Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter video game with survival horror elements, based on the novel Metro 2033, by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was developed by 4A Games in Ukraine and released in March 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360.
Using the benchmark tool found in the games directory, we ran it using the following settings:
Resolution: 1280×720
Direct X: 9
Quality: Medium
Antialiasing: AAA
Texture filtering: AF 4X
Advanced PhysX: Disabled
Tesselation: Not supported
DOF: Not supported
This is an extremely demanding game and we found that it wasn't perfectly smooth regardless of whether we added the discrete card in Crossfire, or not. We would need to lower the image quality settings further and possibly the resolution, to get a smooth gaming experience.
£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/
