E3 was great. Some very good titles coming out at the end of the year, but on the negative side there are almost too many triple A releases set for the last quarter.

Yes Vu I am still here lurking from time to time. I haven't had a skyline for about 4 years now but am sorta kinda thinking of getting a V35, not really sure though.

You still speak to Shane? I saw him around December I think it was.

Also I ended up buying an ASUS HD6850 overclocked edition.

I haven't noticed a huge increase in framerate with it but I can turn up the pretty effects a fair bit.

I think I'm going to build a whole new PC (minus keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc) in a few months time.

Yeah madaz I had an old 512MB HD4870 I got about 3 years ago so i'm very happy with it.

Now I want to build a new PC though which is both good and bad lol.

Really waiting for Skyrim and Red Orchestra, and they will sick on a new PC.

yeah i saw a trailer of the new RO on steam its changed hands? no longer made by the same people i never really got into the old one

i have a mobo I'm trying to get a warranty claim on the socket when i put the cpu in it munched all the pins rang up inspect-a-gadget he said he has even had it happen to him just not as many pins and said good luck with the claim 2

if it comes back gigabyte will fix it i think i will chuck a i7 2600k in it and upgrade from the Q6600

Red Orchestra 2 is still being done by tripwire who did the original.

Being built on the unreal engine 3 as well.

Wow that sucks on the motherboard, was it a 1155 or 1366 socket?

Cos your Q6600 would be an old 775 like my core 2 duo.

I know I've asked this before bit I've forgotten.

I need a decent anti virus. I'm downloading heaps of tv shows and movies now that I've got 200gb downloads so I want a decent anit virus.

Prices, places to get them etc.

Cheers

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
