I thought C&C 3 requirement not that high in processing power.I was thinking it needs more graphic processing power.

Another user here waiting for HD3xxx AGP.

I see.Intel mobo cap leak? Between,your Asrock mobo comes with internal grpahics,it's good already as you can still o/c a little bit.

i got 9xxx agp!! dont play play. XD but is radeon lo... not nvidia. hehe...

@reaperofsoul
wao..... not exceed 70C?? mean somewhere 60++?? not healthy la..... try maintain it below 60C.

@raymond5105
Lol.. Edmin say he tried with Athlon 64, 2GB ram and 76GT on C&C3 it was butter smooth thou. But in fact, 76GT should be able to hold this game well. I face when in crowded scene. Especially when whole bunch of army group together and attack.

@barry80
Go grab the ATI HD 3series AGP now!!! Then sell me ur X1950PRO @ RM200.. Hahaha.. Jk jk! Btw, the AsRock mobo was rocking stable. Owned 2 of them before.. Well.. No doubt for its performance as it was from Asus.

@kabukiawie
Haha.. I was what will nvidia next series of card call after the 9 series. Since i know about PC thingy start until now, nvidia has been evolute from Geforce 4 until now Geforce 9.. 9 generation in less then 6 years time i guess.

@

@fylon,C&C 3 is really nice. Recently just try to play with skirmish hard enemy. I guess your proc is just now if you run on 3.8GHz since you said your game isn't that smooth when in group attacking.But i believe the GC is also one of the main hardware as it renders pictures too!

it is more likely the CPU usage AI computation+on screen units rendering, all taxing CPU. Simple example if you wanna know it is GPU or CPU bottleneck. drop your resolution/details and run the game again. If it still lags with multiple AI units on screen, then u can confirm is CPU bottleneck.

Added on February 28, 2008, 5:46 pmheh, me and kabu was there since long ago, even before geforce series. still remember TNT Vanta from Nvidia, struggling hard to beat Voodoo. Nvidia emphasize more on Direct3D while 3dfx promoting Glide. Suddenly these buggers from nvidia 'swallowed' 3dfx alive!

i can play cnc3 at custom settings made out of low and medium... looks acceptable but will lag when the army is too big or when u fire the ion canon... lolx! i love the ion canan's effect at full effect... watched it b4 on my fren's 8800gt ^^

@ kabukiawie

Im trying hard to make my processor burn so that can get new rig

I consider this computer kinda good already Served me well for 4 years . Can still play Crysis wei

@raymond5105
Lol.. Gonna test out edmin suggestion to see whether either is the GPU or the CPU is bottlenecking the game.

@Edmin
Yea.. The 1st GC that i use was the TNT. Hm.. Its 32mb type if im mistaken. Forgot already. But now.. Dont think it still exist lo. Rarely to find it at garage sales as well. Haha..

@Redundant
Ever tried with prostreet? Haha.. Never had a chance to touch wit bioshock thou. Wander our game tester here Edmin test this game with his rigs yet.

Bioshock, tested. Runs smooth (40-60fps) in medium-high settings, 1024 x 768, 76GT + P4 3.3Ghz + 2GB RAM.

@fylon,
haha, my comp cant even run most wanted smoothly... can to adjust to lowest settings which makes it look suckier than ps2's... better off playing it on the console

btw, my 9550 can only run at AGP 4x due to my mobo =/
as for using it for anime... so far i've collected 90GB of anime on my hard disk... lolx... dragon ball z took almost 40GB already ><

@edmin and fylon,i'm using 1280*1024 resolution in the game on my 9550. Average i can get average 30FPS in the game. Is that good enough?I tried before 1024*768,it was giving the same framerate too.

@redundant
easy only, sponsor the cpu to me and get yourself a new pc. jk jk

me also 9550 user. XD

@fylon
Edmin is old bird in gc. i knew him when he crazying on voodoo3 that time. hoho....... many years lo....

bro, cnc3 engine is capped at 30fps

Added on February 28, 2008, 7:20 pmbro, i recalled, i started the 3D craze in 97, after sick of s3 Virge i was even a crew of a foreign 3rd party 3dfx drivers modder team for creating tweaked drivers package, and it does make a difference for lots of enthusiasts, especially when we tried it on NFS3, hehe... those were the days.

@ed
haha...... s3 virge i still not knowing you yet. when i know you that time all people crazy about 2 x voodoo3 pci.

@Ray
seems 9550 have good performance in cnc3. want to try it on my both rig.

i looking for hl2 both episodes. keke...... hand itchy again.

9550XT shoud hav higher clock speed than 9550GE rite? o.O

@kabu,ya you may try the gc with this game.Quite good with the default settings in the game.

@Redundant , 95XT is a bit faster than the GE version in core and memory speed.

if wan to used 3 unit of hdd, let say 80g,200g and 320g.What is the best psu to use and how many watt..if say i'm also got used 5 fan..(3 unit of 8cm and 2 unit of 12cm)..

You are using same socket with us?Suggest at least a 450w psu to run on them.

@Tanakwagu_noh
450 true power psu should be enough....if u r very heavy user and need to on da comp 24 hour...i suggest 500watt true power....
u might wanna try Enlight and HEC this two brand psu.....i got a streamyx customer which is using Enlight psu over 20 years....still rocking and stable.

Im using the same amount of harddisk and overclocking Currently using Enermax FMA II 460W . Its kinda worth it for the price i paid RM 199 only
