How Fast Is Your Pc?

[insu]

Heya gang.

As some of you might have seen I had a fair few issues with my brand new computer and I just wanted to say they are all sorted now, yay!

I am finally running the pc all 100% now, so I thought I'd test out the graphics so I install my old copy of F.E.A.R.

I then maxed out every performance/graphics/physics/lighting setting in the game, then ran that little 'test my settings' to see if it is optimum or not for your pc (you know the one that runs that in game sequence).

WELL... It looks friggin fantastic, I had no idea how much I was missing out on when I was running it on my old computer, and I thought the game looked good then!

Anyway, long story short these are the stats it came up with in that end dialogue box:

Minimum Frames Per Second: 67

Average Frames Per Second: 111

Maximum Frames Per Second: 255

% Under 25 FPS: 0%

% Between 25-40 FPS: 0%

% OVer 40 FPS: 100%

So needless to say I am a very, very happy camper!

If anyone else could run that same thing from FEAR on their system and post their scores along with their comp specs, I'd love to compare my bits with yours... ehehe.

My PC Processor speed is just 1.6 GHz.........ROFL !

Mind if i ask what your specs are?

Im about to get my new rig so i will be able to see what i should expect.

Intel 2 Core Duo E6600 2.4GHZ 1066FSB

GIGABYTE S775, GA-965P-DS3P V3.3

4GB Corsair Ram: DDR2 PC-6400

Gainwind Pre OC 640mb DDR3 8800GTS PCI-E

2x 250G SATA2 Seagate Barracuda's 3G/s 16mb 7200.10 (I was going to Raid with a 10,000 WD for the system files, but meh)

720Watt power supply

2x Asus DVD-Burner's

An Asus silent knight for the CPU

A few case fans, a coolermaster case and a leadtek DVB-T and capture card

Oh and a 22" Widescreen Chimei monitor, 5ms, and a creative 5.1 surround speaker system

& Vista Premium.

With my case & cpu cooler I also have the scope to safetly overclock my cpu out to around 3~3.2GHZ as well as increase the FSB speed, and also overclock the graphics card a little more using something like AtiTool as well as increase my ram timings.

But at the moment, it just doesn't need any of that.

I've run:

F.E.A.R

Doom3

Quake4 &

Halflife 2

All with everything maxed out and not once have any of those games even shown a flicker of a slower framerate, or have any issues at producing anything on screen.

I'm very happy.

You'll be looking at higher performance than mine with that video card... But I spose for most applications it would be a moot point, as both of our systems will be running that well that you couldn't tell the difference.

We both have the same ram though.

Are you just going to use the raptor for your system files?

You looking at overclocking your cpu at all?

[Baconer]

how much did those setups cost? Should look at upgrading mine seeing as my computer beeps every few seconds and lags on each beep from overheating (2 fans plus case off and pedestal fan blowing in)

[25GTT]

so how much did these puppies cost you if you dont mind me asking?

[MADGT4]

Yeah the raptor will just be used for system files.

Unsure about overclocking, but all the hardware is there to support it thats for sure! Just that ive never done it... So now would be the time.

Mine set me back just over $3k

Mine cost about $3.2K.

That's including a 22" widescreen lcd, and 5.1 surround system.

I already had my own copy of vista and wireless keyboard/mouse and ups etc.

Its never been easier to overclock than it is now!

Check out the new atomic, I think they've got a decent overclocking guide in there this month.

how much without all the extras, just the hardware. Seriously need to upgrade

[Gazzilla]

If you want a game that will really Test your Rig, try playing STALKER on high settings..

If u want to buy it off me for $50, pm me.

[D-G]

I hate this thread!!! go away =[ i need to make some serious upgrade changes on mine also.

Insu i remember talking about your computer and the case problem etc, but without the goodies outside the box, roughly how much did it cost as Baconer asked.

Btw i have run World of Warcraft Med-High settings at 164fps if that counts as something.

[Leon.T]

damn, those computer specs are mad....

Yeah i've got all that stuff ready to go.... My mate has his own small comp business so i get a wee bit-o discount.

Its never been easier to overclock than it is now!

Check out the new atomic, I think they've got a decent overclocking guide in there this month.

Will do!

Obviously you add more for an aftermarket cpu cooler, which in my case I went for an Asus silent knight, plus the DVB card.

I should also make a note that you could probably get gear cheaper than this which would work at the same level perfectly well if you are keeping it stock, but with the cpu, cooler, ram and motherboard I chose, I specifically looked for overclocking friendly gear. Also the video card can take a bit more using something like ATITool, or so I hear.

On another note, for anyone looking to build their own system AusPc market have a decent price for a package which includes:

1x intel E6600 2.4ghz Duo Core Cpu

1x Gigabyte P965 motherboard

1x 2Gig corsair XSM2-6400 DDR2 Ram

For $797.50 inc GST.

Add a decent graphics card (8800GTS, don't even consider the ghey 85 and 8600 cards out now... check out any reviews and specs and you'll see why),

a case, PSU, DVD drive & HDD and you could have a decent barebones system for under $2k I rekon (without os obviously).

And before anyone asks. No I did not by my system, nor any gear from AusPc.

hmmm my computer is super old now.

i got the first SLi motorboard out with the nforce4 chipset and a socket 939 athlon. Now the socket is obsolete, so if i want to upgrade, it's new CPU, motherboard, RAM as a minimum! unless i can find an old socket 939 athlon but it's not really worth the money.
