Re: General discussion chat If you dont mind spending 30$ more. GTX 750 Ti. If you dont mind spending 60$ more. R9 270
Re: General discussion chat A 260X should get 30-50 FPS in all maps except for east coast. Overclock it and you'll average 40-ish. Overclocking is very easy using MSI afterburner, Sapphire whateveritwascalled or even AMD's own driver suite which has an OC utility (I'm currently using it with no stability issues).
Re: General discussion chat Yep. You won't have any CPU bottleneck in BeamNG, let alone other games which barely touch the CPU.
Re: General discussion chat Yea cuz I got the processor and thougt it would run better but now I know I also need a better GPU.
Re: General discussion chat In my experience lowering texture and mesh detail makes barely any difference at all, both visual and performance wise. In normal settings you should get a good 40-60 FPS depending on where on the map you are. You'll probably get ~50 if you overclock. I have no idea how much OC headroom the 260X has, but a 50 MHz increase in core clock speed is enough to make a noticeable difference.
Re: General discussion chat i7 != best cpu evar omgee Actually, an i7 makes barely any difference for gaming (2-3 FPS increase from an i5- 4690K to an i7-4790K paired with a GTX 980, and that's just the 500 MHz increase in clock speed, since the 3.5 GHz i5 has the same gaming performance as a 3.5 GHz i7-4770K). It's much better than the i5, however, for video and 3d rendering. - - - Updated - - - AMD Radeon R7 260X. There are several manufacturers, I recommend Sapphire as their quality is very good and it's the cheapest model at $110.

I'm making one now.
Re: General discussion chat Done. You broke my post chain - - - Updated - - - I'm bored. I'm gonna remake my Intel wallpaper in Illustrator to export 4K versions. Then I might make an AMD/Radeon wallpaper and a Nvidia one.
Re: General discussion chat Spent the rest of a Gamestop card on Midnight Club 2. All the nostalgias. It's still saving my settings after I tried to exit options.
Re: General discussion chat Wtf my games on steam wont launch. It also say theys cant sync with cloud... - - - Updated - - - Wtf Says this with all steam games. What should i do
Re: General discussion chat Come on, Beam. Stap with the memory usage, por favor. It'd be nice to play for more than 30 minutes without filling 8 gig of RAM up.
