LYN STREET FIGHTER V Thread V6

Welcome to the LYN Official Street Fighter Thread

Street Fighter V (ストリートファイターV Sutorīto Faitā Faivu?) is a fighting video game published by Capcom, who co-developed the game with Dimps. It is the fifth main numbered entry in the Street Fighter series. The game was released in February 2016 for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4,[2] with a later release on Linux, and will feature cross-platform play between the Windows and PlayStation 4 versions.

Street Fighter V carries on the side-scrolling fighting gameplay of its predecessors, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. The game features the EX gauge introduced in Street Fighter III, which builds as the player lands attacks and can be used to either power up special moves or perform super combos known as Critical Arts, although the Focus Attacks from the previous game have been removed. New to this game is the "V-Gauge", which builds as the player receives attacks and adds three new techniques: V-Skills, V-Reversals, and V-Triggers. V-Skills are special attacks unique to each fighter; for example, Ryu can parry an attack while M. Bison can reflect projectiles, some of which build V-Gauge when successfully performed. V-Reversals allow players to use a section of the V-Gauge to perform a counter move whilst being attacked. Finally, V-Triggers use the entire V-Gauge to allow the player to perform a unique ability, such as a temporary damage boost for Ryu's energy balls or added hits to Chun-Li's attacks. Additionally, the Stun Meter, which has been present since Street Fighter III, is made visible under the health bars in this game. The Stun Meter increases when receiving consecutive attacks and will cause the player to become stunned if filled; thus, it encourages players to play offensively when the opponent's Meter is close to full. The game also features interactive arenas, showcasing special animations when a player is defeated in a certain part of the arena.

GPU

Apparently my graphics card has died. Started SC2, com crash weird stuff shows on screen. Dxdiag doesn't detect, GPU-Z shows n/a pixel fill rate etc, stuck on 800x600 resolution.

So, I will need a new one. But I haven't been keeping up to date with this tech lately so after a quick look through a price list, an AMD Radeon 6850/70 or nVidia GTX460 looks good but which one is more... cost-effective? My previous was a 9800GT so i'm looking to upgrade quite a bit.

My specs are:
Mobo: MSI 770-C45
PSU: Gigabyte Odin Pro 550W
CPU: AM3 Phenom II X3 720 unlocked to 4 cores
RAM: Kingstom DDR3 2x2GB

I only have a 1280x1024 monitor but i'm hoping to upgrade to full HD soon so a monitor recommendation wouldn't be bad as well.

I guess budget should be ±RM700 for each one item.

Tax for cymbals..?

Planning to order some Zildjian A Customs online from Guitar Center... Just asking, how will the tax be?

FIXED <______< OTL

Just had to manually set a drive letter OTL.

Rounding error in Prime95.

hahli9 — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 11:34:59 +0800

RIG:
AMD Phenom II 720
2 x 2GB Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz
XFX9800GT
MSI 770 C45
Gigabyte Odin Pro 550W

Anyway, a little update, I tested to see whether it was a RAM problem by testing one RAM at a time. Turns out there is no problem with the RAMs at all. Prime95 blend mode goes through 7 tests without a hitch. However the moment I put two of the RAMs at the same time I get a rounding error. And I doubt it's the slots that has a problem since I've tried every slot. Gah, such annoyance. D8

I have yet to use memtest though. I shall do that tomorrow.

Recommendation please!

So, I have about RM1000 budget to upgrade my com. I already have a XFX 9800GT which is good enough for me.
So what I'm asking is a recommendation for a MoBo, CPU and RAM first. HDD can come later if necessary.
I'd also like the hardware to be a bit future-proof lah.
Oh, I don't need a rig designed to destroy games. And I doubt I can get one with that budget anyway. Like maybe Crysis on Medium-High/High-ish at 1440x900 res is enough.

Also another question that's been bugging me for some time, is it worth it to use DVI cables?

Oh and my PSU is a Silverstone Strider ST400.

Thanks in advance, ya?
