Heya guys, im looking at getting the new 27" asus Gsync screen (when it releases)

What card would you recommend to be playing the newest games on this? I will be using a 24" 1080 monitor as my secondary. No plans for tri screen yet.

 

[tiny voices]

I would get something like a gtx780 for that monitor to be able to use it to its full potential.

 

[Mirakledba]

I did get screen tearing over 60fps once....but its on vsync now and no coil whine or screen tearing. Its being perfect atm.

 

[tiny voices]

That's good to hear!

 

[Mirakledba]

My CPU is in the 30's and GPU is like 38...A lil over my comfort zone. Any ideas?

 

[tiny voices]

No, those are nice and cold for idle.

 

[Mirakledba]

Well I was actually gaming for hours (Minecraft) and right after I closed MC i checked so i think thats a bit more than idle.

Azz - ?

 

[tiny voices]

Well, in that case your temps are VERY good. and VERY low. You have absolutely nothing to worry about at all.

 

[Mirakledba]

Aha, Thanks. Offtopic: Tiny, if you want to play on an MC server with me and my fac...feel free to join (But Im gonna go back on tomorrow) If you want the IP, I'll PM it to you





"Na thanks, I'm good" xD

 

[tiny voices]

Sure, PM me the IP. Why not lol. What kind of server is it?

For your temps, unless your CPU goes above 70 or the GPU goes above 80 you have nothing at all to even think about.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok i PMED u the details.

 

[tiny voices]

Thanks. I'm down to play tomorrow if you are on sometime as classes are canceled due to 1 foot of snow. LOL

 

[tiny voices]

No PM yet. Sure you sent it to the right person?

Nuke, I have seen that mouse issue as well. In some games it actually helps alot or completely fixes it if you manually limit the FPS to 60 or 59 in some cases. This can be accomplished with the built in FPS limiter in DxTory. Leave Vsync off but set DxTory to limit FPS to 60 or 59 and generally this will fix the mouse stutter problems in most all games.

Good job with this new thread stickg1 thought I would post my build here as well her name is Iris

Case:NZXT H2 classic
motherboard: biostar TA990FXE
CPU:FX-8320 which will be overclocked once I get new thermal paste and cooled with corsair H70
Ram: 8GB DDR3 at 1600mhz
GPU:MSI 7950 OC which is heavily overclocked.
PSU: OZC 750 watt
x2 500GB HDD

She turned out nicely considering almost all of the parts I bought on sale so was actually rather cheap to build.

Iris? Nice. If it wasn't for my X Men naming system for my PCs mmine would probably have a name like that (female). As it is, it's called Weapon X

Tiny - I did send it but here it what i said.


mc.sparkade.net

it is a faction server/survival. So you can live alone or you can join a faction

It has skywars, PVP arenas, creative building and more.

My fac is the PVP sqaud so i will for sure try to get u in

 

[tiny voices]

Lol, I have never named one of my computers. I guess it comes from the car scene where no enthusiast names their car and people who do only THINK they are can enthusiasts.

I do like people's computer names though. A buddy of mine has every PC in his house named after someone who has died in a place/helicopter crash so when he looks at the network and a computer crashed it will say something like "Colin Mcrae has crashed" Pretty morbid, but a bit humorous.

I mostly play vanilla survival, like on the server I play on, but I'm down to try this out.

 

[Mirakledba]

yeah you can live 100% alone and all but if you want you can always join a fac...i say join mine...we have a huge castle with obsidian walls and quartz floor xD Skyping with the team


Ok we are getting off topic, COMPUTER!

 

[tiny voices]

We will see if I decide to stick with that server or not. I'll definitely check it out but I don't have alot of time to set aside to playing as school is alot of work and I play alot on my other server.

 

[hoevito]

Hey peeps...here's a newb's complete setup. Work and play...

 

[stickg1]

Some pics of sleeving I just finished. This build is all in a temporary state to keep an operable machine. So don't mind the stock cooler, and random wires out in the open.

 

[tiny voices]

I really want modular PSU after seeing all of this. Might get in the market for one.

 

[stickg1]

If you get a set of crimpers you can just make the cables whatever length you want. I just resleeved the stock cables because the pin out was kind of complicated so I just sleeved one wire at a time replacing them as I go so I didn't fry something!

 

[tiny voices]

I have crimpers and I have changed PSU cable lengths in the past, but my HCG-750 simply has too many cables. Like 5 strings of SATA cables. Ridiculous.

I would be in the market for a Semi-modular 750w unit as cheap as possibly while maintaining quality. Know anything about the Rosewill Hive series besides they are basically the OCZ ZS units with better capacitors?

OR I could make my HCG-750 semi modular with some time and work.
