Question about system requirement lab result

[sukesh1090]

guys when i run the system requirement lab's online hardware checking for running game i find the following result(its in pic).can any body tell what is that "performance rated at" thing in the cpu speed category

[ico]

I think it is "their own way" of rating things.

[sukesh1090]

can you tell me is my processor, intel pentium dual core E5500 2.8GHz is good enough to play high end games?thank you.

Your CPU is good enough to handle all most all games if you pair it up with gfx card.

Just get a good gfx card like HD5770/GTX46o/HD6850 and feel the power!

and also a good PSU.

^^ yep, I overlooked it.

@ sukesh - tell us your budget if you want to do some upgrades.

i didn't overclocked it,ya some days before i overclocked it but later i downclocked it to normal,about upgrade,i just bought the system 2 weeks before now i just want to buy ati hd5670 and gigabyte 460W psu.guys i heard that from next year there won't be ati brand,is it amd stops the production of all the graphics card which are in the market now or just change the logo and name of the graphics card?thank you.

AMD will manufacture 5-series under ATI brand & 6-series as you can see under AMD brand. so you getting same thing.

[topgear]

It's just the brand name AMD will abandon but they will manufacture gfx cards for sure now and in the future too.

BTW, if you are interested in OCing get a good cpu cooler like CM Hyper 212+ or Hyper TX3 and head over to this thread :

Okay, i've been there. I mean, in a position where i go check with system requirements lab website every time. It's my personal opinion.. but, i think the site is a pile of bullsh!te. It just takes the requirements posted by developers and compares it with your system specs. No real world experiences are taken into account. In short.. it is for the people who can't read the Readme.txt file in the game and the MSR posted in their website. I didn't knew it until i realized it. which was nearly 2 years ago.

My serious suggestions is to go for youtube. There are hundreds of videos that feature gaming on G31 chipset. Go check the performance in their rig... Most of them will post FPS count. Relate it to your PC specs.. and take the decision. Don't always rely on MSR. Most of the games can run in the configs that are far below the MSR. Just go to youtube and search for something like... "Left4Dead 2 GMA3100" and you'll get atleast 2-3 videos featuring your GPU. And.. there is always this nasty thing called "Demo" which we are not witnessing that often these days. But again.. if you have the chance to grab a demo, grab it. And check the performance for yourself.

thank you.i think gameometer(yougamers.com) is better than system requirements lab because i have seen some increase in their processor performance bar when it was overclocked than when in normal.

hey i checked youtube and found a video in which a guy is playing crysis but how is it possible bcoz i only installed that game and at start it showed unsupported graphics card?????????????

[topgear]

that was using some sort of moded driver and may be that was on win 7.

[sukesh1090]

how to use that modded driver and where can i get it?

[topgear]

here you will get them and try them and inform us about the result ( just go through the entire site ):

i downloaded and installed the 945 v1.1 driver.is this correct driver for my gma 3100(g31)?how can i find the difference of performance with normal and modded driver?thank you.

[Sam]

hmmmm, can try run a benchmark. a good one is 3DMark Vantage.

I don't think that's the correct driver - you need to download driver for g31/g33 chipset and they are available for win 7 only - serach that site a little bit more and you will find it for sure.

[sukesh1090]

i got it g31 is g965.
