FPS problems? (FX 8350 + GTX 680)
in
Hardware
Jstn7477Minimum FPS for me with a 4770K at 4.4GHz core/4.275GHz cache is about 95 worst case scenario. With a 4.3GHz 3770K, it was about 80-85, sometimes a little less.
Is it really that low or are you not even using an FPS config? I'm getting minimum like 180FPS in 6s match with my 2500k @ 4.2GHz. It drops down to like 120-130 in large pubs sometimes worse if it's really bad.

Making my PC capable of streaming. Upgrades needed
in
Hardware
OblivionageSure intel's i5-2500k didn't get maxed out. Well that's because it was a $220 4 core power house. Streaming isn't hard for i5's but AMD cpu's aren't as strong in single threaded performance so the extra cores go a long way for amd cpus. No you're wrong. Those extra threads that i7's have do not help at all for gaming. Yeah but those extra physical cores would do the same thing those extra threads would (helping stream) anyways, the ram is clocked pretty low and if he has the money i'd say he should go for it maybe in the future at least.
The 8350 that you just recommended is currently AMD's $200 flagship CPU. The 2500K was one of Intel's mid-range options in 2011. I don't see where you're trying to go here.
Go read my post again because I never said HyperThreading helped gaming performance.
It doesn't matter if you have 12 extra cores to stream with if you can't manage satisfactory performance in TF2 with only 2 lousy cores to begin with.
~$60 for ~300 extra MHz on your RAM is like the biggest waste of money I know of. I'd rather by like 40 keys with that money. Or I dunno maybe on something actually important.
SetsulYou'd have to spend like 50 bucks more on a cpu cooler for getting Ivy Bridge to a speed where it could compete with Haswell on a cheaper cooler.
People always seem to recommended overclocking whatever cheaper/older option you have and forget that you can also overclock the newer/more expensive option. That and if your chip doesn't automatically reach 4.5GHz on the stock cooler it must be a bad CPU for overclocking or something.
Never buy old/last generation parts. There's a reason why they're called last gen. There's almost always an equivalent price point in whatever current generation you're looking at that more than likely performs better or is a preferable option.

Oblivionage@4 no 8 cores is helpful when streaming. Plus intel is more money having to switch motherboards as well. I'd go with the 8350 and OC it. You can keep the same gpu and i'd get new ram prob 1600 or 1866 mhz.
i7's have hyper threading which are basically 4 more cores for encoding (not physical cores for games and rendering) and 8350's have 4 extra cores for streaming basically doing the same job. If you get a decent cooler and OC it to 4.5ghz then you should be fine getting at least 130fps + also use dx8 frames
8 cores doesn't really help at all. My 2 year old 2500k didn't reach 100% usage when I tried to stream. Streaming isn't hard with a modern CPU.
Also threaded cores function the exact same way as actual cores. Threaded cores aren't suddenly restricted from performing any operations for games. The multi-tasking and computational benefits just aren't as dramatic as actually having more physical cores.
Upgrading RAM would be a waste of money.

You don't need 8 cores to stream so I would switch to Intel's Haswell seeing as single-threaded performance is priority #1 for TF2 performance.
The 4670K would be a solid choice, but making the switch also forces you to switch motherboards which robs you of an extra $150 or so.
I can't comment on the 8350's performance but I'd assume streaming TF2 should be fine on there too.

Stochast1cdownpourso im interested in the ad700s but i listen to bass heavy music so itd be nice if there was a similar alternative that had good bass for roughly the same price.
any recommendations?

TF2 Stuttering with new 144hz monitor
in
Hardware
DrakeMegrimSpaceCadetDrakeMegrimDo you have an AMD video card? If you have a NVidia then you should be using Lightboost and drop the refresh rate down to 120.
If you aren't using a frame rate cap then do so. I had the same issue with my monitor because my fps would jump from 1200 to 200 during intense fights and stutter. Try something like 300.
I have an nvidia card but I have not really thought about switching over to lightboost. I may go that route as a last resort.
There is literally no reason not to use Lightboost at 10%. It has the lowest amount of lag (helps with stutters) and if you use the color pack to help with the colors on the monitor. Defaults aren't the greatest. You're kind of driving a race car in third gear right now. Take advantage of the hardware edge you have.
I've had no success with color profiles outside of my desktop so lightboost is just an annoyance while there's a stark purple hue everywhere.

Still just spouting w/e I have read.
I still just tried 450DPI + 125Hz and none of the OP's symptoms showed up. I guess there's more screen tearing/visual blur but I haven't had any actual trouble with tracking.

wareyaHaving a mouse polling rate below your refresh rate will in fact cause stuttering. Just being above it will be fine, but to get the maximum benefit it should be above double your visible framerate (has the same effect on mouse smoothness as reducing the visibility of tearing by increasing rendering framerate). Normal mice have a 125hz polling rate, which is over double 60fps.
Just played @ 125Hz. Nothing happened.

Does TFTV still do those? I haven't seen anyone put up mumble info for one so I assume not, but it's a real shame if we don't.

jp_I was just spouting what I've read from...
http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/9066-opinions-on-lightboost-modYou must have a good 1000Hz mouse to get the maximum LightBoost benefit, though:
1. Test strafe left/right with keyboard
2. Test turn left/right with mouse
If your mouse is not as smooth as keyboard, you need to upgrade to a 1000Hz gaming mouse. When playing at 120Hz, especially LightBoost, your mouse (stutters) can become the the weak link in motion fluidity. Also, raise hardware mouse sensitivity AND reduce in-game software mouse sensitivity (should be 5% or 10% setting in Team Fortress 2's menu), to fix mouse stutters. Then your mouse is buttery smooth, like holding down a key to move.
The polling rate only affects input lag and DPI does not affect tracking fluidity unless you're forcing the sensor to malfunction. This is assuming the mouse sensor isn't awful to begin with.

SpaceCadetjp_What's your mouse's polling rate and DPI.
If it's below 1ms (100hz), raise it to it.
Try increasing your DPI to see if it helps.
I had no idea your DPI could play a factor. I happen to use the lowest setting DPI for my mouse, 400. I had trouble tweaking my sensitivity at higher DPI settings. I couldn't get the feel just right for RJing. Either I would turn too much or too slowly.
However, I will try this and if it fixes the stuttering problem, I will put in more time to find the sensitivity to move normally.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Your DPI doesn't play a factor. If your mouse behaved fine before then there is no reason to change your settings now.
