When you say runs fine now...does it actually boot to windows? (can you hear the hard drive reading as you would normally?) My old computer had a similar glitch (at least in behavior). The motherboard "overheat feature" would sometimes revert back the cpu speed to default clock. Which was odd because i never overclocked…
yeah sorry EQ. i forgot to plug my brain charger in before i went to sleep last night lol! but yeah i agree with everything you've said in the last two posts, and again if you want to shave off some of your costs, look at getting 1333mhz ram as you will absolutely not notice any gain from 1600mhz unless you're…
Laugh tracks in bad sitcoms. Imagine if the laughtrack wasnt there, how incredibly lame the show would be. No one would be laughing. Guys Acting like "Wimpus Americanus" around women they like. Telling them how much they love them. Being mooshy. Let the Women do the chasing. shit. Hot chicks with awesome fighting skills.…
Depends on the software. Anyone sensible will run a SIM at least partly on the GPU to take advantage of the massively parallel vector math acceleration - it's orders of magnitude faster than doing it on the CPU for operations that can be vectorised (like physics) That doesn't mean that the software you use actually does…
(NOW CLOSED. THANK YOUR FOR YOU REPLIES, WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU SHORTLY) I'm a video director looking for a 3D artist who can provide me with a 3D model of the band Avatar's guitarist (FYI the band had the name long before the film). The model will be used as a statue. So what I need is a clean OBJ, no rigging and no…
I've been working on this thing on and off for the last year
and a half. It started with me making the cat clock because I wanted to get
better at the highpoly > lowpoly workflow and needed to test how
adaptable PBR (which was pretty mysterious at the time) is to stylized textures. I love the art of Wildstar, housing…
This is my second post for the competition, sorry about that but the first one was getting a little confusing and going in too many directions ( any that i realy liked ) So this is my new concept (maybe not too original but at this point i just want to have something to work on).There are some parts that are very blocky…
I'm trying to setup my computer to dual boot with WinXP and SLES9. When I reach the installation point where YaST does "Performing Installation: preparing your hard disk," the progress bar reaches 100% but the clock cursor just sits there indefinately as though it is stalled. My partitions look as such: /dev/hda 55.8GB…
Here's a new update: Critique! - I'll probably remake/redesign the top shell as it looks stressed and the design doesn't really match the rest of the shells/gun. - I think I'll have to add some more barnacles as they break up the design nicely and there are more of them on the concept art. - I need to add a lot more subtle…
Just an update. I went ahead and bit the bullet on a Core i7 Ivy Bridge today as they were on sale. My previous CPU was an i5-2400 clocked at 3.5ghz, which is the same speed as the i7-3770 I bought today. The difference beyond the Sandy/Ivy bridge is that the i7 does 8 threads. I expected a twofold increase in lightmapping…
