I'm running windows 7, and im going from a phenom 965 to an i5 4760k, so prob safe to say i need clean slate? And will i need a new windows key for the install, or use my old one?

High chance that yes, you will need to reinstall. With such a huge change I would reinstall anyway.

With the key it will probably not activate, since it registers the key with the CPU ID. You can ring Microsoft and see what they can do.

It's usually not to difficult to move a copy of windows to another system. With Windows 8 it is extremely easy. You call, it provides you with an automated machines, you enter in a bunch of numbers on the screen and it activates your copy of windows. I've never done that with Windows 7 but I'd imagine it's also a fairly simply and straight forward process.

It's the same procedure, but when it detects that the key has been activated with another Chipet/CPU, then the activation is refused. You can then go through to an operator and if you say the right things, sometimes they allow it to activate again.

I dont get the parts for a day or so but Ill contact microsoft. THe thing is I dont know if i have an oem copy of 7 or not. I originally purchased the parts for the pc through ncix and I believe I bought a full retail copy, but I got them to build it for me at the time, and i don't remember receiving a full retail box, hopefully they didn't install an oem copy on it. But ill see what they can do, thanks for the help guys!

If you're running windows 8 I don't believe you need to reinstall anything, other than a few drivers.

I just swapped my mobo and CPU out and I didn't have to do any reinstalling other than an audio driver and then re-register windows with a new key they'll give you. Switching mobo's luckily no longer requires reinstalling windows (thank the universe).

Depends.

yep, I believe if you are switching between similar types of mobo's, reinstallation is not necessary. For example I upgraded from 1 AM3+ motherboard to another AM3+ motherboard and no reinstallation was required. However if I were to upgrade my AM3+ to a Socket 1155 mobo I would most likely have to reinstall windows.

It has mostly to do with the chipset and a few other factors. If the new mobo has the same chipset, then 99% of the time you won't need to reinstall Windows.

It has gotten A LOT better. With versions like Win95 and Win98, you just changed the RAM and sometimes it would blue screen and reinstall was needed. These days you have a much higher chance that Windows will just reboot and install the new drivers.

Even the demo IMO looks better than Forza 4. I can tell you for certainty however, that the driving physics are very far ahead of Forza 4 and GT5. I can't wait to try it with a wheel becasue its finally on a level that makes it feel similar to the real thing. Can't wait for the game now.

LOL, per release is the key. Microsoft first part stuios release what.. 3 good game franchises per generation with 2-3 games each... Sony's first party studios release atleast double that, probably more with sales not far behind xbox exclusives, There lies your answer.

God, who gives a sh*#. Such superficial nonsense, do people really think naughty dog are out to screw people over. Do yourself a favor and play the game, and stop concering yourself with such meaningless dribble.

[QUOTE="dramaybaz"]You deserve it for trying to gank around orgri. jk Those fps dips are due to the CPU, you'' need a relatively modern CPU to not experience fps dips in populated areas. As for the artefacts, it is hard to tell. And I won't use the draw distance as an example.

haha ya probably. And I thought it was the CPU wasn't sure though, looks like i need to upgrade. Yea its hard to tell from the pics. In game its pretty noticeable, they look like their waaay of in the distance when you pan around with the camera and see them through the ground, same goes for the black ones in the mountains. It's fairly strange, pretty annoying, hopefully one of my cards isn't crapping the bed.

SO ive had this problem for quite a while now. My system: crossfire 5850's, AMD 965 black series CPU, 4 gigs of ram. These graphical glitches are always present in any games i play. They are a bit difficult to see in the pictures but the second picture you can see the black stuff in the fogy mountain center, off in the distance. That appears as white fuzz all oer the ground, not very noticeable however, its still annoying. I only get around 40 fps in wow with dips down to 20 and lower sometimes which seems a little strange. And my drives are up to date, even though though this problem has been present through all of the catalyst updates for around a year or so now. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

 

IF you look closely you can see the white graphical glitches on the ground in the shadows

I imagine it will also be realesed on next-gen, they would be foolish not to release their most popular game on the new consoles, even though It will probably be delayed. And to those brushing aside Gran-Turismo, give your head a shake. The two best-selling games on the PS3 are Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Tusimo 5 Prologue, by a large margin. Sure, Gran Turismo 5 had its problems, however, in terms of driving experience on consoles, it's still #1.
