PC UPGRADES? WHO, WHAT, and How Much EST.


Recommended Posts

I was just wanting to get an Idea of what type of systems you all have, just for an idea for my next upgrade. So if you would all please post some of your System specs like,

 

1.CPU (speed & Socket)

2.GPU (VideoCard)(AGP-PCIE)

3.RAM

4.Hard Drives (Sata-or what so)

 

5. FPS (In Cockpit looking strait out on the ground)

6. AVG FPS IN say a Hyperlobby server with as many players as possible

 

I want to get an overall idea to see what will be my next big jump

but dont want to spend alot!!!

 

Thanks

1. AMD athlon64 3500 venice (Asrock 939 dual SATA II mobo [has agp and PCIe slots btw])

2. PCIe XFX 6800GS

3. 1gb Corsair value RAM

4. 80gb SATA primary 120gb IDE Secondary

5. check this thread for screenies and links to screenies on my system:

http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=13934

 

6. I don't play multi...

 

I think I struck a good balance between price and performance, and since I built mine 4 months ago the CPU price has come down. I got everything from newegg.com you can check pricing there.

 

Good Luck!

Intell P4 HT @ 3.06 Ghz XPw/SP2

1024MB 2700 Dual-channel SDRAM

Sapphire x800 XT (Platinum Edition):AGP

120g 7200 rpm

Soundblaster live! 5.1

 

I'd like to replace the memory with 2 gigs of faster memory.. I wonder if that makes any difference... It runs good now, mostly.

1: 2 GHz Pentium 4 (btw, I accidentally misspelled it as Pantium, it sounds about right with the punishment Lock-On deals out to it), Socket 478

2: ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128 Mb AGP

3: 512 Mb RDRAM PC2700 (2x 256)

4: Two IDE-drives. :p

5: Depending on the mission, anywhere between 5 and 35. I've been everywhere between 3 and 62 FPS, actually. It all depends on the mission, but is generally playable.

6: No online play for me. You buggers always kick my ass halfway across the Milky Way and back.

1. cpu amd 4800dualcore socket 939

2. 2 xfx 7800gtx sli 256mb versions pci-e

3. 2 gig corsair ull ddr3200 4x 512 2-2-2-5

4. 2 250 gig satas raid 0, 2 mixed sized patas for storage.

5. u tell me as it changes from day to day

6. avent played HL for ages, tend to keep to the private servers ;)

7. sound card is x-fi fatal1ty with xram :)

 

you should include the soundcard as compared to onboard, you can get an increase of 30%+ fps with a dedicated soundcard instead of onboard.

 

I Spent £3000 on mine which is kinda too much. but if you were to build it yourself then you can get it cheaper than what i got mine for with slightly higher specs of fx60 and dual 78s 512s

 

bulldog teh h4x with the leet overclockable opty, HAX :)

AMD XP64 3700+

 

ATI Radeon X800XL

 

1024Mb DDR400 RAM

 

200Gb Maxtor SATA HDD

 

 

FPS varies hugely. I'm running Su33 campaigns on high water and high scenes with 25FPS on crowded airfields - if I was to go fly the Su25T over Sevastopol with those settings, the FPS would probably drop down to 15 or less.

 

At this point I think I'd need more GPU power to get much better performance.

na bgp, i dont think its more gpu power you need, i just think its more cpu power, as my 6800gt is the same as my 78s basically, after you reach a certain point in vid card power it doesnt really matter how much higher you go, it all boils down to the cpu, well thats what i found anyway.

 

Your 800xl should be more than sufficient power, no shit dude...

See sig below, If I was to upgrade anything in it would be to add another GIG if ram. If I had more cash I would get a sapphire X800XL AGP and a second hard drive. That would work excelent for me. :)

A 7800GS AGP would be better,( short of having to go all out for PCIe), at around 300Euro.

 

I have the exact same mobo and cpu as you, I'm stuck on the AGP path aswell untill I get some cash to upgrade my whole system, but my 6800GT gets me by ok, for now.

ATI's card is 206 € right now, and I would hardly tell the difference in LOMAC and saved me 100€. Changing MOBO would require me to change everything but the hard drive, better off with a totaly new PC. I realy miss the upgradeability of older sytems had.

pilotasso, if you are serious about upgradeing, buy a new 939 cpu and also a asus asrock nf4 dual mobo which has agp and pci-e vid card ports on it ( the only mobo to have agp and pci-e), so it will allow you to keep everything except the cpu. and when you finished with your old agp vid card, you can upgrade to pci-e without having to buy a whole new mobo and other stuff.

 

real good mobo aswell and dirt cheap

Right now I cant upgrade anything. Maybe in a couple of months will get another GIG of memory but thats it. If I had some extra cash I would get ATI's card and another drive. But beyond that it would be a completely new PC. I do this because it has to be budget freindly. I must keep the CPU for now. the others are still very expensive and I realy better of with this one than getting a new one only slightly fatser than this (2.2GHZ)

 

I usulay upgrade GFX 2 years or the whole PC every 3 years. SO this one is still here to last at least another year.

P4 3.2 Ghz

2 Gig generic RAM

1 x 20Gig IDE drive (C:)

1 x 120Gb IDE drive (video)

1 x 120Gb SATA drive (games)

6600GT

 

FPS - How long is a piece of string?, but mostly perfectly OK - only dodgy when there's s lot going on over a big city (CPU)

Cheers.
