I'm getting a new CPU Installed and the guys told me it would take until Tuesday or Wednesday. So, I won't be on Sunday but they close at 6pm Wednesday so I'm expecting it to be a bit earlier then closing time. Either way I'll make it to Wednesday night ops at worst thirty minutes late since the business is a 3 minute drive from my home. AMD A8-3850 2.9ghz quad core upgraded from AMD A6 3620 2.2ghz quad core. Hopefully this will make the difference because in big strikes on the tech plants and such the action lags out my mosquito.

The 8350 is fucking nice as hell, buy an after market cooler and over clock it and you will be getting 60 fps all the time.

Oh wow, I misread that, the 3850 is still a nice apu and since it's an apu it will have less latency and faster clock cycles when the integrated gpu is at heavy load. Although I recommend getting a dedicated gpu for real gaming. Not sure if apus can be oc'd, but might as well see.
Btw if they are charging you more than 30 for the install that's a ripoff since it will take a guy like me 10 minutes max to install the apu and drivers

They said estimated at $25. I have a geforce 460 GTX 768mb card in it already.

CPU installed and with a great job dusting the whole case was $45, a little pricey but I could never get it dusted  . I also got 2x4gb ram so I have 14gb. No lag from big fights yet the past two days! If it does end up lagging I bet it's my gtx 460 768mb but maybe a 660 then? I have been getting random lag spikes that go to 1-5 fps for a couple of seconds or a little longer, any advice? I can't find a precise power supply rating other then newegg calculator. Otherwise it seems good. |

I put a GTX 670 in recently and have been very pleased with the results. I used to run Ultra with 40-50 FPS in the big fights and 60+ everywhere else.
Of course, you can't really run ultra these days without CTDs, so I don't anymore...but the frames are still good.

I would go with the gtx 760, just a bit slower than the 670 and $80 cheaper.

I'm getting a 660 asus nvidia in a couple of days, I think I'll call it the end when I get this video card.
