New machine

[Blakeseven]

Hello i waiting for the release to buy new computer for the maximum satisfaction to play but i have a question:

Amd Ati or Intel Nvidia

I the pass my graphic card have some problem with nvidia driver and i think ut3 running better on ati graphic card.

 

[SolitarioSoldat]

best bang for the buck, AMD + ATI.

Though my current system is AMD/ATI, both should have good drivers and it entirely depends on when you want to buy a video card and at what price point. I too am waiting before HOS is released to upgrade my HD4670.

 

[Private Who?]

ATi / AMD most definitely will get you the most bang for the buck.

You can get a very solid AM3 mobo, a Phenom II X4 955 processor, and a Radeon 5770 for less than 400 USD.

You'll be smart though to wait for the release of the HD 6770 cards here in a few weeks though. Those should be around 130-150 USD, and will smoke the 5770.

Overall, the Phenom II X4's and a solid mid-range or upper mid range video card should fit the bill.

Thank for the precious information

My current favorite graphics card on the market now is the AMD 6850 for $179

It performs slightly under the 5850, can overclock past it, and only requires 1 6-pin power connector. It also beats the gtx460 in most benchmarks, for less money.

+1, 6850 owns, it is a really good card, I would buy it if I had money, but I will have to buy a 5770, which is not bad... both are more than enough since almost every game now is a console port and it has the same graphics that we had 3 years ago,but they are horrible optimized.Both cards are enough(for me, I don't know how many fps you will want) to run UDK, so they will probably run Ro:Hos pretty well.

Is it true that the Unreal Engine runs better with Nvidia?
(I'm buying a new card for RO2 (HD6850 or GTX460) and I've read this somewhere...)

Yes,it seems to be true, but the difference is very small http://www.anandtech.com/show/3987/...enewing-competition-in-the-midrange-market/17(Mass effect 2 benchmarks)
Another one:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/Radeon_HD_6850_CrossFire/17.html The difference is really small, and 6850 crossfire = epic win...

Nvidia is native PhysX, apart from that and driver related shyte I guess its a personal choice.

Nv 460 GTX here, BTW (no driver probs here).

I'm going for an AMD + Nvidia solution in the very near future.
A well equipped PSU is equally important in my experience.

I went out on a limb today and bought the ATI HD6950 today, dear god whens this game coming out

If I were you, I'd just save money and stick with your current rig close to the release unless you need a powerful one quickly.
