 and x6,I would go with the AMD x6 1090 unlocked,Preice will drop to 150-160 by the time bulldozer comes out,and get your self 6950 2gb which by that time should be around 200-220 $....

You probably won't be able to play with everything at maximum detail.
It depends a lot on your resolution, but above all the processor is outdated, if your board is AM2+ you could be able to use a Phenom II/Athlon II.

ok the motherboard is an asus M3A78
I found the old invoice so heres what I have to work with

Asus M3A78 (can run up to Phenom 2 940)
AMD Athlon x2 7750 Black Edition
2 x 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
Seagate 500GB Sata
On Board Audio
MSI Nvidia GTS 250 1GB PCI Express
Corsair TX 750w Power Supply
Windows 7 64



Im not very good at this & will be taking it to a shop , So I will have to rely on thier advice
I would be willing to spend around 500 Canadian , hopefully I wont need a complete new system
Assuming my mobo can accept it...
Would I Notice the difference between Quad & 6 core ? What is more important? to have more cores or to have
them running at faster speed?
Video,...I have always preferred nvidia & have had a smoother time with thier drivers,...
I probably cant affrd top of the line , but maybe one or two below ,..Im not up on whats current
What would anyone reccomend in my price range that will run HOS & current games with most of the eye candy...
Also I have wondered , will it take a little load off the cpu if I get a dedicated sound card? or will I not see a difference?
my current resolution is usually just 1024x768 only ,...Im on an old glass monitor ...

I have been trying to look at forums & learn but its all confusing to me...
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx...T&id=20100920232126996&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
Any suugestions on video cards & processors appreciated , I want to be able to go into the shop
& understand if they are selling me what I really need

I don't think so. 4 would be enough.

Speed for games... once you have a quad.
Video...
Honesly, i would wait till HOS is out then get a card. Why buy something that wont be put to use right now. Beside, prices will go down and AMD and NVid may have a refresh that you will want or push the price down for the card you can afford.

Also I have wondered , will it take a little load off the cpu if I get a dedicated sound card? or will I not see a difference?
A lot of new games dont even off load the sound to the card any more(BC2). And if you do get a new CPU I don't think it would be more then a % or 2 of cpu usage anyway. If you are happy with the sound stick with the on board. But i do have to say a ded card will sound better.

my current resolution is usually just 1024x768 only ,...Im on an old glass monitor ...
BAH! I think your pc is over kill for that res.

I would wait until the game is out and see how it runs your resolution doesn't seem like it would have a hard time running the game with what you have. I would go with Monitor,Video card>cpu. I bet you could get a nice monitor and video card for 500~ that would improve your experience much more then a cpu ever will.

Ok some good advice , I will wait until we have more solid info on sys requirements
but Im trying to get an idea of how much i should be setting aside , If I can do it cheap enough I may get a new monitor as well ,..I just never got around to it , the only ones i looked at was when they first came out & all had bad response times & blurring so i said forget it & havent thought about it since
one local shop responded with this quote

"I have two options for you. For $125 we have a Phenom II 940 gently used, it's all you really need besides a better video card for todays big titles like Starcraft II and COD Black Ops, Battlefield Bad company 2. I would suggest either the nvidia GTX470 or the Radeon 6870.
for $299

Or

AMD Phenom II 965BE
Asus M4A89GTD Pro/USB3
GTX470 or Radeon 6870
$525 with trade in of your old parts"


again Im not sure the release date Im thinking sometime in the spring
so best to wait & Im really not up On whats current so I dont know how fair those prices are...or if thats what I should be getting...

UE 3 loves multi core computers as well as a decent video card. Ram is a bit less iffy, but around 2 gigs.

For something that will run UT 3 fairly great I had a core 2 duo e6600 (2.3 or something), and a geforce 8800 GT 512 on 2 to 4 gigs of ram.

Now final specs of ROHOS are nowhere near complete.

That's reassuring, I have nearly identical specs. I think I should be able to scrape by with RO2, I can avoid upgrading my PC for at least another year :D

Hey guys, (sorry I know this is an older thread)

I'm looking at upgrading and was wondering which Processor will last in the gaming world longer.

the i7 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Produc/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115071[/URL]

or the Phenom II X6 1055T [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851[/URL]

any ideas?

In next 2 weeks I going to buy Sandy Bridge. 2500k or 2600k model is that what are you looking for. It's overclocking beast, with air cooling system it goes up to 5Ghz+. It's cheaper than 1366 i7s.

I wouldn't, that game is almost four years old.

And a lot of physics.


But considering an 8800 can max out UT3 fine with a decent dual/quad core CPU, I think it is safe to say that something like a GTX260 + Q6600/AMD9950 should run it well.

If you are upgrading juts for RO2, then just wait until the game comes out. By then the prices will probably be cheaper to. :)

Just like Apos said, get Sandy Bridge. 2500k or 2600k. I have 1055T, it's a good CPU and I have it OC'd @ 3,5 GHz with Thermalright Silver Arrow fan, but Sandy Bridge is much better performance wise and costs only 20 bucks more.

I've personally used this guesstimate: If you can run ArmA2 reasonably, you can probably run RO2 in similiar fashion. It would be worthy of a medal if TWI would manage to create a game that's heavier than ArmA2 :p

Arma 2 fails so hard in optimization its ridiculous..
I think Bohemia should start over with a new engine, it feels like that engine has become a complete cluster ****.
