Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have surfed this forum for years and have come to the conclusion that I will not be coming back. Nor will I tell friends and family to do so. Kyle's lack of professionalism and foul language is a huge turnoff to me. Kyle claims that he is not a journalist nor a game reviewer, but "just a PC...
What urks me about this thread is the guy has a over 1kw psu, what seems to be a decent sli setup and says he's poor? Then you come to an enthusiasts forum and act like a complete noob. How hard is it to do a google search? I think people who post threads like these are attention whores...
Just turned 40 and this story is very accurate. I game with my daughter on the PC. No consoles for her.;) This makes sense as our age group grew up with the Atari and everyhthing since.
So in the case of Stalker w/ complete mods. An e6600 will ultimately perform the same as an I7 at insanely high resolutions? Again, only in that specific game or similar games where cpu requirements a minimal compared to gpu. I'd imagine that even in a gpu heavy game@ 5760x1440 that an I7 rig...
So based on your statement then, in games like Stalker and Metro 2033 i should see scaling all the way up to the highest resolutions my gpu can game? Cannondale mentioned that the higher you go in resolution the more load gets placed on the cpu, albeit not as much as the gpu. Is this "load"...
What is got me scratching my head is this. What if I only played games that are gpu heavy like Stalker? If i don't play anything else on this setup except perhaps Crysis and Metro 2033. If i wanted to play those games at a resolution of 5760x1440, then based on the argument that as long as the...
I see your point and agree that you were quite clear in presenting your views on the matter. I agree and appreciate your efforts on making things a little clearer for me.
I've lurked on these boards for years and you seem to be quite respected. Normally I would take what you say and go "he's quite right". I agree with your post to an extent save, the first point where you said a "graphically intense" game would yield higher fps due to being gpu heavy. I can say...
There is no need for me to test the GTS 250 due to knowing from personal experience that at 1280x960 the game was unplayable for me. Hence, I know the game is gpu bound as a result of the boost in frames with the GTX 275.
I have come to know conclusion, only stating what I am seeing for...
I have been doing sometesting on my secondary rig with Stalker Clear Sky and needed some opinions on what I am seeing.
PC Specs:
Intel 690i Intel Edition SLI motherboard
E6600@ 2.4ghz
EVGA GTX 275@stock speeds
6gigs of pc3200 ram
OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
I got this gtx 275...
Actually i can confirm artifacting in Crysis after a half hour of gameplay. Have not experienced it in Warhead or Crysis 2. Crysis 2 runs much smoother for me with these drivers.
I can report major performance increases on my secondary setup.
Intel 690i SLI Motherboard
Core 2 Duo E6600@ STOCK
6gigs of PC3200@ 800hz
EVGA GTX 275@ stock
gaming resolution 1920x1440@80hz
I installed these just because I was curious about the dual core performance with the new...
