Found my granddads old computer he gave me a while back, things a beast, Athlon XP 3000+, 1gb upgraded to 2gb of DDR1! RAM, a ATI 9600 which I swapped out for a 9800 I had laying around, a 30GB boot drive with a 40GB storage drive and Windows XP PRO SP3. Personally I think this is the fastest computer on this forum.
Well. Im going to attempt to inventory all my parts and computers. spreadsheet is on google drive. click here if you want to see it
If you can count playing Mahjong, I guess... He has a Xbox for his games, lot simpler for him to use, no idea why he had such a early 2000's beastmode PC.
Maybe he was like my mum she did it for awhile but then she went to consoles as it was easier for her as she got fed up with upgrading and issues with compatibility. I might see if I can probably get her into it again.
I doubt it, he was given the PC by my uncle IIRC, plus he had a first gen Xbox at the time, then a 360 and now a one.
that moment when a tablet gets better performance on beamng than your laptop , yes an intel atom at 1.3ghz did beat my C2D T7200 on the pigeon at grid map getting 35 fps where as at a lower resoloution a dedicated GPU loses against integrated intel HD, god intel have come a long way in their laptop tech
If your Baytrail Atom does that, why can't my Baytrail Quad-Core Pentium do that. Hmm... Time to do a low-spec gamer I guess.
What kind of FPS could I expect with a GTX 960, or should I just wait a few more weeks and grab a 970.
I like being given things, even if they are old Toshiba laptop's with 1.6ghz intel celerys and 2gigs of ram, my payment for fixing my dads friends laptop.
i need some advice i have an old samsung np-r730 windows 7, last month the hard drive gave up and is unfixable, as is the cd reader, the ram is still good, should i take it apart and use it for parts or just stick a new hard drive into it?
Besides ram and hard drive, there are no replaceable parts in there to take apart and use elsewhere. Best off either replacing the whole machine at great cost or just getting a new hard drive. --- Post updated --- Get the 970. If you can afford it in a few weeks then yes it is the much better card, better priceerformance ratio too.
Dust carpet anyone? Also found out why the power jack was flapping around in the breeze little tabs have snapped, nothing a little snot glue wont fix
Just bought myself Asus Strix GTX 970 DirectCU II OC 4Gb + Samsung EVO 850 250Gb SSD for 399€. On top of that I also got Far Cry Primal and Tom Clancy's The Division for free. I think that they are good enough for 1080p gaming and that GPU should be rather future proof. I will buy rest of the components in next month
The main reason is still more performance though. You seem to are happy when talking about GPUs though. Though.
