I have an HD Radeon 4890, and a q6600 processor (not oc'd) Is it still normal to get really low framerates at points in games like oblivion? And occasional drops from 60 in games like killing floor and team fortress 2. I assume that its my cpu but I would like some advice before upgrading. Sorry, meant to add this is with max settings.
try and OC that q6600
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;30878555']try and OC that q6600[/QUOTE] I know but as it is at stock, is it still normal to get low fps in games like oblivion with a gpu as powerful as mine?
[QUOTE=rapmaster;30878730]I know but as it is at stock, is it still normal to get low fps in games like oblivion with a gpu as powerful as mine?[/QUOTE] IIRC oblivion is a buggy as fuck console port.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;30879069']IIRC oblivion is a buggy as fuck console port.[/QUOTE] I get around 30-50fps in brink and crysis 2. That seems a decent fps for my specs right?
So I was messing around, watching videos on Youtube, just having fun earlier when the power went out. Computer shuts off, all that, eh. But now, I turn my computer back on and I can't watch Youtube videos. This is all I see: [img]http://gyazo.com/9c48ffb9fa3f074f8e1c7864d8425542.png[/img] It's only at Youtube. I can still watch videos at other sites. I can also watch embedded videos here on FP for example. But the main site? Nope. So far I've tried updating Adobe Flash Player which did nothing. Also uninstalled and reinstalled it, also nothing.

Is it worth getting a cheap sound card if all I do is play games and listen to music although with some pretty high quality headphones. In other words will I notice a difference?

[QUOTE=SataniX;30868419]Yes, it's your CPU socket type, of which AM3 is one of them. You looking at AM3 mobos then?[/QUOTE] AM3 DDR3 Motherboards

It's new router time boyos, my WRT54G v2 is finally dying. (may god rest its soul) I heard [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=45265&vpn=RT-N16&vendor=ASUS]this one[/url] is fantastic when you slap TomatoUSB or DD-WRT on it, any opinions? (Don't worry about price if that's excessive, NCIX price matches)
does anyone know the name of that virus removal tool that was touted as being able to remove anything (or something along those lines)? i think it started with a C and had a yellow icon but i don't remember too well and it looked pretty barebones and just came up with a little window filled with words while it was scanning nevermind i found it
Quick question: What is wrong with the HTC phone if the touch sensitivity is bad and you are unable to even type a few of the letters on the screen (doesn't respond at all)?
How much space does WIN 7 take up and will I see a significant improvement if it is on an SSD?
[QUOTE=Jiro-uk-;30890887]How much space does WIN 7 take up and will I see a significant improvement if it is on an SSD?[/QUOTE] Windows 7 is ~15GB. I had it on a regular hard drive and put it on a SSD. It loads up more quickly and there's still space on mine for other programs too.
Does anyone know a good and cheap VPS located in Europe? I'm searching for something which cost around $5-10, and hardware is not that important as I won't be using anything heavy.

Two GTX 570's or One GTX 580? same price
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;30895240]Two GTX 570's or One GTX 580? same price[/QUOTE] if you get 1 gtx 580 when you still have the option to go even further later and sli 2 of them
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;30895427]if you get 1 gtx 580 when you still have the option to go even further later and sli 2 of them[/QUOTE] That what I was thinking. Wasn't sure if it was worth waiting, but righto
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;30895240]Two GTX 570's or One GTX 580? same price[/QUOTE] one 570 now, second in sli in the future when one stops being enough as prices will have dropped price difference between 570 and 580 isnt worth it and unless you're running ridiculously high res/surround/120hz monitor you won't need two 570s yet

[b]Q[/b]: Would there be a noteable difference if I change from my AMD Athlon II X4 640 to an AMD Phenom II X4 955 or even X6?
[QUOTE=Odellus;30875556]where the hell are you getting this shit that a very slightly overclocked 560 is better than a stock 570 [/QUOTE] Default clock, it's just slightly under the the stock 570 - about 2-5 fps, according to game. (Although it wins on Black Ops) Since it has a good cooler, it can be overclocked 10-15% on TOP of that, and then it beats the 570.
