Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 12, 2015, 12:43 AMZ brush looks awesome. Something I think I would be better at than blender. But dang that price is ridiculous. It would be nice if they offered a home use license for a much better price. It's crazy what they think these programs are worth.

Nah it's not crazy, because people pay for it. Professional software is so expensive nowadays.

At least the game engines are trying to break that trend.

Great, I'm now scanning my computer for viruses. I got an email from my internet provider that claimed one or more computer behind my fire wall is infected with a Zeus Trojan. I don't visit any weird sites on this pc. So i'm guessing i got it from VGC, if my pc is the one that has it. Close to 20,000 files scanned right now and it hasn't found one yet.

My pc was clean. Has my wife run scans on her phone and I did mine as well. Both came up clean. So I have no Idea what they are talking about. Didn't run my lab top but I don't really care. It hasn't been on in a month or more.

Use trendmicro for an online scan or use Avast. Avast has a pre-windows scan. Makes it better to find virus' who hide from virus scanners.

Okay, I'll check that out.

So I seem to have a pretty sold 60 fps everything maxed while play the Witcher 3. After we get back from the doctors I'm going to see what it's going to take to break it.

From the sounds that my pc is making right now it looks like I need to look into a better cooling system.

Correction, 70 fps and I gain 15 to 20 fps every time I drop down a graphics preset.

Yeah, but I don't think I'm getting gains that are worth it. I might sell off one or both and upgrade to a gtx980

I also wish I knew if my CPU is really holding me back or not.

@legend Do you mind running the same test I did so I can compare?

"When a build has more than one component of the same type, the faster component is used"

Maybe this benchmark is ignoring your second card?

But yeah, CPU does look like it's holding you back.

Yeah, it's not counting the second card in this test at all.

I have an I5 4690k and Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 5 MB in my cart right now.

If I do this i'll need to sell of my current cpu and MB. Don't know how fast I can sell it.
