Got my new computer / One Important Question

Flyordie · Mar 22, 2009

My question to you is this... (had to scale down cause of Photobuckets retarded size limits) I get 60FPS with that due to VSync.

Does Crysis look like that on your PC?

This thing is fast man, believe the hype :rockout:

I have been stuck using my p3 since 2000, never knew games moves this damn fast :laugh:

I should have some crysis benchmarks soon also.

in fact, the 9500 gt is slighty better than a 8600 gtS which is an overclocked 8600 gt .

but there are pci-e 1x 9500 gt, so maybe there is your card

I am not buying a pci-e1x card, i refused to lol. When i go video card shopping i will see what to buy. But as i said my 2400 and 8400gs will do just fine right now.

Flyordie I haven't played Crysis yet on my rig. I Haven'T played alot of games. still working on things at the moment.

theres drivers that allow you to run your sound card as a x-fi xtreme audio at the cost of cpu cycles u2k

you got em right

So after years of resisting, you've finally gotten a new PC? About time! :toast:

You should be able to modify a 9500 GT to run in that PCI-E x1 slot, so you wouldn't need an adapter, or you could just cut out the edge of the PCI-E slot.
PCI-E uses modular lanes, so that you can put a x1 card into a x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. It also works the other way around. If you have a x16 card, you can modify the slot or the card to make it fit (and work) in a x4 slot. I'm not sure about x1 slots, but here's what someone did with their 4350: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=88791
The power supply to the card shouldn't be affected, but it will be bottlenecked.

Congrats on the new PC u2k. I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed your P3 machines.

I'm telling you, you will not be able to run a full-blown PCI-E x16 card in that PCI-E x1 slot. You only buy cards without external power connectors so it has to take power from the slot. PCI-E 1.1 (which is probably what you have) is spec'd for 75w. But that's the x16 slot. PCI-E 2.0 is spec'd for 150w. Even if you had PCI-E 2.0, you still won't be able to run a x16 card in a x1 slot without power issues. :banghead:

Put it this way... buying a computer with only a pci-e x1 slot and expecting to be able to use a pci-e x16 video card is like getting into an olympic foot-race (track) and blasting yourself in the foot with a hammer just before the race starts and still expecting to win.

Yes and i was wrong for not listening to everyone. My p3 was great, but what a difference a computer makes.

i am not doing all of that man lol. I might just end up buying a 9500gt pci if i find it or a version of the 9400gt. I haven't even tried my 8400gs yet, but my 2400HD is working amazing with games. :rockout:

Thanks, and i am getting rid of my Pentium III.

Sound is just fine, using headphones+sound blaster, no EAX btw. None of that cracking noise either.
