  1.  

    And now nVIDIA fully discloses the actual 970 spec.

     

    http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-Discloses-Full-Memory-Structure-and-Limitations-GTX-970

     

    As it turns out, they lied about how much L2 cache and ROPs it has. It actually has less L2 cache (1792KB) and ROPs (56) than the 980 (2048KB L2 cache and 64 ROPs). Wow, nVIDIA, lying about the specifications of one of your GPUs to make it seem better.

    It still fast as hell. so really idc this card is pretty dope.

    Is it actually the case that they lied about the specs, or is this a driver/software issue causing the problem? If not all cards are having the problem, then I wouldn't say they're lying about anything... there's probably some unexpected issue underneath all of this.

    Turns out its more of a firmware or bios issue than anything as openGL games are not affected by this issue. Besides I cant make it use 3.5 gb of Vram in my Uber modded realvision ENB skyrim with 4k textures rendered at 1440p. So unless you do play at 4k thats the only time you'll run into the issue. Besides, in all reality if you're going to play at 4k you're going to be using something more like a pair of SLI 980's. It's still shitty that Nvidia lied to us but its really less of an issue than people are making it out to be.

  2. I was going to stop posting here with that post, you know! =P

     

    Recently I ordered a new PC to be able to run The Sims 3 plus all Expansion Packs so I thought it was appropriate to post the specs here, and that's how the conversation above got started. =/

    Ahh I see. Fair enough then. 

  3. I refuse to mess with emulators. They're illegal, and I'm not cool with that.

     

    You seem far too dead-set on selling PC gaming to me. So far that you suggest I illegally play console games on the PC. Just stop it, please. This conversation is clogging up your "PC gaming master race" topic for absolutely no reason. PC gaming is not for everyone. Let it go.

    If you don't care for pcgaming why in the name of GabeN are you in the thread?

  4. I've been interested in joining the master race, but I don't have a lot of money (not even enough for parts, I don't have a job yet) and my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite. If it breaks, I'll ask for a more gaming suited desktop (Alienware or Asus, maybe?) My laptop has such bad lag, I only have FNAF demo, Amnesia Demo, and Slender, and they play on my laptop like Internet Explorer loads: Not well. I just booted up FNAF demo, and I was sitting there for a good minute with nothing happening while it tried to load.

    Build your own. I cannot stress this enough. All it is, is adult legos you don't need to be a super computer genius to do it. just Of Somewhat sound mind with common sense and decent problem solving skills. Theres no need to pay out the ass for someone else to build acomputer for you.

  6. I know where what goes, it's just that I'm kind of afraid I'll overwork the CPU, unless it doesn't go higher or it stops overclocking at a certain point.

    Dont worry about that. The 4th gen i5/ i7 is so stable that you can easily OC it to 4.2-4.3 ghz without needing to touch the cpu voltage. Even if you don't want to overclock now It's better to get the K part because you might want to overclock in the future.

  7. I'm going to build something on a lower budget, and this was a build suggested to me a while back(I'll probably get a $20 case and put that $40 into a better GPU, and possibly step down to a 1.5TB HDD and put that money into a Blu-Ray drive)

    Bro Unless you edit videos and stuff like me ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS spend more money on your gpu than on your cpu in like a 2:1 ratio

    noww.. Im sure you're thinking "but hes already been here a long time..." 

    My leave was not that of choice, but a tale of a lost set of passwords.

    I had lost the password to this account and the E-mail associated with this account.

    I had gotten it a few times saved it in my browser but erasing gigabytes of browsing history erased the password. Now I've made sure to put my password in a note file and put it on my flash drive.

    Naturally, this fine evening I decided to take a crack at my log in. Needless to say I figured it out. 

    Anyways I'm happy to be back

  11. So, im officially recovered from Rock im Park. I don't feel like typing a lot so I'll make the list of shows I went to and such.

     

    Opening day- 

    Metallica who put on a mighty good two hour set. too crowded to get past the 4th row or so though. So i just went ham in the pit.

     

    Avenged sevenfold played their standard set that runs through all their albums. Much moshing was had

     

    Day Two- 

    Lonely the brave. meh

    Battlecross was badass got a setlist and they paled a pretty badass cover of fucking hostile.

    Coldrain was good plenty of circle pits.

    Left for a while got back just barely got in the crowd at Suicide Silence when their set ended so i was pissed and left for a few hours.

    Mastodon played a lot of their new album and a few songs from Leviathan, Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye 

    Anthrax was meh never been a huge fan. worth the visit tho.

     

    Day Three-

    First show I went to was The Pretty Reckless. Not bad Would see them again if I was offered tickets.

    Kvelertak was after lunch It was awesome. I Moshed so hard I broke my nose in the pit somehow. People saw my bloody nose offered me tissues i used them until some kind lady offered me a tampon which i promptly shoved in my noseand that allowed me to get back into the pit.

    I git drug to fall out boy by my girlfriend and they played what they called ''mosh music''. While I could clearly hear Opeth and then Heaven Shall Burn in the background. needless to say i missed both of them and was annoyed.

    Slayer!!!!!! was fucking awesome the pit was awesome they got the crowd worked up. It was flat out awesome. They played all the songs i was hoping for so yeah...

    Rob zombie knows hot to get a crowd going. I went ham during dragula and then went to linkin park.

    Linkin Park was as you'd expect. A lot of bass and leds

     

    Day Four- 

    Got my nose checked out at the med tent while Black Stone Cherry played they made sure it was straight and told me it was broken and not to worry about it and ice it when it swells.

    Trivium was awesome they played exactly what i hoped they would which was plenty of Ascendency and Shogun. The moshing was great and the pit was veeery fucking large.

    I took a much needed break in the shade while my gf went to Falling in Reverse got food and chilled. 

    Crazy town was good i had fun but was stuck in the stands and was half asleep through them and seether.

    took another food break and went to the main stage na hour early so i could get up front for IRON FUCKING MAIDEN!!!

    Iron maiden was the fucking shit Good pits everything you'd expect from a three hour headlining set from them. Except some dumb bitch kept getting pissed at people when she got run into when she was standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE PIT! So naturally I told her to go fuck right off until her cocksnot boyfreind decided he wanted to party. I just pulled him into the pit. Everyone moshing was sick of their shit so they raked him over the coals and we didn't see any more of them. On the slower songs all the guys with long hair stayed in the back of the pit and headbanged while people walked by and took pictures. pretty fucking awesome. I crowd surfed during the end of the show and ran back to where i was to keep going ham. 

    Show ended we all left and I got hammered 

     

    Thats the end of story time kiddies.
