I'm thinking of getting a new graphics card (http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-DL-DVI-I-DL-DVI-D-Graphics-11242-13-20G/dp/B016LE95TK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452630004&sr=8-1&keywords=sapphire+radeon+nitro+r9+380), for gaming, and for mod tools, but might get a new cpu fan (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ZRITMM8YDEQM&coliid=I2MWDQXOS1TYB8&psc=1) and case (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013DYXG4Q/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ZRITMM8YDEQM&coliid=I17PTNU5RKWKJP) first... :-\
I've upped my ram already just to play the game. I only had 8 so I got 16, and now the game runs at 9+, :o
I am using 8GB Ram and memory usage is around 6GB on Medium Settings. Some people have reported VRAM usuage at 5+GB on Ultra. :o
I got a "new" PC not just for BO3 though.
tbh prob will still be able to run the new radiant. they gave us things like "cubic clipping" in which to support it, most post rendering effects are not applied in "editors" at all, except in specific views ( eg no nml or spcs displayed in waw radiant, that will likely be the case in that one too prob, as its seen as "unnecessary" to see during that stage, and should be checked "in engine - "run map after compile" )
The only issue is likely to be long wait times, and maybe a laggy interface
but yea i too upgraded
I7 core
32GB ram
Nvidia GTX 960
750w PSU
So I'm not sure if my pc will run blops 3 smooth enough to be playable.
Maybe someone could tell me what I should upgrade so things will run smoothly.
My pc is a 2013 alienware x51 r5. Only reason I bought it was to make and play waw for custom zombies.
- i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 Ghz
- Nvidia geforce gtx 660
- 16 gb of some kind of ram
I think get a better GPU and you'll be good to go.Ya that's what I was kinda figuring by looking at other peoples (gtx 970 seems like light years past my 660) but tbh I really have no idea.

The 660 should be just fine for 1080P 60FPS on medium(with other more intensive effects turned off).Thanks. Do you know if the 960s is the same dimensions as the 660 because the alienware x51 case is quite compact
If you do want to crank up the options(including the intensive affects) i'd recommend getting a GTX 960 4GB. You shouldn't need a new power supply as the GTX 960 actually consumes less power than the 660(this is assuming your power supply has an 8-pin power connector, which is required for some GTX 960s).
For an idea of what actual in-game performance might look like(for the GTX 960), this YouTube video should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okHma4rP1ao (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okHma4rP1ao)

Depends on the model of the GPU. From what i've seen the 51x has a modular graphics tray that fits into the PCI Express slot which has about 2 inches of headroom in terms of length. Unless the modular tray is in the way or something actually uses that space you shouldn't have any trouble fitting one of the larger models in there.Ya I was looking at the fans. I found a msi one that would work but it was on 2gb and twice as much to buy as the one you showed me which is 4gb. Thanks for looking.
However, because of the small form factor your going to want a blower style cooler like the 660 supposedly has(see below video).
Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133589 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133589)
Btw, does this look like your model? It does have a 660 but i'm not sure on the exact model:Spoiler: click to open...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiqC-fgyOUY
Just ordered new PC :D

Hitman is that a pre-built PC or did you put that together yourself? Also a Skylake processor is not needed as the performance difference between Haswell and Skylake is minimal. I'm Currently running an i5 4690 with a GTX 970 and 16GB RAM and it handles Black Ops 3 on the highest settings with about 90-120 FPS.
Finally it has come where Hitman no longer plays at 20FPS and his screen no longer flickers, also I assume you're getting a 1080p screen as well or you have one? Because anything less and tbh you're wasting money on that 970. :kidding:
Thanks. Do you know if the 960s is the same dimensions as the 660 because the alienware x51 case is quite compact660Ti owner here. Installed my brother's 960 for Christmas. It is wider, so you'll have to have space on the side/above of the case when you plug it into the mobo. I do believe it's slightly thicker but not enough to make a difference.
