So three questions: 1) any reason why my ping varies so much over running speedtest repeatedly over a few minutes (reaching same server any time) 2) could my roommate have some settings on his asus router that slows down twitch (there's no one else on network atm though so even if it were some QoS thing?) 3) is there any reason that my wifi is awful in windows 8 and, can I fix it? | ||

in the lategame my fps drop till the game dosent run fluid anymore. is one of those obv. much weaker than the rest so that id would be enought to only replace 1 part? 1) Intel Core2 duo CPU 3 GhZ 2) 4GB SSD RAM 3) Gefroce GT 430 1GB DDR3 | ||

GT430 is a very very weak card (i assume you are playing on low or something if not, try it) so you would probably have to replace it to run things well, which might involve replacing PSU etc - but the CPU is not good at all either and replacing it would involve new motherboard, RAM etc. | ||

So, is the requirement for Hots very similar to Wol? If so that I can be pretty happy because likely I can play hots if I can play wol right? There shouldnt be massive difference right? | ||

I'm about to change to a Steelseries mouse which uses CPI instead of DPI as measurement. I want to have the CPI that's equal in value to 800 DPI. How would I go about getting this? | ||

Is this because I need 4 cores instead of 3? Thanks! | ||

It seems when I stream anything that runs on multiple cores (IE 2) and I just to record / stream with xSplit I get massive FPS reduction. I have a triple core processor 3.2Ghz and 4GB of RAM. Is this because I need 4 cores instead of 3? Thanks! It's expected to lose a lot of performance, try out OBS for slightly better game performance Your CPU is most likely an Athlon II x3 which is a really poor performer relative to recent CPU's, "ghz" and core counts mean very little in terms of performance.This might enlighten you some, the Phenom II x4 695 BE (a CPU better than yours in every way) against the 3570k, which has the same amount of cores and runs at the same clock speed. Poor CPU performance means you cant push up resolution*fps encoding settings etc without loading the CPU too much, but much much more importantly it means the game will run much much worse, streaming program or not. The performance loss from any streaming program being active is just icing on the cake | ||

Windows 8 is a tiny bit faster with things like booting and such, but comes with the annoying new interface (which you can mostly circumvent with third party tools). For actual ingame performance it shouldn't matter which you pick. | ||

Does it really make a difference if you don't choose the most correct one? No. These type of settings were typically used to differentiate between dialup and broadband connections. DSL and cable, while different in technical implementation, are both low-latency high-bandwidth connections that can handle whatever a game wants to throw at it. | ||
