  1. frame rate is set to unlimited, v sync is off, Ive been playing minecraft for ages so I know what the deal is with the settings but its just rubbish..... In a standard world i get about 150fps but once I get things going it drops to 60ish and every 5-10 seconds i get this stutter?
  2. i dont even have an option for openGL? where is it? and yeah, i Know
  3. Please can somebody help me. I cant get minecraft to run over 90fps Ive checked everything I can think off.. When i go on server based games i struggle to get over 20fps yet bf4 runs at about 70/80. THis is all max settings.
  4. Does anybody know if this is a suitable replacement for a MacBooks hard-drive? Ive filled the 500GB HDD and I can tell its on its way out anyway, it keeps making the famous noises etc, Everything is backed up to my PC so its ok http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-seagate-momentus-xt-25-solid-state-hybrid-drive-sata-iii-6gbs-8gb-ssd-64mb-cache-5400rpm-pc-mac Will that work ok though? Im worried about the fact it doesn't have a Free-Fall sensor? Is this important? I was SSD performance but don't want to loose out on storage. Cheers
  5. Youll get some serious phase issues with 4 subs? buy 2 biggens and make life easy?
  6. I've tired the firmware update and it failed? Tried a few times, not sure what it is, and I would think it's the mount but it's not all the time
  7. I have corsair h80i and it makes this weird rattling noise which is very annoying, Ive tried changing the fan speeds and things when it makes it but it doesn't go away, however if i turn of my computer and turn it back on it wont rattle. it seems that 60% of the time i boot up, it rattles and if i turn it off and turn it back on it doesn't rattle. I honestly have no idea what it is but its defiantly the h80i. It usually starts when the light comes on .. and it has made the noise before i tried any overclocking. Help?
  8. I have this monitor and its spot on, Ignore what everybody says, Im more than happy with it and im sure you will be too
  9. Hi, Can anybody recommend some good anti virus software? I have bought norton but apparently its not very good? Help?
  10. Hi Guys, I'm looking for a couple of fans, Either 120mm or 140mm will fit. I want the green LED's in them but arn't sure which ones to get, I have a razer keyboard and mouse so would like it to match that shade of bright green. Are these any good? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120mm-nzxt-fz-120mm-13-blades-fan-green-led-1200rpm http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120mm-cooler-master-sickleflow-green-led-quiet-case-fan Cheers.
  11. Has anybody got any ideas when the non reference coolers, will be available? I originally wanted a AMD 7990 but I cant find it available anywhere, Was looking to pay around £450 for it. Does anybody know a website where these are available at this price?
  12. Not too sure about your budget but Bose Companion 2's are small and cheap. Good sound decent bass with no sub, Theyre around £90. Can you fit a sub? i recommend you expand your budget and if you give us some more info about what your looking for in the speakers we can help you better
  13. I vote picture of the hand next to a ruler!!
  14. 27" is abit to big, 24" is the limit. What do you guys think, will i notice the difference between 1ms and 5ms. EG TA - IPS?
  15. Anybody got any recommendations? I just don't want the colours to look super faded and bland, neither do i want a noticeable response time, I want that instant feel.
  16. I need help choosing a monitor, I'm going to use it for 99% gaming and 1% watching Films/YouTube. Around 24", need a dual dvi and HDMI input, 1 for Xbox 360, 1 for PC. Colours are important to me but id rather not sacrifice any performance at all. I was looking at a 144hz Asus but i'm tempted to look into a IPS as i think the 'dull' colours would annoy me. The Benq that Linus rates isn't available in the UK (or i haven't found it) Can anybody recommend a good monitor with quick response time, nice colours, good for gaming, maybe a IPS. Budget: £350. Asus - http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VG248QE/ Cheers.
  17. Bose Musicmonitor, Small nice sounding well balanced speaker... I use them
  18. -Eyal 8.8/10 High end system right Durrrrrrr!
  19. go with whatever fits your budget best, do you need the extra few fps for £150?
  20. Not fussed about performance difference, was just curios which is the better of the 2, is the 4930k going to be noticeably quicker?
  21. So I may have wasted a bit of money on the 4820k? Anybody know anything on overclocking headroom on both?
  22. Just out of curiosity, Which is the best CPU, I understand there is a price gap but which is the best performing. I have just ordered a system with a Intel 4th Gen, Ivy Bridge-E 4820K 3.7Ghz. My friend has just ordered a system with Intel 4th Gen, Haswell 4770K 3.5Ghz. I was also going to get a 4770K but for obvious reasons didn't want the same parts, anyway. Which is going to give the better performance for gaming? Crisis 3 Etc. Straight answers Peace out! Also whats the difference between, Ivy Bridge, Ivy Bridge-E and Haswell.
  23. Got a 850W power supply so it should be enough, Everything is due to arrive early December... the only thing i need is a monitor... I'm usually pretty swtiched on when it comes to tech but I just wanted to to what to look out for any common mistakes.. After all, how hard can it be ?
  24. If i ordered it without a graphics card will it matter if i don't boot it up before installing? or should i boot up download the drivers first? If i'm using the dvi plug for the monitor, will it still display the imagine ? or should i use the mobo to install the drivers then swap? Thankss.
  25. Hi everybody, First post. Just wondering how difficult is it to install a GPU? I'm a complete Noob and this is my first gaming pc, its due for delivery soon and I am looking to install a AMD 7990, there will be no Pin plugs going to it. Is there anything i need to watch out for? or should it be fairly straight forward if i follow a video? Thanks,
