I just love my new comp!

It's not beast but I am amazed at it's performance Smile

I've played AvP for 90 min (the thing finally dl'ed -.- 14 GB!! on a 1 MBit/s is a killer), and I expected that the gfx card will be damn hot. I look @ GPU-Z and the temp is 59°C! And I played on dx11 on very high @1680x1050.

Finally I have sth that is worth something.

And photoshop loading times is few sec. Not to mention I can finally watch blue ray grinhurt

Just had to share my happiness atm... While it lasts Very Happy Because when uni starts I recon the mood will drop exponentially grinhurt

AMD Athlon II X3 435 @ stock speed (2.9 GHz)
ASRock M3A770DE
4GB DDR3 Corsair 2x CM3X2G1333C9 (1333MHz)
XFX ATI Radeon HD5770 1GB

Well Metro 2033 ran perfectly too only on high not very high on dx11.


But the point is I haven't had decent comp for 5 yrs! And now I'm really happy I have one. Oh the endless possibilities grinhurt

Don't let the OCD geeks get to you, I had my 8800GT since 2008 and games still perform on it great, and I think it won't change until the current gen consoles die, I'm not particularly interested in having no less than 200FPS in crysis. anything beyond 30 FPS is good enough for me, and I can still play recent games on 1920x1080 smoothly

technically buying a pc so that you can play on a 'real' gaming system instead of a console IS an investment.. to your ability to remain a MAN dammit.

Yeah I do Very Happy

I'm not using my PC only for gaming Laughing I think that I'll benefit from better computing power, especially for my uni usage ^^

I know what you're talking about, I'm almost in the same condition as you Crying or Very sad

Though I always try to reserve a huge part of my free time to gaming Razz
