Subject: Want to build a PC? PC Building Guide and FAQ of The Flood

Who the hell do you think I am?

Yes, if your screen is at 60Hz it will only ever display up to 60 FPS. 120Hz only up to 120FPS and so on. But after 200FPS you aren't able to tell the difference, supposedly (not that I've ever even seen a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 120hz)

In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender.

i can't even tell the difference in fps above 60 let alone 120

yeah, probably because your monitor is 60hz (which most are unless you spend more than a couple hundred dollars)

What I want to know is which option would be best for me: adaptable vsync or vsync + triple buffering?

Well, I'll play around with it, and see for myself.

You can't really upgrade anything on a laptop.

$1,200? I'd assume it's in Aussie dollars.

Do you need a monitor and OS?


Yes, I will need a monitor. OS, you mean operating system like Windows 7? Yeah I'l need that too.
$1,200 in Australia dollars. And then i can ask my shop if they can beat it. If not, I've still got the best for $1,200


What do you think of this?

Should be around $1072 AUD.

It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to.

If I plan on overclocking anyways, is there any reason to get the Turbo edition or the Boost Clock edition of the HIS IceQ Radeon 7950?

*Ahem*

My 55" Sony Bravia 240hz, but it's sorta too big to be in the monitor class haha. Oh and ASUS recently released 27" 144hz monitors. ;)

Newegg
I would say the Boost Clock as it has the revised 7950 BIOS with GPU Boost and all. The custom cooler should provide more leeway in overclocking.

Also, be sure to have enough space in your case. The card may superficially require two slots but it's essentially a three slot cooler due to the protrusion of the fan.

my rocket launcher is having some trouble


lower your FOV

can you actually play like that decent
Don't you mean to increase the FOV?

And you can use google to figure out how to offload the PhysX stuff to your CPU in BL2.

I can actually tell the different all the way up to 300 FPS. After that, I can't tell. If you want to be technical, 60 Hz means that the monitor refreshes 60 times per second. This would display 60 FPS with Vsynch on. However, if you have more than 60 FPS, you will still see 60 frames, but they will appear smoother because when you fit, let's say 90 frames into 60 Hz, you'll see a few frames in those 60 that wouldn't normally be there.

And hundreds of dollars? I don't think so.

It might fit some people's setups, and beggars can't be choosers, besides, I just wanted to show that you can get cheap 120 Hz monitors.

Yes! With the newegg 15% of all keyboards code EMCJNNA233 (expires 10/10) it comes down to 127 dollars. Obviously it can't compete with a Filco, WASD, Leopold, Ducky, or any of those brands for the price, but it's nice to see Logitech getting into mech boards.

By the way, if anyone(in America) is shopping for a 670 right now, the Asus one is on sale right now for 379.99 right now on Newegg.

Here's a link. It's only 379 if you take advantage of the $20MIR, though.

Of course, it's CoD, but if you have some black spray paint, just take the cover off and fix it up ;)

I feel like not many GPUs will go on sale, at least the ones I want. So, that's either the 7950, 660ti, or 670. I know for sure the processor I want will though, so I should be able to get that for about $100 less.

Depending on the price, the 3570k, if not, the 3550. I know my local Microcenter had the 3550 on sale for like, $150 a few weeks ago, and they always have processors on sale. The 3570k is usually $180 over there, instead of being $250.

Sooooo jealous of you right now....the nearest Microcenter to me is all the way over in Atlanta, Georgia....and I live in Tampa, Florida.

The only computer store in Tampa is CompUSA. It's not a bad store or anything....but Microcenter always has amazing deals...

I love my Microcenter. They have everything I need. I feel like they're a little skimpy on GPUs and HDDs though, but other than that, they're all good.

One thing that my CompUSA never skimps out on.

I may just have to make a video....a short series of videos of me and my adventures on Black Friday. Will be interesting.

Logitech makes good rubber dome keyboards so I'm not worried at all about quality.

I actually like the colour scheme.
