New Desktop Help <3

Posted by United Kingdom renzo on 2009-06-30 17:44:20
Jo, I am wanting to know what desktop wouldn't lag like a mother when theres smoke in COD4.
At the moment, I am using a Samsung R710. The second the smoke goes up, I drop around 50 FPS.

Any suggestions? I have a budget of up to £750

Prices have been falling at such a fast rate where ATi is concerned. I bought my 4770 for £82 in May. If I waited a month, could have got a 4870 for 20 quid more. :( Can't really plan for these things though lol, and at the time the 4870 was still pricey. Cheap as chips now.

Still better than my old 3850 though. :D

Actually use his setup, but sub the mobo out and go for something cheaper (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-125-GI&tool=3) and use the money saved to get a better cpu like the E8400, then ur sorted. :D

Is the E8400 really better than the Q9550?

I think it depends. An E8400 OC'd to atleast 3.4GHz would probably be sufficient for gaming, so it just comes down to whatevs cheapest.

Not sure if there would be any major difference in a game, wouldn't have thought so. Personally at this stage I'd be tempted to grab a quad, as more games and apps will be optimised for quads in the next year or so.

www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-254513_10_0.html - IDK if that's a help at all.

Oh, and one more thing; Would I have to tatoo my HDD?
Because the last PC I built I had to, and it was a very long, and annoying process :(

You must of missed the post ...

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-120-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1403


or if you can get two 260's for £90 and put them in SLI would be pretty cool :/

Would the ATi still lock 250FPS?

If you look at the stock speeds of it I think (can't remember) it's the same as a saphire 4890, and it should also be on warranty so if it breaks or anything you can return it.

Saphire 4890 is £10 (or so) more than the unbranded one

Saphire one has extra year on warranty and also includes:

- CrossFire Bridge Chip
- 6 Pin to 4 Pin Power Adaptor
- DVI to VGA Adaptor
- DVI to HDMI Adaptor
- HDTV Component Adaptor
- FutureMark 3DMark Vantage Advanced Edition
- Cyberlink Power DVD 7
- Cyberlink DVD Suite
- Sapphire/ ATi Metallic Case Badge

I still like the sound of this one:
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-106-GW

I watched a review on TigerDirectBlog and it reaches 100FPS in 1920x1200 res.

Compare the 4890 and the 285 and tbh the 285 is way overpriced, 4890 wins.

The 4890 will get you 250fps easy if paired with a good cpu. No need to spend more on a GTX285 when the 4890 gets the job done for much less. :)

Will probably get 250 on pretty high settings. The benchmarks are usually done in single player, which eats at your fps compared to promod. So whatever it gets in the benchmarks you can add another 50% or so on for a promod server.

I still say you would be better off with a 4890. It's not as good as the 285, but it's a whole lot cheaper. :) Depends if you have money to burn tho.

By the way, add this in as your mouse www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-060-LG

_____________

Or you can go i7:

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-003-OB
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-120-OK
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-246-WD
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-023-OC
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-117-LG
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-107-CL
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-160-CM
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-060-LG
www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-039-OT

Actually turns out £7 cheaper than your setup. :P The i7 would probably perform better on applications, but gaming I'm not sure haven't seen any proper benchmarks. Was bored so I just put a quick one together. :D

I don't think the price will be a problem at the moment, I'm one lucky biatch :)
I think I'll go for the i7 you just posted =D Just gotta wait a few weeks :(

Thanks for all your help :)
