Zero(?) City Lag - 5 Clients One PC - Your Specs?

[dancook]

had the same specs, and was starting to see some lag. New GFX were some but the textures were a lot of it. New CPU and 8 + gigs are the new basic boxing machine.

I have the new graphics card, so I guess i'm looking at an i7 950 with 12gb ram? and I should be smooth as a baby's bottom?

It's also raiding, where it matters, than I'm getting sluggish framerates.

I already have SSD.

Think more like the spec attached after some research

Uhhh...

Besides the fact that P67 boards just got recalled because of a defect [there's a thread about it in this same forum], the 1155
chipset does not use triple channel RAM. I'm also curious as to why you are going to spend $70+ on a CPU cooler when that
money probably could have gone towards a nice 570 GTX?

I was going to overclock - and thought a decent cooler would be needed. Also i hadn't planned on buying any more hardware, I only just changed my mind

I didn't realise about the triple channel only with i7 950 etc then?

Also I see the recall didn't affect all motherboards, and some sources suggested it's no reason to put you off buying it - but then i suppose some might say that, depending on what you had to gain

You're right, if I really wanted to buy a new system now I wouldn't let that recall affect me. It would also really suck if it
somehow affected me later down the road. Also, triple channel RAM is currently only used on 1366 chipsets.

I've specced up this instead

Looks good. People with old i7's are reporting 8-9GB of RAM usage and you might find yourself getting capped if you like
higher quality video settings. If you can afford it, I would suggest 4 x 4GB for a total of 16GB.

Yes and yes. There seriously needs to be a sticky now - All people with Q6600s should consider an i7.

BTW, SSD will not increase your frame rates. They only decrease loading times. [IMO]worthless because loading times in WoW are nil (even in cities), a regular 7200 HD suffices.[/IMO]

I didn't buy an SSD for WOW and SSD is great for many more things.
