What kind of PC setup do u guys have?
« on: May 03, 2008, 07:50:42 PM »
See topic.

I'm not completely satisfied with my setup, sometimes I do get some minor lag during races.

Athlon 64 3500, socket 939 @ 2.2ghz
2048Gb Kingston HyperX DDR400
Nvidia Geforce 6600GT (OCd)
WD Raptor 10.000rpm 74GB

I have a piece of shit bucket of a computer - at least by today's standard. To be fair, though, it's over 4 years old now.

Athlon "Barton" XP 2500+
512 MB DDR400 RAM
ATI Radeon 9800Pro
One 500GB and one 120GB HDD

I often lag behind in races, especially if it's one of those custom maps build from scratch. Upgrades are postponed until GTA4 comes out for the PC though.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3 GHz
2x2GB GeIL Black Dragon Ultra Low Latency RAM
ASUS P5E motherboard with the Intel X38 chipset
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT (Slight OC)
WD Raptor 10.000 RPM 74 GB (16 MB cache), WD Caviar 7200 RPM 500 GB (16 MB cache) and a WD Elements 500 GB external HDD.
A neat Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS is mah soundcard.

Spent too much on cooling, the CPU usually runs 30-35 degrees idle, 45ish under load (Thermaltake 120 eXtreme).
GFX idles at around 40 degrees.

raz0, if you get really desperate, I've got an old P4 2.8 GHz, 1GB PC3200 RAM with a GeForce 6800GT you can lend :P

Here's the Snipe-anator (commonly known as a normal laptop):

15.4" laptop (Acer, Aspire 5670-series, with the webcam, WOOT)
Intel Centrino Duo @ 1,66 Ghz
1 Gigabyte of memory @ 600-something Mhz, don't ask about the latencys, don't know nothing about that :P
Ati Radeon X1400, with Hypermemory (oh yes) :P
80 Gb of storage, 7200 Rpm I think

About the in-game performance: my ping is always around 20, max 30, but I seem to lag sometimes if not always... Think that has to do with my FPS, which are a bit low sometimes. My FPS always drop near places with a lot of trees involved. But normally it runs pretty smoothly, lets say in the city and desert it runs okay!

[Offtopic]My laptop doesn't belong here, I see it's for the PC, not laptops :P [/Offtopic]
