I decided to open a Topic about hardware and other shit  Grinn1

Here is a new gaming mouse from Roccat!

- TurboCore Unit (72MHz)
- 5 Profiles for ultra long Makros
- Individuell Lighteffects
- 4 different Weights
- 10 Mousebuttons (8 movable) and 4D-Scrollwheel
- Hybrid-Bodyform for Righthander
- Ultra silent Mousefeet


And here is a website for gaming pc (i think the most of you already knows it):
http://www.combatready.de/default.php (http://www.combatready.de/default.php)

Looks pretty cool.

The "most powerful gaming mouse" with internal flash memory for makros... just record your hammer jump sequence in the driver program, cut the sequence and save it into the mouse memory =)

Would be my choise N° 1 =)

Yes maybe the best gaming mouse on the market this time.

But it costs 70 bucks  :(

Here is my keyboard only costs 30€. Its worth buying it   cwl.)

Edit by VegasKill:  Changed to embed full pictures. Pls don't use the imageshack forum code, thx.

I now have the Logitech G9.
Seems pretty cool!
However, I have to adapt to it...
It was perfect in Windows^^
But when I was in UT3, it was a completely different feeling  :-\

Greets

Worth of 30€? What is so special about it? Mine costed 5€ and got even twice more special buttons...

wait i had a description about it there were 2 nice points

i hope i  can find it

tthx for christmas smiley vegas  Santasmiley12 Santasmiley12 Santasmiley12

If you don't mind spending ~ 50€, its more than just a Mouse:  great2

this mouse pwns!!

The funniest thing is with these weight to make mouse most comfy for your hand  Crazysmile1

I'd really like to buy this mouse. But I'm happy with the 1 I have  ^-^

That's my mouse that i've played with for 5 years or so. I use mouse sensitivity 6000 in game ;) So i can turn quickly :P
This one is optical before that i played ut2003 with a mouse with a ball under and that worked too but u had to clean it now and then.

wasd movement
e for best weapon
q for translocator or hoverboard
ctrl for vehicles entering
space for jump

i use to have f bound to the sound "Boom headshot YEAH!" back in ut200x when there were sounds on the servers :P

my keyboard is nothing flashy either its also a 5 year old logitech but i recently bought a new monitor but i still ahve my old crt here that i use for msn and teamspeak :P

Hehe, thats fits! All I have read from u are u a old school gamer, heggi.  8)

Always make backups twice if its about important data... but I guess movies or series, even if unseen, are not that big loss. Maybe only the Case power supply has gone? Can you take the hdd out of it and check if your PC recognizes it?


I got 4GB ram today and they work as hell:
CLatency 4-4-4-12
840 MHz
Read/Write/Copy all beyond 8GB/second!
reaction time 58ns

My old ram were pretty overclocked (stil slow  embarrassed2) 2GB G.E.I.L.
Latency 5-5-5-18
Read/Write/Copy below 6GB
reaction time 86ns

I will love to work with them (even if I wouldn't need them for UT3 ^^)
Those above are my low latency rigs, below is K_G_'s dominator, wonder about its performance... has higher latency but  ~300MHz higher frequency than mine... we will see who will frag more   wink2.gif)

Hi Vegas,

this is my alien pc =P

i have to update my shit:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (3.24 x 4)
p5k motherboard
ati radeon hd 4850
Zalman CPNS9700led CPU cooler ^^
4 GB of Corsair dominator PC 8500 DDR2 :D
450 gig HD

and some shit monitor 17 inch and shit mouse and shit keyboard.
how can i check the preformance of the ram vegas?

Cool machine K_G_ ! I've done the memtest with everest 2004: tools -> memory and cache benchmark.

clatency = 5-5-5-15
reaction time is 70.5
and the first test gave 7050 reading
second 2721 writing
and the third one was the reaction time i think?:P

1st row is about memory: read/write/copy and latency, pretty self explanatory.
If you got just 2721MB in writing you may take a look in the BIOS.

I'm going to buy a new video card on my birthday...what can you advice? I Need with the cost of no more, than 1500 shekels...(280 euro :( ). I'm going to buy a >painting tablet< (http://) for my computer, so it's expensive...(2300 shekels).

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CymUHNOzL._SS400_.jpg)

Shake that thing =)

PowerColor Radeon HD 4850 PCS+ (512MB GDDR3) is pretty awesome at the time: its a slightly pre-overclocked 4850 with a silent fan (the original one is said to be horrible). Cost: ~150€

If you want to get some more performance you can look for the XpertVision Radeon HD 4870 Sonic, 1024MB GDDR5. It consumes relatively less power with the new 55nm core and has an inbuilt 7.1 Audiocard (so you can record gamesound while being in teamspeak, as you asked once ^^). It costs ~220€.

The 280GTX 285 or even 295 from Nvidia will cost you more than you wanted to spend...
Greets

Yeah, Sova, don't miss this blade to kill ur enemies! Buy a gfx instead of this tablet gfx input.

Hey Vegas and others! If u use 4 GB RAM under Win XP, u have to fix this problem: The OS gives only 2 GB max 4 a program and u have to patch the boot.ini 4 more power!

"The virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB, unless the /3GB switch is used in the Boot.ini file. The following example shows how to add the /3GB parameter in the Boot.ini file to enable application memory tuning:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="????" /3GB"

Hmm, my 2 1GB-rigs are so lonely.  xxxshifty.gif And I can buy another pair for 30€... Or take OC-Rigs? What do u mean?

No, anyway i'm going to buy it, cuz i'm designer and i like to draw...i think my future profession is more important, than game...

Thanks for advices, Vegas, i'll see what i can do.

^^ i has the roccat kone mous

its a very powerfull  and wunderfull mous but last day i dont can scroll    :'(

are i can repair it ?

Argh, sry, its not freeware and I don't have no link ;/


Cool mouse... did you modify your buttons in the drivers? ...try to restart your pc *^^


I know my XP 32 recognizes only 3.3GB, but I will try the boot.ini fix to adress 3 GB to one exe. Thx FoxXx!

i has the rstart my pc and it is the same    =( i dont can sroll

i think the srolling button is damage  :'(

yeah, the situation with your english is complicated :(

The roccat stores all the macros and button configurations in a mouseinternal flash memory. What you save on it once will work until you modify it again, even on other PCs. But if the wheel worked once, most probably it isn't defect, but the mouse is not configured to scroll.

Booh, its not working beside geek bingo.  xxxras.gif

But i found my next mouse: Razor Mamba

http://www.youtube.com/v/P2R1UBHtAwY&hl=de&fs=1 (http://www.youtube.com/v/P2R1UBHtAwY&hl=de&fs=1)

Its wireless and only 1ms delay time, but u can also use a cable. Same buttons like my DeathAdder. Hmm, have to wait 4 lesser price, 130€ is too expensive!  ::)

And if u have to much money, u take a KillerNIC-Network-Card. Costs: Only 150 till 200 Euro! wink2.gif And u can load torrent even if ur PC isn't working! Some Features: Has 64MB RAM, own linux firewall, game priorisation and (in the 200€-version) a heat sink like a big K.  xxxlaugh.gif

Two days before, I was boring after playing UT and surf a bit around. So I found this in eBay:

(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7064/oczgold1et5.jpg)

OCZ RAM 2x2GB Gold Edition (5-5-5-5-18)

And I get them 4 only 30€ from a dealer, not private! Hope, they come quickly...

Holy crap! That's so cheap!

Yeppa! He start his business on eBay and have to attract new customers with cheap prices.  cheesy2

I dont like razer mouses. Their ergonomic sucks big time!

Hand torture!

Indeed.
They are optimized for left- and right-handers.
The disadvantage is they are not as good as right-hander or left-hander only mouses.
When I was in Leipzig (Games Convention) I played a game called Aion with a Razer mouse.
It was ok, I couldn't complain.

However, sometimes it depends on the games.
When I had my Logitech G5, I had problems with some games.
I just couldn't play well with this mouse, but in UT3 it was fine.
Currently, I have the G9 and I think it's fully compatible with all my games^^

Greets

Thats the reason 4 take a DeathAdder. Right handed ergonomic fine thing.  tongue1

There is a new mouse in Europe stores since the beginning of 2009, the Gigabyte "GM-M8000".
It is the °2 in the gaming mouse ranking (Kone °1).

Drivers are AWESOME, like Kone, and ergonomics are even better than Kone's.
The only negative point in a review were the click sounds.
Price ~ 49€.

Table of general gaming mouse properties:




Thats the mouse:

cool im looking forward for this mouse :)

I'm sceptical! It looks like a standard copy, not like the roccat kone. And btw: Why the most gamer mouses haves the thumb buttons over the normal position of my thumb?  ::) And one point: Why they don't build a mouse with two buttons 4 the forefinger?  :)

Today I receive my RAM and will build it in this evening. I was afraid, that this guy could be a betrayer, cuz it tooks so long and his account on ebay was erased.  shit001.gif But today I got it. Puuuh!  8)

hellow, some of u know my pc died recently XD

so im thinking about getting a new motherboard and processor.
does anyone has some advise or sugestions for a motherboard and processor ?

i was thinking about this one: http://www.komplett.nl/k/ki.aspx?sku=408451 (http://www.komplett.nl/k/ki.aspx?sku=408451)

money is no problem  8) but don exagerate with 1000 dollar processors XD

greets mafia

That is a really nice pick mafia. If moniez are no problem take the i940 instead of that i920. Or you can buy some fancy cooling solution instead and try your luck with overclocking that beast. the core i7 is the top line so you can hardly pick a better processor line atm.

yeah i could get the i940, but then i have to buy the motherboard and ram seperate and i HAVE to buy a new motherboard for core i7 because of the new socket and DDR3 and then its more expensive  wasted2

and the motherboard on the pic is wrong i think  xxxlaugh.gif

i searchd for the motherboard on the original site ( gigabyte ) and it looks totaly diffrent  wasted2

this is the good one... i hope, or else i smack their ass XD

They write in many onlineshops "only a example pic". ;D

btw: The decisive attribute is the written specification! Fuck the pics, they lie as hell!  finger1

Hope to cy online soon.

3D Gaming is here

It works great! I've seen it in my market, but there is one disadvantage: The Shutter Glasses has a 60Hz frequency and if you've lightly areas in our side, you'll see this flickering in the corner of the eye. It mades headaches... But awesome 3D effect! O_O

In a few days I'll update my rig.  msn011.gif I already bought the gtx 275 a month or so ago, and now I'm buying a new cpu, mobo and memory. My old a64 x2 5000+ is really slowing ut3 down, I have like 20fps in warfare. UT3 is such a cpu hog.  xxxras.gif But with new hw I'll be unstoppable.  finger1

These are the parts I'm going to buy:

ASUS AM3 M4A785TD-M EVO    88.70EUR
AMD PHENOM II X4 955 BLACK EDITION AM2+/AM3 BOXED    149.90EUR
G.SKILL 4GB DDR3-1600 KIT Ripjaws 9-9-9-24     99.00EUR

DDR3 RAM has really gotten expensive.  msn006.gif During the spring it was like 60€ here, now 100€. The same is for DDR2. I bough 4GB of DDR2 in august for 45€, now they cost 80€. Good thing I could sell those used for the same price I bought them.  whistle2

That looks like a nice rig. That Phenom is a nice overclocker as well. With a bit of effort and some decent cooling you'll reach 4.0Ghz+ np

Do u know guys i have been in swedish championship of overclocking in %. Overclocked a Intel e2140 from 1.6 GHz to 2.7ghz, around 170% with liquid nitrogen. Got the silver ;)

Cool!  xxxw00t.gif

Impressive. Though I value more results done with something that can be used 24/7.

I'll be happy to get that phenom up to 3.8GHz.  msn011.gif I do have an aftermarket cooler, an arctic cooling freezer pro rev. 2. Not the best, but good price.  xxxlaugh.gif

well im also gonne update my 'rig' when the vacation starts, i need a new mobo for sure cuz my current mobo doesnt support the Core2quad q9550

so the new mobo i will order is the asus p5qc
http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=ShiLE9XNeuFKwFDC&templete=2 (http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=ShiLE9XNeuFKwFDC&templete=2)

nice about this mobo is, its supports DDR2 and DDR3  ;D ;D
and because in my current case doesnt fit a ATX size mobo i have to buy a new case ;D ( yeah moree money waste  wasted2 )

this is the case i want http://www.nzxt.com/products/lexa_s (http://www.nzxt.com/products/lexa_s)

not too fancy :P

the only thing that needs to be updated from my 'rig' is the RAM... 3gig @ 667mhz XDXD kinda lame compared to the other stuff  wasted2
if someone sees something shitty about the mobo plz let me know :P

Hahahah told you  msn012.gif

yeah im glad i figuered that out but i can buy a m-ATX mobo that fits my current case, but those mobo's are crap :P

If you didn't use SLI/Crossfire etc. you can take a mATX-mobo. No need 4 waste money!  8)

But if you take a NZXT, I would choose this: http://www.nzxt.com/products/zero/ (http://www.nzxt.com/products/zero/)

greetz

well finnaly evrything came together and this is the result ;D

(http://i50.tinypic.com/iyep75.jpg)

i hope that i dont have anymore problems with it in the future XD

only shitty thing is that my fps is still the same 60-90 fps.. :P

oh poor, poor dnc-mafia  ;D

NO! Now his hardware is black with blue lights and as I mentioned sometimes b4, thats the most important thing if you look for hardware. ;D

- Here we have our newest and fastest graphics card, it has 20 years guarantee and works twice better as any card before and costs 10 times fewer!
- Does it shine with blue lights?
- erm, no...
- Sorry, i don't think that's what i need  xxxlaugh.gif Crazysmile1

Yesterday -before i forgot that im a human on earth- i made some OC and stability test with my new AMD Phenom II 945 (C3 revision) cpu:

http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7484/945c34ghzblend2h.jpg (http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7484/945c34ghzblend2h.jpg)

I bought it from an extreme overclocker guy, he reached WR2 with this cpu, cooled by LN2: http://www.ripping.org/database.php?cpuid=928 (http://www.ripping.org/database.php?cpuid=928)

I hope that lightmyfire will be interested in the results.  msn012.gif

Happy New Year for all!!!

An amd x4 at almost 4GHz! That is the max I can go with my Core2Duo.
You're an environmentalist: no need for heating oil. :DD

Guys, I plan to buy a new headset cuz my old one is rubbish. Noise like athmospherics and hum - therefor I play only arena_of_death with full music. msn012.gif

I look for the Medusa NX but my favorite is the Roccat Kave. Heavy but solid, cable remote, real 5.1 sound, black'n'blue...

Whats your choice?

The Roccat headset is too heavy and has sound problems on the left side, due to the audio controls on that side.

The medusa has no mute controls for the microphone, but is not bad besides that.

My recommendations are the Sennheiser PC 151 for an open speaker or the Logitech G35 if you prefer it surrounding, without no background sounds. 5.1 is useless however, since openAl hardware acceleration doesn't work properly in UT3 and probably everyone plays UT3 with generic stereo.

You should check the list from the homepage www.gamersware.com (http://www.gamersware.com). There you should look which are good, but buy them somewhere else because they are pretty expensive there.

Thanks friends, I'll check this if I'm at home! Now I have only my cell phone... ;D 

Ditch the 5.1 it's hype nothing more. Go for Sennheiser or Koss. Both companies have decades of experience in headphones manufacturing so you can't make a bad choice. I have Koss sb45 but the PC151 are a good choice as well.

My tip: Sennheiser PC350 pretty expensive but I read only good stuff 'bout it.

I got that PC 350, its by far the best ive tryed!

Also using koss sb45. A decent headset for low price. I'm not that into hifi to pay hundreds of euros for something a tad better.

Thx for your advices, I have checked your favorites and my first result are:

Sennheiser PC350 and Logitech G35: Awesome but too expensive (would rather buy Beyerdynamics MX300  8))

Sennheiser PC151/161: The ear cushion is too small for me. I prefer bigger one. It's a pity, bc they have the best microphone ever as I read in some tests. But I notice too, that they haven't enough bass line.  smiley464.png

The Medusa has obviously many quality problems. Thats sucks bc it was my favourite after the Roccat Kave.

Koss SB45 looks great and it's exellent value for money. Its my insider tip atm.

I'm able to get some brands with discount in "my" market. Could buy the Medusa as Stereo for 20€. Or the Kave for 75€ (if it sucks - warranty!). Wherefrom are your informations about the technical problems, Vegas?

It's not true.

Im using a Creative X-Fi Gamer soundcard and a Sennheiser PC151 headset with openai enabled. It's works perfectly, ok, sometimes i hear strange "scratching" sounds but it doesn't disturb me.

Alternate.de user comments.

OpenAL hardware acceleration doesn't crash ut3 anymore since the audio dll files were patched with the titan pack to don't use the audio chip's ram anymore. But why should that be left unused? xD
Now, to use openAL, fucks up some sounds from the spectrum that are available with the generic software settings. (if multiple sound actor classes are played simultaneously or whatever)

The spoken annotations as at the beginning of missions interrupt after some time, the sounds of vehicle actions cause errors, weapons fired at the same time create your 'scratching',.... that's what I've noticed and left me looking  -.-


There is actually a fraud video on youtube that promotes a 30$, extremely superfluous openAL enhancer.

Nice video, Vegas! Now i know what 3D has to do with audio  Crazysmile1

I didn't know he is a hardcore oveclocker, seems like a popular hobby in FIN&SWE :)

I also know one Finnish tech forum he frequents with the same name.   msn011.gif
Oh and as far as I know he's not a HC overclocker, just another enthusiast like me.  afrodd.gif

I never quite understood extreme overclocking, but I guess there's worse ways to spend money.

:) It's always good to squeeze some extra performance out of your components, but you're right with that eXtreme overclocking, it's more for the bragging rights than for normal day to day usage.
