Ive been an nvidia user from day one. This time around they failed to compete. the 460 is very decent, but every chart I see shows it 20 percent behind. http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2012-vga-gpgpu/13-Battlefield-3-DirectX-11-B-Performance,2968.html shows the 6850 at its 38 fps. sadly they...

idk . i thought most of the swtor dialog was pretty bland and boring. I wanted to like it, and listen, but I found myself pressing skip all the time.

all the benchmarks from tomshardware deal with single player. multiplayer maxes out the cores much more heavily. Ill find a few multiplayer charts.

oh you mean Total for the entire Rig? 440$ total. After Shipping and handling and everything. If I had another 50-60$ to add too it, I would go the intel route. but I dont. I've seen Youtube videos Frapsing full HD 1080p Battlefield 3 multiplayer on large 64 player maps. So I know (Even...

Ty for the nforce 630 tip. I can afford to spend 49$ on the mobo. Exactly what it cost on the newegg site. I would appreciate Motherboard suggestions, please let me know why you chose the new one also, so i know what to look for also. I understand the generic "i3 2120"s out perform. You have...

I'm building a new Game Rig Designed to get the highest constant framerate in 64 player battlefield 3 multiplayer. (Want to avoid those tiny stutters from capped CPUs). Can anyone else confirm that this combination of hardware will work well together? Or let me know if Im missing anything...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106012 Are all Amd x6 1045t's considered black editions, with the 2.7ghz boost to 3.2ghz? or are there some 1045t's that are non black editions that do no have the powerboost? this newegg chip does not say black edition anywhere, and it...

Im trying to decide between the upgrade path of the intel chipset and the fx 6100 chip which ive personalyl seen fraps hd video of bf3 multiplayer without a single tick of load or delay.

Its not about which companies better. neither one leads for every, ones 5 percent better for a year, then the others 5 percent better for 6 months. I understand in general, on most well optimized games, intel has the lead. Im talking specifically about heavy only multiplayer with tripple...

I cant justify suggesting dual core chips. I wish I could go for the 170$ card. I only have 150$ on the budget, and thats after tacking an extra 10$ onto nearly every piece, just to get decent low price pieces.

To be honest. Im getting the fx 6100. Battlefield 64 player maps plus fraps makes anything lower stutter for full HD recording. the 6100 can handle it.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html They are talking about chips under 200$. And they completely skip the 140-150-160 (150$) section. they go from 120$ to 190$. I specifically have 140 to 160 to spend on a chip. I would never bother buying a CPU for...

Im building a single Video card Gaming Rig. 6870 Radeon Amd fx 6100 Mini atx mobo 4mb StickO DDr3 Ram One Dvd Drive few fans Will this power supply work for this system? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159124 the 12 rail cable shows a ''+12V@34A'' I dont know if that...

Ive been researching this same area very heavily. Choosing between these very chips all week long. dozens of youtube benchmark videos. I would choose the 960t and 6850. without a doubt. I ended up going with the FX 6100, if you cant afford that, I would have ended up picking the amd 970. but...
