The Computer Megathread

To be honest it's best to wait things out. By Christmas I'd be suprised if there isn't a nicer cpu for your price range

I guess that's true :p
I'm just kinda getting ideas of how much all of this would be for the performance til dec.

[pecon98]

also, how much fps do you get in games with that 6870? what brand is it?

I get 43 FPS while viewing 37k bricks in Blockland with max shaders and forcing x8 Anti-Aliasing and super sampling. And running at 1080x1920 resolution.



It's the Sapphire one.

not bad. I'm aiming towards the gigabyte one but you can't adjust the voltage on it, some people complained about artifacts and bad customer service/second rma'd card bad also.. maybe the sapphires will be in stock by then, I used to have a sapphire x1650pro on my old computer and it ran crysis around 20 fps on medium, my bird flew into it and knocked it off a table one time, it still worked

I see your 6870 and raise you a GTX 560

[Trinick.]

Bought my Toshiba satellite after consulting Ethan.

i read this like 15 times before i realized you were talking about a computer

i feel dumb

[ShadowsfeaR]

For some reason, my card won't force Anti-aliasing and such for graphics in Blockland. It's really pissing me off. Anyone got a guide to do so? It's an ATI.

I have a feeling the Phenom will bottleneck the 6870 like crazy; it's a very old CPU by now.

no, quite sure it does not

[Isjix]

no, quite sure it does not

and coming from pentium

You have to edit the settings and then save it to Blockland.exe. Make sure you have the latest catalyst update too
