pci-e 1 and 2 don't really refer to types or pci slots rather than the speed their capable of, like usb 1.1 and 2.0.mikeinaus wrote:even though my board has a pci-e 1.0 slot and 2.0 cards are supposed to be backwards complaint i guess they don't like each other.
i also think this is the best solutionDaninski wrote:Update your MB's bios
almost anything you have will bottleneck a GPU XDonlytrueromeo wrote:5850 is a lot of power for an old MOBO and you will most likely be CPU restricted. What are you running? You can put together a decent AMD build for pretty cheap.
not sure what cpu, psu, or cooling system you got but 4-4.5ghz might be a bit much on a 3.2, it can be done yes, but if not getting stable power or sufficient cooling you'll have lots of problemsmikeinaus wrote:i will be cpu limited as i have a pentium d 3.2ghz, but im gonna be overclocking it to 4-4.5ghz (depending on my results). that should last me a few months till i can find a nice ocing 2nd hand core 2 duo/quad in my price range. a 3ghz core 2 duo is about 10% (give or take) slower in games then a core i7, assuming i can find one that does 3.5-4ghz i should be fine for another year or 2 with this setup.
Yea, Ive had all the Diablos since the beginning, love em. Its more of a fun hack n slash as opposed to a serious skill set strategy mmo.onlytrueromeo wrote:If you were really into UO, I do not think Diablo 3 will satisfy your needs.
Shadowbane did for me, but alas, it is no more!
Have you heard of Darkfall Online?
Just 1 of the many examples..

Free 14 day trial, and I've been able to play on my dated 8600 GTS. Will hopefully be picking up a 6950 after Christmas!
i have a pentium d 3.2 which are known to easily hit 4-4.5 on air cooling. ocz 650w high efficiency psu and a scythe mugen 2 heatink (its freakin massive). the only thing stopping my ocing right now if my shitty ram. not much improvement in games over the 9500gt, cpu must be extremely lagging the system. could also be cuz i didnt do a clean install of windows after swapping motherboards...Evo_Spec wrote:not sure what cpu, psu, or cooling system you got but 4-4.5ghz might be a bit much on a 3.2, it can be done yes, but if not getting stable power or sufficient cooling you'll have lots of problemsmikeinaus wrote:i will be cpu limited as i have a pentium d 3.2ghz, but im gonna be overclocking it to 4-4.5ghz (depending on my results). that should last me a few months till i can find a nice ocing 2nd hand core 2 duo/quad in my price range. a 3ghz core 2 duo is about 10% (give or take) slower in games then a core i7, assuming i can find one that does 3.5-4ghz i should be fine for another year or 2 with this setup.
