Maniac · 08-24-2008, 05:41 PM

does vista run gunz fine?

Aztec · 08-24-2008, 05:47 PM

Intel, no question. AMD sucks this year.

XP vs Vista is entirely your choice. Vista isn't nearly as bad as people say it is, especially with 2gb of ram- you'll hardly see the difference. And you'll get dx10, as opposed to the modified version available for XP.

Intel, Vista and ATI.

jappeX · 08-25-2008, 05:47 AM

AMD sux, there's no competition right now. What does the overall comp look like?

Here's a few suggestions I can think of:

Processor: Intel E8500
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD4870
Motherboard: Asus P5Q Pro
Case & Powersupply: Antec Sonata III Silent (500w) ATX
RAM: 4GB of any DDR2 800mzh
Operating system: Windows Vista 64bit
Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar 640Gb
DVD/CD: Any Samsung really

gratz i want new pc 2

GunZ runs fine on vista, just the a bit non-popular programs wont work at vista. GTKradiant for example, doesn't work on vista.

If you need help, Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg

The only thing you should change/add is the hard drive (if you need more space) or a Heatsink, if you plan on overclocking.

Get a Xp/intel those are pretty fast for gunz. ^_^

Intel/Vista/3 gig ram.

I have a laptop with Vista/3 gig Ram. and AMD processor. ATI Graphics card 128 mb. I can play CoD4 on low gfx with around 30-110 fps.(very jumpy in some situations it stays high, others it's 30. I can play gunz ez on high with rediculously high FPS. I forgot the number.

Philipp · 08-26-2008, 08:13 AM

no doubt, intel.

amd's heat to fast.

vista or xp? your choice, if you got a good pc there is no big difference!

jappeX's setup looks pretty good, I'd just take a power suply with more watt.
So there will be no problems, my gfx card recommends more then 500 watt ps.

Jappex's is a bit overkill. Better to buy a Centurion 5 for the case and a seperate power supply. 640gb is too much.

Well basically, Jappex's is an expensive build

QFT.

No need to spend over 1000$ on a computer for gaming. Hell I have a build that costs about 500-800(with monitor/keyboard and mouse) that would be an EASY overkill for gunz. But the build was for Cod4 and newer games that were out. A 640gb hdd is a overkill simply because hard drives are only getting cheaper. I'd get a 320gb 7200 rpm to start off with.

Rofl, a 300 dollar computer will easily overwhelm Gunz.
