Just maked a script for Grease monkey which replaces your and gihno posts to white space, thanks for improving mine Javascript skills.

Apparently you haven't.. lol.

Well i can still see them anyway even without changes to fern bay, and they weren't there before cracker..

Same for me, i just saw it while i was driving at fern bay. There's lots of them there..

Sorry for going offtopic, but can you send me that curbstone texture please?

Oooh shadow, i so hope you get your ass banned someday..

Alright thanks, that's all i needed to know.

Whaha meesterlijk

How much Power does the 4870 actually require?

Wow, it's amazing how much i learned about GPU's just by reading those 2 pages. I'm sorry about my conclusion that more is better. It seems as if i was totally off.

But, what would be the very best card in my price range (150-200euro's)
Without counting the other stuff i will need. Just the card!
I'm asking this because, after those last pages, i'm getting second thoughts about the 9800GT(X)..

Uhh i think around 200 Euros is the maximum. Lower is better ofcourse
But i was looking at overclockers.co.uk and didn't really find any information about the minimum watts needed for this card:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... PCI-Express)%20-%20Retail
But i do see that the radeon is only @ 675 MHz, while some 9800GTX'
Run at 775 MHz. Doesn't this mean they're better/faster?

I think i'm gonna go for the 9800GT(X), or would i better off with a 260/280??
I honestly have no clue what to get. I want to stay updated for a while though, and it will mostly be for playing games and such.

The psu is just a little box on the top right corner at the back right? That's isn't onboard, is it? I think i am going to need to change it ofcourse, as it's just the standard one providing 350W.
How much should i have for a new GFX card? 550-700W right?

Since we're on it already,
I also have a store-bought pc, but i can't really find which motherboard is in there.

I recon it's some bad one, but i just bought it with a Q6600@ 2.4 GHz too, 2 GB Ram, also it had some standard card in it so i replaced it for a 8600GT.

Now.. would a motherboard in a store-bought pc actually support most of the newer videocards (9800GT(X)/(S))? Or just burn out at the first startup? As i'm not satisfied with the 8600GT. LFS runs great with it (1680x1050 60Hz, 32 bit, 4xAA and 16x filterthingy) at around 80-130FPS max, but the newer games like Crysis and cod4 don't quite run great on it somehow.

Especially Crysis (10 fps ) Thats why i'm interested in buying like a 9800GT or something like that (no i'm not that rich!) Would a store-bought motherboard support that, do you know if there are some pretty good motherboards in those most of the time? Oh i bought it like a month ago. The brand is fujitsu siemens.

Sorry for going that OT on your topic jonnydank !

Excuse me for the bump. But i figured out which motherboard i've got, after taking it apart to check for dust;
MSI MS-7379

Now, i've asked if it would support the newest cards, and i found this about the slots from the motherboard;
Slots:
- One PCI Express 16X slot for PCI Express X16 graphic card.
- One PCI Express 1X slot.
- Two PCI 2.3 32-bit Master PCI Bus slots. (support 3.3v/5v PCI bus interface).

So.. would a new card work on that motherboard? Jakq??
Thanks in advance.

Don't listen to shadow. All he posts is useless crap.

Dat 0nly 4 Piampz & c@diLl@cs

I'll try it out right now. Nice FPS by the way

EDIT; now i see it, it's the layout that's causing the fps drop.. obviously

Here you go, the FZ_leather3 is the dashboard texture from the xrt which i've darkened. And the interior is also in there as you requested

Yes ofcourse, i will post it when i get home

It's just the Nissan silvia interior i DLed here but i only made it a bit darker so don't expect much.

Yeah my downshift flappy paddle also broke in a month. I'd suggest to still save up for the time it takes to buy a proper wheel, the G25

Quote from george_tsiros :

he suggested overclocking an already very fast processor, way faster than what is needed for LFS, even at high graphical settings (Where the problem is the gpu, not the cpu anyway).
It is completely pointless.

plus, the 3.2 p4 is not faster than a 2.4 core2. even the 3.6GHz Extreme Editio ... the 1.8GHz, 'slow' core2, in every game. let's not talk about a simple 3.2 p4 being faster than a 2.4Ghz Q6600... that is ridiculous... the q6600 is about twice as fast as the 3.6GHz EE p4...

You saying that made my day !
But even faster then the extreme? How is that possible? doesn't more GHz equal better performance?

I also drift with those!

White carbon TA-05 Still WIP, gotta get a new diff first.





And my z-tune body






Actually, even if it is far from realistic, they drift great.. well, mine do. It's your own fault if you can't set up your RC right for drifting..

Yeah the PSU indeed is only like 350W.
I think i'm gonna go for like 700W or something just in case
Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Which PSU should it be, something like this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... duct.php?prodid=CA-008-CS
or this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ ... %20Modular%20ATX2.0%20PSU
