Hi, guys , i guess there is no shame in asking? how do one observe and know the FBS rating while playing games?

and here i am doing 30 sumtin fps max on 720p with settings at medium... The pain of an intel integrated graphics

You play Project Cars too?

Download and install FRAPS, it'll measure and display your framerate.

Thanks Bro, i'll do that

oh sorry mistoke you for someone else...oh I see...you should get a budget pc with a 750TI it won't let you down.

Dude, i only just realised I was playing at 2560x1080...when I plugged it in a 1920x1080 monitor (Full HD) it sat around 45FPS, still on Ultra...this little card is insane.. and to think it doesn't need an external power supply...I'm gobsmacked!

750ti is no joke... Even with its age.

Nitori game.

Who ever said it was solely for gaming and I think its the owner or builders prerogative don't you think...if he wants to use it to type word document its up to him, don't you think and beside that rig he's building can be used for more than gaming you know

bertoseve:
I see,just like a laptop with really noisy fans, i know that feeling...at the threshold of an inspirational idea breakthrough, one needs absolute silence , which i prefer to describe as absolute peace

You get me man...

Dude.... I was going to ask what you're up to but that's obvious build is looking crazy Bruv

Thanks bro, it's taken the back seat for now till I finish this NL build. I'll come back to that later and post the finished product.

I'm very open minded so I totally understand; it's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it.
But I'm also a gamer, and I'm pretty sure that as of now-2016, there's only 1 or 2 games that require such a resilient system spec. I believe he took it too far.

The money spent can be used for more than gaming you know?

I might be wrong, you can mention me and throw some more light on your views.

Like I said earlier its his prerogative yes but if you have the money and its your passion I don't see any reason not to and truth be told there are very few 2016 games that won't run on that rig..I'm guessing.

True. It all floats up to "It is his money, he can do whatever he wants with it"....

The reason why I made that first comment is like you almost described "because I don't have as much passion for gaming as he does". I can go to the extreme for 'Pringles' whereas the o.p might not.

There were several factors that made me build this

1. i7 CPU - speeds up my Uni work running when Solidworks, Xilinx for FPGA synthesis, Video editing and being on the latest socket will last me for many years. Although I had the i7-4790K before it was more cost efficient to get the new chip and spend less on the motherboard when downscaling from an ATX build to Mini-ITX. A motherboard for the unlocked i7 CPU I owned before cost around 50% more than the latest. The price I sold my i7-4790K covered 86% of the cost of the i7-6700K.

2. GTX1070 - I pay my electricity bills and my whole system now uses 204W max during gaming sessions. Non-gaming 68W compared to 600W gaming/ 132W non-gaming of my previous build. The GPU also speeds up rendering Solidworks 3D objects and video editing much faster using Nvidia's CUDA cores compared with AMD's using OpenCL.

3. I enjoy customising..there's only one of it's kind in the whole world.

4. Desk Space... the small form factor uses less space and is extremely silent.

5. I sell old parts to buy newer parts, saves me money. I've reused most of the parts I already own.

6. This build is future proof for gaming we are already seeing PC gaming requirements slowly creeping up and DX12/Vulkan API's using up to 8 cores when compared to DX11 that uses a maximum of 2 CPU cores. I don't plan to upgrade for a few years, the missus has put a ban on upgrades.

Ah, my apologies then....far be it from me to question another person's passion for something especially gaming.

bro am terribly happy to watch the evolution that transmogrify your gaming nomenclative frequency which i eternally dab to....abeg for my own old ogbunigwe which is just a rickety q9650 can i use the 750ti and wont it overclog it? where do i get the most affordable 750ti cos have been dreaming for long to lay my hands on 1!!!!
pls answer asap!!! fenks

I didn't realise my words could be 'dabbed' to

The 750Ti won't bottleneck the Q9650. It's still one of the strongest quad cores of its time and with the right motherboard, you can overclock to get more juice out of it. I've used a Q6600 and Q8400 before. What's the rating of your power supply? Does your motherboard have the PCIe slot. What's form factor is your case? If you are unsure, take a picture and post.

I've got a 750Ti for sale in excellent working conditon but that will set you back #46k.

Ommo I don't joke with what she says o! For peace, I have to comply. I can sell a part if it covers the cost of the newer component that's the agreement and a man is only as good as his word! I have to stick with it.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (DX 11) scales well across 16 cores/threads!

[s]Bro you are looking at 1280 x720.. try higher resolutions[/s]

Actually let me look at this on my PC...why is the i3 doing so good?

Where's the comparison to DX12?

I like it.
How much for the full build in Naira?

In the region of #200K+ excluding shipping cost. ALL IN PC+Monitor+Keyboard&Mouse..parts are subject to availability but alternatives will be discussed.

Sounds pretty cheap. I like it a lot.

the game seems quite cpu intensive, probably why the i3 is maxed.

has DX 12 support been released yet? I heard it may take a few weeks.

It's competitively priced considering the performance/price ratio.

oh sorry, the bars are CPU usage! missed that info.

Yea, we'll have to see how this game is optimized in DX12.
