Just Cause 2 is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Avalanche Studios, published by Eidos Interactive and distributed by Square Enix. Just Cause 2 employs the Avalanche Engine 2.0, an updated version of the engine used in the original Just Cause game.
The game is set on the fictional island of Panau, an island located in the south-east of Asia. Panau has varied terrain, from desert to alpine to rainforest. Rico Rodriguez returns as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak “Baby” Panay and confront his former mentor, Tom Sheldon.
To test the system, we used the in-game benchmark and opted to use the following settings:
Resolution: 1280×720
AA: 2X
AF: 8X
Preset: Medium
This is a rather demanding game, especially for lower end hardware such as this. When we add the discrete graphics card, the frame rates suffer a little. We aren't sure why, however this game runs better without the discrete card added in Hybrid Crossfire.
£50 for the cpu and £50 for the gigabyte mobo is pretty good isnt it ? id always been put off bying a system like this for my tv as the motherboards were often well over £100 even if the processors were cheap.
im tempted now. shall try and talk my credit card into accepting the charge.
Nice setup on Dabs for these, makes it easier to work out where to get the bits,
only thing is, they should have made some complete systems with memory, power supply etc, took a few quid from them. would have worked a lot better. seems a bit ‘half assed’ having a page with the A4’s and motherboards and nothing else. these are ideal for students who maybe need the help
Hybrid crossfire has always sucked, glad to see it hasnt gotten better all of a sudden.
not a bad deal for the price, but its probably slow as molasses for a work machine. Adding a cheap SSD might help.
Im curious, can it be overclocked?
its pretty good value for money. Not sure id want one, but would be good for a server system
I have that proc. and Gigabyte MB and i am very satisfied with that. Plus i got Ati Saphyre graphic card with 1 GB. As it was said, it is really good for lite gaming, and very cheap. And @Brian, yes it can be overclocked! 🙂
Is there such a thing as an intel atom quad core? The 6450 is pretty puny so really adds not very much except heat and cost. A 6670 or better would kick things up a notch/
