    Official - Unigine Valley Benchmark Ranking thread

    I like the graphics portion of it, but for some reason the drop in FPS comes from just changing from one render to the next one. The drop in FPS doesn't even appear when graphics are being drawn on the screen.

    motherboard arrived.....BUT!!!!!

    OK, another quick question, Is there that much difference in the use of resources between Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8? I'm mainly a gamer on the PC and I'm picky about my FPS in games. I haven't searched around yet but has anyone here personally experienced a jump in FPS going from Windows 7...

    Old computers basically unusable with modern software?

    Always if you're having problems with your graphics being sluggish or jittery you start looking for updated drivers to see if there are any; so I say go ahead and try installing the 10.2 drivers for your card and see if that makes a difference. It's not gonna hurt it to try.

    Computer Specs, Since the frying from local shop.

    ^---What he said, I understand you're trying to be a good guy, but look what they did to your system. They should replace the parts free of charge and maybe even throw in a little extra memory or something else in the system to satisfy you. They're taking advantage of you. Don't pay any bench...

    Different white screen to others problem :(

    OK, the quickest and easiest fix would be to reinstall Windows, but I don't know if you are willing to go that route. Is there any important data that you need to try to save?

    Another computer for myself

    Why not go ahead and get the i7? You will probably hate yourself later for not going ahead and biting the bullet and just doing it.

    Different white screen to others problem :(

    Whenever you bring up the task manager, is Explorer.exe running in the processes? If it's not go into File/new task(run) and type in explorer.exe and see if the desktop will appear again...even if for a short time. OR.... Method 1 Step 1: You may try to boot the computer in safe mode. Refer...

    Old computers basically unusable with modern software?

    OK, I may have missed it in previous posts, but what video card is in your system. Is it onboard...meaning built into the motherboard, or is is a PCI-e card? If it's onboard, what motherboard do you have? If it is an PCI-e card, which brand is it? AMD/ATI or an Nvidia Geforce?

    weird sequence happening when booting up

    It may be time to put a new HDD into the machine. The last time I had problems with the "deleting index entry" problems in chkdsk it was the hard drive. And since you say this is a fresh install on the HDD sounds like it is definitely time to replace it. You might be able to do a fresh install...

    Help!!!!!!!!!!

    According to some sites I just searched, they say the 6850 is better then the Geforce 520. There's no need to repost a question, as a lot of people here don't just sit here and wait for questions to be asked. Give them some time.

    Antivirus program Poll

    Skype process cannot be killed

    I would say go into safe mode, uninstall skype; then go through your hard drives directory and locate anything that has to do with skype and delete it. Reboot, and go to skype homepage and download it from there. Don't download skype from anywhere else but the skype website. You might be able...

    CPU Fan Hyper 212 Evo

    Not ALL motherboards have that option and without knowing the motherboard the OP has, you can't say that his board will control 3 pin fans the way he's wanting them too. Three pins cant do fan speed, it's the 4 pin the lets the mb use pulse with modulation. (pwm). also you need to have fans...

    Old computers basically unusable with modern software?

    If you just reinstalled the OS on this computer and it's sluggish right off the bat, the drivers for the video card need to be installed. I've noticed this when reinstalling that my display was very sluggish and any videos had a lot of stuttering in them. Then I would install my graphics drivers...
