@Mower:

Good move backing out, IMHO NOBODY needs a GPU that expensive for home use.

Yep,

Aha, very nice indeed. Now that would be cool

I just went down to my local computer shop to have a chat with him about cards and I took my credit card… very nearly a BIG mistake :???: He started to talk to me about the relative power consumption of AMD v Nvidea cards. We got on to talking about the directx9 issue and being the good salesman that he is he pointed out I could sort that out with brute force, i.e. a GTX 980 which incredibly would still work with my psu. I found my hand twitching on my card which would be financial insanity at the moment and only the fact that the 2006 3d mark score was still appreciably lower stopped me, well I like to think it was common sense actually… Oh so nearly £550 worse off there… he was good !!

Ok, thx for the reply… I notice in unclocked state our cpu’s are pretty similar but sorry for my nubness I dont know what you mean by bezel correction. I run my game on a standard 24 inch flatscreen at native 1920x1080. In this configuration I have all the ingame sliders maxed out an everything seems very smooth.

Actually no replies, am not suprised its a bit vague. Basically guys how does Falcon play on 960/970 with an I5 4590, anyone know ?

Hi all,

Am in a bit of a dilema here. I currently run an R9 270x for Falcon and with an I5 4590 the game runs very nice. Thing is the card has only 2gb of Vram and one of the titles I play that is not enough so am upgrading. A 4gb R9 290 seems nice and would run on my psu ok (I think) but I want to change things over as Nvideas use a lot less power and seem to be a lot less hassle in a few more titles at the moment. No probs a GTX 960/970 would be a nice upgrade but I see that these cards have significantly lower scores for 3dmark 2006, which is pertinent for Falcon considering the engine is DX9. We are not talking a small difference here either it is of the magnitude x3 in terms of 3d mark 06 score in favour of the earlier R9 card. I could go far a second hand gtx 780 but I really wan’t 4gb of vram for a slight bit of future proof.

As always, budget is a consideration

Any ideas folks ?

Haha, am so looking forward to this

Yeah thx for that, I to have used Krauses stuff and think they bloomin useful as well although I know the sound an SA10 makes now pretty well, and if I don’t do something quick about it I am also pretty conversant with the sound that follows… BOOM.

Thanks guys…

I can’t seem to find a list of all the symbols that can appear on the RWR, can someone point me in the right direction please…

Lol… yeah, love that vid, fits just right there…
