How smooth can i run GW2 or MoHW?

lolslashchicken · 11-13-2012, 01:07 PM

I just bought a gaming pc and im waiting for it to arrive on the 15th. Im wondering how well i can run these games. Itd be appreciated if someone can estimate the fps id be playing on with 1920x1080 resolution with medium or max settings. Here are my stats:

Intel i-5 3570k cpu
8gb DDR3
AMD HD 7750
1TB HDD
Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks...

you most likely wont be able to run at high settings at least at a decent fps. 7750 isn't a very powerful card. Is this a pre built machine your getting?

only two charts i could really find for gw2 and this card

Yes its pre built. How come if i youtube: hd radeon 7750 guild wars 2 people can run it on max settings? Same when i youtubed: hd radeon 7750 battlefield 3?

Considering my 7970 has to run a mix of high and ultra settings on bf3 to get a stable 60 fps (i.e. never dropping below 60 when a lot of **** is blowing up), there's no way you're gonna get that with a 7750.

This one is with an older graphics card

Even with Crysis

the bf3 video is not 60fps. and it's probably not 1920x1080

i see... would you suggest not running games on 1920x1080 for me? Ive never seen anything past 1080 so idk what itd look like.

I don't know, see what it runs like with different settings. I would just get a better graphics card.

lolslashchicken · 11-13-2012, 02:10 PM

dont have money right now, will probably buy one within the next couple of years though. yeah ill see what it looks like when it gets here.

DJ Bob (Banned) · 11-13-2012, 02:20 PM

what did you pay for the computer? you probably could have built something yourself for cheaper

Weed_eatin · 11-13-2012, 02:24 PM

That's going to be the best way to really determine how it runs, when you actually get your hands on the computer. When I was building my machine I watched countless videos to get an idea how it may run when it's built. The only way to really tell is when your actually playing.

I'm sure you will be able to play the games, just adjust the video settings until it looks good for you and runs smooth. It may not be at max or even all high settings but it will be playable. Then when you have some extra cash later on down the road you can invest in a better card.

$799

oh yeah, everyone is telling me i could have got a better one for like $600 but i have no idea how to build a computer. so if i buy a new graphics card... say the one you have, will i just be able to pull mine out and put yours in and everything would be fine? or would i have to buy some cooling thing for it?

DJ Bob (Banned) · 11-13-2012, 02:34 PM

you could have done better for 800, a few of my friends did. you have to make sure you have enough power for the new one (you probably will) and you pretty much just plug it into the motherboard and power supply.

all computers have power supplies right? I think i read somewhere that the hd7750 doesnt need one?

http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-X...s=cyberpowerpc

thats the one i bought and to make sure, it has a power supply right? if not, how much are they?

Weed_eatin · 11-13-2012, 03:00 PM

all computers defiantly have power supplies. Higher end graphic card need to get power from your power supply to power the fans on the graphics card. Lower end cards that dont need much of a cooling system can pull the needed power to operate from the motherboard.

It says right in the Product Description section. 600 Watts Power Supply

Power the fans? No...they are used to power the card.

you think the fans run on magic?

You tell me what fan needs 200+ watts (on a computer)

Unplug the fan from your card using the 3 pin molex.. then unplug your one or two of your 6pins and tell me if the graphics card still works or not

Tell me why I need my two 6 pins plugged in when my graphics card(s) are water cooled.. MUST BE MAGIC

Lol I never said a graphics card doesn't need power. I'm not the guy you quoted.
