I need help!

Submitted by Sha8doW on Tue, 03/12/2013 - 10:54

Haha, I know what you’re think but no, not that sort of help!

I mean IT help and advice from the trusted IPX Team.
I currently have an Evga GTX 285 classified GPU. Rest of the system is an intel i7, 1336 running on a P6X58D ASUS mobo, 4gig of ram, 2×1.5tb WD Green HDD, 2×180gb raptor HDD, 950w PS.

My issue is, over the last year or so, the specs of a once epic machine have become sub par, espwcially in the GPU department, however it’s been able to handle everything I’ve thrown at it – at medium settings! For certain games which are intense I drop them to low, but the difference is negligible! (Will take more about that later)
Now most know, the gpu card runs hot, real hot, +85 degrees and the fan is at full tilt! (You can hear it when im on mumble – its that jet fighter wngine in the vackground) It’s always been like this. It goes hard or goes home!

Payday 2 Steam Sale - on now. Go get it!

Submitted by Sha8doW on Mon, 02/12/2013 - 16:12

Payday 2 is currently on sale on steam! $13.49USD for the next 13hours
That’s 55%off

If you don’t have it, get it, even if you don’t have a PC that can run it, buy it!

It’s seriously my pick for game of the year. Forget your “failfield ghosts” or your “call of battlefail4”
It’s a multiplayer co-op FPS where you become a bank robber pulling off heists!
It’s supported by the developer, so far 18 quality patches with updates and content and 1 DLC!

Get it, it’s worth it!

Hardware Helping Hand

Submitted by Kazashi on Fri, 29/11/2013 - 12:39

In a nutshell, my current base system is getting a little long in the tooth. This Athlon 64 X2 4200+ has done me very well for the past several years, but I figure it’s time to get a long-term upgrade now while I can still afford it (some of you know what I mean here….).

Upgrading the CPU means upgrading the motherboard, which means upgrading the RAM. I’m thinking along the lines of an AMD FX CPU, mobo, and hopefully 8GB of RAM. Near $300 would be great, $400 would be doable, suggest anything higher only if you’re willing to donate ;)

So, for an example:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (I prefer the lower wattage models, don’t need an octacore unless the price is really right).
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 Evo R2.0 – 4 DIMM slots ideally, USB 3.0 is nice, haven’t researched the different chipsets available.
RAM: Not sure… 8GB of whatever suits best. Always had good luck with Corsair.

Any ideas, suggestions etc. would be appreciated.

X Rebirth

Submitted by Somtin on Tue, 12/11/2013 - 22:11

I would love to write pages on how this game looks amazing, but I think there is no way I can describe it better than a few videos.. Check them out.

Comes out 15/11. Singleplayer only so it’s not like we can play it as IPX, but whoa, looks incredible.

R.I.P ID software

Submitted by linuxslacker on Fri, 08/11/2013 - 19:48

Qlive Forum Link

ID software has been getting worse and worse past few years but this seems to be the end for Linux support for quake live(from what i read it never worked right on linux anyway) and probably the end for linux and Id software(all their linux devs are gone now even carmack has moved onto the occulus(his position is more cosmetic in ID now))

kinda weird they took Quake3 which was great and broke it and made quake live in the browser and now they are taking it out of the browser and dropping honestly the best feature of quake 3(cross platform support). atleast ioquake3 is still as awesome as ever and steam is doing wonderful things for linux(they just announced total war: rome 2 out on linux next year)

NBA League Pass - FREE TRIAL

Submitted by Sha8doW on Wed, 30/10/2013 - 20:14

Here at IPX we like our sports! eSport, roundball, ovalball, small ball, large ball, arrows, pucks, yep you name it!

One sport Fuzz and I really like is Basketball! And there is no bigger stage, when it comes to basketball, than the NBA!
Being in Australia, we need to watch the NBA via a system called NBA International League Pass. This Pass gives you unlimited access to watch any game throughout the season and finals! That’s right you can watch each of the 30 NBA teams play their 82 game regular season, plus the all star game, and all of the Finals!!!
You can watch them when you want, as many times as you want: live, delayed, highlights or condensed!
my experience is that it comes though in HD quality, and it absorbs just under 800mb of downloads per game! (but i can even watch it when Im shaped)!
You can watch it via PC, XBox, Apple TV, Apple Apps for iPhone/iPad etc Android, Windows Phone & Kindle
