Bonzeye Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Basically, I'm wondering how much FPS (In tf2) a ~$1000 PC build could get me. I play on 1152 x 648, and use Comanglia's config. I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studious Damon Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Whatever refresh rate your monitor caps out at. A $500 would dip below 60 fps (I would think) max settings and FHD. Your config would be even higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studious Damon Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 So most likely a $1000 build should get me a costant 100+ fps? Depends how much money you spent on the individual parts. If you spend $800 on a tv with 4k then you won't get high fps at all. Otherwise yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 A $300 potato can easily max out TF2 at max settings 60fps 1080p. With that config and that resolution (I'm assuming it's ultra low spec config), half a potato from five years ago can do it. Also, getting over 60fps is irrelevant if your monitor is 60hz (which I'm sure it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Don't know shit about this but I'm guessing you'd probly max out pretty well on highest res, highest settings. I guess it depends on your build as well. If I can get like >60 fps on my shit laptop with basically integrated graphics, I'm sure u'd be fine.

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 My portable potato can't do shit. It even overheats and turns into french fries after 20 minutes of playing. Well, TF2 is incredibly easy to run....something like this would be able to get around 1080p max settings 40fps~, then take into account that he's playing on about 30% as many pixels and with a shit config. So at his resolution, he would probably be looking at around 80+ FPS max settings. And note, that's with integrated shit graphics.

TheProphet Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 my PC cost me ~$1300 AUD and runs tf2 at 200+ fps. Its a bit over $1000 but it should give you a bit of an idea. I would guess ~100-150 fps maybe. Depends on the gpu as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oddball Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 If you get a decent GPU, atleast 100-200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ŴƬЯ-A Vakume Kleener Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I got a laptop for school this year. I paid only $250 for the laptop, and I play high settings with 50-100 fps, depending how taxing the map and models are. 1000 desktop should get you easily 100+ fps on ultra settings if you do it right. Don't buy a box PC; build one yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexlicious Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Putting out $1000 can get you beast of a computer (that can easily run games at 60fps), you just need to pick the parts that would suit your needs, google is your friend.

JayTuut Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 my computer cost much less then 1000 and it can run tf2 at 180 fps and payday 2 at max settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 If you get a decent GPU, atleast 100-200 TF2 is almost entirely CPU bound. Haswell's integrated graphics can basically max it out. Literally any gpu would suffice (an R7 250 would be enough to max out TF2 @ 1080p, which he's not even playing at -- not that I recommend getting an R7 250).

Icy Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 i5 4590 and gtx 750ti can run tf2 200 constant with comanglia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 i5 4590 and gtx 750ti can run tf2 200 constant with comanglia. Oh god...just no. Pairing an i5 with a 750Ti is just a waste for gaming. An i3+R9 380 is better in 98% of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iStruggle to Run it on Mac Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 A i5 and 750ti seems good to me if the user plans to play other newer games that use DirectX 11 and so forth. Like Elder Scrolls Online, Assasins Creed, Bioshock Infinite, the upcoming Fallout 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iStruggle to Run it on Mac Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 But all i3's are Dual Core CPU's and yes that will be fine for TF2 but not so much for newer more intensive games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 But all i3's are Dual Core CPU's and yes that will be fine for TF2 but not so much for newer more intensive games. There are only a handful of games that an i3 won't handle amazingly well (Watch Dogs, Dragon Age Inquisition, GTA V), but when paired with something like an R9 380 the GPU will still be the limiting factor.

iStruggle to Run it on Mac Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 To me it doesn't make sense to buy an i3 for a gaming computer. There's a couple things you don't cheap out on. The CPU, GPU, and the PSU. Sure it might be fine for now but a year and half down the road OP is going to have to upgrade or replace if he want to run photoshop, start editing videos or something like that. If he has a $1000 budget he should use it well so he doesn't have to upgrade sooner than he should have to. He should just buy a i5 or i7 and a GTX 970, decent 80 plus bronze or 80 plus gold PSU, 8GB of RAM (just one dimm), and the motherboard and case of his choice. An optical drive internal or external if he uses discs. Some motherboads have wireless netwoking on their feature set or he can buy a USB or PCIe wireless adapter. With a system like that he should be able to run well, .... everything at a minimum of 1920x1080 resolution. It might go a little over 1k depending on the parts but will be worth it. That being said if he is not going to be playing newer games or run different programs like photoshop or video editing then sure an i3 and mid grade GPU will be perfectly fine EDIT: I forgot the boot drive and storage. Crucial BX100 250GB and a 64MB Cache 7200 RPM hard drive for storing the steam games in his library that he does NOT play often. I highly recommend installing Team Fortress 2 on the BX100 or whichever SSD as well as other games and programs you frequently use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said an i3+an R9 380 is better than an i5 and a 750Ti, which it no question is. And just because he has $1k to spend doesn't mean he wants to -- he might just think that's what necessary in order to max out TF2. Read his first post -- he's wondering what kind of FPS he can get in TF2 on a 1152x648 monitor with a $1000 computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iStruggle to Run it on Mac Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 There's no way an i3 is better than a quad core i5 hands down. Besides a new 1920x1080 monitor can be included in the $1000. Especially with black friday deals in the coming future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An i3 is more than enough to saturate a 380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An i3+R9 380 is better in 98% of games. source games are cpu intensive. i3 and r9 380 would be good if you set every video setting to max, which im pretty sure almost no competitive player does.
