List of what to buy.....
CPU liquid cooling....( or better fan )
PSU ( one that caedes posted )
And ATI 4870 x2....

What about this card??? Looks same as a GTX 280 O.o
Newegg.com - BFG Tech BFGE981024GX2E GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (512MB per GPU) 512-bit (256-bit per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Caedes · 08-09-2008, 08:43 PM

It's a Dual GPU Card like the Radeon 4870 X2.

Ariel · 08-09-2008, 08:44 PM

So can i use that one???
I rly need upgrade...
My 8400gs is like.. . . .so bad words cant explain it.

Caedes · 08-09-2008, 09:04 PM

Just get a 4870, the limitation shouldn't be to high.

Ariel · 08-09-2008, 09:06 PM

KK ill get that ... THX

Dont underestimate the specs or "overkill" in a MMO, especially one with mass PvP. An 8800gt still cant pull 30FPS on mass pvp in 5 year old L2. I know someone in Tabula Rasa who said on max settings with a 4870 they are getting 90-110FPS, and they still drop to 30-40FPS in Control Points (basically the things in Battlefield 2, except theres tons of mobs that are scripted to attack, you can have hundreds on your screen).

Right now I have a 7600GT eww, and in L2 on max settings I get 25-50 fps depending on the location, 5-15 in mass PvP. In TR I get 40-60 on normal settings (they go from low, normal, high, higher, ultra), and I drop to 5-30 in CP's.

Howling · 08-10-2008, 07:35 AM

Yeah I pull a solid 80 in Tabula Rasa until I get in the middle of a huge raid and it drops to 30 - assuming we're keeping the bane numbers down, if they're REALLY over running us it drops to around 12 :/ Never can have too good a pc for mmo's that feature large scale battle.

And as for cooling I use Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
3.3GHz overclock and under full load I never go over 63'C, though I get some slight stability issues at 3.3 so I'm dropped down to 3.2GHz (356x9 with 1.325V) and its stable as a kitten and never over 58'C

Make sure there's room in your case for all the stuff you're buying, I've heard the Freezer 7 is too big for some cases. (my case is HUGE (RC-1100 Cosmos S) so I've no worries about it

)

Ariel · 08-10-2008, 11:14 AM

Oh got i have a small case lol XD
I need to moove my HDD to make room for the newer cards... :x I measure got bout 10inch clearence form PCIE x16 slot to HDD ( beggining to end ) Anyways....
THX for info ill get right on it ^_^
Ill oc to 3.0 when i get the fans and get an x2...
Ill be one happy boy ^_^
