is the puppy build from

http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/...e-Month?page=8

able to raid with graphics set above good? and have like 60 fps atleast

[vesseblah]

In 25-man at high/ultra settings with 40fps, dipping to 15-20 during big aoe.

and in 10 mans?

What resolution do you play in, and what settings would you be willing to compromise? (Say, shadows, view distance, AA, AF?)
If you'd consider overclocking, you'd be able to decrease of how low you'd dip.

Double that, probably stays at/over 60fps for most of the time, might hit 30's during big aoe. On 1920x1080 monitor.

shadows low or off(if possible)
far distance
AA i don't reazlly know what that is(i'm a complete nub in pc stuff, googled it but getting a very technological explanation)
AF same as above
and i consider overclocking.

AA is anti-aliasing, AF is anisotropic filtering.



AA in the image set to 8x, AF to 16x. AA is basically a way of simulating a higher resolution and then downscaling it, giving the effect of smoother lines.

We need to know what your monitor's resolution is. That's the biggest factor to judge what kind of performance any given setup will give you.

Yea. If you play in 1440x900, you don't need as much oomph to achieve 40-50FPS consistently as you would in 1920x1080, which is 60% more pixels that have to be generated at any given time, meaning it's less straining.

You can look that up, by rightclicking desktop and check "resolution" (assuming you have windows 7 and the monitor you will be using plugged in)
