I want to upgrade my video card so i can run Bf3 and Skyrim. But on a budget of under 300$
This is my current setup.
[t]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3065/speccyswdwad.png[/t]
with 750 watt power supply.
Any suggestions?
save $30 get a 570
So my computer is feeling pretty outdated and I need to upgrade my mobo, ram and cpu. From £150 - £200. Any suggestions?
my display is stuck at 1024x768 (normally native resolution is 1440x900)
Ive tried setting it via the nVidia control panel(thinks 1024x768 is native)and the win7 resolution setter, which only goes up to 1280x720
tried setting it via my monitors buttons, but there isnt a setting for it
my gpu is a GTS250

I doubt you could do all 3 for £200
what are your current specs?

[QUOTE=Shadaez;33119321]Any way I could use Caps Lock as a mic mute button, so that if the light's on I'm 'live' and if it's off, I'm not?
[editline]4th November 2011[/editline]
ok, figured out how to make a mute button, now I need some type of indicator to see if it's muted or not on my taskbar. Anyone know of any program?[/QUOTE]
If you use autohotkey to make the caps key the mic-mute button, you can also use it to change autohotkey's taskbar icon to indicate if you live or not : [url]http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Menu.htm[/url]

[QUOTE=NightmareXx;33111070]i asked this a while ago but didnt get a response
[URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121034"]these[/URL] are my current speakers and i dont have a sound card.
what would be a nice upgrade?[/QUOTE]
does your mobo have an onboard sound card? (if it does, then I suggest buying a speaker system near the limit of the mobo)
or if it doesnt, then you'll really need some sort of a sound card to go above 2.1
Does anybody here have a Logitech MX518?
Is there a way I can make this button here "Generic Button" or "Mouse6"?

[editline]5th November 2011[/editline]
I could always make it a key that I never touch but I simply don't want it to be that way. I want for it to be its own dedicated mouse button.
I need a good free video editing program as windows movie maker is shit and won't show me previews and whatnot.
I heard Wax was good, is it? Any others that I should try?
Doesn't have to be a really amazing one, just enough to cut some parts of videos and link together clips.
So I'm gonna buy battlefield 3. Just asking how good or bad will it run on my system?

But after christmas in January, February sometime I gonna buy a new computer so it wont be those specs for that long.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;33087444]Free video editors fall into two categories: Easy, Useful.
I've yet to find a free one that works in both areas. Paid software can work so much better. I've been using Sony Vegas Pro for 6 years.
However, check out the Blender Video Editor, it might be apart of the normal Blender package, but I heard it's a good mix of free and useful.[/QUOTE]
Not my post. Never used it but it was found in this thread

It'll run horrifically.

what 4800 is that
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;33141396']It'll run horrifically.[/QUOTE]
lol no
What about his processor?
Apparently the e8400 is the same as a stock q6600 for performance
my q6600 is at 3.2GHZ and the game really punishes it.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;33142930']What about his processor?[/QUOTE]
battlefield 3 isn't very cpu intensive, in fact it's not a very intensive game at all honestly
if he's got at least a 4870 he can expect at the worst, 40 fps on low at 1080p
i saw the 4300/4500 and thought he was using that for it.

How can you say its not intensive? My 560 Ti is always at 80%-100% usage while playing, and my 2500k is always over/around 75% use.
I was in the middle of installing Sony Vegas Pro 11. And as I was entering my keygen information, I accidentley exited out of my keygen as I was about to enter my Authencation code in Vegas, what that did, was, it kept my serial number on record, and is asking for the unique Authentication code. However I exited out of my keygen, so there is no way I can get that same information back. And in Vegas it won't let me go back to the screen where I enter my serial number. Is there anyway I can fix this, or am I fucked?

because there's hardly any visual difference between the presets and at low I can easily get 100+ FPS average (GTX 570 w/Q9400)
fyi usage doesn't mean everything

Maybe you should just buy the fucking software.
I think he just admitted to pirating the software in that post.

enjoy your ban
Sony usually give out Vegas to just about everyone if you just hint at being a student, I got it for free by sending them a 2 minute email saying I was a software programmer at Leeds technology of college (which was true mind you) and they gave me a full version CD-key.
They may have stopped doing it now, but everyone and their mum was getting a copy a year ago.

My HDD drive light not being plugged in couldn't be the reason my IDE port isn't detecting the drive, could it?

Is there any reason why the Core Speed on CPU-Z shows 1612MHz on my 2500K rather than 3000 and something?
[editline]6th November 2011[/editline]
okay it occasionally goes up to 3000 something because the multiplier occasionally changes from 16x to 32x
what is happening?
