in NS2 General Discussion
Haven't seen one of these threads in a while. This isn't a thread for who's rig is the best, it is ultimately for anyone seeking to upgrade their system or to gain a basic idea as to what people are running currently.

Format as follows-

CPU:
Motherboard:
Video:
Ram:
O/S:
Monitor:
Mouse:
Keyboard:
Headset/Mic:

I'll start,

CPU: i5-2500K @330GHz
Motherboard: MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z
Video: EVGA GeForce GTX690 (like putting a NOS V8 in a volkswagen)
Ram: 8GB
O/S: Win 7 Ultimate
Monitor: Asus VE247H
Mouse: Logitech MX518
Keyboard: Logitech G110
Headset/Mic: Logitech PC Headset 120

Thanks for sharing :)

    looking at those specs no wonder that everyone else in the competitive scene has an advantage^^

    well ok here mine:
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
    Motherboard: Asus P5KPL/1600

    to upgrade my CPU I need a new motherboard, which also requires new RAM. so basically a new PC

    Most games are still GPU bound, so with a high end GPU he can still get all the good graphics. It's just the FPS that will suffer.

    with these specs, it was unplayable when i first preordered early on (don't remember exactly but <10 fps for sure).
    later on things improved and i got an average of something like 30 fps while playing normally. sometimes its better when theres not much going on, but intense combat with many players/structures is not really enjoyable as it drops between 10-20, in worst cases even <10 again.
    as a nice side effect, ns2 turns out to be the most effective way to keep my room warm in winter :) i elevated my laptop a bit to prevent it from running too hot.

    Ahh one of these threads... here's the specs of the tower I just built a few weeks ago. I think I did a good job seeing as how it's my first build ever. lol

    CPU: Intel I7 3820 @ 3.6 GHz
    Mobo: ASUS P9X79
    RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (4x4)

    Mouse: Razer Naga
    Keyboard: Razer Black Widow
    Headset: Logitech G35
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium


    Best upgrade by far was the SSD... NS2 went from 2-3 minute load times to about 5-10 seconds.

    can't believe it all fits so well in the case! It's also SO much quieter and cooler than in a full tower lian li case (which cost about £200) from my last build, despite being overclocked on both cpu and gpu.

    Server,

    I5 3570k @ 4.6Ghz, (1.52 volts don't ask me why I had to pump in so much for stability) temp around 50c on a loaded server
    2x 4GB ddr3 crucial ballastix 8-8-8-24 (low profile)
    Asrock Extreme III Z77 mainboard
    Deepcool Neptwin Air cooler
    60GB SSD

    My pc atm:

    I5 3470 @ 3.2 (3.6 Turbo boost)
    4GB kingston hyper X, (waiting for DDR4 upgrade)
    Palit GTX 770 OC version 2GB
    Some crappy mainboard
    60ggb SSD
    Monitor 27 inch LG 60 Hz

    Got a laptop aswell where I idle on NS2
    Core I5 2450m
    4GB ram
    GTX 630M
    750GB hdd


    I know my I5 isn't the best OC chip around, and can't be used for gaming, but I am not using it for gaming atm, just hosting a server or 2, hence the pumped up voltage
