General computer talk/advice

I couldn't find one. At least not for Windows 8.1.

 

I've got a guage, I watch the fans go from 0rpm to 800 then what ever it goes to, 800 being low as it can go with it on, but it doens't spin up till around 75 and gets to 80 because the fans are still spinning and deciding how much RAW POWARRRRRR is needed then it goes back down into the 70's or stays in the 80's depending what gaming I'm playing, also, L.A Noire is that bad of a port, my fans don't even spin on when playing it, its basically a cpu 1 core game.

 

Main monitor has been glitching a bit lately. I assumed it was a driver/overclock issue and as restarting always fixed it and it didn't happen often I ignored it. Well, today after doing it it seems my monitor is slightly broken. Flickering like a cheapshit LED christmas light string and faint horizontal lines. Tried different PCs, resetting the OSD, different power brick, different cables, etc etc.

Well past the Newegg replacement period and currently with Acer chat.

 

Ala hit it on the back and side like you would punch and it will work. Trust me, I'm an engineer. (of breaking shit)

 

I trust you that you are lying XD

 

I need more RAM. Minecraft server running 24/7 takes up 3.5GB. Even though I only reserved 3 for it as maximum. Stupid java resource management.

 

in general minecraft is a small sh** game :/ thats why I am not playing it anymore. You do everytime the same and only small 9 year olds play that with 10 - 15 fps and say mummi look how smooth it runs with my new GT 260

 

Playing modded minecraft with friends is fun. It's a private server.

 

Still MC is not my game even tho I played it 4 years XD

 

My monitor has been fine ever since that night it went weird. I guess it just didn't like running 75Hz instead of 60.

 

What is the best graphics card for $480 max.

 

Hahaha, was it a FRIday ?

Nvidia for gaming drivers, AMD for raw computing power. What comes into question is what will you want more of in the end and what will you be using it for? Simplest answer from me is, the best one you can get for $480, then again, I use AMD.

 

Would an i7 9xx be a good (cheap!) update from a Core2 Quad Q9550?

I'm aiming at more FPS in BeamNG as my CPU is now the bottleneck. See specs below.

 

Just dl more from http://www.downloadmoreram.com it works 99.999999999% of the time.

Thought about that myself, but a i7 9xx is around the Haswell i3 area now by perfomance. So except around (beamng experts put number here)FPS.

Dual R9 290x setup? Maybe a 980, just maybe.

 

Is this what you are looking for?

 

i7 9xx series is WAAAAAAAAAY different than a i7 39xx CPU series.

 

okay, good, thought it might be a type-o, and I am not 100% Intel savy you know.

 

Icytower387 you have to explain, we have to analyze, otherwise we cannot help and will create more problems with bad advice. You want good things right? You must do them yourself a bunch.

 

GTX 970 or R9 290X. Both are around $350. There's no card in the $400-500 range, the GTX 980 is $550 and the Radeon 295x2 (dual 290X) is $600-700.
