Not sure why you're posting this. Was there any more specific help you wanted and did not get in that thread?

Do note that I am selling my current hardware, but that's because I've recently gone on a "More FPS Quest" that is rather absurd. OC'ed, my system goes to 4.0GHz stable. I'm sure it'll go higher than that but I've not bothered just yet to find the actual limitations. It's giving me 40fps average on BMS. The point to all this is that even my old i5 750 on a P55 motherboard can still hack it. I guesstimate that if I weren't on my search for more FPS, this system will be good for AT LEAST 1 more year, maybe 2... max 3. It is 4 years old now, so 5-7 years is a good run.

Oh, and why am I looking for more FPS? Because I am hoping to do some video capturing and doing this makes me lose some FPS. Also note that 40fps is on a triple-screen setup with a 4th screen running Helios. If I were to run just a single screen or two screens with display on one and Helios on another, my FPS would be 60+ easily.

Do your video capturing with Nvidia and Shadowplay and you won't get that fps hit. wink
Works like a DREAM, Fraps and Dxtory can't touch it in that area, but you're stuck with .mp4's.
