That awkward moment...

OnixRose · 11-19-2011, 11:16 PM

When your 5000$ hand-built rig can't play a mother ****ing Flash game.

So how everyone's day going?

**ninjaKIWI** · 11-19-2011, 11:26 PM

What did you possibly spend $5000 on?

OnixRose · 11-19-2011, 11:29 PM

I think I made a thread about it before I quit, I'll check 1sec.

Edit: Nvm, that was just a thread about water cooling that got no replies. Cool.

**Ziergdsx18** · 11-19-2011, 11:30 PM

What the...

**igotrhythm** · 11-19-2011, 11:31 PM

Ouch. Your rig handles the latest tech...and there's no Flash support.

OnixRose · 11-19-2011, 11:38 PM

Cpu: i7 980x
video card: gtx 480
mobo: Gigabyte x58A ud-7
RAM: 6 gigs of mushkin ridgeback i think, regardless it's not enough
PSU: mushkin joule 1200 watt variable rail blah
SSD: crucial Real SSD 64g (1st sata 6gb/s ssd on the market.)
HDDs: 2 750g western digital caviar blacks 7200rpm in raid 1
Sound card: HT Omega + Claro
Case: Thermaltake armor+ silver
some LG Blu-ray drive
some flash reader drive with a floppy bay which i cant find a cable long enough to reach to the floppy port on my mobo...not that I use it anyway
like 6 fans in this mofo, which is why I made the thread on water cooling...link here: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=116169 necro bump that shit.
some custom lighting
monitor: Acer GD235Hz, 120hz 3d capable monitor 23.5in I can't see 3d anyway because I don't have binocular vision.
kb: logitech g19 has a mother ****ing screen on this bitch
mouse: logitech mx performance.
OS: Windows 7 ultimate, inb4 linux, I'm planning on partitioning some ubuntu or something if I get another HDD. I need some wicked 5/7.1 speakers before I look at more hdds though.

that was fun to type. Also I'm poor, it took me multiple years to save up that dough.

In response to my initial "I'm bitching on a forum" OP, it could very well be that I need to update something and should probably just shut my comp down, or my web browser is a POS, or I have 115 tabs open right now, whatchu know about a workload son?

holy shit

**supermoe1985** · 11-19-2011, 11:52 PM

Flash can lag no matter your specs because flash runs through your browser and can't use all of your computers power. That's why a standalone should fix lag Standalone Guide if it still lags then that would be a real shocker!

EDIT: Really 115 tabs? If that is true then that is most likely the cause of your lag...

yeah yeah double post. I actually have allocated nearly a gig of ram to java so that i could fix lag on minecraft. Didn't do shit lol. So doing anything with flash will probably be fruitless as well.

Edit: I believe I have something similar to that thread, a guy posted a version of FFR for download after the servers crashed which I have. I think it still lags, I haven't used it in awhile though. But it lacks all the songs and is a pain to use.

Edit2: Also I should probably mention that I actually have no intention whatsoever of playing this game ever again anyway (or SM for that matter). I just think my ignorance is laughable considering I can't figure out what I need to do to make this work, or, if it can't work, how mindblowingly silly that is.

**supermoe1985** · 11-19-2011, 11:58 PM

Minecraft doesn't run on flash...it uses Java.

oh shit that's what I meant, though to be fair I haven't been on MC in a long while either. But I'm fairly certain I've tried to fix settings in flash as well. Tried multiple browsers etc.

My issues with things could stem form virtual memory allocation i guess, I also have strange problems with programs and installations due to my OS being on a separate drive. That makes no sense, I shouldn't have problems, but I do.

I hope you at least overclocked these.

mobo: Gigabyte x58A ud-7

4-6 is perfect for your general consumer, I doubt you need any more

PSU: mushkin joule 1200 watt variable rail blah
SSD: crucial Real SSD 64g (1st sata 6gb/s ssd on the market.)

HDDs: 2 750g western digital caviar blacks 7200rpm in raid 1

What?

monitor: Acer GD235Hz, 120hz 3d capable monitor 23.5in I can't see 3d anyway because I don't have binocular vision.

You bought a 120hz monitor and then didn't buy the nvidia 3D vision kit?

kb: logitech g19 has a mother ****ing screen on this bitch

You paid 200 dollars for a shitty membrane keyboard with an LCD screen

I have 115 tabs open right now, whatchu know about a workload son?

yeah that's some hardcore web browsing there, 100% load if I've ever seen it.

Why would you ever buy this. What do you use it for? Battlefield 3 and Skyrim? What a waste of money.

Wow that's just about the worst reasoning I've ever heard. Good job.

RainbowsHaven · 11-20-2011, 12:57 AM

Cool story, bro. My $800 hand-built rig CAN run a flash game and minecraft. I have also YET to find a game that I CAN'T run on full settings. It's pretty sweet.

**Ryusei_** · 11-20-2011, 01:01 AM

This entire thread hurt my soul just a bit.

In that dark place that no one likes to talk about.

The **** is wrong with you?

**UserNameGoesHere** · 11-20-2011, 01:20 AM

Spending $5000 on a computer and then claiming you're poor don't belong in the same sentence, paragraph, thread, or continuum.

I'll let you figure out why.

You know, these are all very valid explanations of why the OP is retarded.

I run a Phenom Quad-core
3.25 RAM (could probably stand to get another stick)
2.1tb HD
nVidia gtx 560ti (overclocked

)
700w Power Supply
Windows XP SP3 x32-bit (don't have the money for 7, but I want that Directx11)
Sony DR-GA500 surround sound headset
Razer Blackwidow
some piece of shit logitec mouse i found in the closet

I think I'm good man, any more than this and I'm doing video editing or doing professional graphics designing.

moral of the story: don't buy $5000 computers.
