been quite busy today. when they change the fan for you, didnt you show them the temperature as well? may be they can change the sensor as well?

ps: on second thought, the sensor is probably part of the GPU, to change that, need to change the whole mobo... sweat.gif

I am always a fan of action RPG. So, when Hunted: The Demons Forge released, I do what I must...

Here is a gameplay video for the begining of the game. The game is very smooth with 60-50 FPS, thanks to the Unreal engine. That is running on 1366x768 at max setting without Vsync. In worst FPS, it went down to 40 FPS in Fraps recording. I really like story driven action RPG. So, at the moment, the following games are in my playlist:

1. Fable 3 (Just started, the graphic is too blurry, not my type...)
2. The Witcher 2 (stuck in the town, need to do trouble-some quest to gain money...)
3. Hunted: The Demons Forge (my new love)

Out the the 3, I like the Hunted: The Demons Forge the best! laugh.gif

i cant remember much about the temp in DA2, but i think your CPU is way lower than mine! cool! but your GPU should be higher than mine... may be due to 1.05 volt in 6550 instead of 1.0v in 5650.

anyway, the temperature is cool! nothing to worry about.

anyway, check this out, Darksider 2 is gonna kick ass:

the scoring is insane! as expected of a high end desktop card! i am considering buying HD5850 too! lowest i can find is RM455... wondering if 3820tg can do this?

Manufacturer produced several model of the same card. Like ATI HD 5870, all manufacturer at least produced two model; 1) standard HD 5870 & 2) overclocked version of HD 5870. Mine is standard. Basically both are based on same chipset. So, why not buy standard one & overclock yourself.

If you don't have any plan for SLI or CrossFireX, buy HD 5870, because it is slightly faster than HD 6870. If you plan to setup SLI & CrossFireX in the future (if you plan to buy one by one), buy HD 68xx cards.

Better get HD 5870. No one have tried this on TimelineX yet. Do 3820TG have ExpressCard slot? If not, can use mini-PCIe port. Depend on the mini-PCIe port configuration, you can setup x1, x2 or x4 link.

HD 5870 is better of coz! but it is also much more expensive, as 5850 only selling at RM455! biggrin.gif

3820tg does not have ExpressCard slot... may be i'll try using the mini-PCIe port for this in the future!

NICE MOD!

HD 5850 can too. Hehe. The kit I bought from HWtools.net is around USD 102. Around RM 300. I transfer the money from my bank account to PayPal account (instant transfer). Fast delivery too from Taiwan using FedEx (included in the price). So, total is around RM1225 (eGPU kit + PSU + HD5870).  tongue.gif With HD 5850 can get under RM1k total.

Go to eGPU Experience. You can see list of tested notebooks.

NOT CHEAP! no wonder not many people doing it!

but it sure impressive to see the score coming out from a notebook!

@Fstria: u OC ur 5650 lar, dont go start a war!

but if not u, i dont think they will OC their 550m. kakakak rclxms.gif

good to know the OC capability of 550m. it is getting close to 5650 OC, it is now less than 100 points biggrin.gif

550m (graphic = 1262) vs 5650m (graphic = 1352)

so, 5650 still rulez... brows.gif

unfortunately, many people still think nVidia 540m and 550m like waaaaaay better than 5650... oh well, their lost...

The game is streaming into my HDD now... will benchmark and let you know the result in 12 hours =.=

Apparently, this game really have problem with ATI card since it launched:

http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm...threadid=118976

It runs poorly on ATI card. Was it Catalyst or EA fault? Apparently it's EA:

http://mrgnome.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/ne...ormance-issues/

And it looks like EA fixed that with patch 1.02:

http://www.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118486

It matters not, will let you know my benchmark later. ATI 5650 is same gen with nVidia 335.

I am still quite confident that my OC will beat the crap out of nVidia 335m. Pardon my language. brows.gif

I don't have GT5xxM but I have GT335M. I got 30 - 40 FPS (mixed race - involve a lot of cars).
This is my settings:-
Resolution: 1366x768
Refresh Rate: 60Hz
Anti-Aliasing: 0xAA
Texture Filtering: Anisotropic 2x
V-Sync: On
Car Detail: Medium
Shadow Detail: Medium
Track Detail: Medium
Motion Blur: Low
Texture Resolution: Low

Please play Shift with similar settings & post here lowest & highest FPS you got. Make sure you choose race with a lot of car.
*
Finally download completed. Tested a few lap, the setting is kind of low, but I was able to get between 40-60 FPS in Quick Race with 15 cars. It is mostly on 55++ FPS. The lowest is still 40 since it start with 40 FPS when the race is about to start.

I recorded the gameplay with Fraps. Even during recording, I was able to get 30-40 FPS. (The recorded gameplay are with Tri filtering and all medium setting.)

Hmm.. these are on stock clock, I havent overclock since if there is V-Sync on, I dont see the need to OC...

Ya, this game is CPU heavy. My GPU is 67C without cooler shakehead.gif

The original SF4 is already friendly in term of requirement, but the new SSF4 seem like require even less power! Overall, the game loads MUCH faster, everything seem snappier! I have been looking for this game, I m totally in for Juri... she is mine type of gal~ Long legs... aggressive... nasty... drool.gif

See how aggressive she can be:



And her ultimate:

If Ori, can play online, no issue with keyboard and mouse.

Otherwise, you should not trust those torrent. With those untrusted application, at least make sure you switch off wifi / internet before running the game... laugh.gif especially crack from SKIDROW... something funny is going on with their crack recently...
