Need help deciding on 2 components for new pc build

[brkkab]

It's a shame the highest resolution in both Forza games is 1920x1080. They sya both are 4K cpapble, but only 1920x1080. These game developers need to catch up with the current monitor settings on the market fast.

AMD released new Crimson drivers earlier today. They're now on version 16.11.4 now. Sapphire also took TriXX 3.0 out of beta. It's now on version 6.2.0 now.
Now, I'm going to play a quick game of Forza Motorsport 6 : Apex and then go to bed.
I have to drop off my 2nd 24 hour urine test at the hospital's laboratory in the morning.

I definitely need to get a racing wheel down the road.

Nahh keyboards rock man... ;D

I use a XBOX One pad, does that remove me from the PC master race Only for racers mind. FPS must be Keyboard and mouse

I don't think so Rich although we'll have see what the gaming gods decide... ( I think they'll be ok about it)

I use a Xbox 360 controller. I still have to get a wired Xbox One controller. For racing, though I need a wheel to do any good. Hand issues from diabetes.

Hey kemical. I just restarted Folding@home. Does the forum still have it's team ? If so, I need credentials to rejoin it.

 

[kemical]

Does the forum still have it's team

Not that I'm aware of...

Not that I'm aware of...

In 2010 Mike did suggest we could have one if enough people were interested.

 

[brkkab]

Yeah, a few years ago there was a team here. That was back in the Vista & 7 era.

Hmm... I can't remember if we ever had a team. I've been here since 2007 and it doesn't ring any bells.

 

[brkkab]

It was back a few years ago. Back when Catilley was still alive. Him & I were both on the team. This is back when all the forums were separate. Windows Vista Forum, Windows 7 Forum, etc.

Anyway, the forum needs a team now. I just restarted folding yesterday. Apparently this pc is a beast compared to my old one. I'm already on the 3rd or 4th set. The old pc took a day for the 1st set. This one was on the 2nd set by the time I got back from the lab yesterday.
This pc is overclocked, though. 4.5GHz all cores and the video card settings listed earlier.
The old one was just the stock 4.0GHz and factory overclocked 760's.

yes the good old days when downloading took a week

 

[brkkab]

Yep, the good old days.

I'll be glad when Monday's over with. I had a doozy at the lab yesterday. I thought after I turned in my 2nd 24 hour urine I was done for 3 months. Wrong, they popeed with a 3rd container for a 3rd test. After Monday, maybe I can find out how bad my kidney disease is.

I joined Maximum PC's Folding@home team.

 

[brkkab]

I can't believe this pc has already done 205,890 units since Friday morning.

kemical: My mistake, it was w7forums.com that had the Folding@home team I used to belong to. I don't care for tenforums.com. The people aren't as friendly there like they were in the forums for Vista & 7. All the regulars I knew ar gone.

Lol, I thought it was odd I couldn't remember anything about it but just assumed I'd missed it..
