[QUOTE="theafiguy"]It's not about when you already have the computer on dude, gotta think about start up. The components require a large amount of power to start them up, so having that kind of ceiling is a very, very good idea. I would also recommend having massive amounts of overhead. I am using around 500W right now, but I have a 750W PSU, which leaves me plenty of room to add all kinds of doo-dads and knick-knacks into my computer. I would have to agree that 550W+ would be a good idea. If you were using a quad core, then I would think a 420 would be fine, but I've never calculated with an octocore processor before, so I imagine it needs more power.GTR12
Your computer in your sig doesn't need 750watt, a good 550watt is fine for yours.
Thank you Captain Obvious. I already said in my post that I am only using around 500W.
[QUOTE="theafiguy"]I just did the same update today and while the initial 80% or so went just normal, the last 20% took a painful 6 hours to complete.ispaans
can you tell me how those 2 HD 6850 perform in BF3? and what rez are you playing?
1920x1080, Ultra settings, AAx4, AFx8. Runs at a pretty decent 90 FPS, the lowest I found was 45 when there was a ton of smoke and explosions, and when nothing was happening and I was looking out into a relatively calm area of the game, I was grabbing around 130 FPS. I'm going to enable V-Sync and see how well it plays, but yea, it works pretty well.

The beginning of a year is never good for game releases, or at least it hasn't seemed like it has been in the past 3 or 4 years. Other than Mass Effect 3, you notice how there are no AAA titles that aren't expansions there?
Everyone is simply assuming that things can't change. Do all of you play nations to their historical accuracy? I sure don't. When I play as Sweden I also play around with Denmark for a long time and make them my fwend. Just because history says this happened doesn't necessarily mean that we can't have empire building games set in a WWII universe, especially if they started in 1929 - 1932.
