Processor power should be the same, but my laptop graphic card is like the bare minimum to play this game....the frame rate keeps dip below 30fps
so i need a desktop gpu, and GoldFries(Lyn Admin) stated in his blog that HD5850 is the best bang for buck currently haha
nvm, can always upgrade next time when new games come out....cause my budget can go up to rm1500 only (without monitor and keyboard, only rig)
is it you play at Full HD?
does it matter if i get a core i3 for my rig? will bottleneck or not?
and i prefer first hand gc..and i confirm between HD5850 or maybe GTX460..dunno which one better...
at least can let me play 1400x900 resolution with high settings smooth..
playing at 1920x1080

so at ur settings, mayb can go till ultra also.
dunno much bout bottleneck, but pairing of 5850 with i3 i doubt can cause much bottleneck.
but games using cpu intensive, u might feel/suffer from it.
i think it will be best to get i2400(i2500 also juz few bucks away) + 5850.
ur 1.5k inclusive of = cpu+mobo+4gb ram+gc+psu+hdd? casing need bo?
