NZXT Apollo questions.

Yeah, i could max COD4 with a single card. average 50-60fps

MBGraphics · 03-24-2008, 11:44 PM

Perfect!!

Thats all I really want for it to be able to do, I wont get Crysis right away (that is if I even get it at all)

My computer right now runs at an average of 20, up to 35 on a good day. And if sombody throws a smoke grenade at me, im screwed, my fps goes down BELOW 10....

Were you able to run CoD4 smoothly on just one 3870?

Yep, same here maxed out on 1 x HD3870

btw Corey, what are your FPS on COD4 now with the second 3870?

online caps at 91fps, it never drops unless someone throws a smoke grenade. Then it might touch 80

. I still think its funny, LCD monitors can only display 60FPS

Single player, its usually over 100+. I haven't run fraps much though..

Is CoD4 online capped at 91 FPS, because mine doesn't go any higher either...

#1: About how loud is this case? is it very noticable?

On mine preinstalled with the Nzxt colour blue fans: Yes. And the 2nd one isn't even working at the back

Quote:

#2: how is the cooling? If I get it, should I add another fan in the front?

Cooling with my case on games such as lost planet or HL2 Death match the cooling would go 60-80 celc

Quote:

#3: how hard would it be to install another fan in the front?

No clue. or do you mean the rear?

Quote:

#4: does just the side-fan light up? thats the way NewEgg makes it sound, so just wanted to clarify that.

On my black one you get blue

Quote:

#5: is it difficult to build? any trouble spots?

Mine was pre-built by Komplett so no idea

Quote:

#6: is there any "space" trouble (does it get to cramped inside)

When I opened it if you have it in tower mode (like any other person at the bottom of it theres a bit of space. Enough for me too plug in a Usb external fan and sit it at the bottom

I'm just trying to figure out if I should get this case, or the ThermalTake Armor (the one without the side fan)

Thanks,
Mike

yeah, its capped. I think its to prevent lag or high ping

ramodkk · 03-27-2008, 10:11 PM

Those are some sweet FPS, although yeah, you can't really notice any difference beyond ~60FPS, or is it less?

The human eye can't see anything beyond 60 FPS or somethin blah blah blah.

ThatGuy16 and kornowski- in your consol type in
/cg_drawfps 1
to show your FPS in the top right corne
but after that, go into consol again and type
/com_maxfps 250
and that should open up the cap to 250 max

Thanks again to everybody and their help, it's greatly appriciated

-Mike
