New PC and vid card.
« on: April 09, 2010, 05:17:43 PM »
 New PC isn't real fast next to most these days but it's twice as fast as my old one and it has a nice shiny new Radeon HD 5770 in it.. I CAN SEEEEE!!!!    last night I got online and for the first time could max out all graphics and not have the FR move more than a # or 2.  Flew a single JU-88 over a V base and level bombed some poor sap's Wirble from 10K just because I could...  Never could see GV's from that alt before. :D    I used to have to run around on the deck looking for GV's like a hog looking for a truffle. 

  Ahhhh the fun I will have now.
Bringing peace to the MA's 1 explody thingy at a time! :)

5750 is a good card for the $ as well.  Congrats on the new rig.  It's like playing an entirely new game.

I bought a new computer, I went from a HP DV9000 to a HP G71.  I thought new computer, better graphics, NOT at all.  I know little to nothing about computers, I just thought it is newer it is better.  WRONG.  Congrats Flayed, i will be getting a new one soon, I hope.

Because it is a notebook, mainly. Unless you get a more gamer or studio style specific notebook, chances are it will have integrated graphics. If you are looking into a 'new one', build your own desktop.

I feel the exact same way.

Flayed is pretty handy with PC's. He helped throw mine together a short while ago. Runs like a champ.
