LOL you are running half of it on Medium? No wonder its fast! Can ya set it to 'high' by the default selector and see what it does? Cause you seem a lot higher and there isn't major differences between the 5850 and 6950 aside from the usual performance gains, but not over 25fps surely.. hence maybe I really am CPU fked! I've run FRAPS without a problem? It performs the same no matter what for me and bogs in the same places (co-op)

Im running my Asus SmartDoc for my HD5850 and it's running ok, i mean if i want it clocked i gotta

Putting on a 100mm thick core for a stock setup, ridiculous advice whoever gave it to you. If you want it silver etc, just drop it off and get it stripped. The black is just paint/coating. Any panel or polish joint will do it for a few bucks.

I don't have any problems at all above what I've said. Random kicks is server issues, not your issue. PB will boot you inside of a couple mins if its not working.

Ok now the turtle is in unfortunate animal heaven - lets get back to talking about the AGM... Who's coming?

hahaha a Q6600 ain't gonna be any faster as it wont clock as hard, need to upgrade proper style to get any benefits. Also thinking about a full build actually and dropping about $1200 mobo/gpu/cpu/ram/cooler Will get me something rather tasty I would imagine given I've got everything else Just then gotta debate if i get a SSD or not

Well it's your thread, you tell us?

Well the cat is most certainly out of the bag now, haven't had time to start a thread yet Yep SAU is well aware of it, and has been formally invited a few weeks ago (the flyer has us on it). The organisers (go2space) are actually behind SAU's Banner Ads and some traders, so very involved with us and were in attendance @ the SAU Nationals. Give the calibre of cars we have here within the SAU Community, there is great confidence SAU could place very well in results in every category in what will be one rather epic event especially with the amount of people that will be there... It will just come down to the rules & availability of cars etc. I've the lucky job of organising/co-ordinating this for SAU, so when more information is supplied it will be posted up/distributed etc. Subscribe to this thread is my suggestion!

Just get RDA for a street car, have them on my HR31. Cheaper than DBA and certainly don't have cracking issues. Strict street only use mine have seen though, no track. No point going $$$ as djr81 said if there is no need

I'll be there. I would urge ALL members to come along. We have 280 odd in the club. This is a great meeting to come along to for the year, find out how things are going, ask questions etc.

Given I've seen a few xr6 turbos with R34 GTR wheels on them... You'll be right for sure. You'll just need to make sure you swap out the shafts as well, not just the diff assembly.

A GT3076 is far too big for 300hp. A quick read of the RB25 dyno thread will give you a better idea of what suits.

I wouldn't say better - its just more suited to the purpose as there is for and against for both. If you did video editing and similar you'd see the i7 absolutely romp it

I was meant to be going away that w/e - but It's been cancelled... I might come down for a look-see as i know a few others are racing/spectating, and I didn't get a chance to chat with you @ Nats

Still here!

scratch that - It's just gone down and they changed the outage message to 2hrs @ the same time... Dirty kents!

There is server Maint tonight from 9pm-10pm AEST EVERYONE will be down apparently

Ye but mine is 4, nearly 5 years old. I watch it on a display during the game - two cores sit on 100% almost constantly getting smashed. BF3 definitely uses only 2 cores, however a post here sums it up perfectly: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=32494133 And it's exactly what happens in co-op with my ole E8400 in BF3 For online BF3 it's 95% fine, doesn't occur very often at all so I can live with it for now until I work out what I'm doing to do.

Oh you have 2x 5770? Ye I noticed after upgrading to 11.10 the "stuttering" I had was gone, which was mentioned in the release notes too I clocked the card @ the same time so I wasn't 100% sure that was it, either way it runs good enough!

I'm lvl 10 I think? My bro Cozi01 is 20 or so and he's had about 4 more days playing than i have... But lvl 39 is serious what the f*k.! Around 25-35fps with my set up depending on what's going on. Setting on HIGH when playing online. Despite it being a bit low it actually runs smooth. I over clock my card (its a HD5850 TOP CU), got about 10% out of it and it's nice & stable, doesn't get too hot etc. Could squeeze more if I wanted but gains were diminishing the more I pushed so pegged it back I'll log it tonight for an hour for you if you want? (just a CSV dump). I also "stagger" heaps in co-op on "HIGH", so I think the CPU is bottlenecking a it as online it's fine even with 64 players ULTRA simply won't run online

If something is magically $500 cheaper on a $2000 item, there is always a catch/hidden cost I've found. GCG price from what i can see is: $2312, incl actuator... Procharge price makes no mention of actuator/bracket etc, add another $150+... $2215+ Now here is the nice part... Join SAU NSW, you get a 10% discount (on GCG) & the price is $2152 if you really wanna save $60 (I'm assuming you are going internal gate, cbf pricing it up external) As i said, for something to be over 20% cheaper on such low margin items like turbos - there often something missing.

Not sure where you've been looking but overall if you shop around you can do better. Just looking at their site vs GCG - GCG are cheaper by $60 for 2560R (GTR) so you'd save $120+ Join NSW and get 10% off, makes it over $250 saved Even check SAU Traders - well known businesses and they also often have deals for SAU members further bringing down the price.

Ye its all server issues that im having issues with. My GPU was certainly struggling a little on HIGH Settings. Overclocked it today and it's sweet as now, flawless and no lag unless its the server. I'm usually on [sOB] Killingfields (AUS one) if people wanna find me

Pics & Run down threads: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/253-event-info/ The rest will come later, got a few things to sort out after being MIA from "life" for the past 4 weeks or so

I will hand out warnings again if i need to.
