    Depends on what server you are playing. Look for vehicles that you can sell for a lot of money. For example a fuel truck sells for 3 x 10oz bars. Other military vehicles sell for about one 10oz bar. A medical vodnik also sells for 3 x 10oz bars. Look for helicopters to sell. Little birds are quite valuable. However its best to play with a minimum of 2 people. That way you can take two cars, sell one and then drive around to find another vehicle to sell. If you have a helicopter dont sell it right away. Use it to scout out the area and only select high value cars like unarmed humvees, vodniks or any military vehicle (some you can sell, some you cant). Cars like BMW, Alpha romeo sell for around 5oz so they're not the best cars to sell but they might just have to do. Sometimes its just better to go into residential and markets to look for red bull, orange drink and mountain dew. they sell for around 2 or 3oz gold each. but it will take you a long time to afford a safe selling drinks.  

     

    My friend and I were able to purchase a safe after about 8hrs of gameplay. The server we were on only had about 250-300 cars and a lot of people. It might take you less time though. However you have to be careful going up to Klen to purchase a safe with 120oz of gold on you. I'd only buy a safe in the morning when less people are on. We purchased a safe and about 15 seconds later a huey popped up from behind a hill and took us out. So just keep it in mind.

    Sorry guys if this has been already explained and mentioned, I haven't been able to read the whole thread just yet, but the SA is going to be much better optimized than the DayZ mod, correct? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes since they're using a completely different engine to suit the game and I'd expect it to run better. However I'm not exactly sure if this is the case. Also is there any information regarding what loot/weapons will be found in the SA game or what has been taken out from it? or will we find out about it only once it's (SA) released? Thank you in advance.

    We need a lot more information than just "alienware m17x". what generation of alienware is it? r3, r4 or r5? Most importantly what graphics card does it have? What CPU and what hard drives do you have? even SSDs can have a slight impact on gameplay. if you've got a GTX 660m or higher you will be able to run the game but not on max. maybe at around 30fps with settings at medium and some on high while post processing and other effects disabled. give us more info and we can give a more detailed reply. 

     

    Edit: Have you bought the laptop already or are you looking at buying one?

    What power supply do you have? what wattage? If you have around 500W it should be ok. Double check the power consumption of the graphics card, when you decide to buy one.

    also i did a bit of searching and you might know already about it but there are a few online stores that people say have good prices in portugal

    hope thats of any use.

    also if you want here's a cool little tool that might help you calculate how big of a power supply you'll need for your PC

    Damn :|

    What I should upgrade despite the Graphics Card to get a decent fps or it is just the graphics card?

    With the equipment you have there nothing really will improve your fps by much compared to getting a better gfx card.

    My recommendation would be not to look at the latest gen cards ie 600 or 700 nvidia series or the ati 7000/8000 series. ignore them since the prices are going to be higher on those than for older cards.

    low to mid performing cards (for nvidia) are labeled GT ( like the 630GT) but mid-high end cards are GTX. if you can find like i said a gtx 560 or even a gtx 460 for around the same price you will get much better results than that 630gt. I wouldn't spend any money on anything but a gfx card in your instance. You could put a bit more ram in your pc but you'll notice better results by spending the money on the graphics card than you would on RAM.

    Oh you live in portugal, that might make it a bit harder to find a good deal :blush:

    80 bucks isn't a lot of money, not saying you should go and buy a $500 card, but still.

    Do you play on a 1080p monitor?

    If I were you I'd buy a secondhand gfx card, it will be cheaper and you'll be able to get something that performs better.

    on ebay i've found a GTX 560 for around 90 bucks. Both of those cards that you listed aren't very good. My best recommendation is try to save up a bit more because you will be disappointed with both of those cards pretty soon. You might be put off by getting a second hand card but I reckon it would be a better bang for the buck
