New PC Build

Unread post by Big_Fred »

I finally got all the parts in and started building Tuesday night. Sorry I missed the GS bomber mission.

I5 2500k
8GB ram
EVGA Nvidia GTX560 2GB superclocked
SSD 120gb hard drive (stupid fast startups)
Windows 7 Home premium 64

This thing is sweet. Offline I am clocking up to 300fps (looking at the sky), averaging 240. Maybe this will help my gunnery....

Best thing is, I built it for under $800, had the monitors already. Back to dual screen, maps and coms FTW.

nice Fred !
hey are you using freetrack ?... if you do, normal cams usually will only see up to 30 fps.
If you use the Sony eye cam you can get CL drivers for it to get up to 70.

120 is filling up. I have another 500gb drive that I will install the games/data to.

My freetrack may need a camera upgrade. I may be able to steal the PS3 Eye from downstairs.

I am using an ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 MoBo.
