Quote:Naw, it's not just for CoX, CoX i'm running right now with pretty much everything on max without much issues.I have that card, as I've said in other threads (the 295 one). It doesn't work properly for CoX. There's at least 4 options that can't be on without causing major screen flickering. Nothing I've done, except disabling them, works so I'd advise against spending that money on a card if you're doing it just for CoX.
I was more thinking of wanting to play some of the newer games without slowdowns and/or having to shut off all the pretty effects. -
Mmm... only got a 420W PSU atm, so i guess i should buy one of those along with the graphics card. The case itself is pretty nice and quiet so i guess i'll keep that too.
So a 295, a PSU, a harddrive and windows 7 once it's out.
Then a couple of months later, a CPU, Mainboard and memory.
Guess it'll work out, and nice to split the money so it's not all one big buy. But then again... thats a whole new computer anyway. heh. -
Quote:Aha, so next year i could say buy a i7 cpu, mainboard and memory and the rest of the stuff i got in will fit no problem then?Your 384MB 8800 is tech that's nearly three years old! Treat yourself to a top of the range card and next year sell on the board, CPU and memory, keep everything else and get yourself a new board etc. The new card will work on your existing system, make it play your games better and you can still keep it when you buy that i5/i7 setup.
I don't have to buy a new case? PSU or harddrives (tho i'll prob get a harddrive with win7 when it comes), they still gonna use SATA interface i hope.
So... which graphics card then, hehe. I was thinking on a 285... but should i just aim for a 295 since i'm not buying the new thing and wait. I have every intention of getting a larger monitor eventually, i still got my eyes on that 30 incher -

I'm not an artist, but i love art. I enjoy looking at art, but some details go by me completly since i can't draw. I've read some comments on these boards which made me go "oh heck, i would never have noticed that". I do tend to comment on some things tho, like if i think proportions are wrong or larger details like that cause those are pretty easy to spot. To me it's mostly a matter of art style rather than things actually wrong in with the piece. And due to that i often just post "i like it!" and not post at all if i don't like it cause i don't wanna be mean
(altho don't take it as all i don't post in, i hate).
And i'm a complete sucker for art of my character(s). I'd prob bow down and worship any artists whos drawn any of mine -
384MB card.
It does say on the box to my motherboard (i got it with the comp when they made it for me) that it's intel quad-core ready.
Just feels not worth it just buying a new graphics card. I just don't think the rest of my computer would keep up with it. Granted a 275 isn't the most expensive thing, but i get the feeling "what if it doesn't really do much?" -
Hmm. Thanks for some info.
My Motherboard is an ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS.
How much better is a E8x00 compared to my E6750 ?
Would i have to upgrade the memory as well, since the speed of the CPU would prob be quicker. Or would it, the memory is only DDR2, if i get a 1333 cpu while memory is only 800, wouldn't that be a bottleneck?
I have a 22" widescreen atm, but after i got the new comp i was thinking on replacing it with a 30" i saw at a store the other day which had me drooling. (i have a really deep desk so it could be good!).
I am not keen on ATI because every single person i've talked to who had one have all gone "oh it's nice and fast, but i gotta turn off half the settings or the game will crash". I havn't had to do that with Nvidia, so i'm sticking with that.
Also not keen on RAID, since i did try RAID 0 a couple of years back and it worked fine, until one harddrive crashed and i lost all data. So prob won't do that again.
I guess this is really hard for me, simply cause i have no idea how much this will actually do.
How much would it actually differ if i just bought a new CPU and a graphics card (and prob a harddrive) compared to what i got now, and how much better would a whole new system be?
Would upgrading cpu and graphics card give me like... 10% more fps or?
Would something in my old system act as a bottleneck if i upgrade it, feels pretty pointless to buy stuff and find out something like my memory can't keep up, or the CPU can't keep up with the graphics card etc etc. -

Well, i've been thinking on retiring my old warhorse. Currently on a a intel dual core 2.67ghz with 4gb ram and a 8800gts graphics card. Starting to feel a little slow (well not really slow, but i've been forced to tone down settings in some games now) to me and i've started poking around for a new one.
Now i'm probably not gonna buy one anytime soon (guessing after x-mas), definatly not before windows 7 is out tho.
What i'm looking for is a gaming machine mostly, but i'm not really uptodate on everything.
I don't wanna skimp out on stuff because it's cheap, but at the same time i don't wanna overpay for minimal gains.
I've been glancing somewhat at this machine: https://www.inet.se/datorer/stationa...gamer/1517094/
Now my biggest questions are probably.
The processor, i understand i7 is the newest one out and i was looking at some prices.
why is the 3.33 Ghz almost 4 times as expensive as the 2.66 one? is it four times as fast? what makes it that much more spendy?
And the graphics card, how much better is a 285 or even a 295? i know the 285 is about 50% more expensive and the 295 is over twice as much as the 275. Is there a point with SLI? how many games are actually gonna take advantage of that? (note, i do not want an ati)
And how much benefit am i gonna see if i get a velociraptor harddrive, they're pretty small only 100-150gb, but i guess they're faster. Should i put the OS on that if i get one or games? and how much of a diffrence do they really make?
Would i notice any diffrence with more than 6GB memory? if i should say double that.
And is there something else coming out in the near future that might be worth waiting for, either for being really good or due to it's gonna drive prices down on other parts.
I'm asking here for some info prior to going into a computer store cause for some reason i tend get odd looks when i ask for a gaming rig and not taken seriously. When i was looking to buy the comp i got now, in one store a clerk even said "do you really a machine that fast for blogging and chatting?", suffice to say, he did not make a sale to me that day. -

That Pirate looks...
Fantastic!
Holy kittenmittens you're awesome Cashoo -
Normal fridges are about 6 feet high (180cm) and the door 7 feet (210cm) which is normal, and looks fine on it's own.
But when i look to the bench area, kitches isle, sink and stove. They almost reach up to half the room. which would mean they're almost 4-4.5 feet high (120-135cm), which is at least a foot too much, and this causes the fridge and door to look really small in the room as whole.
The bits and pieces look awesome, and i love the kitten, but the height on the bench/isle/sink/stove is too far up imo. -
Young face 6 (female) it's the only one i use, on all my chars.
Also quite fond of the large boots.
Spiked Collar is also widely used.
And of course Wild Cat ears and cat tail -
I have to say i prefer your non color works. Just so much more detail and style in those.

Holy mews... Those look awesome. Nice Cashoo
