I hope, quakers know yours hardware :)

Flank3r, meet Monkey_Business. MB, this here is Flank3r.

Considering how many people whine of their shitty FPS on Asylum...

Hahaha :D

I once asked some people their PC specs because they always complained about Asylum and Quarantine. When they gave me the specs, I started to believe that there are actually many Quake players who play Quake Live today because they can't play anything else, and not because they think Quake is just better and only that.

Or perhaps they don't upgrade their pcs because they don't care about new games?

Even Quake Live? :)

Don't care about Asylum and Quarantine.

It's true that FPS drops on the other regular maps is also not such a big deal.

There are maybe some spots on toxicity where I will lose ten or so frames but nothing is as bad as those two maps.

Tox had (has?) some texture/lightning issues when you exit the teleport (lower RL) and face MH area. You still experience it?

Sure do.

But if you care enough about QL, and invest in monitors/mice/mats/etc., would it not make sense to buy a decent enough C2Q and a GeForce series 200 card to get a good framerate anyway?

Even if one was not to invest heavily in hardware, still, optimizing for Quake in 2013 is as expensive as a night or two out for some drinks.

Yes in case of PC.

Because you're not using a PC?

Apple, I'd assume.

laptop. Ok, technically laptop is PC.

some samsung syncmaster i got off ebay for £40
some athlon II i got off ebay for £20
8gb corsair dominator ram i got off ebay for £20
some cruddy gt610 i got off ebay for £18 - get replaced by gtx oneday
and a GA-970-ds3 board i got retail for £55

Did you get militia off ebay?

no, paypal me all a joint £100, i`ll release the Q43A source to the public

Oh what a treat that would be!!!

you all can have your cups and win your $1000 and pro sponsers n shit

Q43A has been downloaded 20 times this week, make some frag movies and the action packed pub games, or tournament mode with your custom damagesets and so on

more of a threat

Yeah, I would almost paypal him £100 not to ever release Q43A source to the public.

paypal the money to

PI Calculation is done!

Well, I don't know about all that, but I'm pretty sure the second decimal point of PI is "4".

lmao

Pole Trigonometry :DDDD

My PI > yours

I hope you all have a cheap AC power provider ...

you only need a 620watt PSU, and thats still never used like 450 back in the day of athlon XP

anything watts,, is for sli, sata saves extra watts over molex/IDE

init, normal gtx cards use 75watts and normall just run off your motherboard, gtx ti can use upto 160watts and need the pci-e cord on the psu

wurd, 6 sata + 6 usb + 5 pci-e slots and PSU`s are only 80% efficient without spending £300 on a psu

and everything now a days charges its battery up using extra USB power

75W MB
per 6pin PSU GTX connector each 75W

my fav card has two 6 pin connectors

more adv cards has a 8 pin connector, you have to get a right PSU to connect those properly

Enermax has a PSU calc ...

Power Supply Calculator

you dont need to add 5/6 x 75 watts, if your average pci-e card is a soundcard or firewire etc, and only uses 10 watts maximum

i started with 350W PSU now i have a 450W ... after the CRT is gone with it's 140W the pc will be not that hungry on AC power

back in the day, you could have a 450 watt PSU and put anything in your PC and it will still be stable and never run out of juice not matter how much multi-tasking is being done

cpu`s use 60-150 watts depending on number of cores, then you have heatsinks with 80-140mm fans, and gtx ti cards etc

if your want to buy 1 PSU, and are not going to have SLi, then a 620 watt PSU would be like having a 450 back in the day

you can bring back the copy bluray discs in the back ground, listening to some tunes, leaving your wintv card playing in the corner, coding or browsing the net

all at the same time

xbox one, it's like having supercomputer in your living room

its like half the power of a ps4, which is half the power of a full PC

Xbox One is the perfect balance of power and performance. In addition to Xbox One’s revolutionary architecture, the combination of its CPU, GPU and ESRAM is like having a supercomputer in your living room. But raw power is nothing without speed. So the Xbox One uses its power more effectively, creating lightning fast experiences unlike anything you’ve had before.

It's written right there on OFFICIAL website. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/innovation

Who do you think I will trust, this or some random person on the internet who says it's wrong?

ahhhhhh marketing, a legit way to lie to your customers <3

in the real world its a heap of shit, and everything is slower and smaller then the ps4, except for having 12gbs extra memory bandwidth, and cant do full 1080p render images

get a alternative shell for windows 7, and just have a button screen and network control, run the buttons off the installed games directory/registry keys, and have a real super computer if you disable all the other shit services you dont need

Does your windows shell has ESRAM?

Though so.

And what about powerful Kinect 2.0? What you gonna do about it?

explain

replacement shell for movies etc http://xbmc.org/about/

create a new user account on your PC, and install xbmc, and login to the new account and set xmbc as its windows shell, with a registry key change or group policy

you can set un needed services to only startup on your main PC account

new will probably need to make a addon for xmbc which scans and updates its screen from

startmenu/run/

shell:Games

other replacements shells good for games are hotspin and gameEx

you wont be able to auto login, if its your only PC, or you can, but you have to switch user when you want to play games etc

hotpsin = hyperspin

How do you turn that monitor on 120hz mode? I dont have any option for it in drivers in windows.

It might be because i have rather old PC right now - hopefully I will be able to fix that when i will get the new one :)

Maybe your gpu/video driver doesn't support that mode combination(resoluton/Hz).

well I tried the new ones and it didnt work either

I did have somewhere in between error that my card doesnt support 3d mode and 3d needs 120hz to work so that may be a clue but we will see

What's your video card?

6600gt

Do you use dual-link dvi cable? As the standart dvi does not support 120Hz.

yes I do :)

I GET TO CHOOSE THE RAM MODEL? THANKS FRIEND. :)

all from Kingston, Corsair or GSkill will be good. These RAMs have the best motherboards support.

Ah ye, I know Kingston and Corsair. I will remember!

Mushkin and ADATA are also good bets. Mushkin more though, would likely be the first place I'd go for RAM.

Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230 v3(8M Cache, 3.30 GHz)

i did not know the supported processor on this board, my mainboard was on the way ... shite !

nice, nice. :)

i7
670gtx
8gb ram
22" samsung

mx310
keyboard

current:
AMD 7850 BE
ASRock N-68-s mobo
2gb Crucial Ballistix
320mb 8800gts
60gb vertex 2 ssd (os)
Samsung 320gb hdd
some shit 450w psu
some cheap coollermaster case

building (just need ram):
AMD a8-5600k APU
some fm2 asrock mobo
hopefully 8gb ram
350w Silverstone psu
case and ssd from other pc
probably get a 6670 to crossfire with the APU at a later date.

try FM2+ board, because FM2+ support Trinity, Richland and Kaveri CPU (A8-5000 are Trinity, 6000 are Richlands and 7000 will be Kaveri in 2014).

I have one system with Trinity :). Its my hobby, so I have 4 PCs, one for all and others for some play with benchmarks :)

already bought an fm2 one from ebay for £20, just waiting on some ram now

most of the specs in this thread are all shit, and have gt or gts cards, and those are like having a tnt2 ultra, with a gpu roughly around the same clock speed

Altho i only play quake live and use photoshop, my computer for 400eur is more then i need.

most of you brag about specs.. but how many of you can keep an windows installation for more than 6-12 months without getting bogged down in crapware?

my current Win7 installation is almost 4 years old :P

Ye same here. And i frequent porn sites and "warez" sites often and don't use anti-virus/adware or firewall. I just don't understand how people fuck up their computers so royally. Also i am far from a geek.

maybe you don't know if your comp is f****ed up ?

Every so often i run an online scan or just install, run scan and uninstall afterwards.

if you don't use Noscript with Firefox on a Win PC without any AV ... it's dangerous

i would be frightened with my 50mBit router in the back ^ ^

TechSNAP

Dunno i do use my Ghonestry and adblock script..dunno what Noscript does tho.

I have 100mbit optical here at home. ROUTER IS DOING FINE :D

NoScript blocking all the unwanted skripts from diff IP's on a website, when you visit a lot websites, then you have to figere out what to allow to use the website properly.

it's the only way to block javascript's used by hackers to get into your system.

Disable Javascript plugin also in the browser !

OK, then you use some protection >8-)

Aw, thanks for the heads up..ill disable it.
Ill install it and see how it goes. If its too much work figuring out what to allow etc. ill drop it and go to my hackable old setup :)

Oh shit people are being serious now! I want a turn!

this thread is shit without 3dmark scores, although most will need 3dmark vantage for directx 10

Phoronix Test Suite uses OpenGL as it is used in most id games ^ ^

Openbenchmaring.org#TestSuites Phoronix Test Suite Suites

or ...

Openbenchmarking.org#Unigine Test Suite Unigine Heaven Benchmark

direct x is microsoft, microsoft are a driving force in hardware because of their shit code

open GL wont make a difference, each generation of cards support the random openGL 4.* version

having hi poly demo`s looking light the avatar movie poly count is better to look at then just some result graphs

OpenGL DIED anyway with JC/TTimo leaving id

you can play UT with openGL drivers, the idtech5 runs opengl but has no linux support anyway ...

ps4 is openGL with its freebsd OS, openGL is all linux has for any kind of graphics and will never die

I only play Quake Live once in a while. Macbook Air 2013 connected to a Dell U2711, random keyboard and Logitech G400.

RIP QL on Mac OS X.

I already have a Bootcamp-partition, that I only use for QL. Never even installed it on OS X directly.

And that's why you play so rarely...
