Title: To computer specification kings
Post by: c1ashpwnz on July 30, 2012, 07:40:26 PM
Hola frands,

Since i'll probably be playing the new server, i figured i'd buy a new computer. What part of the computer should I focus on when considering playing l2? Is it the graphic card? the processor?

thanks.

ssd for sata3 and nice oc on cpu, thats all u need to play on decent fps

ssd hd cost quite a lot tho, what capacity would I need i your opinion?
don't tell me a good graphic card isn't a must :o

60gb for system/l2 is more then enough, and if it comes to gpu it just shouldn't be wooden (so it wont bottleneck cpu), cuz most likely modern graphic cards will stay idle while playing l2 :D

Post by: Tazman on July 30, 2012, 08:30:03 PM
like kornes said ssd 60gb for system and l2, cpu with as much ghz as you can + 4gb ram to avoid loadings after tp, graphic card can be for 20euro and its ok for GF.

Post by: Fatality, on July 30, 2012, 08:30:49 PM
intel pentium 4 is the best option :D

Solid Mobo and PSU + what kornez said above

Voltage section should have at least 8 phases for cpu and 2 for ram, and ofc they should have solid heatsink
PSU with at least 400W at 12V rail from best brands like OCZ, Corsair, XFX

if ur building new PC and think only about L2 pick some passive GPU or very quiet and cold like some hd 7570

Thanks a lot you guys, very helpful even tho i didn' really understand the 8 phases right off the bat. I do know operational amplifier and logical gates but i wouldn't know how to calculate the Vout tensions in this circuit. how can u tell it won't be enough?

i'll look into that in detail tomorrow based on you recommandations.

Just get what i recomended and be happy, everything else woul't give even 5% diference in FPS even with 4 time price diference, also don't take processors on ivy bridge, they are harder to OC and their work temperature is higher. same going 2.6k wont give any advantage except HT that total useles for playing l2. As for me i have good MSI motherboard with 10 year varanty and good OC options  +everything also not bad, since i dont use pc only for l2. At Tauti update at last siege like 100x100 i had fps 15-25 with no SSD. In gracia final last time i played on this PC i was 5 boxing and doing siege 200x200+ without any lags from PC side, FPS was very high even on full resolution, but that time i had 17 inch monitor, now it is 23,5 and FPS kinda much lower.

MSI p67,z77 cheapset are best MOBOS for OC.
Also win XP is good for weak PC's with less then 3 gb ram, and need be reinstaled every half year, cause problems with registry, Win 7 is for good PC's and dont need any reinstall, cause all old problem's was removed, only what u need is do some managment with safety rules, because they made win7 too safe.

128 GB SSD SATA3 cost around ~90-110€, Intel 3570K ~200€ and 8-16 GB 1866/2133 DDR3 (you can use your RAM as cache for Lineage 2 and it's even faster than a SSD) - 50-150€.

Just as hint (build a value pc for a friend some months ago):

- Asrock Fatal1ty P67 Performence ~95€
- Samsung 128 830 SSD SATA 3 ~95€
- Intel i5 2500K ~180€ (new 3rd Generation cost 30€ more)
- 2x G.Skill Sniper 1866 DDR3 8 GB ~45€x2
- Coolermaster GX Lite 600W ~55€

He already had 4 TB HDDs as storage, graphic card (doesn't really matter for L2) and a PC case, so around 500-550€ for a new PC. Rig can easily handle Lineage 2 mass pvps or new games like Battlefield 3.

is that hard to use ram as cache for l2 or thats smth anyone can do? im nub ;>
Title: Re: To computer specification kings
Post by: darkflame on August 05, 2012, 02:48:20 AM
There are 2 programs to use your RAM as cache or ramdisk. RAMDISK require alot RAM, because you need atleast 8-10 GB for the client and 2 GB for the game itself. I think neiz or someone in LL had a modified Gracia Final Client just for the textures and models, so 4 GB were enough to get max performence.

Supercache: http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/supercache.php
Ramdisk: http://www.superspeed.com/servers/ramdisk.php

Note: Both programs require 8+ GB RAM (better 16-32 GB RAM), maybe less with the modified client.

im currious.. based on a sata2/ddr2 system; would increasing max ram for ramdisk/cache be supperior to a sata 2 ssd when concerning lineage 2?

i assume its just a matter of comparing opperating freq of said ram vs the data transf speed of said ssd? correct me if im wrong.

ddr2-800 ram got ~6 GB/s (ddr3-1600 even 2x more) peak transfer rate, when ssd on sata3 is ~550 MB/s at best. Also access latency to ram is literally one million times faster then to ssd (ns vs ms) :D
Title: Re: To computer specification kings
Post by: Queem on August 05, 2012, 02:46:51 PM
RAMdisc is sure better then ssd and cheaper, but... SSD compared to HDD is like 1000+% diference, and SSD compared to Ramdisc is not even 20-30% that are not even 0,3ms faster.+RAMdisc u need upload all files from ur HDD/SSD before start playing after each reboot.
Most effective way is buy 128 gb SSD for system+l2.

thanks in advance,

SATA2 max transfer = 300 MB/sec    // SATA3 = 600 MB/sec
DDR2 max transfer = 3200 MB/sec  // DDR3 = 6400 MB/sec

Access time of a SSD is 0,1-0,3 ms (depending on your SSD)
Access time of a RAM is 30-110 ns (nanoseconds)

30 ns = 0.00003 ms

The problem of Lineage 2 is the game engine. Lineage 2 is always loading textures and models for every player and npc, so a normal HDD with 7,3 ms access time kinda kill your performence (even with a i7 @ 5 GHZ and alot RAM).

All you need for Lineage 2 is a good HDD with good access time (transfer rates doesn't really matter), good CPU to handle all the data and fast RAM.

Edit:

To explain why ramdisk or a SSD is better kinda takes too long. I could write pages about it. ~~

All you need to know:

Ramdisk:

+ best access time
+ best transfer rates
+ no hardware lags in Lineage 2
- data is always "deleted" after you reboot or turn off your pc
- no improvement for the system, just for the programs or games stored on the ramdisk
- most expensive (5,65€ / GB)

SSD:

+ can be used as system drive (Windows + programs), so fast boot
+/- good access times
+/- good transfer rates
+/- almost no hardware lags in Lineage 2
- slower than Ramdisk
- still expensive compare to normal HDDs (0.9€ / GB)

HDD:

+ cheap
- slow access time
- slow transfer rates, just 100-150 mb/sec
- Lineage 2 lagging like hell

I was kinda talking about the max transfer as ramdisk, because 18000-21000 MB/sec are impossible. Real read/copy rate is around 5900-6600 MB/sec

Very good mobo bro. :)

I just use it because my old motherboard died 1 month ago and Asus still didn't replace my Maximus Gen V Z77. Still the Fatal1ty is better than your Pro3 :D

Well i dont rly need very good mobo cuz as you can see i dont use any hardcore OC so i think this one is enought for me. And i dont have any problems with pc no format since like 1 year or longer and everything working perfect.

Guys, maybe you can offer notebook, that would be fine for l2? I mean enough to handle mass pvp, i don't need any gfx effect, just smooth run.

500-600 euros I guess would be fine.

Hello, i also am looking for a new notebook, sadly but cant have a personal pc, need a laptop :( which would be fair price and good enough stats for l2 mass pvps and stuff like this and so far im thinking about this:

Asus N53SM

My option stats is:

Intel® Core™ i7 2670QM Processor
Intel® HM65 Express Chipset
DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM, 4 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 16 GB SDRAM (mine is 4gb ram)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 2GB DDR3 VRAM

Most of you write about things you dont know. SSD drives arent that good as every1 thinks they are. They improve load time, but not that much to consider buying it. If you want very fast load time (much faster then ssd) using low funds buy 12-16gb of ram, move textures or full client on ram drive and enjoy. Game is old enough that any decent parts in store are enough
Title: Re: To computer specification kings

actually u didnt add anything new to this topic cuz there was ram drive mentioned on first pages.
and the fact that game is old doesn't mean you can buy anything in store and it will work flawless...  "write about things you dont know"

I'd suggest you buy something that works on Ivy bridge, I don't want to brag or anything like such but this may be your best suggestion so far.

I got the best possible sandy bridge setup. I got 2 ssds in raid 0 - 832mb/s reading speed, an i7 2700k and a 570 nvidia,  16gb rams. buy anything that goes on Ivy bridge motherboard.

I still lag in 200 vs 200 if it happens on a 3k radius. not big lags but fps is @ 10 - 15 in alt +p. do not have such high expectations. for whatever happens to you ig... blame the fucking bad coding.

Not really important for normal customer. You never reach the max write cycles as normal user and all you need is to disable (paging files) and enable some feature. There are plenty of tutorials/guides for SSDs. Normal MTBF of a "normal" HDD is around 1-1,2kk hours and a SSD around 1,8-2,5kk hours.

You have to modify your client, so you can store the textures and models in the RAMdisk and the rest of client on your normal HDD/SSD, because 8 GB ain't enough to store the whole client.

It won't help. 4GB is enough. Unless you are going to use RAMDisk you just load whole game into RAM so you need about 8GB ram for just a game (depends what's the client size)(smiliar performance to SSD) or You just need some SSD or Intel CPU.
SSD and RAMDISK test

Even a four years old graphic card is enough for Lineage 2 (like a GTX 260/280). Better invest the money in good motherboard, better RAM (1866+) and instead of the OCZ take a Samsung or Intel.
