New PC Build

[LC14199]

Ok so my PC specs are the following:

Core i5 4460 @3.2 GHz turbo's to 3.4 GHz
nVidia GTX 970
8GB of 1600 MHz RAM
500 GB HDD
600W PSU

So my question is, will this run FTB at over 100 frames on full settings. I'd also like to perhaps start using Sphax 128x and would it also stay above 100 frames?

PS: Minecraft is NOT the only game I wish to play, so please do not start with the GTX 970 is overkill bs. Cheers

You could run shaders and stay at your monitor's refresh rate...

I have a 120 Hz refresh rate monitor, which is why I asked about the 100 frames. So you're saying I could run sphax AND shaders and still stay above 100 fps? If so, sweet xD

I was assuming 60 Hz. You may or may not need to wait for the AMD R9 3xx cards to be able to pull that off....depending on the shaders.

Well right now, I'm running The Dark Trilogy on default textures with no shaders on 300+ fps. It goes between 200-300 fps depending on whereabouts in my base I am. Are there any pre-assembled DT sphax packs?

Also, I can drop the refresh rate to 60 Hz without any problems. It's configurable. So if I was running 60 Hz, sphax 128x and shaders, approximate fps would be?

I think you're overthinking this a bit.

You have a GTX970. It can eat anything you can throw at it for breakfast, and it will come back asking for a second helping.

lol that's probably true haha. So does anyone know of a Sphax texture pack for the Dark Trilogy modpack?
