@Kn00tcn when did i ever say it was a good thing? I dont much care for leval of detail and how high the shinyness on my cars and such is and it is meh becuase id say for my computer being 7 years old with those specs its doing pretty good. And im 14 and make no money becuase im 14 so i cant get xbox/ps3
@Kn00tcn yes actualy it does on minimum settings besides the computer componits i talked about in my previous comments arnt everyhing that maters for gaming. There the power supplie the windows and the harddrive so before you doubt people think ya noob.
@TheDrNate right, minimum settings are something to enjoy? worse than console settings so how is that a good thing
plus the resolution causes a huge hit on lower end cards/laptops, so what exactly is so 'meh' about the situation? this vid is so old & my parts arent very high end anymore
@Kalleyon dunno, it's fairly similar across all patches, & whenever they changed the shadows, you had to lower the shadow quality to one below max to stop the stuttering
@kn00tcn Sorry for not seeing the box dick head i thought the video was about being able to play gta 4 not looking at shit on your desk. unsubbed And if you've ever watched the yogscast, you would have known what i meant by my comment.
P.S My comment is a joke, you Weren't supposed to take it seriously.
@xslimgigityx really now, no smiley faces or quotation marks to tell anyone that it's a joke, is it my fault you looked like some kid? cuz pretty much every GTA or COD video is full of dumb kids so you have to make it clear that you're not one of them
i have sapphire 4870x2 referance and i need the working bios slave ans master...i looked the tech power and no usefull...i tried most of and getting artifacts..
@kn00tcn when i start the game -every game-no matter what- just played 5 min and getting gpu fail ...black screen and system shut down
i restart and updated driver and otherrs ...start any game and getting black screen shut down pc...
i search every where and people tells a bios update is so usefull for this...so i back up the original bios files..and try different ones ..i try techpower up site and try lots of bios versions of sapphire and others
@oothervoices it's my stock bios backup before i modified the fan speed, the psu may be certified, but if it has been in heavy use for years, it becomes weaker over time
@Dharma818 um very important, high end cards are power hungry, so are overclocked cpus, you dont want to give poor quality power or worse, a faulty cheap power supply that damages other things when it dies or explodes
@kn00tcn i'm running on the beta version since it's known to have the most stability. i'm afraid you are right about 10.6...all my problems with CF started when i updated to it.
whenever i want to play DX10 games, my only options are to disable CF or downclock the 2nd gpu to 500/507...really sucks. If ATI keeps doing this, they will lose the market share for extreme pc gamers. they make great hardware but the drivers are crapware!
@kn00tcn temps are fine, around 40-50 c tops on the 2nd gpu according to gpu-z. all i know is, i've had these issues since i opened my vid card up to clean it from dust AND installed from 10.3 to 10.6. So i dont know if it was the driver or if i messed something up physically. all i know is that i'm not alone in this issue.
@kn00tcn i took the entire heatsink apart yes. i was having major heat issues and that really dropped my temps. unfortunately, i must have done something to aggravate the 2nd gpu since it doesnt even want to run on stock speeds (crossfired)
@kn00tcn i think that's the case although i've taken it apart twice already. i'm beginning to get really good at it too. yep i did take the old paste and reapplied some AS5 using the credit card method. i'll disassemble it again this weekend and double check. i really love this card and hate to part with it since it still hangs with ATI and NVIDIAS new badboys.
I tried to play this game on my Intel Pentium D 2.66Ghz Dual Core and it lagged. So I just ordered a new computer from eBay that is Core2Quad 2.4Ghz... hopefully I will be able to hit at least 30 FPS on medium!
I have 4870x2 too, but mine wont run 1280x1024 at very high... shoud i go for crossfire? May it be my OS? ( XP 32 bit) I have the newest patch and drivers
@kn00tcn well I have i7 920 @ 2.66 atm. I got all on very high at 1280x1024 (cant go bigger) and it laggs. Even if I take most settings down. May the 32 bit OS cause that, and old Nvidia drivers?
@kn00tcn No I meant that I didn't delete my old Nvidia drivers just installed ATi's next to the Nvidia's. catalystAI??? Well I'm new with ATi things... :( I think you meant the Anti-analising and texture filtering from catalyst command centre?
not sure how the 4870X2 will run but you can usally use 20%-40% more memory then you have ad long as it fast enough. To over ride this re-enter the target location of the shortcut to say the following minus the {}
{C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe" -norestrictions -nomemrestrict}
not on this comp, but i'm thinking of core i9 6core, 12gb ram, '6870' or some other future gfx... maybe in a year or something... not just for gaming, after effects is painful to use on 4gb
Multiplatform games use a custom 3d wrapper library that interfaces to OpenGl -or- Direct3D. It's the only way to make it a viable option to develop for multiple platforms. That's why a lot of companies shell out big dollars for a cross platform library that's good. So it of course "uses" direct3d, but GTA 3 didn't do it very efficiently. What I meant was whether or not it makes efficient use of it. It looks pretty darn good in the video.
i just wanna build a new one for starcraft 2 and be able to play it at ultra/max so i am searching for advices i think i will be able to play it for no more than $650.
game uses both my cores beyond 50/50%, & while recording a fraps video, the cores go at most 50/50, so single 4870 performance, just like other CF working games
i hear SLI also works, but with a few more visual glitches
On my ASUS M3A78-CM it runs pretty good in High Detail. I have to admit though. You have a awesome system too! But it's good you know that. Not many people know water is the most difficult item to render in any video game. Try old school Battlefield 2, and post the water rendition if you want. That uses both shader 1 and 2 models. Would be interesting to see the results. Thanks
Yea, thats why I mentioned it was old school. But I believe it supports both shader formats. And a good test basis for a graphics interface comparison.
well dude this rig cost like what 1000$ for the PC ? and it runs it 40-50 fps with not maxed view distance and stuff , this game is sweaty to max out even with alienware or what ?
max view distance is a real pain on the cpu, & it's a really strange option... they should have used lower detail textures for far away buildings or something, as it demands well over 1gb vram just to go past 30 view distance
hi, i was wanting to upgrade my 5 yr old pc which i bought from pb technologies. Do you think pb technologies could upgrade my processor and motherboard for me and if yes then approxmiately how much would it cost.
hey, nice video man, i have a C2Q9550 - GeForce GTX280 4GB GSKILL DDR3- and ASUS P5Q3 deluxe. i run gta4 as fast as my hardware can, but i have 2 question, i don't overclock my c2q yet, so.. how much is the difference on fps in games like gta4 / crysis between a c2q9550 stock ghz and 3.5 or 3.6 oc ?
my second question is, to put the fsb to 420 or more did you change the vcore or at least the northbridge v. ?
sorry for my english, if you don't understand something just tell me
in gta4, overclocking the cpu should be a big difference, not so much in most other games
i (eventually) made all volts manual, since P5Q series motherboards have horrible auto settings
a p45 northbridge does not need much voltage at all, i think i run it at 1.14 or 1.16v
the cpu vcore (& the other cpu related voltages) i've changed, but i dont think i went much higher (if at all) than what auto volts were on stock speeds
Nice Q9550 dude! Why dont you try to reach 4.0Ghz? It would be nice if you have a good cooling and easy, those 1,22v are just nothing, I doubt you will need more than 1,35v to reach 4Ghz! What mother do you have?
Damn, that's a lot of money! Core i9 will cost around what the i7 975EE cost right now! Pair it with a Classified 769 plus violents Dominator GT and you would spend like 2k of u$ in just 3 components... To much money for my 3rd class country. I will stick to LGA775 combos till Sandy Bridge get into the action.
Ah, what cooling do you use for the 9550? Is that a TRUE with p&p?
Because I live in a crippy country like Argentina and I can get whatever is on the market, obviusly with an extra of u$100-u$200 but well, I can get those things xD
i want my stuff fast, me to carry it without shipping smashes, if needed i could do a return/replacement in less than an hour, no shipping charges, no shipment arrival issues (i'm in an apartment), etc
it's not like it's a bad cooler, it's very similar to ocz vendettas &other copper base copper heatpipe aluminum fin tall cpu coolers

@vicioustomato yes of course, how could you not run CF
the video info says 9.2
why are you on beta....... & such an old one too, but there is a bigger issue, 10.6, 7, 8 have messed up 2d/3d detection for core2
so get 10.5 or 10.5a (bfbc2 loading speeds) & 10.8 profiles installer & should be ok... not sure how mafia2 would run

@kn00tcn i'm running on the beta version since it's known to have the most stability. i'm afraid you are right about 10.6...all my problems with CF started when i updated to it.

it wont be 'bad' or anything, but it will dip under 30fps at times
what price mobo are you looking for? dont just say 'cheap', some people call $150 cheap (that's about as cheap as i would go when overclocking)
kn00tcn 2 years ago
@kn00tcn mmm.. about $200-$220
ganondorffromhell 2 years ago
USD? that should be any good core2 mobo at that price
p45 or x48 chipset only though... anything else is crap
kn00tcn 2 years ago
@kn00tcn yeah USD.
i just wanna build a new one for starcraft 2 and be able to play it at ultra/max so i am searching for advices i think i will be able to play it for no more than $650.
thanks dude

game only uses one of the 4870x2s cpus the game does not work with crossfire or sli
iTzxXDaRkOnEXx 2 years ago
game uses both my cores beyond 50/50%, & while recording a fraps video, the cores go at most 50/50, so single 4870 performance, just like other CF working games
i hear SLI also works, but with a few more visual glitches
kn00tcn 2 years ago
Radeo is fuck, On Geforce GTX 260 People have more FPS then you, GTA 4 run better on Geforce than ATI. xDD Play with small FPS on 4870x2))))

I would like to see the water detail set very high. Surprisingly. Water in any game is the hardest to render. Give it a try and re post. Thanks
chipmaster86 2 years ago
it's actually kinda ugly, bunch of tiny little waves
i'm big on water, too, & crysis seems to be the best by far, with ETquakewars also being pretty good.. oh & citiesxl is nice
kn00tcn 2 years ago
On my ASUS M3A78-CM it runs pretty good in High Detail. I have to admit though. You have a awesome system too! But it's good you know that. Not many people know water is the most difficult item to render in any video game. Try old school Battlefield 2, and post the water rendition if you want. That uses both shader 1 and 2 models. Would be interesting to see the results. Thanks
chipmaster86 2 years ago
BF2 is getting old, ETQW is like BF2's water but smoother (coincidentally, ETQW's gameplay is a lot like BF as well)
water is easy & 'good enough' if you fake it with basic reflections+ripples, but only good artists make it proper like in crysis
kn00tcn 2 years ago
Yea, thats why I mentioned it was old school. But I believe it supports both shader formats. And a good test basis for a graphics interface comparison.
chipmaster86 2 years ago
I have to admit. If i was blind in one eye playing ETQW, I would have thought I was playing BF2.! LOL

24 inch screens is nice, but to big for GTA 4 on most comps.

no, gta4 is too cpu limited
crysis runs much 'worse' on 24 & higher monitors

How it runs?
It runs very very Awesome!! 5/5
johnie1992 2 years ago
well dude this rig cost like what 1000$ for the PC ? and it runs it 40-50 fps with not maxed view distance and stuff , this game is sweaty to max out even with alienware or what ?
Pupixario 2 years ago
there's nothing special about alienware
max view distance is a real pain on the cpu, & it's a really strange option... they should have used lower detail textures for far away buildings or something, as it demands well over 1gb vram just to go past 30 view distance
engine isnt too efficient in that regard

dont set it to 100% duh!
it's so useless, you have other buildings in front of you that block the far view distance, which makes it pointless to raise it
it's also very cpu demanding

1009mb? ur video card have 2gb. i dont get this? should i replace my gtx 260 with Radeon 4870 X2?
PS: how much can i get for GTX 260 superclocked? I only used it for like 3 months
Tomek016PL 2 years ago
crossfire & sli have mirrored vram per core, so 1gb usable
you could replace your 260 with a 5870 or 5850 if you dont care about physx or cuda
it might be worth like $150 or $160

hi, i was wanting to upgrade my 5 yr old pc which i bought from pb technologies. Do you think pb technologies could upgrade my processor and motherboard for me and if yes then approxmiately how much would it cost.

if i'd be able to overclock my cpu/ram and had money for a better graphics card, i would have something same.

hey, nice video man, i have a C2Q9550 - GeForce GTX280 4GB GSKILL DDR3- and ASUS P5Q3 deluxe. i run gta4 as fast as my hardware can, but i have 2 question, i don't overclock my c2q yet, so.. how much is the difference on fps in games like gta4 / crysis between a c2q9550 stock ghz and 3.5 or 3.6 oc ?
my second question is, to put the fsb to 420 or more did you change the vcore or at least the northbridge v. ?
sorry for my english, if you don't understand something just tell me
pablo14x 2 years ago
in gta4, overclocking the cpu should be a big difference, not so much in most other games
i (eventually) made all volts manual, since P5Q series motherboards have horrible auto settings
a p45 northbridge does not need much voltage at all, i think i run it at 1.14 or 1.16v
the cpu vcore (& the other cpu related voltages) i've changed, but i dont think i went much higher (if at all) than what auto volts were on stock speeds
kn00tcn 2 years ago
thanks for the fast answer, when i´ve time im gonna oc my pc, cya.

Turn off "Definition" for the jhighest graphics. They are stuff like depth of field and motion blur.

Nice Q9550 dude! Why dont you try to reach 4.0Ghz? It would be nice if you have a good cooling and easy, those 1,22v are just nothing, I doubt you will need more than 1,35v to reach 4Ghz! What mother do you have?
Nice rig my friend!
pekalion 2 years ago
i probably could easy, but i was aiming for a super low voltage OC, plus there's no temp sensor on the nb
i'm good for now, maybe i'll mess around when i make an i7 or i9 dx11 comp
kn00tcn 2 years ago
Damn, that's a lot of money! Core i9 will cost around what the i7 975EE cost right now! Pair it with a Classified 769 plus violents Dominator GT and you would spend like 2k of u$ in just 3 components... To much money for my 3rd class country. I will stick to LGA775 combos till Sandy Bridge get into the action.
Ah, what cooling do you use for the 9550? Is that a TRUE with p&p?
pekalion 2 years ago
well they'll get cheaper in a year (they better)
it's a cooler master hyper 212 (had a limited selection of backplate based heatpipe coolers found in local stores)
