Released in March 2011, Crysis 2 was the highly-anticipated sequel to Crytek's triumphant predecessor. The CryEngine 3 game engine is able to deliver stunning visuals of New York's urban scenery as well as the intense conflict. Those stunning visuals and intense battles demand powerful PC hardware.
We used the game's ‘Very High' setting to offer an intense challenge for the gaming hardware while also making playable frame rates a possibility.
We are also utilising the DX11 and High Res Textures pack as well as the game's latest patch – version 1.9.
An average frame rate of almost 40 FPS with a 1920×1080 resolution is good performance, given the demanding nature of Crysis 2. There are a few sections when the frame rate drops below an acceptable level however.
Why mount the power supply with the fan upwards? it won’t be sucking in cold air from outside. Fair, very honest review Luke, id like to see more from you in future.
Not impressed with this build at all, although I like the AMD processors, good value for money.
well thats disappointing. Nice components though, but ill build it myself thanks.
I would never order a system from OCUK, their customer support is rude. I had a failed motherboard over a year ago and the hassles I had to go through for a reaplcement were incredible.
Build your own system I say, if you can’t then go to a proper system builder like PC Specialist or Cyberpower
This is rather devious of ocuk, naming it 8350. People will immediately think they are getting a fx8350 processor!
This is just terrible, first of all, what drivers did you really use with the 7850, was is the 12.11?!
Second of all, why in the world name it 8350a…Epic.
Third, i have a similar system, i5 2400 3.2(4 cores) + Asus 7850 2GB V2, guess what?!My 3dmark11 score is http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5473705 – 5841.
Shame on AMD…
you need a better gpu like nvidia 660Ti or amd 7950 .
you can save money replace the useless and small 60GB SSD drive with a 750GB WD BLACK.
