:lol: hey dudes i have a lil question, need some advice. i want to run a gtx 680, wanted to know a recommended PSU. Also i know the 680's are PCIE 3.0, is it true that they will work on PCIE 2.0, just at 2.0 speed? Or should i change my motherboard? I currently have a thermatake TR2 600w with two 12v rails, one with 23A and the other with 20A. I doubt this would be sufficient to juice it, i could be wrong though so i'm asking.

The 680's have a pretty low power draw so with ur current psu u'll be g2g. If u wanna SLI however u may have to get at least a 750w. Doh worry about PCI 2.0 /3.0 for now it runs fine in PCI 2.0. Ur processor hada be able to support PCI 3.0 anyw (SB-E, IB), this tech is not gonna be utilized fully as yet.


Yea what Chiney said

from youtube comments:
"ultra settings with GTX 690: 30 fps..."

Crysis 2 wasn't bad just not as good as the first, multiplayer was decent but quickly lost interest

As for that trailer and the comment posted, I seriously doubt a 690 will give 30fps on ultra unless like the original crysis the game is horribly optimized, I realize alot of game-makers are taking that approach to make their games seem more demanding on pc,

some simple mods from crydev will make the game look way way better and run smoother sometimes.
I experimented alot with crysis 2.

[Ronaldo95163]

He joking Chiney fedup max out Crysis
My old 4650(AGP) ran it. Pretty sure my GTX 560 would run it on max too. Definitely not gonna try it tho....looking kinda boring to me

Right now is BO and BF3 i'm playing as I have some time. Will definitely uninstall BO after I beat it out. I feel like i'm playing CODWAW or the first two Call of Duties O.O. Still can't believe my old System didn't run that piece of crap either

[ichiniisama99]

Had a mind so....crysis 2 not boring IMO, it a bit more strategic than some shooters though, you hada plan how you goin to attack first, or you can do the classic and run out like a badman and shoot everybody, but you'll most likely die...atleast i did but some people don't like it.

And yeah my other rig has a 560ti it can keep up with it.

[Ronaldo95163]

The run out like a badman and shoot everybody does work in COD for me....not Battlefield

yuh use the high res textures and stuff?? If you could a be able to run without draining suit energy it would a be ok. I used to just put on armor and run out and melee alien and man from a side. But it get boring too fast.

It does work in bf3 sometimes if yuh using a LMG other that that you dead.
