i5 2550k did not go down much with 3570k being the current design. It's only 5 € cheaper or something.

My hunch is, with the help of modern data processing, the businesses got very good at guessing how much can possibly be sold, are not keeping much in storage and not buying too much from Intel, so prices don't go down.

I hate to be the guy who posts specs and asks for settings. But, was looking for some help.
I get about 7-8 mb/s upload
i7 3770k @ about 4.2 ghz
2 x gtx 660's sli'd (pretty sure that doesnt matter)
z77 sabertooth mobo
800w corsair psu
8 gb vengeance ram

Could I stream 1080p? It's hard for me to judge my stream since they always lag on my laptop regardless.

Probably. Why don't you just try it and ask a friend to watch it?

YMMV based on your game of choice. I'm assuming SC2.

^Depends on the game a little, but yep, fine. Try with SLI disabled/enabled in a reproducable benchmark to test performance.

You will always lose FPS and performance but it's much more manageable with a good system to run the game/s well.

Ideal settings would be 1920x1080, 45fps, veryfast, 4000kbit on a good server. Any issues, go down from there (either lower resolution*fps - or lowered bitrate - depending - dont touch preset) and not up.

The game will run smoother, for you, at lower resolutions and particularly lower framerates on OBS/Xsplit, if you want to use 960x540@30fps or something to minimize impact - on my system for Xsplit gamesource (i have exact data for it, it's what i used to use) we are talking 15% FPS lost for 960x540, 30fps vs 44% lost for 1920x1080, 45fps (AFAIK OBS can beat this number, but not by much, whatever you do hurts for high resolutions and framerates) - as well as the performance degradation that you can feel even at high framerates (>200) that is very hard to describe

Hey,

Recently I've been having trouble with Google Chrome, specifically its Google search feature. All other services such as Gmail work. I've found a temporary solution in the form of using CCleaner to clean everything related to Google Chrome. After using CCleaner, it will work until I restart my PC. Then it will stop working again.

It also says this, when I use the search feature: Error 15 (net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED): Unknown error.


Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello, I have very old pc, specifications :
AMD athlon 64 dual core 6000+
nvidia nforce 570
nvidia geforce 8800 gt
2 gb ram

I wanted to ask if it would make sense to buy another 2 gb ram for it to run sc2 better or it wouldn't do much difference? I can run 1v1 200/200 on low smoothly but with hots the game is loading very long, for example the campaign. I am total noob at computer parts so I am asking u for advice.

Thanks

Sorry, but i dont think you have any idea what smoothly means o.0

Check in task manager to see if you are maxing RAM, if you are, load times and some aspects of performance could improve by adding more - its pretty much a futile gesture though with such an ancient system.

I bought the TW version of SC2:WoL to ladder on KR, and I bought the US version of SC2:HotS and added it to my TW account. It's my only SC2 account. I later found out that HotS follows the language of WoL. I thought that with Global Play, you could use any region-UI language-voice assets combination you wanted in the official client itself, and where some modifications couldn't be made, there were relocalizers.

I noticed after I bought HotS that I could only download a Chinese version of SC2 from my account. I got to download the enUS version by changing the URL. I let the enUS SC2 client download, then I logged in. The client tells me that the enUS language is not available for my account.

I've tried these relocalizers to change it to English:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=357860 (2.0.x, didn't work, even after changing the lines in variable.txt localX, localY from zhTW to enUS)

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=358064

And they didn't change anything. My client is still in Chinese. Does this mean I have buy the English version again? Is there a workaround for this that you know of?
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

I have an interesting bug with the Steam client regarding maximizing it. There are others on Google with a similar issue, but I didn't find any resolution for it.

I have four monitors. Left to right, 1680x1050 (duplicated), 2560x1440, 1680x1050. If I maximize on the left or middle monitor it will properly maximize, but if I maximize on the right it will maximize to a resolution much larger than the screen size (my guess would be its using the resolution of the middle monitor).

I don't suppose anyone knows a quick fix?

y sound acts weird. When I start some programs, the sound on other programs running go down to 10%. Example:

When I connect to a skype call. My spotify and dota goes down to 10% sound.
When I connect to a dota game (not when im starting the program). My spotify and my stream running goes down to 10%.

Is there some kind of option to change this in windows?

I've had something similar and that was due to a setting in my realtek software. I'm not sure exactly what's the translation is (mine is in Swedish) but it's something like "sound strength equalization." When I removed that feature it stopped behaving in that way you describe. If you have something other than realtek I have no idea sorry.

I do realize this is in Tech forum, but I have a question to anyone with a TL hoodie.

What is the armslength of it in M/L/XL. (Measured from armpit and out.)?

I've got a weird sound issue going on that I hope is a super simple fix that i'm just not aware of. When I am running SC2 and I plug in my headphones, whatever is playing in the background of my laptop, like music or a stream, switches to playing over my PC speakers with SC2 either in my headphones, or mute and i have to change the output device under sound options. I cannot figure out how to have my background music/stream play through my headphones at the same time as SC2. Any Ideas?

Try setting default devices in playback options from right clicking the little audio button at bottom right of windows - if it fails, you can disable some devices and enable when you want to use them - disable the setting around there too under advanced tab/options for exclusive mode

Thanks, it was the exclusive mode options that did the trick.

For whatever reason when I install most programs they will spin on the initializing setup for ages (often 20+ minutes), then once they start they will finish at normal speed. I only install things to my SSD drives (my HDDs are just for bulk storage). The boot drive is the same one I used for about a year in my old PC, but was reformatted and installed clean when I built this machine.

I don't know what to do to fix this.

What kind of programs? Where are the programs being installed from exactly (e.g. from install disc, from .iso file on hard drive, .exe installer on SSD)? What's the model of the SSD? How much space is remaining? What OS are you running?

Does the time seem to depend on the kind of program you're installing? Is there any other drive access other than the SSD? CPU utilization is what? Any kind of antivirus / malware software scanning every file or every new file in the system?

Doesn't matter: games from steam, games from CD, games from DVD, utility software from online, utility software from discs, Office 2007 from DVD, etc.

Windows 7.

The type of software doesn't matter. CPU utilization is close to nil, only anti-virus is Window's Defender.

In most cases I doubt there's any other drive access, especially in cases where it's being installed from an exe in the downloads folder to the same drive, but it doesn't seem to matter which drive things are being installed to. There aren't file transfers or anything going on at the same time.

The boot SSD is 98GB free (240GB) (OCZ Agility 3) which performed without incident in the old system. The other SSDs are an extended pair of 512GBs with 432GB remaining (Samsung 830). None of my HDDs have less than ~700GB free.

I had something perhaps similar and didn't fix it, it fixed itself. The setup programs hung only for a minute or two for me, not 20. It was definitely the antivirus, MSE on Windows 7, but I've also seen it with Windows 8's Defender on another PC. You could try turning MSE off to see if it is the cause.
