Computer Specs-what are YOU gonna use?

[Pezhead]

So, what kind of computer are YOU gonna use for playing Aion? List of detailed specs would be nice. Im curious to see what everyone else is doing.
Here's mine-

Case-Antec 900 mid tower computer case
Motherboard- MSI K9A2 CF AMD 790X
Power Supply- XION Supernova 800W ATX12V Modular Cabling
RAM- PNY OPTIMA 4x 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Processor- AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Quad-Core Processor(probably overclock to 3.0+)
GFX- POWERCOLOR Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
crossfired with.... something... hopefully SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 (when i get the money)
HD-Western Digital Caviar 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s x2 in a RAID 0 (i'm too cheap to get a raptor)


I'm probably gonna recycle some old Monitor until I can save up enough for somethin' a bit better.

Note: Do you think Radeon or geforce would be better for Aion? I will point out for those who are ignorant of ATI-The Radeon series of cards boasts an incredible amount of stream processors. These are what are needed to process multiple graphic streams, while geforce tend to be able to clear their memory cache much more quickly. This means that Geforce can process a muzzle flash from a gun at 5-20% faster rate than an equivalent radeon card, but the radeon card can process 50 muzzle flashes much more efficiently.

I've been thinking of what comp specs I want for my comp, but I have $2000 saved up now and think Ill wait til a release date is announced to put it together so it's all top of the line for Aion ^^.
Looks like I have a few more months of saving to do, looks like Ill have one hell of a beast comp for Aion.

Wrong forum, AMD vs NVIDIA has been discussed to death....the conclusion is in 75% of games : get an AMD unless your budged is under $150, or you want the best single processor card, which would be the GTX280, the only reason for that would be the 4870x2 has some microstuttering.

Well, even though i was curious about Nvidia or Ati, the real topic was whats your computer gonna be.

PSU:Antec TruePower Quattro 850 W Power Supply
Mother Board: MSI p35 Neo COmbo
RAM: 2x2 GB Corsair XMS2 (DDR2 800 4-4-4-12)
CPU: Q6600 OC 3.0
GPU: HIS 4870x2 2GB GDDR5
Normal SATA HDD
TFT Samsung SyncMaster 2032BW (20")

In before the move. Who said you could leave The Basement - AionSource.com?

I have atm at home: Intel core 2 duo e6550
4gig ddr 667
20 inch samsung syncmaster widescreen
Gefore 8800 gtx
creative xf-i music
speakerset logitech z5500 digital.
I think i can have fun enough with playing aion at this spec, if not than il upgrade again :PP

[zutto]

Mother Board: Gigabyte p35c-ds3r
RAM: 4 GB Corsair XMS2
CPU: e6750 3.7ghz
GPU: 8800GTS 512
1TB SATA HDD

will mostely do an upgrade before aion is out tought

[ILLUSIA]

Core 2 Quad Q6600
GF8800GT
2GB RAM
very high settings in pve, high-midle in pvp. at least I hope, 'cause CBT3 was laggy even with top comps.

p.s. and dont forget about internet connection. Aion needs a wide channel for mass pvp, not only fine hardware.

[loganz35]

Intel Duo E6550
Geforce 8600 GT
2GB of RAM (DDR2)

[Calindor]

Probably E8400
DS3L
2x2gb pc6400
750gb hd
cant decide on single 4870, or getting a diff mobo and going 4850 CF, cause 4850 cf has only 300w of power consumption, which is almost the same as a single 4870, and it benchmarks like 50% faster than a single 4870, yet only 1-5% slower than 4870CF, it even beats GTX280SLI in some games, and costs under $400, and you dont need a generator to power them

[justamemory]

E8400
ATI HD 4850
3GB RAM (DDR2 1066)

they said basically any computer within the last 2 years--of either the time he was speaking this sentence (lol) or Aion's release date--should be able to run it with very nice settings.

And, according to this http://www.aionsource.com/forum/base...read-here.html most of us should be able to decimate Aion

oh they can say anything thay want, for example that Aion goes great on Pentium 4 and GF6600. But reality differs. Mass pvp LAGS! It lags with top hardware. Yes. I know its beta. But korean release is realy soon and I dont belive in miracle of optimization in few months.
But they still can do something with it till EU/NA release. They have about half year for it. I dont care about korean Aion. And I realy hope that NC wont stop optimization even after korean release.

Il be using Q6600 with a 8800gt(Little overclocked) and 3gb of ram.

You can wait September and get a 4850x2 instead of CF solution. Think its out in Sept.
