AlienWare X51 System Review (Core i7)

Crysis 2 is a first-person shooter. The player assumes the role of a Force Recon Marine called Alcatraz. Similar to its predecessor, it provides freedom to customize weaponry and abilities. Crytek wanted to avoid making another game set in a true jungle environment (as were Far Cry and Crysis); New York City has been dubbed an “urban jungle”. The urban atmosphere offers new options with relation to progressing and planning attacks. Players are able to navigate between floors and buildings, as well as a destroyed cityscape.

We used the settings above. We didn't install the high resolution DX11 tessellation pack as this is very intensive, especially for the modest GTX555.

The system averaged 42 frames per second with this engine at these settings. The frame rate dropped a few times, but remained over 30 at all times. Good results for 1080p.

  1. Thats really very sexy looking. I like it. Wonder if you can fit a better GPU in it. would the PSU handle it?

  2. Nice photos. I was going to say I wonder why they hadn’t moved to the new 3rd generation processors, but I notice they just did. good move 🙂

  3. Its a nice idea, but the power brick is massive. kinda ruins the point of having such a small case. no?
