I would say its a waste of money . You won't notice any real world improvement just more e-peen bragging rights .

Higher speed RAM makes a difference with AMD systems and overclocked Intel systems. If it's not overclocked, you won't see any real world difference.
memoryc.com is one of the better places to go for RAM and they have a reasonably good selection. Prices are usually competitive (aside from if you're about to place an order with hardwareversand), especially with the free delivery.

Trying to play Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and the damn thing just won't work properly on my computer. I can't seem to break 30fps regardless of where I use 'very high' or 'low' settings, which seems bizarre, but when I drop the resolution down from 1920x1080 to 1280x800, the framerate goes up to 150! I have a 3570k and 7770 crossfire, and other games are fine.....

Went from 7770 Crossfire to a single 7850 2GB, and viola, on the exact same settings, 35 -> 65fps. The game's just a horrible memory hog.

Thanks that was part of the problem:D. But BOI wants the address of the german bank and one of HWS..

That's what Im stuck on at the moment.

Right guys, ive built my pc and im still looking for more help haha

What drivers will I need to download for my graphics card??

I presume you have an AMD card so look there

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Yep, 7850 2gb, i found my card, and theres 4 drivers in total, so will I download all of them and then the card should be good to use, yeah ?

4 drivers?

No just download the Catalyst Software Suite from that link i showed ya and that includes a driver, which all you need

Oops, my bad

Got it, cheers lads, finally sucking diesel now

Must say I was f**king nervous turning it on for the first time earlier haha

Welcome to

Safe to say, the lads on xbox are definitely jealous

honestly cant see myself going back now, only for fifa

TBH I was always a ps3 gamer but the pc destroyed that for me in terms of getting use to a keyboard and mouse and cant barely use a controller now ya know

Definitely, after playing my brothers laptop for about a week I went back to playing xbox and was like, dafuq is this ? haha

man I'm just sick of laggy game play! Ps3 have given me so much entertainment but pcs look and sound like so much more fun to play theres more games to play and just, how can you not.
I think Ill get more bang for buck, how ever I think i just shelled bout double for my set up which is pretty amazing I never figured id do that.

cant wait to get it tho

now that my Xbox sky on demand service has expired, I honestly haven't turned on my Xbox in months. I got lured back temporarily for Trials Evolution but I even solved that by getting an Xbox controller for my HTPC. the passive HD6450 gives the Xbox a run for it's money in everything but the most intensive stuff like BF3, which I wouldn't play on console anyway!

FlyingIrishMan

I got 13months Gold for the Xbox around the same time I got the PC. I say I used two or three days worth of the gold. :pac:

Thing about a play station is you have a blu ray player

I cant neglect it to much tho as I like playing bf3 with my mates. Im just looking forward to a new gaming experience and having games like Metro 2033, I could sing day z's praise's but in fairness the hackers seem to be ruining that at the moment , I guess there is PS2, war thunder, and a ton of other games out there to be suggested. If you have any let me know...

Get yourself steam and origin and watch out for sales. You can pick most titles up, even recent ones, for half or less than half price. Not to mention a ton of good free games like Team fortress 2, League of legends, Planetside 2, Hawken, World of tanks, Star wars the old republic, ect + the crap loads of free mods. Welcome to the wonderful world of pc gaming
