Far cry 3 video settings help?

[beaverking]

So I just bought and installed far cry 3 and I'm trying to figure something out. When I set the overall setting to ultra only like 3 settings are ultra, a few very highs, and a few highs. I went into custom to try and set everything to ultra and the same thing, only a few will even go to ultra and some of the options only go to high. Its like ultra doesn't exist on those options. I wanna say textures is one of them that only has a high option and environment for example. Why can't I turn everything to Ultra? Or is this how the game is supposed to be and I can't turn everything to ultra. Thanks.

So I Will Test It When My Mom Orders It & If I Don't Like It I'll Upgrade It. I'm Pretty Sure I Can Upgrade It Right ??
Also, Can It Run MW3 & BF3 ??

Hi

It will run them on very low settings, maybe...

You CAN upgrade it...here is my graphics card as an example... >>> http://www.powercolor.com/us/products_features.asp?id=423

Thats $1000 US ...lol

Now can you see why that little graphics card is so bad ?

All the best Brett

 

[beaverking]

Don't buy it, seriously. It's not even worth buying and upgrading the video card. That will not run any modern games over low settings with low fps. Medium or higher is beyond unplayable.

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

6GB GDDR5 ? WTF THAT'S THE BEST GRAPHIC CARD IVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE !!!!!!!!!! DUDE HOLY *** ! You Can Any Game ! I Wish I Had That !

So Then What A Good PC With :
3.0+ GHz
A Good Video card
With 500 Or More GB HDD
6 Or more DDR3 RAM

AND UNDER $500

 

[beaverking]

Seriously none. You will not find a pre built in the price range you want, for what you want it to do. Even a modest card for the games and settings you want is $200/300 ish and that's just the video card

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

Damn ! (Snake's Voice)

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

I Would Get an i7 2600k But It's So Damn Expensive. On The Otherhand Amd Is In My Budget.
So How Much Of A Upgrade Would It Be From My Dv4 To This Desktop?

 

[beaverking]

Technically an i5 is ok for now, but who knows for whats coming out soon. An i5 with say a gtx 660 ti is about the minimum for what you want for the games your wanting to play.

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

Is An i5 Better Than i7 ?? Well, I Don't Need The BEST Equipment In market.Just Mid-High Range.

 

[voiidwulf]

If you actually want to play games on high settings you're looking at $250 minimum for the video card alone. If you were to get that CyberPower and upgrade the video card it would be alright.

 

[beaverking]

No i5 was before the i7. That's why I'm saying that's about the minimum you can go with at least a gtx660 for what you want to do.

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

How About Upgrading It To An GeForce GT 630 2 GB ?

 

[beaverking]

No, a 630 is still on the pretty low end. Might be able to squeeze a 650 at low-mid range at playable fps

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

I Found A New One GeForce GTX 550 Ti
I AM NOT GOOD WITH VIDEO CARDS

I Have A Question. Why Everyone With Over 3.0GHz Have 16 GiGs Of Ram ??

 

[Brett928S2]

I Have A Question. Why Everyone With Over 3.0GHz Have 16 GiGs Of Ram ??

Hi

Because its CHEAP... no real advantage over 8 gb for gaming though...

Graphics cards are easy to explain... as I say to the customers in my Computer shops...

The MORE you PAY the BETTER you get....

Mine is $1000 and the best in the world...

$500 gets a real great card...

$200 gets a just about usable gaming card...

Anything below that cost....forget it for gaming...not if you want good graphics in games at reasonable settings...

All the best Brett

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

Oh, I Would Only Buy RAM When iFeel The Need. I Need To Hurry Up And Get A Damn Job So I Can Pay For Things On My Own. Im 15.

 

[beaverking]

For what you want it for its not worth spending 500-600 just to play games on lower to middle end. Save up a few hundred more so its worth it. Otherwise if you just want to game on low settings, get the games for 360 or ps3 instead for way cheaper

 

[KiiDPoLo98]

Pretty True Thanks Guys !!

here an example of the top cards performing in this game on a CPU with no bottle neck
amd vs nvidia is pretty much side by side
but yeah this will give you an idea of what kind of cards you will need to buy hopefully this helps

 

[aefety]

I suspect your card is not good enough for Ultra...
