Will this computer handle Crysis 2 at best graphics without lags? Im just using Crysis 2 at reference to the game who needs higher system requeriments now-a-days...
I need a gaming computer and this one looks quite good, but that 6GB Video Card got me very surprised... there is 6GB memory Graphic Cards?

Anyway, do you think i can play actual games at best graphics without any lags? If not, which one do you recommend? (It can't cost more than U$1.000,00).
Thanks

[2GB DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5570 [DVI, HDMI, DP, VGA adapter] Thats how much the gpu is in the video card But to answer your questions Yes there are 6GB Graphics cards there's the Nivida Quadron Its called something along the lines of that. your computer should be able to play crysis 2 Max settings fine might have a tiny bit of lag but un noticeable I suggest paying that extra $100 if you have the money to get that HP 2310e 23" Diagonal Ultra-Thin WLED Monitor because it has HDMI as well not like your first monitor and it has 1920 x 1080p not like the 1600 by 900 I think.

NEVER buy a prebuild computer dude.
Never! Just no. Bad thing, don't do it

EDIT: Holy shit I just noticed that this thing is overpriced as hell.
And the Graphics card is REALY REALY REALY bad!

WHAT THE HELL!

I totally agree with Globetrotter.

You know about Dell's Alienware right ? They got the new auraura EPIC PC MADE SPECIALLY for gaming COME WITH A BUNCH OF AMAZING THINGS such as HD SCREEN, GAMING KEYBOARD, gaming mouse, epic processor, epic graphics card.

And they start at 1000$ so if you're willing to pay around 100$ go get an alienware you wont regret it, it'll stay at least 10 years and still be good enought for anything.

that HP you got has the graphics card ( or nearly ) that my mom got on kinda cheap Toshiba pc. It lag's with COD4 ( at only medium settings), imagine what'll happen at maximum settings with crysis 2... Even thought it's an i7 it's old, it's an i7-260 the new ones are the 780's or the special edition extreme one's which are the 790's ( or maybe there's newer..).

Only thing that's goot on that PC is that it has a beats sound card ;P. ( well i'm ranting so much about it because ou said you wanted it for gaming. if it's for something else it's a hell of a good PC. But not for crysis 2 ;p)

If you are willing to pay less don't buy a prebuild. You'll save around 30-40% if you buy it from sketch (or if you ask me or someone else who's good with computers)

No PC's last 10 years and can still play games (even at low).
No Pc.
Not even a 3000$ PC


But if you want to pay more (for a prebuild) then the Alienware should be the "better" choice.

I right now have a 10( well nearly i guess it's 9 ) year old PC which can run counter strike 1.6 there ya go.

But maybe be less these days because of the fast development of games and PC's...

Did you ever look for AlienWare PC's ? You can choose what do you want in them ( but it's not 'too' flexible. depends on the PC). Just go on their site right now , you'll see for yourself.

A 3000$ one would. If you but 8TB of ram three 8 core overclocked CPU's ( you can get to 8GHz with that) , 2 epic graphics cards with 4 GB ram each.

AlienWare PC's sell factory over clocked PC's with liquid coolers... Who beats that. But if you want that you might get to 1500$...

Annnndddd Alienware PC's look awesome ( but they're super heavy lulz..)

Don't think I'm advertising anything, I just admire Alienware PC's.

HP do sell some good stuff... ( not that one you showed us lol)

Look at this first : http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-aurora-r3/pd.aspx

Then look at this man http://www.alienware.com/Landings/desktops.aspx ( yeap expensive ... )

( wrote this quickly don't expect good grammar nor spelling, sorry )

Have fun choosing bro, i'm stuck with a Compack 1.60 GHZ and shitty onboard graphics card laptop lulz...

Before you buy you're pc THINK ABOUT YOUR MOUSE AND KEYBOARD.

I have and recommend a logitech G700 mouse ( 100$) and a logitech G15(forgot, i think they got a G19 now if they do take the G19) (around 200$) Trust i'm enjoying the G700 plus my keyboard ( currently using a Razer Lycosa gaming KB, EPIC :D). A nice Vespula mouse pad is amazing for the mouse too ;P ( it's double sided, you should it too :D)

I really hate keyboards with high key-buttons.
Well, im just checking it, and later i will see if this is better than the HP one...
If it comes with monitor, and keyboard and mouse...

That's a strong computer man. BTW you don't even need to use the highest setting for Crysis 2, just use the normal setting and you still can enjoy the graphic :).

It don't want medium graphic, i want higher, with higher performance, with lesser lags, with higher everything... I always had bad computers, normal ones, now i will buy one great with my money.



>P.S.:
I compared the 2 ones, look this:
•HP: Way higher RAM (4GB+)
•HP: Way higher video-card (1GB+)
•HP: Higher HD (500MB+)
•HP: With monitor (save U$250)
•AlienWare: Faster processor (0.1GHz+)
•AlienWare: Cooler design
>HP: 4 / AW: 2
I will buy the HP, thanks for the help

that link u posted = medium graphics

Oh yeah, sure... medium graphics, now you made me laugh so hard man.

I am not rich, so i will not buy a U$5.000 computer.
Most games doesn't needs more than 6gb of ram to run. (recommended)
Most games doesn't needs 1,5gb+ of video card to run. (recommended)

This computer has more things than the cheaper alienware, and with lower price, just because of the name "AlienWare" and it's fame they add U$200+.


P.S.: I changed the video-card, i trust more on Nvidia GeForce series then on ATI ones.

Try and get a GTX Graphics card because thats only a GT which is for low end gaming Just because it has a really high GPU it's only using around 1GB Of that on a 1920x1080 GTX= High end gaming GT= Low end gaming same thing as globetrotter said. So with that graphics card its going to let you down a bit even a graphics card with a gpu for 512MB 1GB Will do just as good as that. There are a lot of bad reviews about that card as well. From what I've heard That graphics card is used in dell. To trick users because "Dell" Is a good brand and scamming money out of them. So I say well you don't have to listen to me Go for a cheaper card thats good then later on switching it over for a nivida gtx. If you want best performance. Anyways still go with what you trust im just saying... Good computer for a prebuilt tho nice deal :3
