[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Alyx Vance]

just google it.

I'm not concerned myself, it just gets annoying seeing two people argue over something without the least bit of evidence.

should I be concerned about this
I'm only running blockland

The titan officially can only support up to 3-way sli, but people have managed 4 and even 5-way configs
I'm not too sure on the details

well sure, you can plug in 4 titans but you won't see any increase in performance, i think the last titan doesn't even activate
wait but 5-way? what

55 degrees is cool
plus shaders are pretty intensive

[Blockzillahead]

53 is like what most cards run on idle

[0xBRIANSMITH]

53 C == 127F.
And I would say that is probably pretty hot.

I'm kind of regretting the AMD Athlon 2 x4 740, should I have gotten an Intel processor with the same price equivalent or did I make a good choice?

140F is the threshold for pain, it's actually not that hot

Is that speccy?

[Nal]

Is that speccy?

yes.
this is speedfan

this is on idle, right now
I had blockland open and my gpu went up to about 60 at most
should I be concerned? Is there any way to make it not this hot?
Oh, and I flipped the fan on my hyper 212 evo today, and air flow didn't come out the other end so my temps on my cpu were 89c today.

you should only be concerned if it goes above 70

[Steve5451²]

post your full specs, including ram frequency, amount, GPU model, CPU model, etc

Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
4MB DDR2 800
Quadro FX 770M

Sometimes the fps dips below 60 in intense combat, but the GPU usage wouldn't be above 60-70%, and CPU usage above 80% on both cores.

[Omicron Corp]

well, your whole system sucks complete balls. your gpu is extremely horrible, no wonder you wont get full 60 fps in combat
im pretty sure my intel hd 4600 is pretty much better than that
cpu is old and, well, stuffty too, but i really doubt a game like blockland would rely much on cpu power
its mostly your gpu

It's a used laptop I picked up for 170 bucks. I'm not going for Crysis 5 on uber graphics. That's why I have a desktop.
I do average around 150 FPS, and generally get 80FPS in combat, but that's only using about 70% of the GPU, so I was wondering what the bottleneck was.
I plan on upgrading the CPU.

I doubt you're gonna be able to upgrade anything in that laptop

You don't even know what laptop it is.
