fyi. overclocking did fuck all to the frame rate then game me some lovely purple squares and reboot.. so that was well worth the effort.
As was playing on the searched for n00b server.. fuck’n noobs.. theyre good!
Anyway, after all that I had a round on the xdc server and did pretty well.. got about 10/11 which i was pretty happy with.
I think it makes a difference if youre in a decent squad. was with insane and wolf i think (but i might have just plucked you names from my hat).. anyway.. was good.
November 18, 2011 at 11:33 am #80651AlzirKeymasterThat’s a decent squad?…oh sorry 😉
Seriously though, it makes a massive difference being in a squad who’re focused on the actual game rather than sitting in one with the sniper types (for example) who sit miles away from the action, usually doing nothing for the team except for the occasional kill. It also helps being on ts so you’re able to focus what you’re all doing a bit, rather than being the type of squad who are always running off in different directions.

to quote doc “buy cheap, buy twice. och aye the noo!”. But I normally disregard Doc. Personally I would /did replace the mobo for future proofing (!) and get am i5 or i3 processor for cheapness, you can always add a better processor later but a decent i5 will do the trick nicely. Of course this means new RAM probably and maybe new gfx card (just checked and yours is the minimum listed!). Given no case and psu/drives etc, could be yours for about £400-500.
If you do that check the other posts about PCs for BF3, but I would recommend a z68 chipset motherboard (supposed to support the next gen “ivybridge” processors) and SSd caching (of minimal interest to most people though!) as well as Virtu stuff which is excellent for video decoding/2d applications but is a bit complicated and gaming doesn’t really get an advantage from.
The pieces are coming together…
I got a new gfx card (Evga GTX 460 SC and put it in my current PC.. and bf plays at 30fps on high settings)but.. I’ve also got an I5 2500k and 16GB or ram sitting in my drawer waiting for their new home to arrive (hopefully monday)
The motherboard is a Zotac Z68 ITX board, so will be able to go to an ivy bridge if i feel the need.. (should run cooler)
My only worry is heat inside the small case.. most of which will come from the GFX..
I was playing last night and the fan was .. well.. LOUD.. that was keeping it at 60c.
Anyway.. just going to save up for the sata 3 SSD and ill be ready to build it.
total spend.. well.. ~£600.. and i play all of 2 hours a week! and my current rig can just about handle it.. 😆 😆
WOOT for me..
January 20, 2012 at 10:30 am #80658airmessyParticipantU nutter. I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120813595400?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3136wt_1396 just before xmas for 600.
I can play on ultra 1980xsomething res and not drop below 30 fps. I run it on high tho and it is constantly capped at vsync rate (60)January 20, 2012 at 10:43 am #80659Cha0sEngineParticipantooooooooo shiny!
but i need it to fit under the TV…
this is the case its all going into http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silverstone-sg05bb-450-sugo-mini-itx-cube-case-all-black-with-450w-sfx-psu-80-plus-bronze-blackI spose there is a premium for the ITX form factor..
e.g. the motherboard is £130 whereas i can probably get an ATX Z68 mobo for £70..i also for some reason went nuts on the RAM.. could (SHOULD) have got 8gb for £40.. but went for 16 for £100.. (its 2x8gb)
