New project, parts arriving this morning!

[siravarice]

So CoD 6 was running at 91 FPS all the time. I'm assuming that Fraps can't measure any higher?

 

[siravarice]

Around 28-35 FPS in Crysis. All high settings 1650x1050 and 2xAA

 

[I Hunta x]

fraps can do upwards of 500 (counter strike menu)

 

[siravarice]

Well 91FPS constantly, it didn't change at all during the ten minutes I played lol. I got 2400 FPS on the Crysis loading screen though XD

 

[I Hunta x]

you could enable the ingame info counter/display (shows fps/ping/other crap) via console if it has one, i know css, tf2 and others have them

 

[AMDFTW]

91fps is still very good fella what about MW2

 

[Runebeard]

Aye, when you take into account that's your GTX260 (which is along the same power as an 8800GTX if I remember rightly) You're getting more than decent performance for sure and ~30FPS in Crysis on High settings, you can really see the i7 doing its bit. Nice work

 

[siravarice]

Yeah, I used to get these FPS with my Dual Core and Quad Core...

 

[Runebeard]

REALLY? That is strange... with just a dual core and gtx260 I'd have have expected lower tbh. Should do much better overall tho, once you get to test it out it a bit more.

 

[Steve-O-]

A 260 is about twice the power of a 8800GTX... Even in SLi the 8800GTX can't match the performance.

Rig parts look good man. I was wondering about performance wise how something like that would fair, I get the same FPS in crysis at 1920x1080 on gamer settings with some AA. Guess you need a GPU upgrade now.

CoDWaW is locked at 91FPS. You can change that by putting this in the console (~): /com set_maxFPS 125

That will give you 125 FPS max.

I never knew that Steve! I may try it! I was going to buy the Graphics card first, but I don't play Crysis so I figured I would wait for either something better or the prices to go down. Looking to get a 480 but I think it might contribute too much heat to my watercooling rig (when I get that too lol).

 

[I Hunta x]

a tripple rad will handle your 930 and 480 fine, its if you wanted to put 2 in that it would start causing trouble.

 

[Chi]

how much did ur leatehrman wave cost? where u get it? tempting...

awsome build

 

[siravarice]

I think it was £80

 

[AMDFTW]

would a triple rad be ok for 2 480's?

and then a duel for the CPU?

 

[siravarice]

Not sure, when I want to I can always go crazy with the rads. Or just install a second loop.

 

[AMDFTW]

i guess so fella,man i miss my 260 it was a epic card

 

[siravarice]

Yeah it is lol. It's quite heavily overclocked from old factory settings. It's the dogs nuts really. SUCH a good buy.

 

[Steve-O-]

I compare my 260s (the core 216 model) to the Ti4200. Some of the best bang for the buck cards in the GeForce series imo.

 

[I Hunta x]

2 should get around 75C load at very highest i would have thought on tripple, no way it would be getting any were near the 100c the stock cooler gets and silences them aswell, 'trubritar' on youtube has just done a review on the new koolance 480 block and at 825 core clock (his OC) a single was maxing out at 53c on a tripple(im pretty sure thats what he uses in his reviews), 752 core (FTW edition) was 48c and 725 core (Superclock) was 47c
