Now that I've said that, how will a geforce 8600 run on that resolution with the parts listed? Games I plan to play are Crysis, DMC4 (will it be able to reach 60 FPS or close?), Assassin's creed, the new Prince of Persia, Bioshock, etc. |
2.5ghz dual core CPU will not be your weak link. All benchmarks will be GPU bound.
Crysis: about 17fps at 1280x1024 (medium settings)
Bioshock: under 30 (25-28) with max settings
Half Life 2 Episode 2: around 60fps at best on high (no AA, AF)
So you can see the 8600GT is not exactly ideal at 1280x1024. Not if you're expecting to see around 60fps for most GPU intensive games published within the last year. You'd have to turn quality settings down in many instances.
