Quote from MadCatX :

Please note that overall wattage (like 500W) does NOT say much about the PSU's capability to provide sufficient power to demanding devices like GPUs. It theory you can have a 1000W PSU that wouldn't be enough. What matters is the amps on +12V rails. When you pick a new PSU, you can post it here so we can check if it will work fine with your HW.

Thanks, I'll do that propably tomorrow when i get the new PSU.

The PSU I'm getting says it has 650watt so It should propably be enough.

It's also funny how I would have never thought that maybe my PSU isn't powerful enough thinkin "my comp is only 5 years old, ofcourse PSU won't be a problem when I get a new GFX card" :doh:

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

its me...once in a while >_>

i will take the server offline, unless somebody else wants to take it over.
right now im kind of short on money (its just 25€/month but thats plenty for me atm) so i cant continue to pay for it.
i can ask the hoster (its a root server) if i can swap ownership and payments to another person, if someone wants to do that.

if not, i can grab the latest copy of the map before the server goes offline (dont know the exact date, but near end of this month) and upload it somewhere.

also, most ppl prolly have noticed that i also lack time, to really maintain it properly (updates, mods ect) so thats another reason to go that way.

Do you have a paypal to donate for? I really like the server and don't wanna see it disappear D:

Quote from Ales_M :

Hmm i think my house is the most awesome from what ive seen on server.

I do agree

Quote from Jakg :

Thats not that big...

Couple of mine (all done by pick, no mods/editing etc).

My pit (20*20 square from sea level to bedrock):


My two glass towers - one just an internal staircase, the others 8*8, hollow in the middle. Both go down to Bedrock, and to 127:


Looking down from the top of the 8*8 tower (lava pit at the very bottom):


My stone tower (again, bedrock to 127), my above-ground bases, and the glass corridor that links them all together:


Sorry the rain makes it all really hard to see.

Mine is actually 30x30, and is wip. And I'm making it my new base with multiple glass floors.

I couldn't get any informationa bout the wattage and stuff, but it's worth $6.25 so it's not propably one of those high end PSUs right?

Edit: Yeah It's only 330watts and the card needs 500watts. Problem solved. Thanks for help!

Quote from blakehoo88 :

what are u making?

A new base.

My motherboard indeed does have somekind of a integrated gfx chip, so I'll check that one out.

When i can be arsed to do so...

And ill propably get a better psu next weekend so I'll propably do those both then.

Oh and i did format.

Yeah I'm working on something big.

So.. The things I should check are my PSU and if my computer actually uses the integrated graphics chip in the motherboard?

Quote from Shotglass :

have you uninstalled the drivers correctly? going from nvidia to ati (or the other way round) can cause issues if not done properly

i tought that may be the issue, reinstalled windows and still didnt work.

This has turned into a video card discussion, maybe the thread should be moved.

Quote from MadCatX :

Are you sure that the HD5770 is installed correctly? Are the AUX power supply cables connected? This looks like a PSU issue to me, if your card doesn't have enough power, it's possible it runs in fallback 2D-mode at very low GPU and mem clock.

I can still run games like GTA IV, but with the lowest settings. But then for example Amnesia has horrible stuttering problems with the lowest settings and BFBC2 has those too. Used to run fairly well with the old card.

I will double check the installation and get a more powerful PSU from my other computer and check out how it works.

Quote from bunder9999 :

i don't know anything about adding a video card degrading performance, but have you tried stripping out unneeded services?

I use gamebooster for that.

I had nvidia gt 220 before. A cheap budget card not for gaming at all.
Windows 7 64bit.

And yeah, fps loss in games that ran well with the old card.

Yeah I'm not sure about the PSU. Might check that one out.

So, I have 4gt of RAM in my computer, and theres constantly over 1gt of it in use when i have nothing else than the windows secrity essentials running.

Is this normal, or should I buy more RAM?

I have recently noticed a huge loss of performance, mainly after i bought Ati Radeon HD 5770.

full PC specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Display Memory: 2805 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1014 MB
Shared Memory: 1791 MB

Could you make me some posters btw? With a picture of my cat and text. "Missing Missy".

LFSforum group is being a part of the competitive tournament?

Can I join?

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Remember, you're in a safe place. Now can you show me on the dolly exactly where Portal touched you? :sadbanana

I think the dolly doesn't have one :sadbanana

Quote from DevilDare :

The ending was "meh".

The gameplay was an even bigger, "meh". Its just Portal with more complex puzzles. Yeah I know, thats what the game is all about and there is nothing more you could really do. But it does not justify spending 30 quid on it. No way.

You didnt mention the dark humour. And no, IMO It's not just about the puzzles imo.

Quote from DevilDare :

Did not live up to the hype for me.

Well the only dissapointing thing for me was that it ended.

The single player campaign was epic. That's all I'm gonna say since i don't want to spoil it for anyone.
