    ATI 3870

    in Hardware Hell

    Posted

    You could be right Jim. I still have some more tweeking to with the Tray Tools. The gains are getting smaller, and frame

    rates in game seem fairly constant at 20, 45, 60 in Black Death.

    It was definatly not worth £164 for the small gain that I have. The X1900XT was a great card for IL2. Maybe with a better driver

    the 3870 will come good. Still, nothing venured nothing gained. :)

    On a brighter note, I now have 333 FSB speed, giving my E6300 CPU 2.3 gig from 1.86 standard. Woo hoo!

    This was achieved by following BBloke's advice and pushing the ram voltage up to 2.1v from 1.85v as per Corsair spec.

    Made no difference to frame rates though.

    I have just upgraded from a X1900XT 256mb to a 3870 512 DDR4. Latest driver listed on the AMD/ATI site is 7-12 for this

    card on XP 32bit.

    With this driver I get 20, 40, and 300+ fps (worst, ave, best) ~5fps average

    Ok, the mic has to go in the white jack, which I thought was digital only. Still cant get the headphones to work in the grey jack (line out 2)

    No probs. I'll splice them into the speaker line.

    Tested t/s with the game running and all is well. Thanks Painless.

    Time to fit the 3870 512mb. :rolleyes:

    @ BB, you have just confirmed what I suspected with the timings, that probably did cause the crash. My multiplyer is locked, so I can only

    push up the FSB (formally the KGB :)).

    Cheers guys - I know you are right, but I could not resist having a fiddle with it. A little knowlege is a dangerous thing, lol.

    Core 2 chips are supposed to be well clockable. I did'nt set the voltages high enough to handle the higher speeds.

    A simple cmos reset fixed it. I'll run default speeds for the moment.

    Anyway, forget that for now. I've got another can of worms with the sound. Speakers work. No mic, no headphones.

    New sound car is a Creative X-Fi Extreme Gamer. 4 jacks, green, grey, orange and one digital.

    Speakers are ok in green. Mic in orange and headpones in grey dont work. I dont see how to configure those jacks in

    the creative console. Any ideas?

    Cheers Bbloke. Its an OCZ Vanquisher, its on now but what a PITA it was. I dont rate those expanding plastic plugs much!

    I chucked in a X-Fi Gamer sound card, 2 gig of Corsair PC6400 and a 600w PSU while I was at it.

    Frame rates on Black Death track are 19, 35 and 61 @ 1680x1050. Which is exactly what they were before, lol.

    Seems a little snappier on loading though.

     

    Fancy on of these?

    Thats a cool bit of kit alright. I use a cheapo usb keypad for bombing, which is ok.

    I'm saving for the rumblepad atm. Looking forward to stallfighting with it tucked down the front of my pants. :) Nice.

    DX9 v DX10 the game is afoot.

    It really does make you wonder.... what is the point of that bloatware called Vista?

    I've read tests of Crysis on real top end machines getting less than 20 fps on high settings.

    Nice fix on the DX10 m8. :)

    I'll be staying with XP as long as possible.

    Happy New Year's Dogz

    Hear hear to everything JP said.

    ~S~ Deacon, happy new year to you and the 352nd.

    I got to admit Carl, I'm quite enjoying the exchange of bitch slapping between you and Painless. :)

    Best wishes to all in the new year. ~S~

    X52 Set-up

    in IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946

    ~S~ Jabo, I believe the Pro has metal parts and a few non-essential extra functions. It is likely to be

    longer lasting than the Std.X52. Psycho is the man to talk to as he has just upgraded.

    My standard X52 still works great after 18 months. The software is simple enough.

    Adding Saitek Pedals 5 months ago was easy. Getting used to aiming with the feet was not easy. :)

    I would still get TIR before HOTAS if I had to make a choice though.

    Cheers.

    Extracting Audio.

    Can anyone help me get a series of audio clips from a movie. Or point me to a good (free) tool that will do the job.

    I re-encoded the whole movie from Div x to Mpeg4 using VirtualDub, but its gone out of synch. Is that normal?

    Or if anyone has an Audio file of Matt Monroe 'On Days Like These' and Dietrich's 'Lily Marlene' they are willing to share.

    Thanks in advance.
