FireofDestruction

Considering that most of current AAA games are heavily dependend on the GPU's power rather the CPU's power, it makes much more sense to work with devs on optimizing it for a certain GPU (architecture) rather than working on making a PC run better on an outdated CPU architecture like the FX Pliedriver chips, which (let's be honest) still hold up VERY well. 

 

Not to mention that DICE and EA have been working with AMD very closely with Battlefield, same goes for multiple other titles. 

alot of people still use cpus to game anyway because they went to some store a bought a computer is what i was talking about not the enthusiast platform where most of us use high end gpu's and never have much of an issue

i have 290s great cards but the 970s weren't out when i bought mine go with 970's the 290's are HOT cards i mean like Sahara desert hot

if AMD worked with some game devs of major companies (rockstar, EA *pukes*,Bethesda you get the point) to make games multi-threaded...that would be a huge leap for them but i don't see

that happening the only way they could possibly top intel because their cores are so weak

well the H440 is made for silence not airflow so..i mean there is that

amd cards run really hot for gaming(nothing against amd great for price to performance just my room is small and heats up quite easily after and hour or two of gaming) i

personally would switch and go with a 750ti for running league i don't play the game but i setup that card for my brother as an E-Gpu for his laptop and it runs excellent. or

if you want more horse power than a 750Ti go with a 960

Standardized tests try an AP psychology exam...100 questions 70 minutes and then for part 2 50 minutes, 2 five paragraph essays. Took it yesterday hardest test I've ever taken, but the FCAT ( florida. Something something something) is a breeze good thing I graduate this year

I'm jealous that they have all that hardware and lots of it is just piled up in random places around the office, not even neatly put away.

all of the freaking hardware but that stress, linus is going to have grey hair by time he is 35-43

But then they just turn out extremely spoiled and expect everything handed to them later in life as well and probably lazy too

If you were a parent and well off enough to buy your kids the expensive stuff they want you probably would. Sure it can be frustrating seeing it from the outside but it doesn't mean you should dislike them for it.

That's blue/black not white/gold c'mon guys...

no no not that stupid dress don't even plz

when your physics teacher expects no one to know the isotopes of hydrogen but manage to say them both before he moves on with the lecture... deuterium and tritium

(Its cheaper refurbished, and my friend bought one and his works great. He got it about a year ago. )

 

 

I reccomend the Logitech G930. You can get it cheap on sales on Newegg and if u want it cheaper ebay may have you covered. I bought mine a few years back and have had only slight problems, my one ear seems to be able to do 360s lmao. This happened like a year after I had it (my second headset btw) and really is no big deal. I would send it back under warranty but it isn't that big of a problem and I use it daily.  I recommended this to all my friends ( we have a g930 fanclub now ) and it is fantastic. Really can't recommend it enough.

 

edit: link broke but i fixed.

tried the link still broken for me at least

Corsair H1500 or HyperX Cloud 2

liking the corsair ones a lot

well guys let me do some explaining first, i currently have turtle beaches x12s(back when i thought they were good rofl) and i've had them for about 2 years, but now one

driver has failed entirely ( left side R.I.P) and the other one is going fast. i am audio ignorant i have little knowledge in the subject but what i have picked up on is

enough to get me by. All that aside what pair of open ear headset preferable with a mic included would you guys/girls recommend?

P.s $75 max

anyone think they will change their stock cooler design?

let this thread be revived! so i have an idea...its a little ambiguous but i think i may paint one of my windforce r9 290's with a nice green color(if it turns out well then ill do the other) however it

seems like gigabyte doesn't want you to take off the metal frame because they tucked away the screws really well(was hoping someone else had done it on YT) and then i thought well maybe

i could so a small paint brush and really take my time with it, does anyone suggest against this of like why not to do this, or should i just take the whole thing apart and spray paint it??( trying

to avoid taking it apart this because then i'd have to get some thermal paste although its only a few bucks)

what games are you playing? are you recording video while playing for YT or streaming? the only logical reason for upgrading the cpu that i can actually think of is if you need the hyper threading

I also got the urge to mod after building my first full rig (I had fix and changed parts of a computer before but never done a complete build).

 

My first mod was very small I bought a Cooler Master Eisberg 240 expandable liquid cooler. I got it like for $60 shipped new in ebay, great deal but it didn't fit my Corsair Spec 03, so.... I mod my case I grab a drill a dremel and some other tools. I drilled all the rivets, removed the 5 1/4 drive bays bend and cut some metal and made the radiator fit. You cannot even tell is modded unless you remove the front panel.

 

I also created a "custom ghetto" air filter with some magnetic strips and some close net fabric from a local store.

 

Those are my small mods right now what about something like this?

similar yes the only place i'm missing an air filter is on the bottom front of my case, where i don't have fans:(

so i would like to mod something, but i'm not sure what something simple right now and work up to bigger better things later(in a few months). So what is a kinda simple mods can one do if even anything? just throw some ideas out kinda leaning toward a case mod though after watching some videos on youtube, so hit me with some ideas plz??

I'v wondered this too.

i am not alone... :lol: im not the only insane person

does anyone ever wonder what the LTT electric bill is with all of the computers turned on in whatever building their in?? i mean what five people each with 750W psu

surely that amounts to something not necessarily looking for an answer but like am i the only strange one here who wonder that???

p.s ITS OVER $9000!!!!

i'll enter this too, congrats on 500 posts there buddy

i don't know why you would do any of the things you listed, but happy birthday!

because i paid for my computer with the stock market, junkyards have many interesting things there like transformers from microwaves...which can be turned into a spot welder and i'm obsessed with chemistry, not so much the lottery more of a waste of money

but its not just any age....i'm 18 today so many things to do.....stock market,junkyards, lottery, buy dry ice/liquid nitrogen...can anyone else think of things you can do when your 18?

max settings my butt...ive been waiting on this game to come to pc for a long time...at least its coming soon

Hello all, so back in 2009 one of my moms co workers got us into WOW but our computer couldn't handle it so he built a $600 dollar system with an 8800gts, 8GB of ddr2 ,and some AMD processor in it  with the stock cooler and the case is some xion mid tower case which i found on the internet. it has a top mounted PSU with what seem to be 60mm fans but the question is 1. could i possibly mod this case a little(when i say little i mean alot actually) to fit more modern components like an i5 maybe and like a 750Ti?

P.S this computer is not for me it would be for my little brother who plays tons of games like LOL, killing floor, terria, minecraft, dont starve, simcity 2013....etc etc etc, and currently on a laptop which has an I3 processor and 8GB of ram and for the most part still turns down settings quite a bit and his birthday is upcoming
