Re: Welcome to "The Cyclone"

Well guys actually I have assembled the rig but I haven't received the RAM and one GPU yet, most probably I'll get them tomorrow. I have more pics but you I have already uploaded more than 600MB of data so I'll upload more as soon as I get time as uploading that big pics takes buttload of time. Stay tuned more are coming.

Thank you all for the congratulations.

Now just tell me which would be your first game on this helluva machine?!??!?!(I'm betting on Witcher 2 / Farcry 3 )

It would be Witcher 1. I just want to pay some tribute to CDProjektRED for making such an awesome series. Actually I just started playing the game and also some more games in parallel as now I don't have much of a restriction about the space so I just installed around 4-5 games. Man o man Crysis 1 looks awesome on highest possible settings. I just slided every setting to the4 maximum possible and it looks amazing. I know that for you guys its normal but for me playing such a game again just for graphical glory and I gotta say that its worth second play just for the visual awesomeness.

re: Welcome to "The Cyclone" [ 56k Warning !]

*sobs looking at his own PC*

Anyways this is an AWESOME rig. Congratulations and enjoy it

I have used Flickr and Imgur. If you are having problem seeing them here then you can also see them by going to my profile, they are posted publicly.

images are loading fine here and the new rig looks mighty powerful but at the same time the old pc also looks very cute ;-)

anyway, the size of the first page is almost ~45 MiB - I think after adding benchmark results I may need to double up it to 128k or even more !!

Re: Welcome to "The Cyclone" [ 56k Warning !]

Nah...Benchmark result images would be like 50-100KB in size. It was these pics which were MB is size, I guess all the benchmark results would hardly contribute 2-3MB.

Yeah kind of.

I have a 512kbps conn. never successfully loaded the first page, that needs a 1mbps warning

Same speed and same problem here.
Better to show thumbnails or low res pics as preview and then clicking them shows the original pics.

Really sorry guys for the trouble. Anyway to rectify this ??

What about 800x600 Jpeg for most pics, and one high res pic for each item?

Alright will try that next time I go to CL.

Dude,no need to say sorry. Its just that the rig's pictures are too good to miss. :razz:

tkin said:

That should be about the right size.
The pics in flickr are easier to view. You could continue the set of albums there.
They will make a good collection to view even later on.

Actually I have reached the month limit of December for Flickr so using imgur. Flickr is always better option for me and they offer variety of sizes to share.

^photobucket?

Didn't tried photobucket yet.

^Imageshack?

Don't like the interface of imageshack. Actually for normal use Flickr is more than enough for me but its time that I have to upload too many pics thats why the problem arose. It'll melt down in a couple of month as I'll finally upload everything to Flickr anyway for my convenience.

congrats gameranand....awesome rig!!! enjoy!!!

This is an awesome build, just a few pointers

1. Never ever buy high end parts from India, this entire build could have been 40k cheaper if bought from the US
2. The motherboard is plain terrible for 20k. Anyone looking for an expensive motherboard please make sure that it has PEX 8747 chip for dual x16/x16 PCI 3.0 mode. A good example is the Gigabyte Sniper 3
3. Hard drive is too expensive
4. You paid too much for the cards.

But still it is an awesome build, just curious how much are you hitting in 3DMark11 and Unigine ? I have a similar setup to yours (except that it is a laptop) and I am getting around 11k in 3DMark

you are comparing the dude's i7 3770k/HD 7870 in CF to a laptop?

i7-3920XM/7970m in Crossfire

I don't see you laughing now

Still your lappie is nothing in front of a i7 3770k.If you have super duper laptop then too you will suffer from the hurdles of Overheating and too remember nothing beats a desktop.

I never said anything about beating anyone. I just said it is as close as you can get to what he has. I am not that dumb or naive to know that nothing can beat a desktop. Some people need a portable laptop because we travel and travelling should not be a hindrance to gaming.

The only reason I asked him for his benches was because a 7970m is technically a 7870 and a i7-3920xm is the closest you can get to a i7-3770.

One more thing i7-3770k is pure overkill for gaming, a i5-2500k is more than enough (that being said I would also get a i7-3770k

) Remember that the gaming performance is not determined by the CPU but the GPU

He will be getting around P12750-P13000. Stock settings.
OCed, it can be around P14000.

Ok thats fine

your right an i5 is more than enough for gaming but nowadays games are more CPU taxing you know it Like gta 4,Cry3etc

Re: Welcome to "The Cyclone" [ 56k Warning !]

I have given the benchmarks on the first page if you are interested. Do see them if you like.

1. You expect me to go to US to buy these products.

2. Its the best at that price point, trust me I have done enough research before buying it. If you like see the Making of Cyclone Thread in my signature and you'll know.
3. I know performance and reliability comes at price. If you find it cheaper anywhere even after 6 months of purchase, do tell me. I have to buy one more.

4. My budget allowed it so I did.

And thanks.

1. Friends in the US or you may try ppobox
2. The board does not support true x16/x16 mode in Crossfire. Although x8/x8 is more than enough but if you are paying 20k then you should get the best of the best.
3. I saw a 3TB for around $114 a few days ago (no idea about the rates in India)
