Letter from the Producer XLII

[Dominec]

Man i have a i7 3770k OC to 4.2GHz with SLI GTX 670 FTW edition and i still dont hit 8k on high but i think SLI only work on fullscreen mode ? maybe anyone can correct me there?

On topic
I cant wait for Beta to start =) I wish yoshi-P stops here in Florida so i can offer him some CUBAN coffee he will love it =) that will keep him awake all night =D

You need to overclock your Intel CPU if you want to hit 8k with old benchmark.

High res single GTX 680 slightly overclocked with 3930k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, 2400 Mhz memory.

Low res single GTX 680 slightly overclocked with 3930k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, 2400 Mhz memory.

Wow, I have a i7 3930k overclocked to 4.0 Ghz, GTX 680, and ram speed of 1600 Mhz.
Low res was 8582
High res was 7387

I'm scared to overclock my computer anymore because I don't want it to overheat. Pluse I'm still fine-tuning my computer.
Any advice you can share?

Edit
(To also keep from getting too off topic)
I hope Yoshi's media tour will help promote the game well. I really want this game to do great!

I hope it won't upset the devs too terribly that I will probably not be buying a new graphics card for their new benchmark. I'll have to get my specs when I get back home, my computer's probably a dinosaur now despite not burning through half its storage memory.

That CPU over clocks well, but it best to use a good cooler. I have a Corsair H80i cooler. When overclocking I run Real temp and Prime95 that puts 100% load on all cores. I do overclocking in increments making sure the temperature remains in check for each increment.

My current clock speed is 4.7 Ghz and 1.35 voltage.

I try to keep the voltage as low as possible because higher voltages creates a lot of heat. That voltage the works for my CPU might not work for yours. You may have to increase to add stability.

ya I haven't bothered overclocking my 3930 yet, I was lazy, I overclocked my 970 to 4.2 on air, I have the corsair H80i on this too so I can probably get it pretty good... just haven't bothered I probably will before release or after..

How well do you think a Cooler Master CPU Cooler Hyper N520 can work?
Also... I only did the auto-overclock option on my bios. I don't know how to adjust it manually.
Motherboard- ASUS Rampage IV Extreme if that helps.

Sadly the English Live Letter will probably be out a week after the Beta starts x.x

At least we get translations via twitter/the forums.

It will probably work, however it's not the best cooler I see from reviews so you may be limited on how high you can go.

If you google overclocking guides with that motherboard you probably can find details what you can set.

I have ASUS Rampage IV gene, which should have a similar bios. I overclock manually because some auto overclocks weren't that stable and seem to set a higher voltage then what was needed.

The hairstyles look nice on the Elezen and Lalafell. I'm ok with races sharing hairstyles as long as it's done in good taste aka not every hairstyle will look good on another race. SE seems to be doing a good job so far in which ones are shared.

I never quite understood when people complained about Elezen proportions. They're looking at it from a human's point of view! The Elezen are probably looking at us and going "Ew their necks are so short!" xD

Also, benchmark screens are looking great. Can't wait!
