12 GB RAM and a GTX 980 Ti Still Not Enough To Play Call of Duty: Black Ops III

Who does not know the game Call of Duty? Yes, a game FPS First Person Shooter alias whose existence has long permeated PC gamers have always anticipated attendance. Activision as publisher of the game is trying to bring this game into an annual game with improved graphics annually.



However, to be able to enjoy improved quality of graphics this game presented, require specification of a computer that can be calculated are not cheap. As reported by the Techpowerup, Friday (11/06/2015), the latest series of this game that has recently release, Call of Duty: Black Ops III continues the storyline of the sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops turns thirst and RAM usage VRAM on the VGA card.

They test series Call of Duty: Black Ops III on the use of the screen at a resolution of WXGA (2560 × 1600), supported by the processor of Intel Haswell Core i7 not mentioned the series, and coupled with the RAM at 12GB, and the use of VGA cards from Nvidia GTX 980 Ti which is the highest ranks second graphics card from Nvidia.



The result is very unpredictable, this game was still experiencing stutering aka broken when played with the configuration of the graphics "flush right" or ultra all. Whereas VGA driver that they use the latest drivers from Nvidia Game Ready 385.87 which supports the optimization for Call of Duty: Black Ops III. But broken in this game is resolved by using the highest graphics card Nvidia, Titan X, which cost 15 million range for the most inexpensive.

RAM usage in this resolution was spelled out very extreme because it touches 9GB. But what's worse is, when tested using 8GB RAM, Call Of Duty: Black Ops III reluctant to enter the main menu, and gives a warning error due to insufficient amount of RAM to run this game.

Apparently this is experienced by many users who also suffered fractures while running at ultra graphics settings. Surely this would be an extra PR for Treyarch as the developers of this game, because many thought that Call of Duty: Black Ops III is likely to have a poor memory management. Hopefully this problem immediately corrected yes, so users can still enjoy the mainstream class treats stunning graphics of this

Direct Release: Want to be Broadcaster Live Streaming, Here are tips from Plextor

Excellence Live Streaming! Become A Broadcaster Live Streaming Using Plextor SSD

With the popularity of eSports and the rapid rise of a generation of video gaming, gamers began to be a follower of the tournament and the players hero, as well as to participate in game play. Even casual games have players who live stream, which means that other players can see a variety of appropriate gaming tips and tricks clearing every stage. It also means the birth of a new business model, "live streaming economy," in the gaming industry. The call with live streaming economy refers to a model where gamers who run the channel streaming live broadcasts online gaming directly and interact with the audience, while also making money from ads. After reaching a certain number of levels of fame, they even get a chance to be the endorser of a product. Now, even internationally renowned online video site YouTube that target this market, and introducing Gaming YouTube, a channel dedicated exclusively to gaming. These show the night "live streaming" in the web industry. Plextor, a leading developer of digital storage technologies, making big preparations with a very efficient solution to give you an increase in direct streaming system.



How do I became a broadcaster live streaming?

What kind of hardware specifications needed for gamers who want to create the channel live streaming? Before talking about the specifications, first we will briefly explain how the live streaming works.

Gamers play games and capture the frames in the game simultaneously through direct streaming software; some gamers even use a microphone or camera to provide more vivid commentary on what is happening in the game. Frame and audio is transmitted to the Internet via live streaming platform and simultaneously carried out streaming directly to any person to appear.

Platform streaming directly to the high-speed compression and encoding of all frames and audio. Therefore, the performance of the following three components are very important computers in completing the task:

1. CPU: We highly recommend quad core 3GHz CPU or higher, because the software puts intensive computational load on the CPU. Greater computing power guarantee process more frames and finer image quality. Software used on live streaming can fully utilize the computing power of multi-core, multi-threading CPU. As a result, if the computing power of a single core is not enough, multi-threading can be in the activation to help computing. For live streaming video and high quality audio, the CPU performance is a key factor.
2. Memory: Basically, not to say the larger the memory size, the better. Currently, 8GB recommended for 64-bit operating systems are typical. To create a live streaming platform, 16GB or more is recommended.
3. SSD: To improve streaming frame resolution of 1080P to 4K, plus the need for synchronization between image and audio (the image and audio asynchronous is a sure way to make your audience go ...), support of high-speed SSD is needed. When the live streaming platform needed to access large volumes of video and audio data in a short time, forget traditional hard drive! Plextor SSD drive renowned for their superior performance, the quality is amazing and incredible stability; Plextor SSD models even beginners class - M6V provide access performance two times more efficient than a conventional hard drive. This prevents a direct stream of freezing disorders, and overall computer performance will not be hindered by slow storage devices.

Finally, we would like to remind gamers that in addition to the live stream computing power, do not overlook the performance of a storage device for your direct streaming platform. After all, in addition to skills, image quality and resolution is a matter of competition among broadcasters. Live streaming platform that can either give you more life experience to the audience, and that is certainly very helpful in the process of broadcasting.
