Damn it Feld, I was just about to make another post asking people for comp specs >:P

 

Alright, here's mine. It's a school laptop, the laptops that were distributed for the Year 8s (High School starts @ Yr8 here) in 2014 for the entire state.

 

V7_V5_Polaris_gray_nontouch-photo-galler

It looks almost like that, but just imagine it a bit more worn. It's a Acer Aspire V5-473-54204G12tii, but instead of the usual 4GB RAM, the school decided to add another 2GB in as well. And the stats from the website (linked below) =>

 

 

 

  • Core i5-4200U(1.60GHz, 2.60GHz Turbo), 14"HD LED, 4GB-RAM, 120GB-SSD, NO ODD, Intel HD 4400, WiFi-n, Bluetooth, Webcam, USB3.0, Windows 8

 

And about the CPU, it has 4 Logic Processors, but it's a duo core. I'm a web developer and sometimes I work on art, that means I would need to use up a fair bit of data. But unfortunately, I only have 61GB to work with when I receive the laptop, so most of the work is stored in a very old external Harddrive. In fact, it was even manufactured in the late 90s! (September the 6th, 1998. To be exact. FYI, it's a 300GB Toshiba HDD :P)

 

But currently, I'm building my first ever desktop using parts from my friends locally (and "internationally". Thanks to the help of one forum member, of which I wouldn't include the name ^_^). So instead of paying $AUD2.5k for this build, I'll be only having to save up $300~400 to get the: screen, storage, PSU and an optical drive.

 

Still, I feel like this computer is a rip off. Acer gave us these laptops and they knew that it was faulty. My laptop had to get the motherboard replace numerous times, the first time being the last week of school last year. Approximately one year since I first booted the system up. And then, from June ~ August (only last week), I had my computer wiped (reverted to school image) twice, motherboard replaced twice, LCD replaced, computer fan replaced, and the cables inside the PC fixed as well. It has been a hectic two months with this laptop. I've only got it back on Monday this week :)

 

The school do give you replacement laptops while the original one is getting fixed, hot swaps are awesome :D

Still, I have used it on and off since June. And just to note, you'll get a hot swap with the same model to the one that you get in your year level. So I my hot swap is a 2014 laptop, not the ones they year 8s get this year. (Which has 400MHz lower CPU speed and even less disk space, 40GB...)

 

Opps, did I rant about how crap my laptop is again. Sorry :P

 

All the stats of school laptop here. (The laptop costed a fortune, but it does have the Adobe Master Collection on it :3)

 

Acer Aspire V5-473-54204G12tii w/ Adobe Master Collection (CS6) costed my mum $1600, plus $300 3-year warranty.

 

(Also, school internet speeds.... Average speed is either -100Kbps or 350Kbps. Very rarely (for 3 min every week) I would get speeds of 2Mbps. And the school is upgrading the internet infrastructure next year, at the cost of 1 bucking million tax-payer dollars D:)

 

If you're reading this, I applaud you for staying with me through this rant. Here, just imagine someone catapulting a Acer laptop into the air and then smashing it when it comes back down (I saw the gif on Imgur a few weeks ago, but forgot to bookmark it :|)

Dual GTX 980's 4GBs a piece

Intel® Core i7-2600k CPU @3.40GHz

8.00 GB RAM (7.98 GB usable)

BenQ RL2755HM 27" 1ms LED-LCD Gaming Monitor 1920x1080, 60Hz

Windows 7 Home Premium

Gigabyte Z68X-UD3R-B3 Motherboard

 

GTA V runs at like 30-40FPS on my rig, sometimes it would drop to 20FPS depending on what's going on. Any suggestions on how to get the game running at 60FPS 1080p? do I overclock or do I have to replace something that's in my rig?

I've got a Toshiba Satellite S55-C. It runs Windows 10 (64 bit).

Specs:

  • 12 GB of RAM
  • Intel Core i7-5500U  CPU (2.4 GHz, dual core)
  • 1 TB disk space

Of course, it's a a laptop, so I didn't build it. I couldn't find any more specs on it.

Hmm, you could try overclocking the processor (just make sure you have an aftermarket CPU cooler) but even then those FPS numbers seem extremely low for that kind of setup. Try updating the graphics drivers.

I have a mid-2011 iMac :) It's running Yosemite. El Capitan doesn't really have anything I want and I don't want to install it in case it slows my Mac down.

 

https://support.apple.com/kb/SP623?locale=en_US (I have the basic model)

 

It's not ground-breaking spec wise but it still does what I want it to do :) The Sims 4 runs fine if you lower the graphic settings a tad. I want to upgrade the ram soon.

I've got an entirely outspecced 15" Macbook Pro Retina 2015 or whatever.

I figured that if I was going to spend a decent amount of money on a laptop, I might as well go the extra mile.

 

-2.8 GHz i7 (Turbo Boost up to 4 GHz.)

-1 TB PCIe-based Flash Storage (Which is pretty speedy :D )

-16 GB RAM (Windows doesn't seem to be able to use it properly though.)

-AMD Radeon R9 M370X (Which is alright.)

 

I do kind of regret it, though.

It looks amazing, and OSX runs like a dream.

The keyboard and especially trackpad are really nice as well...

 

But I have to use Windows most of the time, and Windows is terrible with resolutions that high. :/

I'd rather have gotten a "gaming" laptop or whatever, but ehh.

This is the first laptop I've bought that actually works decently well, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. >o<

 

Plus, knowing Apple, I'm fairly certain this lappie will get updates for another 5-10 years, so in the long run it might've been a good investment ^^'

A decent computer... in 2011.

 

I have a Geforce GT 620-630, I'm not sure which.

 

Which means it's ok in Source, but crap everywhere else.
