New upgrades for me

[guadecanal_diary]

I was having PC issues the last couple of months, and I conned the IT guy at work into having a look.

My circa 2012 hard drive was very obsolete. He installed a used SSD hard drive for $40 parts and labor. He also says my monitor is so old (purchased it in 2009 i think) that it is causing issues in game play too. I think it's an VGA type, I have to use an pin adaptor to plug it into my PC.

Just ordered a new "returned" monitor from Amazon for $100, with 165 refresh rate, 1.0 m/s speed. IT buddy gave me a Display Port Cable to use with it.

Can't wait to see what happens in game play. Sometimes these upgrades result in no noticeble difference in game play.

Nice dude!

The SSD alone will make your load times skyrocket.

Im guessing it takes over a minute for a game to load on a HD. That will probably go down to 30 seconds maybe even less.

Monitor change is a big deal

I remember using the old slow hard drive to load the map and then seeing everyone at Delta flag!

When you said everyone, do you mean 4 on D and 10 on F?

I was gaming with a 5400 rpm HDD, then a 7200 rpm HDD, then an SSD and at the end of the day, I finally ended up with a 2TB M.2 NVMe along with my 240hz, 1ms monitor.

In the beginning I had a 60hz monitor, I was being killed way too quick, now at 240hz I'm shooting from Golmud and killing people in Metro.

Receiving many BF4 new GM shooting ribbon.

All the cool players that had SSDs went to Delta. Then the slow ones logging in went to F since everyone else was at D. Only thing left was jeeps.

75hz is a sweet spot at metro
