PC For RoF
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 3:30 am
Salute!
Just thought I would post my new pc specs for those who might be thinking of buying a new rig.
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 600T (This thing is HUGE)
Processor: Core i5 2500k 3.3ghz
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Pro
Memory: 8gb Mushkin memory with CL9 timing(9-9-9:24)
Video Card: Asus nVidia 570TGX
Hard Drives: 80gb Intel ssd as my OS drive and a 1gb Western Digital hard drive for everything else
In total, this cost me about $1500 and I have been very happy with it. I can run RoF with all settings maxed and I will get about 37 fps or better. I have turned down just a couple of options and I pretty much run pegged at 60 fps(limited by the refresh rate on my monitor). For those that want to build a PC on a budget, I would look at an AMD processor. You could get a Phenom X4 955 or 965 and be sure to get a Black Edition processor. They are fairly cheap and can be easily overclocked from what I understand. 4gb of memory is good, but 8 would be preferable. As far as video cards, for nVidia I have read that the 560 GTX TI is good for RoF. For AMD, I was running a 5770 and it ran the game decent at medium to low settings. If you had more money, I would definitely put it towards the processor and the video card as RoF really seems to prefer the upper end stuff on these components. I would aim for a quad core processor and either the Radeon 5950/5970 or the nVidia 570TGX or above.
Anyways, sorry to go on, but hopefully this can be of some use to anyone who is thinking of putting a new pc together.
