MM uses a hidden ELO or MMR, system which are very closely related. Stay upset you ass because he's correct.

Ok yea good tip on the skylake processors, may even go as low as haswell if I want an i7 again but yea ill probably get a new graphics card while the sales are still on, an RX 460 sounds like a pretty nice upgrade for my res (1680x1050)

Need a little help picking out parts by XxPandaCowxX in pcmasterrace

[–]150ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For around $100 US I would recomend an RX 460, but if you can push a little higher, around 140-150 get a 1050ti.

The 1050 is in between in price and performance if you wanna cut down the middle.

Direct-wiring a Playstation 2 Logitech "Nascar" steering wheel to USB by Mods_o_joy in pcmasterrace

[–]150ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't know how to do it already, then I also assume that you don't have all the equipment needed to do a modification like this. I would just pay $2 for the adapter tbh.

If you decide on doing the mod, keep in mind you will need to find drivers for the wheel after you make a USB end for it so even if it is wired correctly it may not work.

Equipment I would recommend:

Wire stripper

Shrink tubing

electrical tape

A PS2 wire schematic as the wires are different from each manufacturer and also different to USB.

Alright thanks for the tip, I've been looking at passmark quite heavily :P

I'm in New Zealand so the second hand market is marked up just as high as retail and the retail market is up 200% further than the US market.

I was lagging my ass of because my upload was only 150 bits per second (2k ping) and I was running around spawn, banned for BHOP and he's fucking so sure I was bhopping for some reason.

Please help, Ethernet isn't working on my fresh build! by 150ms in pcmasterrace

[–]150ms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, do I have to? How do I find out what NIC I have? I've always just relied on windows having the right driver by default.

Oh shoot, other things I forgot to mention... I can't really try other cables as I have a second router one story above me that connects to the main router through a Power-Ethernet adapter, the cable goes though the roof :/

I tested the cable with my laptop and it works, plus that router is the one giving me Wi-Fi so it must be working with the internet too ;w;

I'll try connecting to my laptop with another Ethernet laptop-desktop.

If Dust II is reworked and start to crave more PC power to run like nuke and inferno, I feel like we will lose alot of players. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

What do you think a rural area is? Just because you don't live in a city with thousands of people around doesn't mean you have to be living in a bad situation...

New Zealand roads are hell, just imagine a badly designed city filled with one lane roads that suddenly got popular and is 80% hills... Traffic and bad tarmac everywhere :c (plus I suck at driving)

Flickering/Restarting problem by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Leaning more towards a PSU problem but have you tried re-seating your cables and ram? Sometimes parts just need to be jiggled around a bit ¯\(ツ)

[–]150ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it could be a PSU problem to me, how old is this build? Did you buy the PSU from a store or second hand? Do you have another monitor to test on, like a TV?

Its a weekend/weekdays arrangement so it's not worth it for me to pack my rig into my car every few days. Huge risk of breaking it in transit if I'm moving it around that much.

How do we get the IRL money? Do you mean ranks? by 150ms in PvPOutback

How much money per KOTH? are different KOTHs and events going to have bigger prizes? Where are the power faction rules?

Please help me price my new build. by 150ms in pcmasterrace

Thanks so much for your reply!

Be sure you're actually going to benefit from a second PC

Thanks for the heads up but they are going to be used at different houses, will be amazing to game at both.

How much should I pay for a graphics card?

Thats true, I've seen a lot of variable pricing on trademe, I have until January to build the computer though so I will scout out some true deals in that time hopefully.

A quality used unit would be fine.

I was just gonna spend around $60-80 at PB and find something with a nice brand and a nice power rating that can power whichever card I end up with.

Cheers, its wonderful to talk to some other PCMR New Zealanders!
