EPTIt's way too common to see them underbuilt to the point where they can't even handle lighter loads and dont have a chance on even normal operation with cpu and gpu simultaneously

What's your before/after FPS? What CPU is it? Grab Hwinfo (www.hwinfo.com), use it to check CPU load per core and GPU load when ingame, but tabbed out. The training level is good for that. you can alternately check those with task manager performance tab (cpu, looking at each core individually) and msi afterburner/gpu-z (gpu) Whenever i'm looking at performance i've always got those up on a second screen and usually it tells you useful or at least interesting information It's easy to imagine a situation like you being CPU bound and not maxing either GPU, like for example: CPU can handle 100fps gts450 can handle 120fps on low 750ti can handle 300fps on low ^you wouldn't be able to tell a difference between them, game would run at 100fps anyway. But if 450 could handle 40fps on max and 750ti could handle 120fps, then you'd tell difference with the same weaker CPU if you turned up settings because the 450 wouldn't keep up. 30fps difference, unless that's a very big portion of your FPS (weak cpu??) i find that hard to take into account because it could very easily be placebo or user error unless you specifically recorded a benchmark run. It's easier to work with facts than human memory in my experience | ||

Do you hear the difference on that 3 different audio-model too if you use active loudspeaker? | ||

Do you hear the difference on that 3 different audio-model too if you use active loudspeaker? For ideal realizations of the three, possibly, but depends on the circumstances. On actual motherboards and systems the performance you get isn't what's listed in the more idealized test circuit and on the spec sheet, so it depends on the actual system. You wouldn't be able to say which audio output is better for a given motherboard based on which chip or features it lists. If, for example, you were to look at SNR specs and so on, I doubt those are met on actual motherboards, especially for the ALC1150 where the number quoted is higher. (but actual SNR probably doesn't matter much if used with most active loudspeakers in most listening rooms as ambient and internal speaker amp's noise floors may well be higher anyway) You wouldn't know without testing the systems in question, so you probably shouldn't read too much into which is used. | ||

I dont read anything :D If I compare technical specifications from all motherboards of all branded articles (Gigabyte, AsRock etc) at H87 or H97. ALC is the only one difference besides price. Example: http://geizhals.de/?cmp=1107996&cmp=948180&cmp=1107992&cmp=950971 | ||

Also should I reapply the Large Adress Aware thing after adding more RAM? | ||

If those 10 FPS you see are not with some sort of freezes and super choppy, if you see the game still go on smooth (except "smooth" with those super low FPS of course), then the extra RAM won't change anything about your FPS. Added RAM might only help with loading times and how fast the desktop works again after you quit a program that used all of RAM and stuff like that. | ||

Does that simply mean they run reliably, but at a lower rpm? eg: http://www.ncix.com/detail/western-digital-red-3tb-sata3-a0-74269-1493.htm Pretty much. NAS drives are usually a little slower but they are supposed to be fairly durable and reliable. | ||

My other concern is the fact that its only 5400 rpm. If im only using the drive for media (i.e. anime, movies, music etc), would I notice the speed difference? | ||

It's fine and feels surprisingly fast compared to the old Samsung 1 TB 7200 RPM drives I had before. | ||

Here's my motherboard: Foxconn G31MX I'd be worried you are wasting your money doing this, and it will still run at 10 fps in big fights afterwards. I'd only do it if you find a very cheap, used 2x1GB RAM kit on eBay or some second-hand PC shop (meaning you'll have 4 GB in the PC). If you can't find a very cheap RAM kit, it should be smarter to save the money for the future. Your 32-bit Windows 8.1 key will also work on 64-bit Windows 8.1 which will enable 4GB. You just have to find a download for the disc image somewhere online. With 64-bit Windows, you could also use any other amount of RAM, could upgrade to 6 GB for example (1+1+2+2 GB sticks). Switching from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows will need a complete reinstallation of Windows. An upgrade where you keep all programs and settings is not possible. | ||
