    Installed the consumer preview or whatever it's called at the weekend on a new SSD, mostly liking it, can't get MS office to install for the life of me though, get a 1603 error and googled all over for the answer but can't find one :(

    iirc ive had the same error message with office, think it was a .Net or VC++ redistributable that was missing..

    The link i posted just proves that the human eye won't tell a difference past certain FPS. That's why the players noted no differences between systems. The point in the article is about the mind of the player if he knew what system he was playing on.

    *snip*

    Again the point in the link is that when the top end systems were tested, the majority of gamers could not distinguish the Intel as the fastest system. The reason is probably because in both systems minimum FPS didn't drop to a point where the human eye could detect loss of smoothness.

    OK.. but in that link it compares two $500 machines.. thats budget. not even close to top end. You sure you gave us the right link?

    Are you joking?

    No one who's actually serious about gaming gives a damn about integrated graphics. Great if youre on a super budget and want to play console ports.... Good luck playing arma on it.

    Try again! And put some effort in to it this time...

    Edit:

    Lets put everything into perspective. Sub £100 CPUs.

    Tiny difference between all the CPUs when you add a dedicated graphics card.

    Without dedicated graphics, regardless if its AMD or Intel, its a complete waste of time. 17 FPS without even turning on AF or AA? yeah...

    @TimRiceSE

    You have to consider the price of the entire platform. :rolleyes:

    so.. the only other difference would be the price of the motherboard?

    Cheapest AM3 mobo i can find is 439 SEK.

    Cheapest LGA1155 mobo i can find is 539 SEK.

    100 SEK i.e. 10 GBP / 15 USD. Yeah, that'll break the bank.

    did you check yourself or are you just assuming that AMD must be OMG!111 much better value? Cos its not.

    Or by all means, prove me wrong.

    100 fps? wow!

    That beats my 20-30 fps!!

    Arma 3 is nopt out till end of year, plenty of time for new CPUs to hit the market and prices for current ones to drop significantly.

    theyre running 590GTX graphics card, wihtout AA or AF so the bottleneck will be the CPU..

    No one has yet recommended a Bulldozer CPU. Just because AMD's Bulldozer line of CPU's was a failure, doesn't mean all of them are. My AMD Phenom II X6 1100T is an awesome processor, AMD really offers the best bang for your buck. I am currently overclocking mine and have so far made it to 4.0Ghz.

    Tell me, what is wrong with AMD CPU's? Don't just tell me that Intel has more power.

    Well, OK, theres nothing "wrong" with them. but are they really better "bang for the buck" up to a certain point maybe and then... nothing. no competition at all above low-mid range.

    lets have a look shall we?

    Lets take, for example, this benchmark, from a bulldozer review.

    http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/10/12/amd-fx-8150-review/9

    Notice at standard clock speeds,

    intel i5 2500k - Avg: 100fps

    amd phenom 3 x6 1100T BE - Avg: 68 fps

    and now price, currently can find:

    i5 2500k at 1839 SEK

    AMD 1100T BE at 1799 SEK

    and now TDP (thermal design power)

    i5 2500k 95 watt

    AMD 1100T BE 125 watt

    ...

    I dont know, you tell me, whats better?

    someone mentioned overclocking - i5 2500k can do 5ghz on AIR cooling...

    Although I really do have difficulty recommending a 1 year old CPU.. so.. back to the topic, wait for ivy bridge before you buy anything... (intels next gen which due to be released Q1/2 this year)

    Anyone know any player stats? number on each faction etc? class distribution..

    While some people might not like the subscription pay model, there certainly is a hell of a lot of replayability in MMOs... ofc the argument that ArmA has infinite replayability and has a one off cost will certainly come up.. but then again, my girlfriend isnt willing to sit and pretend we're driving a tank with me all evening, whereas she's more than happy to run around in a MMO. so i'll take what i can get...

    ;2084475']Haven't played it as I'm not fond of the whole pay a increased amount of cash for the game compared to others and then pay to play the game you already bought each month' date=' the trailers are great but it doesn't reflect the actual gameplay.

    Some here:

    Have played some, enjoyed it.

    "Aww mahn did you see those rad explosions? Explosions are awwsum mahn! I'm so psyched after seeing them, it just makes my blood pump and feel alive mahn! I'm totally going to buy it because it had so many explosions in the video mahn! Rad."
