At 720p it will do fine at medium / high.

If your on Windows 10 the likely issue is due to the removal of Safedisc DRM drivers from Windows. they were buggy and a security vulnerability and Microsoft finally brought the hammer down. meaning...

if you mean you pulled the metal top of a HDD yes its shot. If the seal is broken the drive will not function properly and thus = dead drive.

The only physical HDD fix someone can reliably do is...

PM me or start a new thread when you get back from Europe. Any prices or part lists we do today would be worthless when the time comes. I build custom systems for a living and review hardware as...

Skylake over Haswell will be a minor upgrade however initial reports have Skylake overclocking FAR better and having much lower temps. So worth while in that regard. Truth will come out soon enough.

Should CA Optimize their game? Yes
Should CA Optimize their game by lowering settings across the board? No

How does CA Optimize their game? By picking option number 2

Direct X 12 going forward...

Like I said Direct X 12 would greatly benefit Total War series however its unlikely CA will implement it anytime soon.

Well spend $650 run a big battle and zoom in. See what happens.

I run multiple systems with a heavily overclocked 780 graphically at 1080p I can easily max the game. My issue is CPU wise even with...

Not in that situation it isnt. The low frame rate is due to CPU and its exactly because of the mass blob of soldiers. All those animation / calculations / unit mass / action reaction.

So many...

Youll never get that stable with playable frame rates. CPU is limiting factor on unit count while a high end GPU helps the CPU is limiting factor in terms of playability once Melee starts due to the...

if you fail to post your system specs no ones going to bother to help you. Its like asking for help but not explaining what you need help with.

Example: if your CPU is some ancient Core 2 Quad or...

Sounds more like a windows issue. Easiest way to find out pop GPU in another system. Or reinstall windows. Normally in a software is botched and not working situation re-installing windows over the...

Sigh most of the people :wub: the frame rate drops tend to be CPU related not so much GPU related. THis has been hammered home in other threads many times. Should CA adapt the game engine for DX12...

You will have awesome performance the 96o just isnt worth it it = GTX 680 / GTX 770 performance aka High End - Mid High End - Mid Range, its dropped a long ways performance wise it also means...

it has 3.5GB Vram buffer + slower 512mb buffer it wont impact performance in any way you will actually notice. Basically it was a bunch of people :wub: about a whole lot of nothing.

Look used Ebay / Craigslist / Reddit etc just cause something is used doesn't mean its not good, You can also try open box / refurbished items via reputable retailers.

Reddit has a UK and EU based...

Try and save up for a GTX 970 or grab a cheap GTX 780.

While the 128bit bus on the 960 is somewhat alleviated due to compression tech ( AMD has the same tech mind you just different name) with...

IF you built a new system but didnt reinstall windows that would be your problem. Seen people take the same HDD and drag it over it does tend to work but performance issues and weird things happen....

CRYORIG H7 Universal performs better than the U12S while being half the cost. offers better memory and socket clearance. If you register the COoler with Cryorig is gets a 6 year warranty.
...

thats normal Intels CPUs are safe up into he 90'C range. They have over temp protection built in at that point where the CPU will downclock to stay within its thermal design.

1) By changing all that stuff out you borked windows. If moving from one platform to the next you need to remove old drivers even then performance will suffer. Fresh install is the only way to make...

Part 1: Yes that is correct. Your Phenom II CPU is now considered MINIMUM Requirement. AKA when you built your system Pentium 4 were still the defacto MINIMUM CPU required. Right now the Phenom II...

You will need a new system.

UEFI PCIE 3.0 etc are requirements in some cases.

Essentially newer GPUs may not work in PCIe 1.0 /1.1 sometimes they are finicky if UEFI bios are not available...

GPu upgrade will work. I just dont think you realize how much that Phenom II limits performance of the New hardware.

Upgrading a PC is fine. THe problem is you choose a dead end socket / board and...

Depends on the CX the CX600 should be fine. Its a Channel Well DSAII Platform unit not special but solid. Used around 30-40 of them and about 25-30 CX430w units all of which have been rock solid....

R9 is not newer the R9 280x is a rebranded 7970 GHz edition which is just a faster 7970 while the R9 280 is basically a 7950 Boost Edition which is just a faster 7950. Its old tech.

New AMD GPUs...

IKf your going to get an SSD get a 256 gb or dont bother. Smaller SSDs now use less NAND chips = Less channels = :wub: speeds. Also from a cost standpoint they make little sense.

just get a Swiftech PWM 8 way splitter. It uses a Sata power connector to power the fans and uses a PWM signal from the motherboard to set fan speeds.
...

Just gonna leave this here. http://gpushack.com Great way to get a GPU for alot less without sacrificing warranty.

Win XP is dead as a doornail extra Ram will be worthless.

Even with Large Address aware, with a GPU installed the most your likely to be able to use is 3.5gb of RAM. withg 512mb for the GPU. the...

OCZ is hanging on because they got bought out. OCZ is no longer OCZ they owned by Toshiba which happen to make the fastest consumer SSDs available when you can find them.

I use a Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 512gb got it for $300 on sale, had it for about 2 years now no issues no hiccups no reallocated cells rock solid. My Adata 120gb is going on 4 years old still rock...

OCZ SSD = be prepared for serious :wub:.

Cryorig H7 Universal,

clears the memory slots and is only 145mm tall the Hyper 212 Evo is 159mm tall.

The H7 performs better than the EVO costs the same and has...

you can also play old games here no emulator required

Theres no emulator for Xbox,

from arcade to PS2 / Wii / Gamecube is the cut off.

Xbox / Xbox 360 / PS3 etc do not have emulators yet and the ones that exist are more of a it can be done but...

pretty much anything prebuilt for gaming will be :wub:.

yea but i dont want the most powerful offensive weapon relegated to useless ness I hardly ever need to defend castles. My point is playing as Otomo with Portugese tericos they are good units but due...

Ive noticed Teppo / Matchlock units never fire at an enemy as they approach they just sit there twiddling their thumbs. As you can guess this is ridiculous when an enemy general charges straight at...
