Core i7 gaming issue

I was at a friend's home, and he proudly showed me his Core i7 machine equipped with dual graphics card. He played BF3, with pretty high settings.

However, every 5 minutes or so, the screen froze for a few seconds, sometimes right in the battle. In one scene, the friend entered a train, facing some enemy dude with a knife. The friend was about to pull the trigger... Suddenly the screen froze, frenetic hammering on the keyboard could not instill life back to the on-screen characters.

The good thing was, the machine did not BSOD and the game resumed. But my friend (or his role in the game) found himself stabbed in the rear and fell to the floor... probably during the momentary freeze of time.

I wonder how many people have such experience.

  1. Playing BF3, I have the same problem with my 8150, with the patch, there really was no difference (slightly faster FPS).

    My only problem was with the Chip's heat. The fan noise is driving me nuts!

  2. Shame on Intel to pull such an underdeveloped chips so they cause random freezes in games, FX is far more refined than 2500k anyway.

    Are you daft? Or a stupid troll. The freezing happens on both platforms. Of course unless you are Sharikou signed in as anonymous again. Which in that case, would explain the imbecillic, retarded post.

    (Sigh) Another Sharikou as Anonymous, trying to invent a software issue as an Intel disaster.

    Yup. Extremely desperate for any kind of material. Please troll something worthwhile, you're starting to bore us!

  5. Wait for it... It's inevitable, a Sharikou as anonymous WILL make another excuse/lie as a response for his pathetic comment...

    Wait for it...

  8. Poor Sharipedo, running out of Troll Materials...

    Oh WOE! what is a clown to dooooo?

  9. For a Career Troll, running out of ways to lie is like suicide...

    As an AMD blogger myself, I hope Sharikou STFU!

    You are an embarrassment to yourself and I'm sick of posters who link this blog as some sort of joke on my site. Please do us and AMD enthusiasts a favour and leave!

  11. from time to time some the amd enthusiasm flies over here :)))

    but the most important is that amds advertisements are sharikou-like! it's a management problem! amd just can't be taken seriously.

    sharikou, you are the best ... kick the amds ass man :)))

  12. I have a BD and I was looking for links to help me see if moving higher than DDR3 1600 could help performance and by how much.

    I'm happy to tweak my system thanks to helpful bloggers and forums but this is the only AMD blog that does nothing or add any useful knowledge whatsoever. Instead, everything is all about exaggerations, useless banter and pretense to credentials and accuracy.

    The only thing I share with this blogger is a preference for AMD, but after visiting here, I feel embarrassed to have anything in common with this mug.

    Greetings from Wales!

  13. Hey mate from Wales. All is not lost, you can visit here every now and then for a good laugh. Seriously, Sharikou is one funny idiot and he knows it.

    Don't worry, this isn't about AMD anymore, this blog is all about a guy who's making a fool of himself for the amusement of others! Peace!

  14. What stupid inference! Random Freezes and you suspect the CPU first???

    OMG. This is so stupid. You disregarded Game Code, Display Driver, Display Hardware (esp. for dual gpus), Open Apps and instead went straight to CPU?

    Wow! Seriously, Epic Stupidity. I wouldn't be so critical if you hadn't claimed that Ph. D.

    Of course you probably won't mind this comment, because, as a Career Troll, you live for these kind of remarks!

  15. "What stupid inference! ..."

    He isn't a PHD! He isn't educated enough :) He does not understand how hw and sw works at all :)

    Sharikou, be more intelligent and educated!
    BTW how about yours false PHD?

  16. Leave it to Sharikou to insinuate a rat's fart into a full-blown toxic gas terrorism!

  17. Frankly, since CPU is made by Intel, I'd suspect CPU been problem, too

  18. anonymous sharikou,

    Frankly, since you are made by ..., I'd suspect you been\are problem, ...

    stupid shari-styled, but nice try :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yup. I agree, REALLY stupid reasoning. "Since it's made by Intel" what a loser.

    Sharikou as anonymous, we know it's you. You can change the grammar, but you can't change the same immature reasoning.

  20. Since MY CPU is made by AMD, I suspect it's the reason why my game is crashing...

  21. "Frankly, since CPU is made by Intel, I'd suspect CPU been problem, too"

    Wow! Typical Sharikou logic, I bet the poster's him! Since the time he modified his post is close to the time this poster made the comment.

    FYI, dear SHARISTUPID, the BF3 freeze/BSOD happens on BOTH AMD/Intel. In fact, more of the crashes happen on AMD GPUs (check BF3 site, you moron!).

  22. hey Shari, troll something else, this is so lame and boring!

    ReplyDelete
  23. This is one desperately pathetic post.

    Sharikou is obviously trying to massage the post as an Intel issue when it's happening on a disparate array of units on both platforms.

    Plus the blog is quite useless in its context except just to troll. But hey, who am I to tell him what to do? I just wished he'd make another asinine and moronic entry for us to make fun of. this one is getting old fast.

  24. Shariii, you are running out of titles! What's the next stupid one :)))

    You are desperate or ...?

  25. Poor Intellers have to resorts to insults again. How lame. And who's the troll now?

  26. "Poor Intellers have to resorts to insults again. How lame. And who's the troll now?"

    YOU ARE.

    (1) Making fun of a stupid Troll does not a troll make.
    (2) Automatically assuming anyone who hates Sharikou is an Inteller is excluded from being intelligent and is automatically a Troll. Besides, Sharikou always use the term "Inteller" so we know who you are. Idiot.
    (3) Sharikou LOVES this kind of abuse (most likely getting a sexual high)... I mean, who can be this DUMB? It's not natural!

    And YOU ARE Sharikou as Anonymous. No Doubt.

    ReplyDelete
  27. LOL. Sharikou has turned off Anonymous Comments since his blog is getting messed up!

    You think that will stop the rebuttals? Dumbass, as long as you make stupid posts, it will never stop!

    Face it. You're a joke and that won't change.

  29. Sharikunt can't handle being trolled back thus turning off anonymous - it's ok - we can just use a google account to do it...

    If he showed any signs of anything close to intelligence then maybe it'd be worthwhile to argue his points...but his points are nonsensical, his arguments less than valid, and half of his reasoning sounds like it was made up by an 8 year old...

    Top that off with lying about having a ph.d and his complete disregard for FACTS - and you have a troll - being trolled - but he can't handle it, so off goes anonymous...

    ...and the posts he deletes must hit a little to close to home, otherwise he'd leave them....

    Indeed. Unfortunately his inane rational stems from the sole purpose of making AMD a god and everything and everyone else that disputes that or may have a different opinion, no matter how reasonable, is a bag of shit and automatically an Inteller. He deliberately manipulates/interprets data no matter how insignificant to AMD's favor. Problem is, it's too obvious. On top of that, his immature lingo is counterevident of a Ph.D.

    He wears a pretend Ph.D. to mimic authority in the field yet proves otherwise. He knows it's his own doing, I'm sure of that.

    But a Career Troll is still a Troll in any shape or form. And that means any attempt to engage in a BALANCED and INTELLECTUAL discussion is remote. He will only accept AMD praise and nothing less. He's not doing AMD or us AMD enthusiasts any favors. He has only himself to blame.
