Hi there everybody,
its Christmas time and I am going to buy myself a present, new PC. I need your opinions on the hardware that I have chosen. If u have something of it just tell me if u are satisfied with it or not.
OK, here it is:
CPU: intel core 2 quad Q6600
MB: ASUS P5Q PRO
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX260 CUDA 896 MB HTDP PCX
CASE: NZXT ALPHA
POWER: ATX CoolerMaster M620
Two more questions, the MB is supporting crossfire, but I have older nviadia that is supporting SLI technology, would it be possible to use the SLI technology with the nvidia 260?
What about the power source? How big it should be? Isnt 620W too much?
Thanks a lot in advance for your input.
hi
Ive been trying to play a range of oldish (cod2) to newish (cod4,5) and the fps in them are crap! Im wondering if thats due to the onboard Nvidia GeForce 7025 graphics, or the 2gb of ram for win7 + games.
thanks
btw my pc spec is my signature!
Because of the onboard gpu (atleast in new games)
and if I read correctly then your ram is 267mhz? - thats a bit to slow for todays games!!
If youre planing to upgrade then I suggest you get a decent Graphic Card (nvidia 9somethin ot maybe 200 series card -- If your psu supports it!! ) and if youre at low fps then then upgrade to a faster ram, 2gb is enough!!
I got a Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 OC'd from 2.4 to 3.5ghz ; 4gb of Kingston 800mhz ram and a Nvidia GF8800GTS 640mb gpu on a Asus Striker II Formula (got it for the guaranty cuz my Asus Striker burned)-- and mostly I can play all new games on MAX spec except, of course CRYSIS
Thats weird, they play fine on my Fuze... Maybe change ROMS?
HAHAHAHA
update
the ram is pc6400 at 1607mhz
btw my computer is 50 days old today! Everything is brand new as of the 26 july 2009
then its 100% onboard gpu fault!!!
get nvidia card with hybrid power so you can use your onboard gpu and your GPU when needed!!!
write your PSU specs and Ill write some gpu's which will work with hybrid power and your psu will support the wattage!!
the psu is a colours it! 550w. And i was thinking of getting an XFX GeForce 9600GT XXX AlphaDog Edition which it £80-£90. What du think?
what are the fps ?
because if vsync is on you will only get as many fps as hz your screen refresh with
with is anyway the max fps people can ever get visually
but there are alot! of myths about this stuff
but buttom line is your screen refresh with a sudden hz and that mean thats
the number of times a second it draws the screen so
even if turning vsync off mean it will report much more fps it don't mean that your screen is displaying those fps
i dont know how to check fps in cod4 du no?
And whats vsync?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_synchronization
basically that the backbuffer is not blittered to the frontbuffer before
the frontbuffer is don't being drawn on the screen
about cod4 sorry never played any of those games
My fps in cod4 is 3!
How do i get that up?

Get a new GPU!!!!
and the 9600GT will do !!! it will work on the 550 W psu!!!
I have a 8800GTS 640 (eats more electricity and its on a 480W )
have you tried to set everything on min specs in video options(ingame) ?
yes i have set everything minimum. But still no luck!
I have decided to get a zotac GF 9800GT
Will that work
I will have to wait until i get some money cause im only 13! Might get it for crimbo!

save up some!!! Im 15 years old (almost 16) I have Touch HD (100% mine , bought for my money) - worked for it !!
sounds almost like you're using a generic vga driver rather then the real driver for the video card even if it's an onboard gpu
Yeah but i have installed the correct nvidia vga drivers. It might be a good idea to reinstall.
thx
hi again
i reinstalled the drivers to the latest version and set all the settings on cod to low.
BTW what is SLi and can i use it on an N68-S ASRock board
thx
Please don't get the 9800, although it is a powerfull card, if you get Sapphire HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 HDMI DVI VGA PCI-E Graphics Card £83.40 its will destroy the 9800 in any game, as for SLI i really wouldnt bother unless your monitor is 1920x1080 and your not getting a high (50+ constant) FPS. Also the 4850 will have no issues with your motherboard or Power supply.
yep i have the 4850 and it beats the crap out of all others in that price range,,,although it's not sapphire....but powercolor works fine too
Hi there!
As you can see in this thread my computer is killing me so I wanna change it with a notebook due their portablity.
A friend o' mine got a i7 1.GEN notebook (720QM as I remember) and it's good at single core uses due its turbocache. When turbocache channelizes all voltage to one core to do a single process like starting windows, no problem! But when it comes to multicore processing, whole turbocache system is a fail. Why would I carry a heavy-weighted junk when it can't download and play games together.
When I quit searching a notebook that has i7 I saw 2.GENs. So thats the question: Are they laggy as 1.GEN is? Can I play music and games together?
Waiting answer from you, mostly from people that has 2.GEN i7 notebooks.
sincerely, zeph
Alright guys here's my PC Setup
HP 6214y:
MOBO: Pegatron m2n78-la (Violet) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01635734
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620(2.6GHz) NO OC
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6770 Single Slot ~ 850/1200 NO OC
PSU: 650W Antec Earthwatts
RAM: 8GB DDR2
HDD: 1TB WD & LaCie 2TB External HDD
Monitor: 20" HP 2009f
Now i know the motherboard lists as AM2 yet my HP is running the Athlon II x4 620 which that says is AM3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706
So i was wondering if there is any Newer CPU i could run on this MOBO and if it would bottleneck my GPU?
So i had in mine the http://www.frys.com/product/7018861?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG which is 125w compared to my 95w Athlon II.
Any suggestions *i do not want to run Intel at all* So please no wars just need help, only your honest opinions on what i can do PLEASE & THANKS!
Newest amd socket is FM1, so I'm afraid you're limited to am3.

well under tech specs it says that the AMD FX 4170 under the link i provided says socket type is AM3+ so i still can run it?
If not what could you recommend because thats cheaper than the Phenom series and their higher clocked as well i mean factory clock speed is 4.2GHz Quad Core
So if my MOBO says it supports AM2+ that means it can run AM3 just not AM3+?

Possibly, it really depends on your bios if it can run am3 or not.

You can try asking here so that you don't keep bumping this thread.
I'm closing this because of the link I just provided. That's the thread for computer Q&A.
My question is about android studio's performance under different processors.
I tried to run the same version of the android studio on
1)intel pentium 3 4gb (windows 7 )and
2)intel core i5 7th gen 8gb (windows 10)
And surprisingly I found that the starting time in the pentium pc was faster than the i5 one!!
can anyone please explain the reason or possibly help me out with anything that I have been doing wrong in my i5 laptop?Is there any settings issue that is causing the i5 laptop to give android studio a slower studio?? What should I do to optimize the i5 laptop's android studio??
Check your RAM speed and Hard Drive speeds. They're likely have a large effect on the load time. Also, the processor variants in laptops are often low-power versions with only dual-cores and fairly low lock speed. the i5/i7 labels are just branding and don't actually give a great idea of the performance, especially on laptop processors.
