New System Build

[morfiend]

Ahh! Teleporting things! You know, you can only teleport dead things like video cards. Teleporting a living thing would kill it, at least momentarily. Would the teleported one only be an image of the original? Remember, even if the teleportation was done at light speed, there'd still be moments of non-existence even in distances on Earth...

  Sweet,that means for a monent I wouldnt have a worry in the world!  Cant wait....

Well since I have never bought a puppy off the internet not really worried about teleporting living things. If the teleporter didn't put it back together right that would be messy.  . Now a graphics card would be different.

Kool if I can ask where did you get your GTX-970 from? I am looking but Amazon, Newegg, and Tiger direct are out.

Noman, I ordered it from Amazon back on Sept. 22nd.  It was out of stock at the time but they said they would send me an update with an estimated time of delivery.  A day later they came up with Oct. 1st as being the delivery date.  The morning of Oct. 1st I was filled with anticipation. Oh joy, a new toy, I can't wait!  I got up early that morning, had a good breakfast, then read my email and barfed.  Amazon's update said their delivery changed to Oct. 7th.    So later that night, I prayed really really hard and low and behold it showed up on my door step the next day.    A miracle indeed!  Amazon most likely got a shippment later that day and even though I originally selected 2-4 day delivery they shipped it via FedEx overnight anyway.  Nice!

I am lucky I live basically right next to both amazon, newegg, nzxt  and madcatz (saitek).  almost everything  I order is over night as the airport ups, fedx and all the others use is 5 miles away .

I live in Indianapolis.  We get same day delivery from both Newegg and amazon.   If you order before 06:00 your item will be at your house before 15:00.   We can even do food items that way on amazon here and it cheaper then walmart.   crazy....    Wife ordered groceries on amazon food mart from work and they had them at the door by the time she got off work.  I ordered a Turtle Beach headset and it was at my door in 5 hours.   Now that was service!

Maybe tomorrow once you're finished and have run some games, report back with your opinion of it and how things are working.  I'll bet it's going to blow you away compared to your last system.

I'm very happy with how the new rig is running and it's a huge improvement over my old computer.  I had a chance to play AH a few times over the weekend and I'm very impressed.  Besides all the nice eye candy I get I can also see enemy dots in the distance a lot sooner now.  One of my squadies used to see dots before me, now I see them before him.  All the settings are now turned up to max and it's steady at 60fps 99% of the time.  The 1% when it wasn't I saw it drop for a split second.  The time I noticed this is when flying on the deck over a base in offline mode and the frame rate drop to 58.  It was only for a split second and then it was back up to 60fps and smooth again.  I haven't had time to figure out what setting may be causing this.  Maybe when I have more time I'll try to figure it out but to be honest it's barely noticeable.  Also, I haven't had a chance to try to repeat this in the MA but am curious to know if it would drop more at a busy base.  We'll see.  Anyway, AH is really the only game I'll be playing on this computer so I don't have any other games to report on, sorry.  I do dabble a bit in WOT on Xbox but don't get too serious about it.  The last time I played WOT on Xbox was back in August.  I could load WOT on this rig and but I'm not sure if that's the kind of test/report you're looking for.

I have a slower system than you and my fps drop to about 55 when in a cv fight with ack and dozens of cons around.  that is the true test.  I have no doubt that you will do fine.  I play with everything on shadows at 2096 and no em.  I still dont see the point of it, but it does suck up frames like crazy.
