it must be awesome on 3 monitors
You wouldn't believe....:whew:


And for whatever reason these past few nvidia driver updates have been making the game more and more optimized for me. I'm running at an almost steady 60 now :wow:

So, it turns out my BF4 problems weren't BF4 problems at all, at least not completely. fukking McAfee real time scanning was the problem, which didn't start until after BF4 was installed. I'm not sure what all of this means, or why McAfee is scanning BF4 before it is even launched, but whenever I turn off real time scanning, my computer boots up as fast as it always did. Once it's on, it's back to booting up slowly. Any suggestions on how to fix this? What could McAfee possibly be scanning with BF4 before it is even up and running? I see nothing in msconfig or scheduled tasks. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?



Alot of Anti virus programs make computer run slower. My advice is to get Kasper Sky. Its runs smooth and doesnt slow ur shyt down..

"The seemingly never-ending onslaught of new graphics cards as of late continues today with the official release of the AMD Radeon R9 270. This mainstream graphics card actually leverages the same GPU that powered last-year's Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition. AMD, however, has tweaked the clocks and through software and board level revisions updated the card to allow for more flexible use of its display outputs (using Eyefinity no longer requires the use of a DisplayPort). Versus the 1GHz (GPU) and 4.8Gbps (memory) of the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, the Radeon R9 270 offers slightly lower compute performance (2.37 TFLOPS vs. 2.56 TFLOPS), but much more memory bandwidth--179.2GB/s vs. 153.6GB/s to be exact. AMD and its add in board partners are launching the Radeon R9 270 today, with prices starting at $179. The Radeon R9 270's starting price is somewhat aggressive and once again puts pressure on NVIDIA. GeForce GTX 660 cards, which typically performed lower than the Radeon R9 270 are priced right around the $190 mark. Along with this card, AMD is also announcing an update to its game bundle, and beginning November 13 Radeon R9 270 – R9 290X cards will include a free copy of Battlefield 4. NVIDIA, on the other hand, is offering Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Assassins Creed – Black Flag, plus $50 off a SHIELD portable gaming device with GTX 660 and 760 cards."

that's kinda how I feel about it. the next gen's $200 card will probably be better than the current $400 card. so you might as well get a $200 card now, and then a new $200 card in the future :manny:

Again, I need help building my HTPC, I need a fast processor for multitasking and a good video card that would give me HD at 1080/720p off the bat.

Budget is 700

Any help would be gladly appreciated
