Does the Alienware 3-Way SLI Performance Desktop good.http://alienware.com/product_pages/desktop_all_default.aspxIf it is can anyone tell me how to get a cheaper pc with the same components?Thank You.PC to play Crysis
3-way SLI is a stupidly huge waste of money. You can get it for probably $1500-$2000 cheaper than the $5000 that Alienware is asking, if you were to build the computer yourself; an even still its a waste of money. But if you're looking to play Crysis, more than anything, three 8800 Ultras are barely going to be any better than two 8800 Ultras, as seen here: [url]http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3183%26p=3[/url]
The only games that are going to see good extra performance are games that are already going to run just fine on a single-card setup anyway.
EDIT: I actully just looked at the Alienware link, and it seems that the $5000 price tag is still for the normal 2-card SLI configuration. Going up to three 8800GTXs you're looking at $6,300. In that case, building this computer yourself would probably save you more like $3000-$4000.PC to play Crysis
Like ProudLarry said, don't get 3-way SLI.Secondly, buy the parts yourself and let BestBuy's Geek Squad build it for you. Thirdly, ask this in PC Hardware Discussion. And don't expect to max out Crysis on any current rig.
A 8800 GT is more than enought to paly this game with all on High at 1280 x 960 above 45 fps -without AA-. To Very High at 1680 x 1050 60 fps sorry but there's no hardware at the moment. Anyway, with the GT looks awesome. In any case, SLI/Crossfire solutions are always ineffective in terms of cost/performantce, wat/performance...
