ALPHA17 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 If I was looking to upgrade, I would hold on till Broadwell -Devil's Canyon is really tasty only if you want to overclock a lot ( Not saying its bad though - i7-4790K looks tempting). And you don't need Z97 for it - most Z87 boards will get firmware updates to support this. Sound advice if only the person in question has a pc currently, else if you are purchasing one in the near future, Devil's Canyon is the best bet coupled with a Z97 board. DDR4 prices will be high initially for sure - they will come down only after a year or so. Won't make a lot of sense to go for it unless you do a lot of video/photo editing. Yes, I remember purchasing DDR3 RAM for a premium before it dropped in price between 2011 -->12, only to go up again last year.

Ph3N0M Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 So when will DDR4 memory start shipping again? Will it make it to Black Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 So when will DDR4 memory start shipping again? Will it make it to Black Friday? It is not out for general consumer production. I think only the latest Intel server line supports DDR4 as of speaking, if I am not mistaken. Sent from my ST27i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph3N0M Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Won't the next line of Intel motherboards support them, or am I recalling imaginary things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadwell would be the first consumer processor from Intel to support DDR4 memory. Sent from my ST27i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Latest ones aren't always the most stable ones. Then get one preceding that, although you might have lowered performance in the latest releases then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bene-violent! Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hey guys, bought this config about 5 years ago (6th May 2009). Honestly speaking, I am currently not too gaming oriented. I play small games and some action adventures.. Was wondering how many more years will this config serve me. Biostar TA790GX 128MPhenom II X3 720 Black Edition2 * Transcend DDR2 2 GB 800 Mhz Palit HD 4850 Special Sonic DDR5 I feel like I am crawling out of my rock now. So can someone share a good place to discuss pc related stuff in detail (in or out of this forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdulah Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Is it better to buy R9 280x or wait for nvidia 8xx release for Witcher 3 ? I have a 560ti currently . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Is it better to buy R9 280x or wait for nvidia 8xx release for Witcher 3 ? I have a 560ti currently . Hold off a purchase till as close to the game release as possible. Get the next family of cards if possible. If the price is prohibitive, consider your options then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lord Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Does simple copy paste works for backing up origin games? M thinking to take a back up of NFS Rivals as I'll uninstall the game. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Assassin's. Creed.. Yet to play 3 n 4. Looking forward to batman ak. Played city with no problem. Most indies and platformers like limbo n pac man For indies and other games of that graphical calibre your PC is tip-top. For Assassin's Creeds latest iterations, you will need to do a comprehensive refit and upgrade. Does simple copy paste works for backing up origin games? M thinking to take a back up of NFS Rivals as I'll uninstall the game. Copy the entire sub-folder under ORIGIN Games to be 100% sure. If the game does not support game saves sync, then you shall lose all your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varundbest Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Game saves should be in appdata in Ur user account documents in C:\ AFAIK.... To be precise - C:\Users\Username\AppData\NFS C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\NFS Edited June 10, 2014 by varundbest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Does simple copy paste works for backing up origin games? M thinking to take a back up of NFS Rivals as I'll uninstall the game.Yes, it supports that. Be careful while re-installing, you need to start+pause the download, and then replace the folder. If folder exists and you start download in Origin, the folder gets deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorCodePurple Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 So my rig is complete I'm going to post pictures soon, but right now my immediate concern is the damn ups. I had to buy a 750 watt PSU as the R9 290 was refusing to run on seasonic 660 bronze certified. And I am buying a ups only for a 2 sec interim period when the light goes of and the backup generator takes it back on. Besides this, it will take a while for this ups to come. Should I not use the pc entirely until it comes. Or can I risk it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereby your system will also be affected. Which 750W SMPS did you purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
