eabbud Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don´t know how to play ESO after the experience of a modded Skyrim. It´s like playing a game of the 90s...hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodinfested Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I just built a new comp myself a GTX 780 was a great investment its a beast. It can really handle anything you can possibly throw at it...Modded games and mmos are 2 totally different animals its like comparing oranges and apples however for an mmo its has some of the best visuals on the market.

Lord Garon Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) "Lord Garon, I´ve read in some websites that 2x8Gb is better because it´s "less expensive" for the chipset to work on. Are you sure 4x4gb is better? Thank you." Not sure at all. Quad-channel memory, like dual and tri-channel before it, is an attempt to improve memory bandwidth. Most mobos "seem" to profit from it (Google around Tom's Hardware for quad channel memory) already and it will get more effective as chipsets are further optimized. You were looking for max performance, so I mentioned it. Edited March 14, 2014 by Lord Garon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankFH Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 You need 3 things. A powerful CPU for scripts, shadows, AI, etc. OC to 4GHz is fine. Sandy/ Ivy or Haswell i5 or i7 will be fine for this. An SSD, for fast loading screens and reduced stutter. A gtx 600 or 700 series with 3 to 4GB VRAM. 2GB is not enough for a heavily modded skyrim with all the eye candy. Dont know the equivalent in AMD. Seriously consider gtx series 700 or higher with 4GB VRAM if screen resolution is higher than 1080p. Just for clarification: shadows are not drawn by the CPU. Stop spreading false info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t have much experience from MMOs, but you have to agree that it´s an Elder Scrolls game, and as an Elder Scrolls game it sould give an Elder Scrolls experience, which it does not.

You were looking for max performance, so I mentioned it.But with 4 slots of ram, the maximum possible config is dual-channel (2 pairs of channel). The rampage IV has 6 slots, allowing triple-channel. As for quad-channel, I´ve never heard of a mobo that can do it. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a gtx 780 can handle pretty much every game. But the question is: at which fps rate? My 7970 handles Crysis 3 in ultra settings, but at 18fps.

As for quad-channel, I´ve never heard of a mobo that can do it. Or am I wrong? Well, quad-channel is basically like two sets of dual-channel memory slots. I looked up the Maximus VI Formula mobo (Z87) and it says "Dual Channel" for memory, so the question is moot. The Z79 chipset motherboards can do quad-channel memory.

Bloodinfested Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I don’t own Crysis 3 so I couldn’t compare fps but on skyrim thats fairly modded I get a solid 60 with enb on 1080p. Probably really matters if you messed with many ini settings some love to increase the uGridsToLoad witch can effect the fps by a lot. Having a high uGridsToLoad may look stunning visually but unfortunately it will cause scripting errors. I also don’t tend to install mods that add huge battles such as 60+ npcs running high res texture +60 npcs on screen rendering threw your card will definitely effect performance.heres a great example of high end benchmarks http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.htmlfew things beat the 780. Using these benchmarks is really a better way of understanding how powerful a cpu or gpu is in general. This is really what I go by when I build a new comp.I played eso beta and from my experience they have an interesting mix character advancement system with a touch of the old tes such as their class/race skills with the new tes there is some mmoish in it with crowd control abilities ect. Elder scrolls 1 Arena had that old school d&d style class system morrowind started the complete 180 skyrim your able to use any weapon and armor class was defined by perks this just wasn’t so in Arena. An elder scrolls experience is being able to create your own adventure not guided on rails. Every tes game has an tutorial process you always start out as a prisoner the idea to create your own background story. The mmo is no different then your typical tes game I know a lot of ppl hate mmos and they will hate to just hate Edited March 15, 2014 by Bloodinfested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
