So I really wanna play some recent shit like Hitman and Far Cry 3, but I don't wanna be a filthy console poor with their sub-720p frame buffers. My current system is THUS and I'm wondering if just the GPU is the bottleneck or there's more to it:
Win7 64-bit
i7 920 @ 2.7ghz (8 CPUs)
6GB RAM
GeForce GTS 250
Corsair 120GB SSD
Right now it's pulling about 30fps at 1080p on nicely optimized stuff like Sleeping Dogs, but I'd like some nicer perf.
The issue is I don't have a lot of scrilla to drop on this, I'd really, really like to spend under $300 on a GPU. I figure y'all are quite knowledgable at this kinda shit yo. And until then I will play some Yakuza Dead Souls :rock
-
Yeah, it's definitely the GPU that needs an upgrade.
-
Addendum: I've actually got twin 560s in the box right now. They are NOT running SLI because I drive three displays plus one mirrored to the big TV in the Sho Nuff Sex Dungeon. Can I replace just one of these and is the system smart enough to play games through the beefy GPU?
-
Dirty poor.

Yes I get it your PC can run everything better then consoles, maybe this was amazing in 2008 but boasting your pc is better then 2005 consoles in 2013 is just laughable.
Also lot of people seem to think their mediocre PC's will from day 1 run next gen games maxed out and shit, obviously these are PC noobs that don't remember the jump in required specs should be huge as always and that PC's aren't optimized gaming machines. Your PC will struggle next gen, so sorry, and the PC you made this year won't last till the end of next gen so please just stfu.
Steam? Yeah its got sales if you want to wait 6 months for the late PC port, then another 6 months for sales. And then you can't even resell your copy.
There was a thread on GAF asking people what they wanted from next gen and lots of these punks came there to say they got a PC so they are not excited AS IF PC's are fully utilised right now.
I'm a PC guy but these tossers that just build their first PC in the last 12 months and can't shut up about it annoy me.

PC gamers are annoying idiots. I'm not talking about normal, balanced gamers who also own a pc, games on it and owns a bunch of consoles. I'm talking about grown ass men who still have time to fuck around mods, fixes, and all that bs on a daily basis to just play a game. I work in IT and I stopped bothering with pc gaming in 2005 or so.
It's a waste of time and money, except for a select few titles.
I love their distinguished mentally-challenged stories of getting 60fps using their rigs with sli videocards and how superior it is to console ports.. Please spec me out a top of the line 2005 system that could BF at the same settings and framerate. You cant.
The fact that a 400$ console designed in 2005 can still play the latest titles at great framerates in 2012 speaks volumes. PC gaming is not really worth it anymore.

what's going on
-
Get out of my thread
And can someone tell me if I can just replace one of my two old ass GPUs
-
I would replace it with a single card. Not sure about running 3 monitors but most of them support at least two outputs.

Nvidia 660 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130809)

you can replace one and set the other as a physX card, but you can't SLI two different cards, if that's what you're asking

Nice copypasta bro :lol
-
Sorry, I'm no good at subtext, gay or otherwise :-\
-
Bahaha I just realized that's from the other thread
660ti it is
-
I just want to add bravo, excellent thread, gentlemen. :lol
-
Sho Nuff - look at the outputs on the card before you buy. I have 3 displays running off a single card right now, but one of them is via VGA. You can probably live with that for your 3rd monitor.

Sorry, I'm no good at subtext, gay or otherwise :-\
it's okay, i'm just more actively posting, so you get to see my ups and downs. i'm always a little unhinged. but i try to admit when i'm being a dumb ass.

:lol at Don
Hell, I thought Kosma had pulled a copypasta from gaf.

So I really wanna play some recent shit like Hitman and Far Cry 3, but I don't wanna be a filthy console poor with their sub-720p frame buffers. My current system is THUS and I'm wondering if just the GPU is the bottleneck or there's more to it:
Win7 64-bit
i7 920 @ 2.7ghz (8 CPUs)
6GB RAM
GeForce GTS 250
Corsair 120GB SSD
Right now it's pulling about 30fps at 1080p on nicely optimized stuff like Sleeping Dogs, but I'd like some nicer perf.
The issue is I don't have a lot of scrilla to drop on this, I'd really, really like to spend under $300 on a GPU. I figure y'all are quite knowledgable at this kinda shit yo. And until then I will play some Yakuza Dead Souls :rock
I think you meant 8 cores. And I am pretty sure that the I7 920 is 4 cores only.
btw get a 570 card.

yes but it is specified as quad core.
-
DXDiag showed it as 8 CPUs, no idea if they mean cores.
I think I'm going to pick up Far Cry 3 and see if the 250 can handle it. If not, I'm off to Fry's.

Hyper-threading, dude.
:o
Such puissance~!
