Ok so, after countless site searchings, reading reviews, pulling my hair out, and all that goof stuff. I find myself here. I've read good and bad reviews and decided I am going to purchase either a lvl 2 or 3 Vanquish.
That being said, the only and I do mean only game I play is Secondlife. (Lame I know, but I'm addicted) I've read that there is a lvl 2 with the 650 ti boost, but I can't find it on the site anymore. :( is it still available even? Also with the level 2 is only has a 430w power supply, now I am sure DS knows what they are doing but I like to be more safe than sorry and was wondering if this is up gradable, by either myself or DS. I am also wondering if anyone recommends the lvl 3? Personally I hate windows 8 lol, and hoping I won't run into any problems installing my copy of win 7 after I receive my rig. Anyways, just looking for opinions mostly on which set up would be better for me. Thanks! :) |

Hi cass0503..... The Vanquish 2 recently changed from the gtx 650ti boost to the R9-270. The 270 is a faster gaming card by about 10% so that's good. The 430w psu works for that setup and is easily upgradable in the future if needed.
The Vanquish 3 for another $200 does give you a 4 core vs 2 core cpu and a faster video card, the gtx 760, by about 20-25%. I don't know that game so can't comment. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response! I prefer nvidia as the game tends to work better with those cards. Though I am pretty sure I am going with the lvl 3.

I agree with Nvidia over AMD. If you can, go Vanquish 3. A better card, cpu and power supply for any future upgrade.
Good luck. |
