SHERIFF-EMS-FIRE Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I just bought a new Alienware X51 gaming desktop and i'm wondering if the specs are any good. I don't know much about computers.Operating System: Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit.Processor: 3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i7-3770 (3.4GHz, 8MB Cache, w/ Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost 2.0)Memory: 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz (2 DIMMS)Video Card: 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 It depends how you define 'good', but in general, that is a very good machine.It should definitely be able to easily run Emergency 4 on top settings, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHERIFF-EMS-FIRE Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 thanks for the feedback. I should have looked into it better because I found out that there is a delay in production because of demand. I'm going to stick with it though my estimated delivery date isn't until 7/16/2012. I hope that it can run games like Battlefield 3 on ultra graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkboy714 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 That computer should be able to play Battlefield 3 fairly comfortably, according to its minimum requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHERIFF-EMS-FIRE Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 thanks guys my only real concern was the graphics card because people said it wasn't really powerful. here is what the tower, keyboard, and mouse looks like you can change the glow color to like 27 different colors on all 3. I think i'll light them all up green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalRooster22 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Uhh the graphics card should be fine. With 1GB of memory, you can run a lot of games on high graphics. For example, I can run GTA IV on Very High settings with my new 1GB graphics card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
