Solve : Motherboard upgrade for gaming please!??? |
|
Answer» I used to game crysis, tomb raider etc.. my motherboards seems to be dead. Are there any recommendations for an upgrade to HIGHER performance without switching the whole system? Out of that list i would dis-regard Asrock and Biostar both...they are 3rd tier (quality) as is MSI as mentioned above...I didn't say that any of those were good, I just said that they would work I couldn't think of any other brands off the top of my head either.

What do you mean by higher performance though? Your motherboard doesn't have much to do with overall system performance, it just connects all the bits (I know that this statement isn't entirely true). It's your CPU, Graphics card (GPU), RAM & hard disk that make all the difference. The only boost ANOTHER motherboard can give you is allowing use of the newer/faster equipment. E.g. USB 3 ports, SATA 3 ports, E-Sata ports, Optical SPDIF, etc. Also what does "motherboard seems to be dead" mean? Quote I didn't say that any of those were good, I just said that they would work I couldn't think of any other brands off the top of my head either. I never implied that...the OP stated he has used them...i was dis-couraging that practice. You seem edgy lately...everything OK ? ?But there was a , rasberies completly change the emotional inference of a sentence to that of sillyness. Also am I the only one that imagines a fart noise every time they read one of those smileys?Now that you bring it up...hehe, thank you guys, thats already a helpful list. now the good question is which is might be nice and with good quality? i just went through it and from price point of view i would only see asrock or biostar as option? but i feel biostar to be in better quality? What do you think about the A85W? thats for AMD right? The Hifi feature sounds also appealing to me Spend more and pick an ASUS or Gigabyte MBoard...Using biostar also and i am quite happy with it. by far better than the reputation everywhere. Of course its not a super expensive glamour board but fine for people who need systems that simply work. I dont understand why everybody is recommending asus though. Some of my friends have boards and honestly, if you dont by the highend products i dont see a difference I'm glad the BioStar works for you....they send a decent one off the line once in awhile.hehe, that sounds wired. Honestly i never knew any bad about the manufacturer when i got it. I am surprised about the bad reputation sometimes. It never seems there is any good on that. Maybe all the users that are happy do never post anything I mean honestly, i cannot imagine that the difference between any motherboard is that big that you can really FEEL it. It should be more on the software side that supports the features without any hazzle.You're partly right, satisfied users are much less LIKELY to write about their EXPERIENCE than dissatisfied users, it's the nature of things. it's better to RELY on industry figures and statistics, return rates, etc, than user reviews anyway, although user reviews can be helpful they're not always accurate. As for whether you should be able to feel the difference - no, the motherboard hardly ever has an impact on performance unless it's broken in some way or uses an inferior chipset. The difference is more in terms of customer support, features, longevity and reliability.I was speaking from personal experience...i'd never use either of the 2 i mentioned above ever again. |
