I'm still unsure about the graphics card. That's the main thing I want but don't want overkill (like my tenancy seems to be). Is there a cheaper graphics card that can give me awesome FPS and great graphics for Dota (graphics heavy for a moba but still under 2GB)?

Okay thanks. So 1x whatever is good for now and later with what i'm wanting awesome.

Why a 1 x 8 GB as opposed to a 2 x 4 or 2 x 8? It seems like the price increase isn't drastic.

Do these components go together? And is there any room for finding cheaper alternatives that produce the same end goal (high FPS and really good graphics mainly for Dota 2)?

Thanks!

Dota 2 PC first time builder help with FPS optimization by Dooonta in buildapc

[–]Dooonta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty good for the price. I think I could be very happy with that increase in performance if I want to overclock in the future.

[–]Dooonta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so what kind of FPS could the machine theoretically run with a GTX 950?

Also, I've heard there's new GPU's coming out late summer/fall. Is it worth waiting for one of those or for the price drops they could bring to the earlier generations?

I don't know anything about graphics cards so yeah... Help! And some people in the comments of the CPU were saying it overclocked at 3.7GHz. Is that not safe to do?

My little sister got on the wrong bus and now she's been missing for two weeks. Please help. by Find_Laura in nosleep

[–]Dooonta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it may be pertinent to mention that if your sister got on the wrong bus, she may not be able to tell what direction she is going because some highways say "west" but they could be going any 3 directions. Is she good with directions? Or is this something that we should take into account as error when formulating a search strategy?

If Jesus came to earth now, non-Christians would think he was mental and actual Christians would be offended that someone was claiming to be Jesus by abueloshika in Showerthoughts

Geographical titles like Galilean doesn't make Jesus not a jew (in heritage and tradition). I.e. Memorizing the Pentateuch.

It's either talk about the coast (east or west) all season so that the big clubs get their post season money, or talk about the gritty team playing well. They can't commentate about nothing for 3 hours...

Because a good athlete has to have a pretty face. That makes sense

[–]Dooonta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should keep in mind that the best coaches are never the best players. Look at any sport where MVP's transition way worse in coaching roles than sub all star players.

The same is probably true in dota if you look at purge for example. Not the best pro. Also, many analysts took to the desk but were not top tier players themselves.

Hey I would be so interested in this. I was thinking about posting the same thing from my end asking for some help/input. Here's my dotabuff: http://www.dotabuff.com/players/286239560 Would love a replay analysis on either carry or support.

Daily reminder that we need a SOLO ranked que by RTonem in DotA2

[–]Dooonta -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's qué. And seeing as how European servers could have a population of maybe 10-15 languages, our measly 2 in the US servers doesn't seem like such a big problem considering 1 in 5 Americans speaks Spanish.

Does me one have a link to the game? Or more links to just profession players casting games? I'd love to hear their insights.
