Horlufemi: The thing I hate about this mortal combat X is
there is no way to use 30fps. PC gamers are obsessed with 60fps
not everyone can afford a 800k system.
it means we should go and jump inside lagoon.
all I want to do is play the game with my friends and best the hell out of them. please stop. what is this? a 180K custom built PC with Athlon 880K, RX 470 and 8GB RAM will cream this game at 1080p, 800K will get you a 4K 60 FPS beast, it's all about knowing your hardware and avoiding laptops and prebuilt gaming PCs. If you can't get 60 FPS there's always low/medium/high graphics settings, not everyone wants ultra and what's wrong with 30 FPS? I'm a PC gamer and even 24 FPS is perfectly playable to me. you make 60 FPS sound like a luxury. |

AKBliv010: [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? 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. |
Gaming › Re: Mini-ITX Gaming PC by RX480(m): 12:41pm On Sep 01, 2016 |
AKBliv010: 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. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (DX 11) scales well across 16 cores/threads!

zyzxx: generally nividai has two major challenge, over heating coz it fast and it processor heat a lot and two nividia has a high standard of VGA which is the graphic and our weather here can't work much with it
So bro have been in this game for the past 6 years and I have handle a lot of that system heating is purely based on TDP, Ventilation/Airflow and the ambient temperature, nothing you said has anything to do with a laptop overheating. and something running hotter doesn't make it faster o, using that logic, a GTX 480 is the fastest graphics card in existence. AKBliv010 wat is dis  |

edemhe: I swapped out of pc gaming because i couldn't afford to keep updating my pc to keep up with new titles.
I have been using the same console now (Xbox) for the past 11years and haven't had to upgrade it once.
Games are built for consoles while PCs are built for games. That is facy HD 6870 is 6 years old now, phenom ii X6s are almost 9 years old and a 750Ti which is capable of running all current titles is $95, if you had to upgrade your PC constantly to keep up with newer titles then you were doing something wrong. that Xbox is outdated and I can say the same for my PS2 which I've used for 10 years, it runs games from it's time and when you upgrade to the new Xbox, you'll have to buy all the games you own over again. |

JIMMY1393: 50fps is not the max fps  I know, hence the "+" signifies the minimum FPS you'll get at ultra settings on the most demanding titles |

Silkmoth33:

But you haven't said anything! Other than re-iterate and buttress my point that being a PC gamer is equivalent to being a factionless dolt.
Other than being a PC gamer is just trouble. Where in nigeria are your rig parts readily available?
Other than exonerate yourself from the core PC gamers, claiming to be half-blind and wiser, as you belong to the group that only upgrades when it's necessary. someone who doesn't want to be tied down to a single greedy corporation or just wants a better gaming experience is a "factionless dolt", you must take the console wars way too seriously. PC parts are extremely hard to find in Nigeria, http://collinsvgames.com.ng/components if you don't like the bloated prices, Amazon offers free shipping to Nigeria on a lot of PC parts, one can get a 750Ti for $95 and again, the PC platform is about choice, If someone upgrades their graphics card yearly, it doesn't affect me in any way, it's their money, let them waste it. |

Silkmoth33: Lol!
Ha ah! What is all dis 
Are you guys building the rig for the thrill of having a monster PC. Or for the sole purpose of playing game?
Who are we deceiving? You are more engrossed with your hardware than gaming.
I have a console! I play games made for it. If Sony advances to neo, I simply have to move on with the times and upgrade. I'm not bothered about no cooling systems or my GTX warming the room upto 93 degrees of scorching heat, or hooking it up from 1080 HD to 4k televisioning. Or few ppl turning up to play games online.
To me the console is any machine that I play my games with.
Not a Caterpillar-like robotic heavy duty machinery that I have to always clean the vent, oil the joints and sh1t.
What is a PC really ENTHUSIASTS are more engrossed with their hardware than their gaming, I'm not an enthusiast, I'm a gamer and I'll upgrade my PC when I can't play my games at 1080p 30 FPS lowest settings and I'm not tied to any greedy company like Sony or Microsoft (Linux exists), I'm on an platform with choice and open standards, I'm not worried about cooling because all my parts come with coolers and the hottest running modern GPU peaks at 80° (not even close enough to increase the temps of a small room by 2°). online gaming is free on PC and is one of the strongest points of PC gaming, servers are well populated for a lot of older games(if you don't believe me, check steamstats). a PC doesn't need oil (not sure where you got that from) and heatsinks to only need to be cleaned once every year or two. if you know nothing about a subject, don't say anything at all. |

Silkmoth33: No man! PC gamers and Hardware pirate enthusiasts alike are one and the same
As much as you love to brag and play games for dirt cheap amounts. You still toil with the idea of tinkering and stretching the limits of your personal modifications of the games you are privy to. No man! gamers and enthusiasts are similar but different, an enthusiast is someone who wants the most powerful piece of hardware in existence an enthusiast is someone who buys 4 Titan XPs just to top the 3Dmark charts, an enthusiast is someone like this http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4630297 , an enthusiast uses games as benchmarks to measure the power of their rigs. an enthusiast is also an overclocker, they'll spend thousands of dollars trying to get the most out of their hardware, pushing everything to the limit, overclocking CPUs to 8 Ghz, playing Witcher 3 at 4K 200+ FPS. a gamer is someone who wants something sufficient for their needs... brb |

AKBliv010: For the target market, the RX480 is a no-brainer! When the 290X was released it cost $550 now the RX480 has about the same performance and is under $200 for the reference. It's incredible. Can't wait to see the performance of the 390x successor. don't forget that the non reference RX 480s are on the heels of 390X performance
