I know, I'm not the smartest, and I could've gotten this for a lot less, but not as much as you say, not even close. Tell me how this adds up to $1000

FX-53 ($800)
2GB DDR RAM (at least $400)
ATI Radeon 9600XT Celestica Gold Edition 128MB ($230)
Audigy 2 AZ ($100)
480 Watt PS ($70)
Case ($100 at least for a good case)
Asus SK8V - VIA K8T800 ($150?)
160GB ($100?)
DVD-ROM 16x ($25)
DVD-RW External ($200)
CD-RW ($50)
Floppy ($5)
XP Pro ($150)
Zalman ZM-RS6F Headphones ($70)
Internal Flash Card Read/Writer ($30?)
2 Year Warranty ($200)

You do the math.

gg on timings..Try to get them to 2-2-2-5

maybe if i knew how rolleyes:

BIOS

where abouts?

Don't change the timings on your RAM unless you absolutely know it can
take it. I recommend leaving them at SPD values...

i've read that changing ram timings wont really affect much, if its already around 2-3-3-6. i doubt id see im provment if i changed it just a bit. i already see great performace. i dont think i'd want to change it anyway.

Whats it gonna do?Blow up?Hell no..No ram has ever died by having its timings changed.

No, but if the system fails to boot, you'll get annoyed quickly enough. The
point is: unless you know the timings your RAM supports, don't fuck around
unless you like resetting your BIOS. 2-3-3-6 is fine...

Resetting the whole bios takes like 2 minutes(removing cmos bat and and moving the jumper and then pumping your settings back into the BIOS)

Yeah, and it's an annoyance if you're unsure of which settings will work with
your particular component. My point still stands: leave the timings at JEDEC
SPD values.

ROFL... FX-53 is better than a 3000+ but it's not twice as good. Not even 50% better, yet is costs over 200% more.

i said, my old pc (2800+) was not even half as good. not that one to this one.

resetting the cmos isnt really a problem for me, but it is an annoyance. so im just going to leave the timings alone. freak:

x800xt in my box now ;)

rock:

Now go see how many FPS MOH caps at with everything on..I bet 1000+

Mohaa looks a lot better with everything on, i can run 1600x1200 6xfsaa 16x anisotropic filtering and get 100-200 fps in some of the maps that were more renound as being frame rapers, like bridge.

(big ass pic i know) EDIT: IMG tags smoked...heh

Kinda makes you want tp play through these games, i said a while ago its funny how only lately has it been possible for people to play games and see and experience them as the developer intended, mohaa falls into this catagory. Gotta go see what omaha is like. biggrin:

too bad, MY MOHAA DOESN'T FRIGGEN WORK!!!!!!!! wallbash: wallbash:

DAYUM

awesome shit right there man

offtopic...

gerv are you the irish kingpin druglord man...how you afford so much 1337 shit?

you dont even work do you?

how many bags of coke did the 800xt cost ya?

lol, was just keeping some cash aside for the upgrade, got mosta my parts before last christmas, when i got the doom leak i knew for a change id have to buy a top of the line card to play it and hl2 properly. Worth it though, my systems pretty much top of the line and didn;t cost a bomb, like £700 or so in total, playing games looking like that makes it worth while rock:

For a while I haven't given any thought to upgrading my stuff, I was happy with my BF1942/Desert Combat gaming but now seeing all these FPS figures, the nifty textures, etc...........its got my gaming juices flowing again

My PC is far too old for a super upgrade but I wonder how little I can cough up for a noticable improvement, my PC is:

Dell 4300 1.5GHz
1023mb SDRAM
Geforce FX5200 128mb
40gb with only like 3gigs spare
19" screen


I was thinking maybe a new m'board that will let me go for faster processors but I don't know what the prices are these days.........I'd be happy with the rest, just would want to upgrade mobo and cpu....

I don't think it's possible to save it!!! cry:

gerv i hate you loney:

happy:

Where did you get a X800XT from???? How much?



I'll cancel my order for a 6800GT if I can find a store with X800XT's in stock.

Theres a comparison test, can't answer your question though...

with 1 gig of pc3200, my radeon 9800 pro 256MB, i've seen 1000fps in mohaa in the vents on v2 on spectate. try it gerv, see what you get. (this was with my old PC)

http://www.reichnation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=786

got that at the end of a map

basically got ripped off for some flashy casing with an aliens head on it.

What res and shit were you in? Theres a few spots it'll glitch to 3000 odds but not for any real amount of time.

i was in the 2nd the highest res with max settings. im not sure on the AA or AF. it was like back in january

Gerv!

Was a preorder from a uk site that got a couple in. Overclockers.co.uk

oOo:

looking in the tunnels...barely any textures gg oOo:

i know..like i said before vents is the best place to see fps..it shoots up really high...but i was playing for 20 minutes and it didnt drop below 100 once..average was 300-500

ah..if you were getting 1000-2000 fps out in the open that be fucked biggrin:

lol, most ive gotten in the open is bout 600 i believe
