Ok, that should be more than plenty. I run WoT at max settings on a 1080p projector and usually max out the fps at refresh rate (60Hz). I don't know what your problem is.

My meaning was being a fan and supporting a company to which you are a customer is good in small doses. However, if exaggerated it is detrimental to you as a customer.

I get you meaning. The exaggeration part, though, appears to be subjectively skewed.

I have a 2500k cpu
16 gigs of ram
sli evga 465
directx 1 thru 20
hitachi 1tb drive 32 mb cache
wd hd 750 gb with 32 mb cache with a corner broken when I dropped it.
2 pretty blue lights, 1 on top of the case 1 on the bottom.
1 easy chair with a side beer holder.
1 trash can on the side of my desk with dual plastic bags with handles.

I can play aces high with full frames  at max settings with shadows at 4096 on 3 monitors.  I cant play wot at medium settings on 3 monitors at full frames and if zoomed in I get like 5 fps.  so i stick to 1 monitor and medium settings.

and by the way, did you notice the problems with that cpu and aces high that has nothing to do with aces high?  many threads have been posted over  the years.

Your graphics card is not fit for modern gaming, at all.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Well, this thread and its proponents crosses the line in my admittedly subjective view. WT (arguably) deserves the prize it got. It stands to revitalize the air combat genre of video games.

$500 is plenty to upgrade a computer every three years. Note the word "upgrade". It is not synonymous with "buy new computer". My current gaming rig is from 2006. Over the years I've upgraded the memory, cpu, and last year I bought a new GFX card. I still run games at or close to their maximum settings.

upgrading a computer every 3 years will run you a lot more:

cpu 230
ram 60
mobo 130
vc 250.

total 670+ if you include taxes and shipping.  and I am not even quoting top of the line.

dude you want to tell me my gpu is not up to modern games when you say that a $500 computer with no video card can play ah "smoothly"?

Uhh..yea it will. Shiet, my Dell Optiplex ran AH out of the box without any problems, E7500 and onboard Intel G41, ran AH with shadows, bump map and enviromental mapping off smoothly. And that was 2 years ago.


Oh I see, sorry two years ago my two evga 465's  were sub par to the intel onboard graphics.  my bad, will get on upgrading my video card, thanks for the advice.  which one do you recommend? 

boy, titanic, you do love to troll dont ya.  you remind me so much of manawar.

Yeah, that's right. The same video card I for some reason need to keep pointing out to you I don't have issues with on any other game, including several much more recent ones.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

No, two years ago, AH required next to nothing (and still does) to run it smoothly. I didn't say my Intel G41 was equal to your GTX 465s. $500 is enough for a cheap arse Dell that will run AH smoothly with most settings turned on. You don't need a god like PC to run AH. Your rage is blinding your withering ability to comprehend there.

No it won't, because you don't upgrade all the components every three year period. I bought the original computer in 2006, just as Intel's Core2 CPU line was launched, and the first Dx10 GFX card became available (GeForce 8800GTX). In 2008 I upgraded the cpu from a Core2 Duo to a Quad. That cost me about $200. In 2009 I upgraded the RAM from 4 to 8 gigs. That cost me about $230. In 2011 I was forced to upgrade my GFX card after 5 years when it failed. That cost me another $200 or so (AMD HD 6870). I am still using this computer as my gaming rig in 2013. That's a total of $630 worth of upgrades over 7 years.

Edit typo: AMD HD 6870.

no, it was 45 bucks a month, I was also paying for another account for a member who was low on funds in addition to mine.  and also paid for premium accounts on world of tanks for 2 clan members who fell on hard times.  and if you add to the couple of pigs that I paid a couple of months here and there and perhaps another 2 ah members who needed help.  and some hardware that I donated to a couple of other guys.  I have spent many times what I pay on my own account.  which I am grateful I can afford to.

I also donated more than  a couple of dollars at the shelter where I volunteer on Thursdays.   I have spent about 3k on my own computer over the last  2 or 3 years and I am anxiously waiting on a sim pit that I ordered which is gonna cost about 800 bucks.  but why do you ask?  are you afraid I am gonna spend your inheritance? or are you worried about my future?
