My question. Playing witcher 3 my proc isn't gettting used at all (2500k) running at like 20% but my 560 448 core is maxed out. Ram seems to only be using about 4.7 gigs ish. Any idea how I could move the load around to get better performance or something? or is my only option for better graphics a new card? | ||

Also is MSI afterburner an alright OC option? Also roughly how many fps can I realistically get out of OC'ing? | ||

Also is MSI afterburner an alright OC option? Also roughly how many fps can I realistically get out of OC'ing? MSI AB is good. Most of the options in Witcher 3 was just GPU heavy, my CPU seemed to be able to handle 250+fps at least when no NPC's were around. The hard hitting GPU settings are probably foliage rendering range, still hairworks (they changed it some though) - after that i think ambient occlusion and shadows. OC gains are usually more like 5-10% for GPU, but it depends a lot on the specific GPU and if you have proper cooling for it and the right settings available. For some cards, it can be way more (over 20%) but that's usually reserved for the big GPU's which are effectively underclocked to reduce power usage and increase efficiency. A 980ti that uses 250w for 80fps is much more impressive to many people than one that uses 375w for 96fps, even if that is a raw 20% performance gain. ^Most of the time, a GPU OC will just improve whatever gameplay you had, if you're already having trouble then you'll probably not be happy either way. There's plenty of room for a GPU upgrade with a 2500k if you're not happy with 560 performance any more after adjusting graphical settings | ||

Think I can grind out enough performance and settings so I'm happy with my experience (I'm not really dissatisfied at the moment) so I can hold out for new tech. Glad I sprung for the 448 instead of the standard card. Those few % in performance are making all the difference for my personal experience. Thanks again both people that helped. | ||

thing is, the first step when you register on zoho, is to enter a domain name that will be associated/linked with your mail(it's mandatory). obviously i entered a bullshit domain since i don't own one so my question is: - does that fake domain or the lack of a validated domain can comeback and bite me in the ass?(get my mail invalidated/closed/deleted or something like that). | ||

-Is battle.net down? I doubt it, since I tried to log in to 3 different servers. -Has someone installed some kind of firewall in the network blocking services like battle.net? I have not heard about anything like that, and is there any way to bypass it? Thanks! | ||

Hmm... this is far beyond my computer expertize:-( I got a list running extremely fast when I wrote netstat -an. Any way I can see if the network is blocking things out? | ||

the thing is, i think you need to type that command on the server not on your PC. Edit: or netstat –an 1 | find "1024" (replace 1024 with the port you use to connect to battle net) the command will check every second and show the results if a process(game) starts listening on TCP/battle net port. other that that i don't know; there are programs you can install to check(from the outside) what ports are opened. stuff like 'shields up!' or port scanners but i can't help you with those | ||

on that list, check the numbers under Foreign Address: the numbers before ":" are the IP address and after it are the ports. if you see ports other than :80 and/or :443 you should be good. the thing is, i think you need to type that command on the server not on your PC.

I do not have access to anything like the server. On the internet, it seems like there are ways to block off games from schools etc, so I assume that is what is happening. Maybe it's a blessing in desguise, and I have to do other stuff for the moment... Thanks anyway! | ||

Add > output.txt, so: netstat -an > output.txt This stores all the output of the command in the file "output.txt" (you can of course pick any name and path you'd like). That way you can more easily read it back. But most likely it's simply the firewall at your workplace that has restricted access on the internet. | ||
