Yea there's a ton of RAM for sale for less than that. I'm seriously considering the 16GB for £100 from Aria...

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

That seems a pretty good deal for 16gb that price,would you use all of it in one machine?
RamDisk springs to mind!

scaminatrix · Jun 23, 2011

Yea, I'd use it in my video editing rig. My biggest project uses about 25GB of working vid, so 16GB isn't even enough for optimal performance in my rig :nutkick:

I was thinking about RAMdisk for a pagefile, but it always causes arguments from people insisting it's usless. And I'd need at least 32GB to do that. Damn my wish list gets bigger every time I think about it!!

InnocentCriminal · Jun 23, 2011

I want 8GB of RAM.

I need to magically find £50 and then £80 for an Fractal Design Arc case.

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

i need 4 gb and a mobo,and some dragon skin fx

the finally i may be able to get down to some cubase activity without a crash every couple of minutes...
oh and a hard drive that doesnt give warnings in hd tune,and some ddr1,and a gpu oh and and...
mm i would just load games into the ramdisk,for proper usage it would probably be cheaper to get a hugh jass usb ?http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=3495

Packaging fail....

So 2 of these big boxes came through the post today....

and when i opened them up

which muppet packed my order up that couldnt fit 2 of these fans that were bought at the same time in the same box?

as you can see theres was plenty of room to stick 2 fans in the 1 box.

What a wasted of cardboard.

Arkham asylum however arrived with all the letters as it was small enough to fit through my letterbox. they use the same packaging as Amazon uses when you order DVDs or games from them....now thats a smart idea.

not so smart is how they dropped 1 small fan in 2 big boxes.

Muppets.

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

hope your fans are alright.
Enjoy arkham asylum!
good timing too,you should be ready for arkham city by the time you completed the first one

Might have to mess about with a RAMDisk at some point, I'll try it on the gaming rig first and see what happens lol

There isn't an emoticon that can describe the level of facepalm that is required for an event like this. Seriously, that's just epically stupid.

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

tell you what scam,throw in a gpu,lets say maybe a 3850 or whatever its called and you might well have a deal

scaminatrix · Jun 23, 2011

Oh SCHIIT I was supposed to ship you this 3650 wasn't I :twitch:

man I should get off my arse and ship these bits!! I've got a couple of other bits that I've been meaning to post, but delays have been savage recently.
Nope, no excuses, I've performed sub-par. I'll get it done today.

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

Get yer schit together!!
just kidding mate its no problem,i still owe you a bit so i can hardly grumble!
speaking of which please have a look back over messages and let me know how much?
i am interested in the ram in all honesty but i need keep things cheap as poss unless these computers i have on ebay actually get paid for,they been sold for weeks

My batman arkham arrived today (also payed £1 more). Did you get yours?

edit: NM see you got it above. Lol on the fan packages !

Bo$$ · Jun 23, 2011

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147538 - i started this but missed the offer, now all the things i want are on offer at the same time!!!

I just looked up year 10 and its like 14 and 15 year olds! Come on man you cant be 14 or 15 years old! Year 10 is 3rd year in Scotland. Ive never really heard of GCSE being done in year 10.

you do lots of GCSEs in year 10 for some reason... i never understood it either but oh well lol

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

With Batman:AA maxed settings+physx maxed brings my sli 470s to the floor!
though an intel system would probably perform better,it will still dip below 60 fps in points.
though metro is the harshest i seen yet

What, if i turn down the AA to 4 i can max Batman?

sounds like an SLI glitch or some dodgy DX11 thing

MightyMission · Jun 23, 2011

with a gts 250? not a chance mate,maybe if you disable physx and AA,run the built in bench and see,its quite pretty even without physx though.

i cant do the bench atm as i am running win7x64 on one single solitary lonesome undernourished stick of 1gb 533 ddr2 lol

after playing through the entire game with physx and AA i accepted your challenge

Benchmark for 3 mins (minimum frame rate is 0 as the backup software kicked in and froze the hard drive for about 2-3 seconds)

Upload another image

My settings (see if theres anything unusual besides the res, and going from 900 to 1080 isn't going to change it from a gts 250 runner to struggling to run on SLI)

i have however found a driver bug with Batman, in that the hardware accelerated physx will be set to run of cpu and slow to a crawl if you leave it on auto, go into your settings, change it from auto to a graphics card and you'll gain a lot of FPS
