Change in FPS!

I'm not saying anything about that.

I never said your PC is bad, or not good, it's just not in the overall bracket you are trying to say it is.

You should be glad you're happy with your system.

Nothing could make me happy with my system... even if it did work my system has one of the worst CPUs of it's time for cost/performance. The GPU is getting a little weak for beam, and it crashes which doesn't make it any more enjoyable.

So good for you for having a system you enjoy using.


It don't matter if your PC is using high end hardware from 6 years ago, or low end hardware from 1yr ago... or in the middle of the road. If you're satisfied by it meeting your needs and it's enjoyable then who cares about someone elses option, just don't oversell yourself on your gear, when your on a forum where PC hardware is a big topic.

 

ive literally said all of that before as a reason to go AMD and got crapped on for being idealistic and not blindly buying the fastest parts i could afford. without AMD your precious 980ti would cost 4 times as much.

 

Thanks

 

I'm actually going Polaris for my next GPU simply for the Performace/watt.

See I'm going for the 6 core i7 but I don't have a big psu, but it's of high quality, so maybe I can get a more powerful card out of my available power without sinking $200 canadian into a new psu when j just got a new one a few months ago.

Then in two years I can pour money into a solid machine for a bigger better GPU setup.

But all that depends on how much cash I can get in coming months..

If I do get more money then I need I'll go for a 2560x1600 machine.

 

My computer specs are crap but it manages to run the game just fine on high settings.

Well, most of the time >_> The T Series actually works but only the single rear axle version, anything more makes it lag like crazy.

Honestly my card was the best I could get for my money considering I only had a few hundred to spend, as well as a computer that was known to have issues with some GFX cards. I researched as much as I could to see what would be compatible and this was it, a modified GTX 750 ti that had a BIOS switch.

I literally took a basic work PC and stuffed as much into it as I could while having a relatively small budget, so really if you want to complain about PC specs you're already doing much better than me :/

 

Obviously if you don't know the history then it's easy for people new to tech or blinded by present day to assume that AMD makes inferior hardware and shouldn't be bothered with in the cpu front....

But in 06 I think it was amd was ahead in the duel core days.

Then their phenom came around and intel had i3/5/7 coming around to stonewall all that stuff amd was going to come back with bulldozer... but it just wasn't what they planed and it crashed and burned

Archetecture taking years to make you can't just throw it out the window and go back to the drawing board, you have to stick with it, years after 2011's release it's still just as dissapoibting and amd is still losing big money.

Intel spends less money/cpu manufacted yet they make big bank, amd spends alot/cpu and have resorted to giving them away to their customers for less then what they spend on them. And they have to superclock them to the point they consume a motherland of power to be useful.

Zen could make or break amd, worst case scenario Nvidia becomes the intel of gpus and floods the market with halariously over priced hardware.

Or intel might have to try harder, cut prices and work for more powerful hardware advances to stay above amd while amd can make a buck and get some cash to play with.

Even if AMD isn't as powerful as intel with Zen, if they are cheaper and only a little less powerful and they exclude gpus from their chips they can add more cores and having maybe 10% less IPC on 6cores and charging less for a product like that people will have a reason to buy them and intel will have to reduce their prices.

IPC being instructions per clock, meaning one cpu at 1.0 IPC and another at 1.61 both running at 3ghz with 4 cores the 1.61IPC processor will be basically 61% better at single core processor power which is the most important in most computing applications...

Right now amd is like 50-70% behind untill you factor in their insane clock speeds that waste so muh power they are like 30% slower or something at most stock situations..

 

i can promise i will link back to this later in liu of writing it all myself. lets go ZEN! lets go POLARIS! pray we never see a monopoly because intel and nvidia are counting the minutes at this point to the time they get to bend us all over....right now they are at least using lube. AMD dies and we all get dry docked.
