Since this game is running on the CryEngine 3 it will require quite the hefty computer to run at the maximum settings and since I've just upgraded my computer to get rid of an old i7 920 would I like to to get a general idea what computers the MWO community is sitting on.

Please if possible post using this formula:

CPU
RAM
GPU
PCB
PSU
HDD
SSD (if available)
Case (not neccecary)

Thank you for your time and let the bragging begin!

Not really.

I hate you.

Hardware currently isn't providing much gain due to the **** poor optimization.

There is certainly a difference between a dual-core laptop and a brand new rig, but compare a single card setup to an SLI setup or a i7 to an i5 (even current vs. last gen) and the specs are pretty much the same.

In fact, I see absolutely no FPS improvement regardless if I am playing at 5760x1080 or 1920x1080.

runs pretty well on max settings. The GPU gets hotter than i'd like though

Allo there
I run at all low settings with window mode but i used to run medium settings fullscreen not much fps difference anyway ere we go.

• Cpu: Amd phenom x4 9650
  
• Ram: 7 Gigs
  
• Gpu: Radeon 5850 no overclock
  
• PSU: 750watt
  
• Average Fps: 19-30 but ussually 19 on both low and medium settings
  
• I can max out anything but battlefield 3

I7 980
16GB RAM
Nvidia 580GTX
800W PSU
Average FPS at about 40-50

[Rippthrough]

Core 2 Quad (FSB overclocked to 450 from 200 gave a massive gain overall btw)
4GB DDR2
GTX260
128GB SSD (Made a big difference to minimum fps)

1600 x 900 resolution, AA off, but AF and edge blurring on.
Everything on 'Very High' apart from shadows which are off - but with some tweaking to the config file.

I average around 45-50fps in combat, sometimes flicks to ~30 in the worst spots in a brawl, some maps it's up around 70-90fps.

SSD (if available): N/A
Case (not neccecary): NZXT M59

I run at 1920x1080 at Very High settings average around 30-40fps, 60fps out of combat and plain scenes, drops to teens sometimes in firefight. I've tried all settings and it only really affects the minimum fps, so I keep it pretty. Crossfire does not help at all, the CPU overclock was good for some serious fps gains though.

Currently, I'm stuck with my older gaming machine (picture an entry-level gaming rig from late 2008) which is:

- Dual-Core E2200 @ 2.20Ghz
- Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
- 4GB RAM (only 3 in use) DDR2 @ 667MHz
- 450W PSU

After much tweaking, I got it to run MWO at ~15FPS, though it also gets the dreaded 4FPS bug every other match unless I restart the client and delete the shaders' cache - so I haven't really played much as of late.
Still, I can't really complain - this machine has served me faithfully for years, and it should be retired soon, anyway.

I hope to get a new desktop PC as of early January or late February, with:

- AMD Phenon II 965 Black Edition @ 3.4GHz
- Sapphire HD 7850 OC 1GB DDR5 (I only use one monitor)
- 8GB RAM DDR3 @ 1600GHz
- 650W PSU

I've really no idea what kind of FPS rate I'm going to squeeze out of this; hopefully at least ~45, I mean, gods, it's not like I can't optimize for low-end rigs, and I fully intend to play MWO in the lowest possible settings.

Oh, I know this is supposed to be one of those e-peen threads, but ou have to keep one thing in mind: I'm that guy whom actually uses Flamers.

Runs decently on high minus AA and with low shadows (really hoping for something in the 7000 series from Santa this year). Hardware optimization is needed, as I can bump up the clock speed on the GPU/memory and get no results at all on MWO, whereas I get a noticeable FPS increase on things like Farcry 3 or other recent games. I really only gain 5-10 FPS by switching to low, which leads me to believe MWO isn't pushing the GPU all that hard even with everything maxed out. It doesn't look bad, but not at all what I'd expect from Cryengine 3 after seeing how gorgeous Farcry 3 is on my rig.

Flame away, but I replaced my old Windows 7 gaming rig with my iMac and don't regret it one bit. It's dead silent and I haven't really tried anything that makes me run at less than full settings.

30 - 40 FPS Jumps up to 90ish when there isn't much on screen, but can drop into the teens for brawling thanks to the **** poor optimization.

Play max everything, get about 40 FPS in the thick of things. Never over 61 FPS.
