Has anyone tried the new Mantle drivers and BF4? I'm installing BF4 on my Kaveri HTPC and testing before/after. I read that APUs will see the most gain from Mantle, and rightfully so.

I'm confused, what is the deal here?

Is this a spare build, an upgrade or something else?

Why did you post that? You left no information. Yes I agree, the case is terrible.

This PC hurts to look at, i had to wash my eyes out. The case alone scares me lol



Cleaner photo of the case... still ugly




EDIT: That said, if I start marketing builds locally again, this is the case I'm using. New approach this time, appealing to idiots who like shiny things and big numbers.

My HIS 270x IceQ arrived today, finally. I must say, HIS impresses again. Not only is it a fully unlocked reference PCB with a bios switch, but it also runs cooler and at a lower fan speed/noise than the Powercolors (all three at same clocks and voltage). It's also getting fewer rejected shares at the same intensity.

It's GPU0 of rig 2

Yeah the coolers actually "look" decent and those are some awesome temps for a HIS product.

Blue, hit me up on Skype so we can meet up.

Sounds like you should be writing reviews...

I never did apply. I had planned to a few days ago, but I'm wrapping up a fairly high-profile project for work, plus I took advantage of the past few days to spend time with my wife and daughter since the schools and daycares were closed. So, life got in the way.

If it's not too late, I may apply today, and just send my whole PC guide PDF as a writing sample. Need to do a few edits/updates in the GPU section.

Coyote, a while back you posted a site some screenshots in a fallout thread about some sort of texture re-rendering or something. Do you remember what it was? I can't

ETA: The site had lots of other games too. Thinking maybe it redid the shading?

SweetFX.

I wouldn't play console ports without it.

Also if you're interested in HL2, use the Cenimatic Mod from FakeFactory. Not linking because I'm on I10.

If you need help installing and applieing the mod, we can jump in TS/Vent/Skype.

Someone mentioned the DIY kits on newegg.com and I think I found a decent one for an entry level gaming PC.

Do Want (I think)

Over priced.

You don't want to get a shtty GPU and CFx it with Kaveri. Just buy you an Athlon and a decent dedicated GPU if you want to game and a FX if you want to stream.

I know you have been interested

Yeah, I really want it.. but...

I also really want an XBONE for my "media device". So if another console is in my future, it would be the XBONE then WiiU, as of now.

That's it. Thank you sir!

If you need help, let me know. SweetFX is a mod which can be placed in damn near every game. I run almost all my shtty graphical games with some type of SFX mod.
