    Joy of perspective said something about that, I use an FPS mod that does the same thing, or is the same mod. IIRC AGO required either one of those mods.
  2. UnknownEngineer
    An animation or skeleton mod is doing that. Check any possible culprits nexus page and see if they have fixes for it. Otherwise install a mod that allows you to change where the arrows go, google "skyrim Arrow Gameplay Overhaul" and you should find the one I am using.

    I occasionally have drops to ~35 ish FPS, it doesn't even need to be in town. Just in some places something seems to be getting rendered that is making my system chug or something. Otherwise I am running a very stable 60FPS, not sure what that number would be uncapped, I am not going to uncap it, as ATM it breaks the damn game.

    FTFY, since we are talking nukes and stuff.

    My personal experience with Skylake, despite it theoretically being the best option, and most other users loving it has been bad. My mobo seems to be bad, and may need to be RMA'd, that or Asus's Maximus VIII Ranger/Hero mobos have driver issues that still need to be resolved. Support suggested that it was a driver issue, thus I am not yet doing an RMA, as that might not even fix the issue. http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?77522-Maximus-VIII-Hero-Freezeing-(ACPI-error-) ^^ The problem I have been having, I have quite a few options to try and fix this still, but I don't get the error often, so it isn't critical, more of a nuisance some times. That and I am lazy. ATM I am on the "wait for something better" train, otherwise pick your mobo carefully. I haven't found other nearly anything on this error besides what I linked, the only other thread I know of was created by me.

    That CPU still costs around 700€, if not more. The best price I found for it was 524€. Other places have it listed @650€ or 670€, and in some places it is 900+€. A 6700K is 360€ to 400€, It is 405€ here, and I live in Finland. Not to mention the chipset for the 3930k lacking most features that other newer motherboards have, 3930k doesn't even have PCI-E 3.0, my old Z77 had that... I upgraded to skylake pretty much immediately as my Z77 mobo was dying, and I could no longer get a replacement for such an old chip set. Either I would have had to pay 250+€ to stay on Z77, and get a motherboard that 1, wasn't a server board, 2, had PCI-E instead of PCI, 3, had even one Sata 3 for my SSD. Finding a mobo for a 3930k would prove even more difficult. Other than that it has much higher TDP, lower clock speeds.... I didn't look into this much yet, but synthetic benchmarks suggest that the 6700K beats it in performance too. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3930K I could try to find more sources

    Running 2133 ATM, could just bump up to 2400. I dont really need though, I play in borderless windows so it is locked at 60, and I get 60 prettymuch universally.

    Comment above this one makes sense, you shouldn't need to worry about anything but having them under the correct controller. Considering how I was able to do it, you should be able to too.
  9. UnknownEngineer
    excuse me but, how are they binned EVEN HIGHER than G1?
  10. UnknownEngineer
    Port numbers don't matter really matter, and if you are making a fresh install then you can change the drive letters with no problems. Otherwise letters to those drives are given in the order they are added, after installation. The way I would do it would go like this: 1. Add OS drive(s), boot, install OS. 2. Turn off computer, and add other drives, change drive letters in Windows as I want to change them. NOTE: BACK UP YOU RAID 0!!! My motherboard at least, allowed me to change the ports on my 2 HDD's, and I did that AFTER I had set up the RAID 0 volume, and put stuff in. Your might, but I wouldn't count on it. EDIT: I am pretty sure they stayed on the same controller. If you want to be sure, you could plug in your OS drives + RAID 0 drives (in the same ports as before), then installing the OS. However in my experience, the windows installation will write something to the RAID, maybe even create a partition.

    FO4 seems to use all of my 8 threads, though that means that not a single one of those cores even gets close to 100%, they hover at ~45% at best. Just cause 3 might be able to use multiple cores. Those 2 aren't really good reasons, so I'll pull the "if you want to stream your games" card on you too.

    Too bad people who already bought i7's get nothing from Intel...
  13. UnknownEngineer
    The court order was to either stop "compiler cheating" or then to be clear about doing it. They chose the latter.
  14. UnknownEngineer
    I am pretty sure this has been known for a while, Intel has since gotten a new CEO. IIRC. Plenty of reason to still be disappointed in Intel nowadays too, the drivers for Skylake are.... lacking... IME driver issues are my biggest gripe.
  15. UnknownEngineer
    6700 (non K) seems to have a lesser turbo of 4.0, as opposed to 4.2 on the K version. 6700, while IPC should be marginally better, will be slower by some amount. Not sure if it will be noticeable anywhere though.

    I actually haven't seen any James Bond movies since sky-fall, and even that one I watched of a DVD, not even a bluray.... And I don't think I have seen the one before skyfall either.
  17. UnknownEngineer
    Maybe they will make another James Bond game after they see that selling fever copies could make more money. Que the crappy movie license game by activision...

    Something makes me thing that the next Mass effect could be an MMO... No idea where I got that from.

    Avast wasn't the one that said it was selling it's customers search results, I think it was MCaffee. The only invasive thing about Avast is the popups telling me to get a VPN every now and then. And I barely notice those, I like Avast, but I haven't really tested other options all that much. Probably the last time I put money into an AV ever again, I have found my self to not really need it.
  20. UnknownEngineer
    Nope, Avast would never mark the files themselves, it would almost certainly just give me a notification. It would be really strange behaviour from an AV to do that. At least that's how I see it, the first thing I thought of was a cryptolocker, because a change like the one I observed would mean something was written to make the change. An AV wouldn't write anything to files it has processed. That at least was my initial theory. Anyhow it's gone now, and it is late here, 3AM, I need to get to sleeping.

    Well, if there is anyone out there who can give me a little scare from time to time, it would be MS. I'll need to figure out if I can see onedrive traffic somewhere, I only synch my skyrim saves, and music, though that doesn't seem to be working. 2+ GB of music and OD is using ~300MB.
  22. UnknownEngineer
    And that somehow fixed it, I guess MS just wanted my desktop for some reason... Last time I had issues with icons my SSD's writes got maxed out, my system slowed to a crawl. Atleast my OS wasn't trying to change half a billion file assosiations this time. Why did this thing happen in the first place? I don't use onedrive, and I am pretty sure it signed it self out a while back. EDIT: Apparently onedrive received an update 2 hours ago, odd that I didn't notice it until just 10 minutes ago.
  23. UnknownEngineer
    That is correct... So my Win 10 just decided to synch all my desktop icons with one-drive... Actually, the filetypes have changed too, they are not .lnk any more, the are .url. EDIT: steam icons are .url, everything else is .lnk as usual, sorry. WTF, I am going to check if they even work anymore.
  24. UnknownEngineer
    <1080p image of entire desktop I received no notification of this change, either it was done by windows 10 itself, or it was done by something malicious. (I see that as highly unlikely) Any way to change this back to normal? I preferred having a little white box on the bottom left of icons to a VERY visible green circle. Since when was this change introduced? And is it really done by windows? I remember messing up my file associations with Win7, that made adobe open all my .lnk files (quick links).
  25. UnknownEngineer
    Could just be file names with file types, not the actual data necessarily. That way you could still possibly embarrass a person with it. Or the program reads the files and targets specific types such as word, exel, PDF documents. My mom's laptop has at best, 6GB worth of that kind of data, that amount can be transferred over night. This makes me think that there probably is a threshold on how large files get targeted, say you put all you documents into a zip file with 5GB size, it wouldn't get sent. You would still be able to access said "library's" contents locally, but if you get a virus, you will only lose what you haven't backed up, nothing will be sent.
