Short story...

Tried to make a budget pc that can play most games at 1080p with max settings.

HERE it is :

GPU : ATI 5770 (£50)

CPU: 955 BE ( £70)

RAM : 4GB 1600 GSKILL RAM

MOTHERBOARD : 990FXA- UD3 (£105) (so it can be upgraded to the 8350 later on also having a upgrade path )

POWER SUPPLY :650w ( £20)

CASE : COOLMASTER STORM ( because the B*tches be crazy )

 

PERFORMANCE :

MAXED OUT ALL GAMES ON 1080p !

Dishonored = 60+ FPS

BF3 = SINGLE PLAYER = 54FPS

BF3 64 PLAYER MAP : 42FPS

MAX PAIN 3 = 60FPS ( one map i got 43FPS but the rest were fine )

GOT 60fps on most game

ill update this later on.

There's no way you're getting 50 FPS in BF3 @ 1080p MAX with a 5770. Maybe two 5770's, but not one.

Not true. I used to have a 5770 and it handled Battlefield 3 on max settings with well over 50fps just fine. But then again my resolution was only 1600x900.

don't  use MSI after burner unless you have a MSI card otherwise use Sapphire Trixx, It lets you go past 960 Core clock and voltage control if your card supports it, I have my 5770 set to 1035 Core clock that is stable in games and bitcoin mining,  I can probably go to 1300Mhz memory

if you can sqeeze in a after market cooler on your CPU then change the FSB to 240, lower you HT multiplier by 1, lower your Ram multiplier by one level, up your CPU volatage to 1.45v, Up the CPU-NB voltage to 1.3v and change the CPU multiplier to 16.5 or 17 to attain 4Ghz if thermally reasonable leave the CPU-NB multi alone you want it at 2400Mhz (speeds up L3 cache, allows higher ram speeds)

^Ja ja....what Giga said.

Yeah, there's no way you're getting that kind of performance out of a 5770. My two gtx 580s get between 80 and 120 fps.

Just to tell you guys, From switching my shitty HDD ( 300GB 5400RPM 8MB CACHE ) to a 1tb HDD ( 7200RPM 16MB CACHE ) gave me a large boost in my FPS.

Giga, i did overlcock my cpu to 4.2 GHZ but since i got my i7 i just left it at stock. Thanks for the advice for the GPU overlcock, never overclocked my GPU and i use MSI after burner just to check my TEMPS but im going to give Sapphire trixx a go ! 

 

To people who dont belive me, well you dont have to... just wanted to share the news with you guys
