i have it narrowed to PSU and/or motherboard. time to get the experts in now, these 2 things are a bit beyond me.
Do these in this order:
1. Buy a kickass power supply that can support SLI or Crossfire, replace your old PSU and try it. 2. If it fails, purchase a kickass motherboard with support for SLI or Crossfirem replace your old motherboard and try it. 2.b If it works, proceed to step 2. 3. Get an SLI or Crossfire setup and be happy. Who needs SLI seriously? All the games coming out these days are ports of Console games, and thus run fine on not-so-new computer hardware. Not many developers take the risk of developing games for high-end PCs anymore, and that's the only point I can see in SLI, no?
Im gonna! My 5850 should be arriving today. I have, in the last few months, bought a new case, HDD, PSU, mobo, heatsink, fan speed controller, Blu-Ray drive and RAM. The plan was to crossfire a couple of 5850's until 2nd gen GF100s come out, then I will probably settle for a single GeForce solution.
Also because I have replaced all of my parts, I can sell my old rig once I have re-built it. I'll be looking for �300 for it: Core2Duo processor (prob an E7400, havent bought one yet) 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz 80Gb SATA2 HDD DVDRW (need to buy one of those also) ASUS P5KPL mobo 750 watt PSU Midi Tower case And a Geforce 8800 GTS 512Mb. The rig will be capable of playing all games. But no DX11 support. since I'm in the market for a new tv plus a house, I cant really afford pc upgrades right now.
Anyway, so far, no probs with the games I currently have when the machine is actually running. That's mostly Wine with a fancy frontend. Try http://www.playonlinux.com/ if you really need that.
Ricky: 750W PSU? Did you plug in a USB vacuum cleaner or what? Its a "750W" PSU with 1x PCIe 6 pin power connector :S
Never had any problems with it in my old rig, but I bought a new one :D New one is a Corsair HK series 850watt Modular PSU - which is a very good PSU :P Not that I am suggesting this may be the cause of your own problem, but this is a true story.
I was aked to look at a fridge that had inexplicably stopped working and the owner said that she had definitely changed the fuse and checked the socket by using the kettle on it, and they were OK. I checked the motor, relay and stat and all were fine. I took the plug to do a simple circuit test and got no reading. I changed the fuse and still no good. I went back to the stat, and relay, still nothing. I pulled the fridge out of its niche and then saw the problem. A mouse had chewed through the cable and that is why there was no circuit. I know it was a mouse because its little fried body was still attached. I replaced the cable and the fridge went on its way. I dumped the mouse's body after due ceremony. deserves to be news :D
I mean this is a Quake mapping forum afterall :) But either way - Thanks Baker - I will surely use this it some point :DDD Is there anyone else with an original CD of Abyss of Pandemonium? I need someone to verify my rip.
What are the most popular Quake 2 Engines? Is there any engine that has a similar "goal" to Fitzquake (ie. leaving the essence of the engine intact, while updating limits and fixing bugs)?
kmquake2 seems to be pretty popular but it smakes some core graphic changes which I'm not too fond of.
And although his initial plans may have changed, aguire's in development q2 engine had the goals you refer to. If you were on Linux, then http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/ would be your choice.
