Well, the title says it all really. What's your current rig? Home-built or store-purchased? How well does it handle MWO? For me it's: Home built MB: Asus P8Z77-I DELUXE mITX CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K 3,5Ghz GPU: GTX 660 MSI TwinFrozr SSD: Corsair Neutron 256GB RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8192MB) CL10 1600Mhz PSU: Corsair CX500W CPU Cooling: Corsair H60 Chassi: BitFenix Prodigy White I play with a 1920x1200 screen and MWO feels amazing. Never have any stuttering etc, It also handles most games on quite high settings. The videocard is the weak link in the rig, but it's also where I saved cash, the rest of the rig is good for quite a lot of years so I plan to just upgrade the video-card sometime during the next generation. (or just save up for a titan ;p) The reason I have a i7/16GB of RAM is because I do quite a bit of video-editing. Sadly very few games are coded to handle more than quad-core.
Mine is quite shitty, except for the graphics card: MB: Some old Asus P55 board CPU: i5 750 (quad core) 2.4Ghz GPU: ATI 7870 SSD: Samsung 830 256GB RAM: 8 GB PSU: Corsair 650W Handles MWO quite good at 1920x1080. Can run it at playable FPS (40+) at maximum settings, but have dropped some settings a bit since they're cpu dependant and can give some FPS drops at times. At my custom settings I'm stable at about 60-70 FPS, with occasional drops to about 40. I've even tried running it in 3D mode (got a 120hz screen and active glasses that I rarely use ), and it could handle MWO with very playable FPS even then. Crashes are very rare, maybe once a week when playing MWO. Did about 80-100 games last weekend (assault vs world) and I experienced just one crash. Need to upgrade cpu/mb soon, Arma 3 just won't run well on my old cpu.
Both my pc's are home built Game Pc CASE: Cooler Master Cosmos 2 CPU: I7 2600k 4.6Ghz (Corsair H100i) MB: AsRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 GPU: 2x Zotac Gtx 680 Amp SSD: Samsung 840 500Gb, 2x Corsair GT 240Gb HDD: 2x 600Gb Velociraptors in Raid 0 RAM: 16Gb Corsair Dominator PSU: Corsair AX1200w Monitor: Samsung S27B970D in 2560x1440 res Work Pc CASE: Silverstone Fortress FT03B CPU: I7 3770k 4.2Ghz (Corsair H80) MB: AsRock Z77 Extreme4M GPU: Evga 660ti SSD: Corsair Preformance Pro 256Gb HDD: 2x WD 2Tb RAM: 16Gb Corsair Vengeance PSU: Corsair AX850w Monitor: 2x LG 23 inch 1920x1080 res Both my computers run MWO very well, the only trouble i have is random crashes in MWO on my work pc.
Home built: CPU: i7-950 @ 4.1 Ghz FAN: Water Cooled MB: Asus Sabertooth X58 RAM: 24 GB DDR3 Triple Channel (Corsair 6x 4GB) GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 680 OC (+ Water Cooling replacing the Fan) HDD: Intel 256 GB SSD + 2x 2 TB Storage Samsung Screen: 2x 27" Samsung - 1080p Did run it with 2x GTX 460 as it was new but SLI is just too much hassle tbh Does Run MWO quite well - i do a ton of 3d rendering, photoshop stuff and video editing too though
Home built: CPU: i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz MB: AsRock Z77 Pro3 RAM: 8GB DDR3 Triple Channel (Corsair 2x 4GB) GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW Signature2 HDD: Samsung 256 GB SSD + 1x 1 TB Storage Screen: 1x 32" Samsung - 1080p
Yeah, I've been going in to streaming lately. I'm managing 720p streaming with ok quality/low stuttering. I'm using Open Broadcast Software and It's going ok with my current rig. Val: How hard is it to do your own watercooling solution? The H60 is OK but I think I'm going to crank my CPU a bit higher and I'm not sure it can handle it all that well, tbh I'm not running it in push/pull yet though, only got the pull fan installed.
