It's HDMI input lag. Depending on your tv, you might have a "gaming mode" option somewhere...if not then what you can do is lower the picture settings, turn off any kind of motion blur used. You're basically disabling as many enhancements as possible to reduce input lag. Yes, the picture quality will look ugly, but it's what happens when you get an LCD TV. percech
It's HDMI input lag - What does than mean? HDMI many computer monitors also have, HDMI are a digital conector on a cable capable to sent atleast 1920*1080p proggressive scan up to atleast 10m, input lag has nothing with HDMI to do. What absolutely goes against your theory is that the TV was working fine for about 15minutes of gaming, it's not like the input lag suddenly got that much worse after 15min of playing. ;) nope, thats probably not the problem. LCD monitors are the same type in most monitors, the backlit wont change the performance being LED or whatever, samsungs brand new 55" AMOLED might make a difference but LCD are perfectly fine for monitoring.

[QUOTE="danchiefs1"]I have: core 2 duo 10x M & FSB 1350 V1.4 Corsair xms2 ddr2 800mhz 2x4gb, paired sticks totaling 8gb asus p5n e sli 650i mobo diablotek 750w power supply My setup has been working fine for the past few months with cpu @ 1400 fsb, RAM @ 5-5-5-18, command per clock auto, voltage @ 1.925. All the sudden yesterday it starts blue screening and freezing. I took the 2nd pair of ram out and it still was freezing. I turned the FSB down to 1350 and it is working fine now. I dont know what happened. It just decided to stop working. Can anyone help me? I would like to use the second pair of RAM i bought :(

Sorry I'm not sure I understand you correct, I read the text as you upgraded to 8GB and the board couldn't OC as well as before? (I think? because you also wrote "past few months") Well if so the problem is perhaps due to the memory controler on your MB, either it's faulty or just that the chipset need more voltage due to your using all the memoryslots instead of 2. This is common on older MB's particular during the s775 era, have a few board here myself an most wont OC as far with all memoryslots filled.

If it's input lag and not the wireless loosing conection (witch in my opinion is much more likely than input lag.) it would be ALL the time even in windows in menus and during desktop.

Most likely you are sitting further away from the dongle than before and your wireless are almost out of reach causing the mouse to stop working a little randomly. Try sitting closer to see if the problem remains.

A good gaming laptop isn't easily portable!

The whole idea of a laptop is mobile, you can buy a 300-400$ 13,6" laptop that work just great for your class'es and a 1.2k desktop to play all the games you want.

Or you can dish out 1300-1400$ for a move-able heavy chunk of nonupgradable laptop that eats battery.

I would get the best of the two, a fully capable small cheap laptop and a good gaming PC with bells and whistles that can be upgraded for some kind of longlivety.

[QUOTE="swehunt"][QUOTE="kaitanuvax"]

dunno why everyone is underestimating the 5770...

A 4850 can run most games on high. A 5770 should be able to do it more often. The only game it'll run on medium is Metro (but what doesn't).

GS550L

Exsaggerate and overestemate, the two ends on the same rope. Yah, one of the older machines here are running a oc'ed HD4850, it's having trouble pulling high/highest settings on anything else than a low resolution in the more modern games. HD5770 is a bit stronger, but giving it a standard 1080p resolution is should also struggle in the more modern games using the high/highest settings, a safe bet is however medium settings, it should handle every game in medium - thats no underestemate!

I'm not sure what resolution you're playing at, but my 4850's seem to be running modern games well enough at 1680x1050. I'm reasonably confident that just one of them would run most modern games fine at a mix of medium-high settings.

Well I am not playing games on that HD4850 that often because it has been downgraded to less capable gaming machines twice already, it's in one of the HTPC's here at home along with a s775 3Ghz quadcore because it couldn't handle many games well, it could not run maffia 2 properly, it could not run crysis properly, it could not run crysis 2 properly, and it couldnt handle metro even half decent and witcher, skyrim and BF3 it's not that fun either. Sure, playing games with most settings at high and laying off anything what supersampling is - playing at resolutions below the native resolution maybe cut it for some people but I cant stand it. HD4850 was a great card 2-3years ago nowdays it fit's int the HTPC, I wouldn't want to see it in a gaming machine made for 2012 games, that it lacks Dx11 don't help either because it's not even possible remote to run the higher settings that require DX11. ( the few games that support it)

[QUOTE="Mareczek99"]

Hi,

I would like to ask You guys, if it is worth to actually bother OCing my CPU at this stage.

I got an AMD Athlon II x4 640 running at stock 3.0Ghz

I got some stock cooling, no extra fans, no water cooling ect.

My PSU is a 450W no brand one but it is relatively new (bought about 3-4 months ago)

I already OCed my GPU (HD5670 Iceq) up to 820Mhz GPU and 1030Mhz Memory clocks and I also OCed my double Geil DDR3's 2GB sticks up to 1600.

It all runs fine and stable, so I was wondering, since my ASRock N68-GS3 UCC has an option to play around with CPU clocks, if it is anyhow timeworthy to fool around with it.

Oh.. typos..

Mareczek99

Dont bother with OC'ing running that HD5670 ´meanig you won't be able to play games/settings you couldn't before the OC´. If you can afford a better grahics would it give you alot better performance in games, the HD5670 is weak oc'ed or not, OC'ing is great but overclocking that CPU would not benefit you in any way. BTW what resolution are you running games?


I got a 18,5 inch monitor supporting up to 1600x900 but I usually play at 1366x768 with 4x AA. I know that card is a budget (though plays most games with high settings and AA + Vsync fine) I will buy a 6850 soon but I wanted to know, if the Athlon II x4 640 can squeeze out some additional power via OverClocking it.

Yes, the CPU will just about linear increase it's performance with a OC of the CPU freq, add bus speeds to that (sice it's not a BE CPU and you cant OC via multi) you'll gain even a little better than liniear. But better CPU performance won't help with the games. Going with a HD6850 you should aim a little higher with the CPU, getting it to 3.5Ghz x4 should be a simple task if you got even a half decent chip. 1600*900 and even more so 1366*768 isn't that demanding resolution and a HD6850 should run most games very good. The resolution much balance what part gets most stress, the lower the resolution the more the performance of the CPU matter, the higher the more a game stress the GPU, with a HD6850 the CPU might be the weaker link in RTS or heavily CPU dependant games particular running a 1366*768 resolution, OC would probably help in such a scenario.

How good is the card like will it max out everything at atleast 30fps.koryuk
No it won't, but how important is it to run every game max'ed out? It should handle every game very well, a few games it won't run the extreme levels of AA and such but some settings don't get you noticable change in visuals but stress the GPU much more, those you can live without.

No, The CPU should manage, but You'll need a GPU like 5670/5770 to run modern games with acceptable frame rates.

Mareczek99
"lowest settings?" nah, a HD6450/gt220 should play most games atleast on the lowest of settings, a HD5770 should be able to run most games medium settings. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ TC: The HD6250 is a mobile radeon is it? = laptop? Sorry with those specs you be playing old games.
