it wont, but thats the only game im currently playing -- so for lack of a better option, I play BC2. I have Company of Heroes+expansions but that game hardly stresses hardware.

dont have that game. Actually its suprising how many games i have stopped playing in the last year. usually im playing at least 3 or for games but no. all i got installed is BC2 -- and fallout 3 and Metro 2033 but theres no MP element so i got bored of those games.... guess i should try Metro 2033 on it and run it at extreme settings.

I love that "new" smell, new game smell, new book smell, new hardware smell; when you open a package lol.

EDIT: Try some benchmarks or something. I know call of pripyat has a DX11 bench. The witcher 2 would be a very nice stress test, unfortunately the patch is delayed.

I woulda liked to get a new PC case and 6Gbps hard drives but my budget just couldnt stretch that far. I payed £365 but im getting £190 back as my friend is buying some of my old parts. so its taken the edge off upgrading a little

Fourstaff · May 26, 2011

£175 is not bad for that upgrade. Wish I can build a SB computer for £200 :/

not gonna happen unless you get a low spec non k cpu and a really budget motherboard. and since SB is ludicriously overclockable it would be a shame to buy a locked SB chip

Id love a new case but i cant honestly say i need or could justify spending the money. I've already made my mind up im getting a mechanical keyboard which i need to wait till its in stock. Zowie Celeritas keyboard is around £100.

Should be able to sell my G15 for £40 or something near that on ebay.

HuskyStarcraft has that Zowie keyboard :eek:

. Probably should stop watching so much Starcraft

I would be interested to see what frames you could get in the GTA:IV ELC bench,i only get 25+/- with everything maxed.
Oddly enough i get +60 in the normal GTA:IV using the same settings.

shoot a pm to Tatty_One if you wanted to be added to the list (same goes for all members who want to join or are not on the list yet. -- I think Mullerd is taking some time off again)

My mobo is up for grabs so start your bidding now :toast:

surely your i7 can clock higher.

It can. I just like it where it is

then you shouldnt be complaining about bottlenecking

I couldnt push my Q9550 any higher.

MoonPig · May 27, 2011

My Q9550 maxed at 4GHz.

But i'm a little OCD, so i like my FPS to be a nice even number, lol. Hence my clock, 3.8GHz.

FreedomEclipse · May 27, 2011

but im very OCD so i tend to overclock the shit out of things

Would have been nice to hit 5Ghz on this but at 4.9Ghz, i dont think it would make much of a difference at all so im happy to get this far

scaminatrix · May 27, 2011

Howdy all, router turned up just now, net's connected so say goodbye to the old scam with 56k-ness!

MightyMission said:
Scam:did you send back the pci-e cables with your red+black psu?

Nope, every time I RMA a modular PSU, I keep the cables and put them in my FF Thread

MightyMission · May 27, 2011

That's some nippy interwebz you got there!

scaminatrix · May 27, 2011

You know what, it don't seem nippy at all. Dowloading from yt and streaming, and speedtest etc. is all super quick, but it takes ages for a webpage to load

Anyone know what's going on? I'm having to hit the refresh button a lot :laugh:

MightyMission · May 27, 2011

have you tried ccleaner?
you could lose passwords etc but it clears out all the old stuff thats gathered since you started mooching t'net

+1

CCleaner is fucking excellent if you actually configure it properly. It won't remove passwords unless you choose it to.

What browser are you using?

Millennium · May 27, 2011

It might be because you are with BT. Why didn't you get a LLU isp? They are better for heavy users.

Also try google DNS servers, that should help.

scaminatrix · May 27, 2011

Fresh install of Win7 today. Seems it's worst on TPU and Googlemail. Ebay and scan are speedy. I'm using Firefox 3.6.2 (Don't like Firefox 4). Already done CCleaner, suppose I'm going to have to try a newer version of firefox.
Just tried google's DNS's, they didn't help. We went with BT mainly for the free 0800, 0845 and 0870 numbers (which we use a LOT). We're paying £33.90 pcm for unlimited anytime calls to UK landlines and unlimited download limit. Cheapest option for the unlimited download

Annoying how it's only slow with certain sites.
