re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

From a 7870 to 680 any don't feel any different?

BS

Yeah, GK104-400 but with faster memory

You get the PhysX. Don't tell me this didn't make Borderlands feel like a different game.

Oh damn..

What the shield needs is the ability to download your steam games to it. Then it would be a lot more attractive. However that isn't as easy as it sounds.

By the way I found using my 4.1 OC on my 3570k helped a lot with watch dogs frame drops.

ILikeLSUToo,

This may not be the place for it but I wanted to get your advise since you had this mobo and processor before and had it cranked up.

The motherboard and processor I bought from you are working great. The computer is running FSX with great frame rates. I decided to move forward and overclock and have been reading up it and found a video on YouTube with the same motherboard and processor to use as a reference. I tried to overclock this past weekend and apparently didn't do something right because when I ran the stress test it got too hot so I shut it down and returned all the settings back to the normal setting.

So now that I am back to square one how should I go about doing this correctly. I am at work now so I don't have the values I used but wanted to see if you had anything you help with as far as where to start. I have read multiple websites about this but don't want to do it wrong and end up having to buy new parts. Thanks

I will have to go back and get that info when I get home. I'll get back to you on it.

I do know the cooler is the cooler master hyper 212 evo

Sorry for dropping out on you bruf

I don't even remember sending thermal paste. What did I send?

Depending on what you report with temps and overclock settings, we might need to discuss the mounting of the cooler and application of thermal paste. You should be able to hit 4.5GHz easy without throttling/shutdowns, even if you have to put 1.3+ vcore on it.

For games using 4 cores and you don't have any virtual cores, you should OC to 4.3. The added IPC should help you out.

What are your frames with the 3570K/770 in Watch_Dogs?

I can lock 60fps with everything on high, but AA has to stay to low on SMAA. If not my little 3GB cards with start to hit the cap. I'm staying around 2.95 during the day and 2.85 at night in Watch_Dogs. Its really upsetting because no game comes close to this, unless I run mods.

Now about the game Watch_Dogs, it is fun at times and im interested in the story but, they BREAK UP your interest making you jump all over the city while doing the same shtt. The game is about going to each outpost(FC3) and repeating the process of killing for the most part.

I would love the game and probably already be finished if it wasn't for the breaks in combat/campaign. Only on Act III / 2 right now.

Gardoki I got a nVidia Shield off eBay for $118. Excited to try this thing out, really interested how it does outside my LAN.
