that is true, nvidia doesnt play well with falcon, but once configured, it worked flawless for me. other games however, ive noticed more AMD issues. Witcher 3 for example, alot of AMD guys with big budget cards were having issues. alot of newer games are optimized for nvidia. my gtx770 is still pushing most games to the max, and i didnt even overclock it.

Thanks guys... For making it even harder LOL

So a lot of games are optimized for Nvidia, but early tests suggest that Nvidia is gonna have problems with DX12.

You could of course also stick with the system you have, and use the money to buy us beers instead :)

Fact of the matter is (IMHO): Moore's law is dead, and Intel is focusing on the business market rather than gamers. (ie: autonomy over performance, integrated GPU on the CPU). What that means for us: Buy a system now and you're sure to be good for 5 years.

Picking a good overclockable CPU is paramount I think for bang for buck.

That is if nothing new, ground-breaking get's invented soon.

PS: Consoles killed us :(

Thus it's not a law!! Laws, in scientific terms, cannot be broken. Never understood why this "law" wasn't jumped all over by everyone. Should have been "Moore's Theory for Computational Advancement Without a Console Market". :)

Bought the mobo, CPU and RAM package.
Have to revisit the GPU once I know how much attention my car requires after its annual inspection.

Sell the car and bike or hoof it. Got to get your priorities right :grin:

Anyway, you'll feel a very nice improvement I think.

Quick test shows 40-50 fps increase in arma 3 with the same settings as before, but 5k view distance compared to 2k
