still waiting for 10nm architecture edition
Space heater reporting in.
r8 and ejacul8
Im very cookie cutter
Question, I overcloacked cpu to 4.1 but speccy still says its 3.4
Did I do something wrong or how do I make sure its overclocked
Should I buy a 1080?
Cant play everything on ultra 60fps anymore and I want a 1080 for that sweet 4K DSR
>he bought a titan
How dumb can you be?
Speccy doesn't show the oc there, but if you check the CPU tab on the left you'll see your actual clock speeds.
What you should do is get an actual 4K monitor, they're not even expensive nowadays.
2500k is still strong.
speccy doesn't show overclocks on the main page.
First top end rig I built, not a poorfag. originally wwas going to go for 2x r290 but they were sold out. So I bought the best gpu i could

>this computer was the shit in 2010
man time flies I wonder what shit will be like in another 7 years..
>nobody ever shows overclocks, GPU or CPU
>tfw if you bought an intel i5 in 2011, it would still be super great today
feels good
>overclocking
2017
Oh its x41 so thats good, I needed the bump or else Horizon 3 runs like crap, any other benefits to OC cpu or going higher other than epeen
Yeah, overclocking is for gays, right?
>What you should do is get an actual 4K monitor, they're not even expensive nowadays.
What is the average price for size these days?
Last I checked they were still too expensive for what they offer (in my opinion).
Horizon 3 will run way better if you had much faster ram, btw.
So aparently my motherboard is shit (z97 anniversary) and when I overclock my i5 4690k mildly (3,9ghz), when I stress test using prime 95 it just shuts down.
Should I even bother overclocking? What's the safest voltage increase point? My psu is good
you should be able to overclock just fine on z97
running at 4ghz
how long will a 2600k not be a bottleneck. would my rig bottleneck a 1080?
You shouldn't even need more voltage to hit 3.9.
Post your CPUZ info
Depends on what you're looking for, but honestly you can even get G-sync 4K monitors under the price of a 1080. You can get normal monitors for even cheaper.
It always baffles me how people are willing to get themselves a 1080 but then stick to the same old 1080p monitor they've been using forever.
...
At 4ghz it's already a slight bottleneck.
If you can reach 4.2, a 1070 is fine. A 1080 will bottleneck is some games noticeably.

This is the ram I have, is it really not fast enough?
My mobo didnt support DDR4
Don't do SLI guys
>At 4ghz it's already a slight bottleneck.
bottlenecking a 970?
>tfw grown attached to my 980ti and don't want to give it up
Don't. The 980ti will be relevant for at least another 2 years.
You never set your XMP profile in bios, friendo.
As you can see , your RAM is running at 665(1333)mhz. Not the 1200mhz that it should shot.
It's literally running at half speed. Just fixing that should give you better performance in Horizon due to how it uses RAM.
Sorry, no.
It would be a slight bottleneck for a 1070.
>Don't do SLI guys
SLI has been a joke for years, don't think anyone does anyone.
pls be gentle
The model of z97 I have turned out to be a shit tier mobo (the anniversary one)
I reverted everything to stock now because I really don't want to fuck up my CPU
Got like 2 extra coolers, too.
For some reason speccy motherboard's temp is stuck at 28. Which is annoying as fuck because now I have to boot hwinfo to check it.

>Thinks that's a toaster
Philistine! I'm using fucking DDR2 RAM with a Core 2 Quad Q6600.
Have a 7850, but it's acting up lately and is probably on deaths door..
why haven't you downloaded more ram
>look guize I overcucked by a slide
gee man, you deserve a medal
yeah i figured its probably a well suited card for the 970
maybe i'll upgrade my whole system when my 970 stops being satisfactory (hopefully can make it through this 'gen'
I deserve a metal for getting that shit-tier 2500k stable at only 1.352v.
Fucking thing wanted 1.4v for the same clocks when I started fucking with it.
>XMP profile in bios
Thanks for this advice
Ive been running it like this forever without knowing
By that logic, even a retard like you could overclock then, yeah?
too busy downloading bears
if fails add 0,005 voltage, restart
clap
I want to get a 4k screen, but am afraid the card won't be able to feed it.
>1080
>can't do 4k
u wot
consider educating yourself
Not that reliably.
See Dishonored 2, D:MD and such.
A 1080 could barely do 1080/60/max on those games on release, let alone 4k.
...
w-what does that mean
That's exactly why I'm hesitant to upgrade my monitor just yet.
I could get a 1440p screen, but then Volta/Vega 20 will come out and I'll want a 4k one anyway.
I don't need max settings, but I'm not willing to play at medium either.
>need to upgrade cpu
>in order to do that i need to upgrade mobo
>also need to upgrade gpu
>which probably would require a new psu
it serves me well. cant really play any new games on ultra but medium-low settings is 50ish fps. i really only play netplay on dolphin and witcher 3 anyway
You could get a 4790 though.
What PSU do you have?
>speccy thread
>doesn't post speccy
So what are my options if I want to upgrade my GPU but I play on a shitty old VGA only monitor and don't want to upgrade it? Don't feel like using my TV for PC since I also use it for work and that would be uncomfortable as fuck.
>radeon
It's a speccy I wrote myself. Pretty much speccy lite minus the temps, but with all relevant information.
I'd rather get a 144hz monitor
a friend of mine has one and it's beautiful
but y tho
practice?
>AMD
why do people do this to themselves
You idiots do realise a monitor will last you way longer than a GPU?
If you really need to max out your newest unoptimised extremely taxing AAA games you can still use whatever 1080p crap you were fine with previously.
500w thermaltake - it is 4 years old though
I'd rather have more screenspace honestly.
>jewvidia fanboys
Yeah, I always wanted to write such a utility program. The most important aspect is that it's not c#, just C++ and win32 API/WMI which amounts to the executable to be only 400KB.
I'm playing FF14 on this.
14-23fps
Who would have thought? user you must be a visionary.
just get more monitors
see
Jesus mang use some compressed air and blow that shit out. You'll get much better performance.
you bet your ass i am
my t420 runs up to 70c even with spotless heatsinks
sandy bridge is a hot fucker
nigger im pushing this thing through the limits right now.
Not even desu though I'm never coming back to AMD after I upgrade my GPU. The shitty drivers meme is way too real. Always knew their modern CPUs were trash, though.
neat
I've got a 480 and it's just fine
Jesus man, is that a laptop? That thing's going to blow up.
Gee user I think you missed the point of not having to throw away your old monitor upon getting a new one.
Is it a good idea to go from 8 to 16 gigs of ram, if i want to futureproof for 1080p gaming?
Or 8 gigs will be plenty enough even a few years down the road if i stay at this resolution?
>inb4 "ram is dirt cheap just buy it"
Recently it costs twice the amount what it was last year, and it just goes up and up..
...
VRAM is way more important.
ram hardly has any influence on gaming performance
it's nice having a fuckload of it though
i bought a second hand gtx 970 a year ago for a pretty good price, as i live in a shit tier country, im probably in the top 5% with that card. I cant afford a better one, but i guess it should be sufficient for hd gaming
Ram speed can be quite important if you're still on DDR3 tho
As long as it's not
...
what's with all the small and medium sized hard drives?
i do good enough
this shit is ECC, it's not the fastest
only good thing is that it's triple channel
Sucks for you
yes im on ddr3, atm running dual channel @1600
the price to buy the second kit is pretty high, but it goes up on a daily basis with 5 usd, so i feel like either i bite the bullet now, or just dont buy it at all in the forseeable future (wathing the price graph, it can be one and a half or two years before the price goes back to its original point)
>Titan X
>2 gb
It hurts.

Use ublock origin instead. Adblock literally lets companies slip ads through for a fee.
are you buying new ram?
if you are don't bother, ram is stupid cheap on ebay
they were collecting dust, so I put them to use. I'll be replacing them with larger drives later.
yes but with the shipping cost, its almost the same if i just buy it from the store here
