Oh right well I'm running at 1900x1200 too I much prefer it although i guess its taxing my system more which i hadn't considered.

yeps ... i push the idea when if you want build a new game pc yet ... look for the last game (the most demanding power (BF3, COD2, AssassinCreed 3, Metro, etc...) sorted yet as technical ref for your new pc ...

then, when MWO release ... you are right with your pc ^^ and ok for well 4-5 years ...

T Hawk had ONE good point: If you're going to upgrade, don't look at MwO. Look at what you need the computer to do, and set a low point that includes MwO on it: Any i5 or Vizshera should push the game fairly well. If you're thinking next generation processors, remember that if you go intel they will PROBABLY require a new socket, and thus a new motherboard, so you may want to overbuild a little NOW as opposed to two "smaller" upgrades.

i5/i7 or Vizshera 3850 build should do you just fine, though.

played last night for the first time in atleast a month. FPS never dropped below 50 fps while in game playing(only time it dropped below 50 fps was when loading the map and waiting for the game to start). see my previous post for game settings and system specs.

I get 40-60. Guessing it will settle upwards once optimisation is done (and I don't OC at all - yet).

i7 2600k
8gb ram
670 GTX
Running 1920x1080
Win 7 pro

Add a Sapphire HD 7970 OC 3GB card and I get 60+ FPS which drops to 40-45 in battle under heavy fire.

[Hakkukakt]

for myself and because the game is not optimized yet for SLI, i get 30 (+/- 5) fps in game ... 60 fps on mechlab

ultrahigh detail (motion blur off, AA off, vsynch off) 5880x1080
i5 3570k
16 Go Ram
SLI GTX680 4Go
3 x 27" 1920x1080

I upgraded from a qx9650 @ 3.8ghz w/ 8gb RAM & amd 6950 to an i7-3770k @ 4.3ghz w/ 32gb RAM & amd 6950.

before my FPS was ~45 with no action or a single mech on screen, down to ~25 in battle
now it's ~75 with no action and it doesn't really drop below 50 in battle

I mostly did the upgrade because I run multiple VMs so I need the better virtualization support (and AES acceleration for truecrypt) and wanted more RAM for the VMs. The FPS bump was a nice bonus.

I average 60 when I play on a single monitor, 1920 x 1080 with everything set on high, v-sync off.

i5 2500k @ 4.3 GHz w/aftermarket cooler
8GB G.Skill
GTX 660 Ti 2GB
Samsung 830 SSD

now on triple monitors @ 5760 x 1080 with the same settings I average 45 FPS.

I'll probably throw more RAM at it because I am going to add a fourth monitor so I can **** around on the Internet and stuff while gaming but what I have noticed from my benchmarking runs is the GPU is absolutely pegged when the game is running but the CPU cores are not being stressed much.

RAM won't help you with a forth monitor, because it requires VRAM of which you only have 2GB.
Thats not to say it wont work for an accessory monitor tho, but 4 monitors may be a stretch for a single 2GB card.

The ram is for programs I would run solely on the 4th card. I have a smaller monitor on it already so 4 works fine, just not using it for gaming. I am just afraid that if I use it and play around with more open programs I will start chewing up ram and mucking up things.

If you have 8GB you will be more than fine for basic multi tasking.
