Okay so where are we playing? I want to get me some Planetside on

[Siquo]

I'm about to enter East2 on the NC side. Bay12Siquo is the name.

Update is slow...  be there in a minute.

Wow, I realized this morning how long it has been since I built my computer. 45 months. Guess it's about time to upgrade. I'd been saving a bit of money every month for an eventual computer upgrade, so by now I have a nice chunk of change to upgrade with. Never one to do anything half-assed, I settled on replacing just about everything. Went ahead and ordered a new mobo, one of the newer i7 3770 cpus, a gtx 480 gpu, and 16gb of memory. Also grabbed windows 7 and an ssd. Only things that will remain in my case is my dvd burner, PSU, and hard drives for extra storage.

Compared to my old system (dual core e8600 @ 4ghz, GTX 260 video card, and 4gb of memory) this one should be significantly better. The GPU is at least twice as powerful as the old one. The cpu is probably pretty similar core-for-core, but the extra two should be nice. And four times the memory, although 16gb is probably overkill at this point - but who knows how memory hungry programs will get over the next 3-4 years before I get around to upgrading again.

Should be able to run PS2 well once I get everything put together. So some time in the next week I'll be playing with you guys without random freezes screwing me over

Anyway, logging in now to play a bit. Spent all morning shopping for computer parts, so it's about time for me to shoot something.

You probably won't be able to run it on high at 60 FPS with that. I'm using a 460 and I'm able to run it on mostly medium settings with a few things on high and a few things on low, with render quality 100% at 1920x1080 (with a second monitor on at the same time). I don't consistently get 60 FPS, but I'm consistently at 30+.

Then again, that is a better CPU than I have (i5-750), and more memory (I have 4 GB), so it should be interesting.

The 480 is quite a bit better than the 460 too. Not sure how accurate the site is, but a quick google found this: http://www.hwcompare.com/8739/geforce-gtx-460-1gb-vs-geforce-gtx-480/ showing around 50% better performance on most stuff (it also eats that much more power, so theres that). The PassMark scores are about 50% better too.

Will be interesting to see how well it runs. I'd be happy enough to get good fps without freezes on medium. My current rig can't even run it on low

The 460 is actually only about 35% better than my old GTX 260 if the benchmarks are right.

I'm getting on east 2 right now, hopefully this goes better then last nights attempts

[PrimusRibbus]

Hmm

[adwarf]

How do you unlock the anti-air weapon and the flamethrower for the NC MAX unit?

[Shadowlord]

Either have a character who existed before they were moved to the store, or buy them in the in-game store (shopping cart icon) for auraxium.

O_O So expensive ...

[adwarf]

If somebody wants to some air support would help in Dhaka

[Paul]

Gah, I keep crashing every few mins. Think that's it for me, crashed 7 times so far in the last couple hours.

[Siquo]

I get those crashes, too. Usually after 5 or 6 or so I usually quit for the night
