-)rStrangelove 0 Posted September 21, 2010 Nice! I'm planning to get a new pc this year, but surely before xmas (waiting times for single pc parts seem to be longer). i7 930 - how much did you overclock it? I suspect anything over 3.5Ghz should run ArmA2 very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captjohn 10 Posted September 21, 2010 not yet overclocked...i take it one day at a time. But surely gonna try it. Will see how it goes in Lagabad. what is the best nVidia drivers to use? Some say not the newest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-)rStrangelove 0 Posted September 21, 2010 I took the one the shipped with my 460 (got the MSI one), that is new enough for me and has been tested by the MSI team or so i hope. Also, be sure to install Afterburner (MSI). Can be used with any nvidia card(or even ati?) and has a great onscreen display for fps, system temps/values, time&date (lol) etc. I used Afterburner to OC my 460 within 5mins. measures card temperatures at all times for you so you can check how hot it gets after 1 hour of gaming.

PuFu 4591 Posted September 21, 2010 you can easily push the i7 930 to 4GHz stable with an after-market cooler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidpinky 11 Posted September 21, 2010 not yet overclocked...i take it one day at a time. But surely gonna try it. Will see how it goes in Lagabad.what is the best nVidia drivers to use? Some say not the newest... I had trouble with the latest official drivers but the latest beta ones seem okay. That was with SLi 285s so may not aply anyway.

-)rStrangelove 0 Posted September 22, 2010 What i'd consider is to search for somebody online that will take you with him and shows you all the tips & tricks in a coop session. Its great fun learning while doing. I did that with a guy back in ArmA I. Played 2 hours of Evolution Blue with him and the guy was constantly hitting the ground everytime some AI shot at us lol... had the fun of my life. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
