tonschuh 3 Posted April 8, 2014 yes, haswell cpu/2400er ram and to make shure you have good fps when you are zooming into vegetation and grass with maxed atoc/aa you need a GTX780 or R9 290 (with custom cooling). http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-290x-hawaii-review,3650-8.html (the only bench with a R9 290 I found) Nice find. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakson 1 Posted April 9, 2014 This is exactly what I meant :p Unless he's got something specific in mind such as 3D modelling, image/video editing et cetera that's a really dumb computer. If I remember correctly Titans are actually worse when playing on small monitors than the weaker graphic cards because they’re made for big screens. More expensive isn’t always better. I’d question the mobo, CPU, water cooler, memories, SSD and graphics card choice if it’s meant to be a gaming computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangtail 0 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Hey guys. I'm looking at buying a new computer. I'm pretty much set at getting the following: Mobo: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z CPU: AMD FX-9590 4.7ghz 8-core Water cooler: Silverstone Tundra TD02 RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 32GB 1600MHz 4x8gb chips Main HD: Intel® SSD 530 Series 240GB Now, what graphics card do I get? I'm sort of inbetween a crossfire setup of 2 MSI Radeon R9 290 or 1 Gainward GeForce GTX TITAN BLACK. (I'm most likely just gonna be running a single monitor though) I read some reviews that said the first GTX Titan wasn't as good as a dual setup for 290's, but this is a new version which seems to be scoring pretty high at certain benchmark websites.. The GTX Titan is about 200$ more expensive than a dual setup of 290's though, but I'm not exactly buying a budget computer, so price doesnt really matter anyway... Any input? With 780Ti etc out there, Titans are not a great idea unless you run with multiple monitors or 4K (I've definitely seen over 5GB usage at this point). I'd avoid Crossfire like the G'damned plague, I briefly owned 2 x 290x (purchased to see if the 'CF is so much better now' jibba jabba was justified after I heard the same nonsense with 7970 CF and was equally disappointed) and I was less than impressed with them. CF is still inferior to SLI when it comes to multi GPU (although, it has improved - I will give AMD that). Another check mark in the plus column for AMD was the integrated water cooling on the new 295x2 (I really hope this is a trend for high end video cards). Anyway, long story short, if you are going multi GPU, go with 780Tis (there will be a 6GB version in June/July iirc, but it will no doubt be about the same price as a Titan and totally unnecessary unless you are playing at a very high res).

eXpouk 10 Posted April 9, 2014 Looking for some upgrade advice. Currently running: i5 760 @ 3.6Ghz 560ti 4GB DDR3 1333 Would upgrading to something like the following be worth the money in terms of performance. Currently I can run A3 pretty well on medium settings, get around 60fps on SP with most things on Medium and around 2K view distance. i5 3570K GTX 760 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Would cost around £450 for the upgrade. How much performance increase would I get? Please help. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much performance increase would I get? Please help. :) Hey. Why not upgrade to the latest 4670K? With that and the other upgrades you can check out my signature. All max except view/object distance around 3200 and object/terrain detail standard/high at about 40-60 fps something. That’s in a small singleplayer mission though. Showcase: Infantry basically. Some of the other showcases are 10 worse and with more and more AI you’re eventually going down to 10-20 fps. Multiplayer is very different depending on a lot of things such as server or mission though. I believe it will be a good upgrade in all games… actually check out my signature. I had a comparable CPU, same graphics card and same memories and now I have a 4770K (=4670K) with a 770 (slightly stronger than the 760 and completely worth it if you can afford it, cost-efficiency wise) and 16GB 1600 MHz memories (=8GB, the extra 8GB do nothing AFAIK). Anyways that’s a good upgrade at a good cost assuming a motherboard is included in the cost. You’re going to need a new motherboard for the new CPU naturally.

pooroldspike 129 Posted April 13, 2014 Help! I just bought a new PC with Win 7 and an Nvidia GTX 770, but I can't find the Nvidia Control Panel! On my old PC it could be brought up by simply right-clicking the Desktop, but nothing happens when I do that on my new PC. I've looked in the Nvidia file on my system but I still can't find a way to open its Control Panel. Any suggestions? I need the Nvidia Control Panel so I can fine-tune display settings etc, and there's also a magic button in there that I need to kill any picture stretching on certain resolutions.

Groove_C 267 Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Have my GTX Titan running oc'ed for 7 month or so @ 1202/7400 MHz (355 GB/s) 1.21 V with EVGA ACX cooler and EVGA backplate. 16 GB RAM Corsair Dominator 2133 MHz 9-11-10-27 2T 1.5 V @ 10-11-11-30 1T 1.65V 860 Watt Corsair AX860i PSU Corsair Carbide Air540 case with 3x120 mm front intake, 1x120 mm rear outtake and 2x120 mm up outtake. SSD Playing essentially MP @ 1680x1050. I think that so far everything is ok with my rig. But my CPU is an old i5-760 4x2.8 GHz @ 4x4.066 GHz 1.34 V. I plan to switch later to 1920x1200 and wanna record my gaming sessions in MP. 2 questions: will i7-4930k oc'ed to 6x4.4-4.6 GHz give me better FPS in MP (PvE oriented missions like Domination) while recording compared to i7-4770k @ 4x4.4-4.6GHz? will i7-4930k oc'ed to 6x4.4-4.6 GHz unleash MORE my oc'ed GTX Titan in MP (PvE oriented missions like Domination) compared to i7-4770k @ 4x4.4-4.6GHz?

Where recording is concerned, I've never actually tested but I suspect it will have little or no impact based on my experience with other software in that regard. I wouldn't switch to X-79 now at any rate, X-99 is not far off and while I doubt it will do that much for performance in games, it's a nice platform with DDR4, SATA 6 across the board etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matagreazy 10 Posted April 30, 2014 So I want to buy this game but I want to know if anyone has played this game on a boot camped macbook pro 2012. It is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB of memory and 500 ram and Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. And I split everything equally when I partitioned my computer. So has anyone played with this/ what were your results. I play Dayz and it looks great even though I put the settings on pretty low. I have heard Arma3 pushes your computer to its limits.

My old CPU that was only about as strong as yours could only do medium-high settings with about 800 meters object distance and 50 fps average in small missions though. However that was with a 560 Ti 1024MB that seems to be ten times stronger than Intel HD Graphics 3000 384... your graphics card just isn't made for gaming at all. Some benchmarks online show that decent games at least will start up with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 but then with a much stronger CPU. If you can play DayZ you should be able to play ARMA on the lowest settings somewhere about but I doubt it would be enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's such a shame, I can't install a better graphics card. I love my Mac, especially for the things I used to do, and for school. But now that I've come across some games that I feel would be awesome I can't play them. But yeah I'm just happy Dayz works, that's the main reason I partitioned my Mac to begin with. ---------- Post added at 22:00 ---------- Previous post was at 21:56 ---------- Hopefully one day I will get a PC for gaming and still have a Mac to do all the things I love about the Mac.
