post your specs
Probably getting a new CPU later this year.
>>344956761
find it pretty weird that 1080 only shows as 4gb when its 8gb, but hey if it works i aint complaining..
>>344956761
>>344956690
why no 144 hz yet?

>>344956945
The ROG PG278Q is 144Hz
>>344956945
>He doesn't know about le 4GB gate
>>344956761
What do you possibly use all that storage for?
>>344957040
but you have it set to 59hz bro, better change that shit right now
>>344956945
>find it pretty weird that 1080 only shows as 4gb when it's 8gb
You have an Nvidia card and this is weird to you?
>>344956945
It's a speccy thing.
GPUZ will show the correct size.
>tfw bottleneck
>tfw terrible frame times
Can't wait to upgrade to a 6700k.
>>344957061
please enlighten me
>>344957083
Everything.
>>344957139
Even if set to 144Hz it shows up as 59Hz in speccy.
Speccy is a piece of shit.
>>344957232
Memes.
The 10XX don't have the 970s retarded issue.
>>344956545
It's not a 1080, but It was a cheap upgrade from a 660ti.
Finally feeling like a part of the PC master race.
Gonna upgrade to dual channel 16gb next.
>>344956545
I need a new fuckin monitor
>>344957269
are you sure? cuz my speccy shows the correct hertz
>>344957269
How long would it take to listen to one Terabyte of music?
>>344957471
well i guess it depends on lenght of the music and the kHz
Reminder from the last time this thread happened.
Please set your fucking ram speed. Half of /v/ apparently doesn't know that you have to do that.
>>344957471
Don't know. I lost my previous 2TB drive full of music, which was neatly organized. This one is just everything thrown onto it, so I don't really listen to it much.
>>344957269
whats the point of that seteup, you can scrap like half of these hdd's
>>344957606
And then I won't have any space left.
Good idea.
>>344957576
reminder that it literally doesn't even matter in terms of system ram
>>344957686
Reminder that if you have an older, overclocked CPU you can gain over 20 frames in CPU heavy titles with fast ram.
>>344956545
>tfw I dont get temperatures lower than 75 while gaming
im just waiting for a smoking hole to appear in my mobo tbqh

Nah m8 it's an AMD chip.
85C means it's operating at chilly temps.
>>344957462
>1080p
>144hz
why
>>344957776
reminder that there are practically no cpu heavy titles
reminder that a $70 pentium dual core processor probably crushes your old, overclocked processor
>>344957269
Are you sure you set it to 144hz? Check your windows and nvidia settings
>>344957928
>>344957831
Also holy fuck do you really need over 1.5v to hit 4.4?
Have future proof build. Feels kind of bad because I can't find any reason to upgrade.
Except RAM maybe.
>>344957940
>source games
>arma
k?
3.2 Ghz Tri-core CPU
500mhz GPU
10MB eDRAM
512MB GDDR3
>>344957938
why not?
>>344957938
why not?
>>344957940
You'll gain 10%+ minimum is stuff like Witcher 3, AssCreed and Tomb Raider.
In terms of performance per dollar, if you have a Sandy or Ivy bridge, fast ram is the way to go.
>>344957938
why in the world not?
>>344958017
eh, probably not but my computer doesnt boot if I change anything in bios anymore and AMD overdrive is sketch af
>>344957684
then will have to delete stuff, which is a good thing because you are obviously hoarding
everthing is onlyine anyway
>>344957947
Yes, I'm pretty sure it works fine, because it has a button on the site to switch refresh rates and speccy just doesn't care.
>>344958120
I don't see the point, wouldnt it be worlds better to have a 1440p 60hz?
1440 is a huge improvment over 1080 IMO
First desktop in 12 years, don't laugh
I have a snibby crab
>>344958190
I mean I had to set it to 144hz through the windows display settings for it to start working, you should check just in case
>>344958165
>everything is online anyway
I sure love to stream low quality garbage. Good to know you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>344958190
check monitor OSD it should show what hz it's running on
>>344957940
>reminder that a $70 pentium dual core processor probably crushes your old, overclocked processor
An overclocked 2500k or 2600k performs pretty favorably with a 6500.
>>344958221
144 is a huge improvement over 60
>>344958221
I'd rather have 144hz desu
>>344958221
>higher resolution is better than 2.5x refresh rate
you must be insane. higher resolution adds basically nothing to the experience of playing a game. refresh completely transforms it
>>344958221
you can't go back from 144 to 60 again, seriously, it is so jarring
better have both though
>>344958269
Any reason you spend extra money on an overclocking board and then didn't spend the extra 30 bucks on an overclockable chip?
The fuck senpai?
>>344958292
Dude, I know how my screen works.
>>344957405
I too upgraded from a 660 ti recently
that card was a trooper
being able to run games a max settings again is nice
>>344956545
Not video games
>>344958279
>low quality
just give it another 5 years, remember what it was like 5 years ago?
streaming? in hd?
>>344957831
I also just noticed, why the fuck does my CPU fan only get to 89% when my taget is 65 degrees and max temps reach 80?? I have a phanteks tc-12dx
>>344958368
>x2 960
woah, double cucked
>>344958465
Streaming anything is still garbage.
>>344958401
you sure? maybe you should check.
>>344958394
I got the CPU for $140 and the board for $90 via eBay and magical newegg sales. Still need to sell my laptop with a 780m in it.
I'm afraid of trying out 144hz.
I don't have a lot of money and only upgraded my GPU after 4 years.
I already can't go back to consoles because of sub 60fps. I'm afraid that if I play at 144hz, I won't be able to afford to feed that framerate in the future and it will ruin 60fps just like 60fps ruined 30fps, leaving me unable to play video-games.
>>344958571
do it bitch
>>344958615
>>344956545
I have another 16GBs of ram that was in this thing but the sticks are in another pc right now
>>344958517
thats not for you to decide
it will come to that point
>>344958668
All that and a 760?
Just need 144hz monitor and a new gpu and I'm set for the next 50 years.
>>344958668
That's a lot of storage senpai
>>344958367
how? Its essentially impossible to see over 80fps and I find myself having trouble noticing the difference above 50. Am I missing something about refresh rate?
>>344958367
Went from 1080 to 1440 earlier this year and would never go back, 1080 feels tiny now
>>344957938
multiplayer fps games???
>>344958725
No, it is for me to decide. That's the point. I don't like to stream anything besides live events and even then I'll download a better recording later.
>>344958726
yeah I'm going to nab a 1060 when they come out
I've just been buying different parts at different times
>>344958571
it doesn't matter, you need at least 60-72 fps and it will look great
you don't need exactly 144fps to enjoy 144hz refreshrate
>>344958571
get gsync monitor.
if you get 90 fps or something, you still get 90hz with no tearing. if you get 78 fps, you still get 78hz no tearing.
better than 60 is better than 60. even 70 hz is a gigantic improvement on 60. you wouldn't think so, but it's literally like 17% more frames..
>>344958858
Look at the graphic you dip, I never said anything about 24 fps.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2826883/
>>344958571
I play rocket league at 144 FPS and I went to my friends house and played it there but he only has a 60Hz monitor and playing it at 60 FPS felt like I was watching a stop motion film
>>344958887
>"I don't have a lot of money and only upgraded my GPU after 4 years."
I'm sure he's gonna just be racing to buy a 144hz gsync m8
>>344958748
60 fps- 16ms
144fps-4-5ms
144hz lag- 3ms
60hz lag-25-30ms
it's about responsiveness, games feel better, also you do not need vsync at any fps at 100hz+.
Hopefully will be able to afford some more RAM and a new card soon.
Anyone knows how to lower cpu temps?
>>344958221
framerate>resolution
If you've never used 144hz before, I guarantee you will circle your mouse around your desktop in awe for a good 5 minutes before even trying a game
>>344958451

>>344959095
Okay, so streaming will get better, but storage will also get cheaper. Get fucked.
>>344958664
I went 40 inch monitor at 4k.
No regrets whatsoever, but I do play slower paced games.
>>344959095
Speaking of which.
Any of you guys have a Sandy Bridge Gene-Z board with Windows 10?
Heard some that there were some compatibility problems and the deadline is coming up.
>>344959160
Have you ever reapplied thermal paste ?
>>344959113
to what? gpu maybe, everything else is fine for at least a year or two
>>344959062
I have, didn't notice shit. Resolution on the other hand....
That, and the fact that the majority of people (including me) have rigs that can only run shit like CS:GO above 60
>>344959243
Needs fast ram, obviously.
>>344959238Do I have to do that
How much would I have to spend to get a gaming pc that can run ultra 1080p 60 fps like a champ that can also last awhile?
>>344959190
fuckkk whens the deadline? I upgraded from 7 but installed the wrong version (Pro instead of Home) with the win10 tool, and I'm pretty sure my windows isn't activated. will I get fucked after the deadline?
>>344959062
I remember playing the first Mass Effect when it came out on a toaster laptop well under the minimum specs at 240p with a ton of miscellaneous settings to improve speed, got it to a consistent ~20fps. By the end it looked like a N64 game. I wish I had screenshots. I don't know why I'm telling you this.
>>344959316
yes
>>344958748
you made the wrong decision based on a study that is either incorrectly conducted or doesn't say what you think it says.
japanese researchers proved in the 90s that basically any human can discern steps up to 300hz with ease.
you're basically telling everyone with a 144hz monitor that games aren't easily twice as smooth when they are.
did you really think you outthought a whole industry, that you were just smarter than everyone else who doesn't understand waht they're talking about and can't adequately evaluate their own experiences?
"i'm the only person who isn't a sheep" syndrome.
>>344959321

>>344959398
I haven't done that since I bought this computer, about 4 years ago

its a possibility
you could get a better cooling system, whether it be getting a better heatsink fan or go water cooling
>>344959190
it's other way around. you wouldn't be able to sue new cpus with older windows
>>344959427
Projecting much? I never said anything remotely close to what you put in my mouth. I'm saying, from my experience, 144hz is an expensive gimmick. Maybe some people can see a difference, but I sure can't and the science seems to back that up.
Can I have a source on those japanese researchers?
>>344959316
Not unless you want better temps m8.
Type teksyndicate thermal paste in Google and watch the video on how to correctly apply it
>>344959494
but will anything happen? I used to have the Windows not activated watermark in my bottom right corner but now its gone yet nothing's changed. What do?
>>344959524
I think the issue is that some older boards aren't very well supported these days.
A ton of 1155 guys are reporting stuff like dead USB slots, no sound and various other driver glitches.
>>344959296
seriously irrelevant, what you get is about 3-5%
I ahve same RAM and cpu, get almost exactly same fps numbers as monster 4ghz ram benchmark rigs
>>344959438
Thanks for the suggestion, but it's a laptop and if I take it apart to put an SSD in then I void the warranty.
>>344959626
...Yeah
Just 3.5%
>>344959557
>but I sure can't and the science seems to back that up.
The science doesn't back it up. You either didn't read the study or didn't evaluate what it says or don't have the education to understand what it says.
>As with the tactile measurements, both threshold sensitivity and gap detection were measured for visual stimuli. The measure of threshold sensitivity was essentially a measure of flicker sensitivity. Flicker sensitivity was determined by flickering a light around a constant mean luminance. Flicker frequencies of 2, 4, 8, and 32 Hz were used. The depth of modulation around the mean luminance was adaptively varied to achieve a threshold contrast value in a modified two temporal interval task. Gap detection was measured by presenting one standard and two test intervals, one of which had a temporal gap in it. The width of the gap was adaptively varied to find a threshold gap size.
Strobe flickering is not the same thing as watching a continuous moving image. Do you know much cognitive psychology? I'd wager you don't.
Saying you can't see the difference is a lie to back up the fact that you tried to call everyone else stupid and wrong. Maybe you played a 144hz monitor set to 60hz. If you've ever even seen one in reality.
>>344958505

yikes. kids get destroyed then just fall back on memes. it's better to not respond. everyone can see the difference. you decided 144hz is not worth it and then tried to find a study to support you, the study does not support you, the study is about detection threshold for light strobing.

people are actually glossing over the voltage thing and not realizing it's one of the worst shit shows a company ever tried to do to their customers in the pc arena.
hint: when a company can only produce a card HALF as fast as the opponent's flagship card, while having to overvolt it to reach higher clock than it was designed for, the company is *fucking dead*

I'm sorry to offend you then anon I forget intelstep is a thing sometimes, can you tell me what has bottlenecked you by your cpu recently? or are you just looking to squeeze maximum average frames with a newer cpu?
>>344960290
g-sync only works in nvidia works games
>>344960297
>>344960409
30 and 60fps are the standard for v-sync, and without v-sync you will almost always get screen tearing. I've used a QNIX 110hz monitor for years and there is screen tearing in 90% of games.
>>344960534

what the fuck are you talking about gsync is between the video output and the monitor its completely fucking agnostic to the software

yes because you don't have fucking gsync or freesync lol
>>344960458
quit memeing, it's a good card and it does what they intended it to do
>>344960743
it's an inferior card to the 1060 by a large margin and when you put amd shit in your system you deal with amd problems.

>>344960458
I'm just waiting to see how good aftermarket cards are and how the linux drivers mature
>>344960561
>can you tell me what has bottlenecked you by your cpu recently?
It's less a bottleneck and more a frame time issue. Stuff like Syndicate and Witcher 3 can have some really nasty 2-3 frame dips.
Only true bottleneck I've encountered ( 100% CPU with <100 GPU) was when I was trying to run the damn gameworks shadows in Asscreed.
By the way, I've got the CPU at 4.6 all the time. Fuck step speed.
>>344960796
>it's an inferior card to the 1060
yeah, right, because nvidida certified benchmarks said so
>>344960796
all I'm hearing is someone that's buttmad that they bought a 970 without knowing about the memory problem
>>344960819
I'll buy it senpai.
The 4790k performs the same or better than a 6700k in gaming.
>>344960727
I don't hate nvidia at all, will probably buy a 1070 at some point, but g-sync only works in games that support it. That's a fact, you can google it.
A 144hz monitor without freesync/gsync outside of a game that doesn't support freesync/gsync will have screen tearing. Not all 144hz monitors have freesync/gsync either.
>>344960224
Assuming that you're talking about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology, why don't you explain what this has to do with frame rate?
Because it looks like fucking nothing.
Just did a upgrade a few weeks ago on a few things. Outside of maybe doing SLI when it is cheaper, I don't think I am going to do anything else to this PC for at least 4-5 years.

WE WERE SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ONES THAT DO, TRY TO KEEP UP.
Is i7 2600 non k still alright for video games?
>mfw people meme about and say windows 10 is the best thing ever
>mfw people meme about and say the 480 is a joke and you should buy nvidia
>>344961145
I mean, it's better than a new i3.
But if you have a 1070 or 1080, you should consider upgrading quite soon. Without a decent OC, you're leaving performance on the table.
>>344961016
Using a AIO cooler on it, been pretty great.
The sucky part is my GTX 1080 can't overclock worth shit, though. My 980 Ti was a great overclocker, but this one...not so much.
>>344961145
I used a core2quad to play overwatch the other day and it was fine
the performance difference between sandy bridge and skylake is a good 30-40%, but for video games you don't need much
Maybe I should build a new desktop.
This one has been coughing quite a bit trying to run newer games.
>>344961161
people who buy amd shit buy their tires at wal-mart.
there's subclass shit and there's overclass shit.
new drivers every game or new drivers every 6 months. your choice.
>>344961249
The 1080 is pushed pretty hard from the factory all ready.
I know that the 1070 can push about 10-15% before it shits the bed. I've got mine to 2050mhz stable.
>>344961145
yes, it's more than alright it's still gets you same fps as benchmark overkill rigs ~6% margin
>>344961264
>people who buy amd shit buy their tires at wal-mart.
car/computer analogies are what retards use to justify their poor knowledge
>there's subclass shit and there's overclass shit.
that doesn't even make sense
>new drivers every game or new drivers every 6 months. your choice.
I've literally had 0 problems with amd drivers
>>344961361
>fps as benchmark overkill rigs ~6% margin
Except in graphically demanding or CPU intensive games.
>>344961264
>ew drivers every game or new drivers every 6 months
fant fact: recent two months nvidia: 2 drivers amd:3 drivers
>>344961263
Do you keep a fire extinguisher by your computer?
Maybe its time for me to go 16gb.
Probably should up my monitor first, its been 4 years.
>>344961491
To be fair, one of AMDs drivers was an emergency patch job because their new card was frying older mobos.
>>344960345

... wut?
>>344961550
For fucks sake, blow the dust out of your computer.
Jesus fuck are those temps at idle?
>>344961496
Not yet.
That's just idle temperature.
When I start up the heavier programs like having 2 tabs open in Firefox simultaneously or mGBA then I really have to be ready.
>>344961430
>graphically demanding
no, in ROTR I get exactly 3 fps less than 3ghzram/6700k testing rig with my 1300mghz ram i72600 no oc
>CPU intensive games
arma 3 and gta5, that's it
stop shilling for intel, skylake is decent cpu if you come from amd or dualcore/i3 otherwise it's worthless for gaming

>>344961689
>idle temps
>firefox is a heavy program
that's 6GB on the 980ti mind you, not two, and the RAM is at 2133, not 1066
don't know why it does that
>>344961734
Yeah, I have to say it's pretty good for an 8-year-old laptop that's never been cleaned.
>>344961724
You must be fucking high.
Unless you've been running prime for over an hour, you shouldn't be that hot.
Not to mention running the 970 at housefire levels. Holy shit learn to set a fan curve.
>intel runs hot at load
As opposed to AMD ? Wut
still cant get steady 60fps in ds3
do you queers even bench?
>>344961848
speccy was written by retards
>>344961865
literally every cpu benchmark I've read has had intel cpu's running at 60-70c at load
gpu's always run that hot as well
>>344961907

Retard.
No bully
>>344961960
well what do you want then
>>344961921
>gpu's always run that hot as well
No, no they don't.
That's a 970, not a fucking GTX 480.
>>344962020
tjmax on GPU's is something around 90-100c
hell, my laptop will run at 90c for hours with no issues
>>344961907
What cpu fampai?
I get 1759 in single core.
>>344962078
5930k
>>344962070
>tjmax on GPU's is something around 90-100c
That's like saying that a Honda is good for 120mph because that's what the top speed is.
It's not healthy for it to sit there. That heat will also kill any sort of GPU boost and shorten the life of the card.
>>344956545
>32 gigs of ram
Why? Even 16 is more than you'll need if you're playing just video games. Unless you actually render ass tons of video or photoshop, you basically bought a lot of extra nothing
>>344961991
Unreal?
3dMark?
Passmark?
CineBench?
>>344962276
dude I posted a CPU bench, those are GPU benches. Don't call me a retard because I posted something other than you wanted
>>344962543

>Cinebench and Passmark are GPU benches
Geekbench is for shitters.
Got my new videocard yesterday.
>>344960345
Bait
>>344962783
Anon.
For some people it doesn't matter because they have low-tier systems that don't benefit, or they lack the ability to overclock.
But seriously, you have a 4790k and a 1080.
Why the fuck are you running 1066 ram.
>>344962921
speccy can't into accurate RAM speeds
>>344962986
Really?
I know it tends to report half speed because it's coded like shit, but I don't recall it reporting that half speed incorrectly.
>>344962986
Speccy reports half speed, not incorrect speed.

>>344961641
No, I was running HS and Overwatch in the background.
Overwatch off gives me 57c for the cpu and 45c for the graphics card.
Its pretty hot at the equator.

CPU is running at 4.3GHz
>>344964148
Was it not stable at something like 4.5/4.6?
>>344964203
Actually it wasn't even stable at 4.3GHz before. Just changed the core clock a few days ago back to 4.3 and now it seems to be working fine with no BSODs. I don't know what was acting up, didn't seem to be my CPU though.
>>344964498
Might have just lost the silicon lottery.
It happens.
