Well the 280x has passed. So now have gone back to the mobo supplier as I am still within warranty.

cheers mate, will check it out. I have RMAd the 280x which was causing me problems, as I was worried I would have the same problem. Hopefully I don't need to resort to buying a new mobo.

For some reason my 280x won't work in my PCIe 3.0 slot, so I have to put it in my 2.0 slot. Which is fine, except my motherboard can't fit in my case. So, am looking for a minor upgrade to a better mobo, but don't want to update chipset.
anyone have a spare lying around, flick me a PM.

does it make much of a difference though? Is it possible just to switch off all the features on the router? I'm getting good download speeds (32Mbps down and 9-10Mbps up with VDSL).
There is a little bit of not wanting to spend any money on it, but also just having stuff lying around. Now I've sorted the DHCP and turned off most features on the modem/router, it seems to be working fine.
edit - ok, I have just seen the benefits of a switch. I'll sell the router which still retails for about $300 and swap it out... that'll shut me up.
What model router?
Netgear dgnd3700. Will throw it on tradme for $100

You're right with the sdd comment.

yeah, i see, but I have a working router and no switch. Don't really wanna fork out for a switch no matter how cheap...

Q6600 @ 3.6
2xhd5770
6gb ddr2 800
1tb sata hdd
Win 8.1
1920x1080@60hz
All settings low
25-60fps
3-4 min loads on some maps
Semi playable, some 64p maps run extremely bad, China rising maps run best/load fastest.
Flogging this dead horse all I can, can't justify spending $$ on PC gear
throw an SSD in that puppy and you'll feel better.... Here is my video showing the difference.

Know there is prob a particular section for this but....
Have conned the mrs into letting me do a cheap upgrade to my PC 
To be more precise she we decided to spend a whole lot on her so we I decided to spend a wee bit on myself.
***sighs and remembers a simpler time when he was the master of his own universe***
Anyway....
Currently my CPU is the main bottleneck running at 99% while using only 70% of my Ram and my 2xHD5770's are only using 50-60% of the GPU and 75% of their Ram.
Am I correct to assume that in my case an SSD would make a negligible difference?
Am considering getting the items below
AMD FX8350 $274.55
8gb Gkill ripjaw DDR3 1600 $108
Asus Sabertooth Motherboard $290.50
$673.05 plus $20 to courier to Sth Island
Will upgrade vid card in near future and then SSD
Hold up there tiger. Before you jump into solution mode, what exactly is the problem? What CPU do you have? When does it run at 99%? What are you doing in order for that to happen? I have an i5 3570k (Ivy Bridge) which is fine 99% of the time, then when BF4 is going, it loads up to 95-99% too. How many FPS are you getting on a 32 player server vs 64 (64 strains, a lot)? SSD will get you into the game quicker than all the other mofos (ie if you're quick and don't piss around you get a pretty good selection of vehicles if they're on the server). Pretty much it'll change your who computer experience. Need to restart? pfft, don't bother going to the toilet! It'll be back on before you lift the toilet seat. Need to open excel? Don't even have time to read the ribbon (2010). Things just get done, quick smart... Personally, depending on your CPU, I would go for an SSD over any upgrade at the moment. Unless you have a Pentium 2 or something...

How else would you do it? I could get a 4 port power line adapter, but that's additional cost.
It's quite neat in think. Upstairs, wifi, downstairs 4 port router with 3 ethernet devices.

Sounds awfully like two DHCP servers on the same network giving out different address ranges. If your previous modem/router is still plugged into the network you will need to turn off the DHCP server on it.
It's unplugged sitting unused on the desk. wait - no, I lied. Yes, this could be it... I have a router on the other side of my power line utility device. While I can't see why it would be trying to assign IP addresses, it is highly likely this is the cause. I have logged in and turned this off, might be too late to worry about it now, but it makes sense. essentially my network goes like so Huawai modem/wifi router Wifi apple tv tivo everyone else's shit then: power line utility plugged into Huawai router power line utility in my office, plugged into another router all my shit plugged into the router, no wifi enabled. So now i've flicked off the dhcp it should be fine. Good catch.

I recently installed the new Huawai telecom generic modem, but am having all sorts of issues with IP being assigned within the network. The default IP configuration for the new modem is 192.168.1.254. When it came out, the IP range was 192.168.1.40 and upwards (why it started from .40 I don't know?).
Previously, my modem was 192.168.0.1 and IPs started from .2. So, rather than set up a new network, I kept the same SSID and everything seemed to work. But there started to be some issues with the assumed IP addresses from the devices, all of a sudden they were operating off the 192.168.0.1 configuration. So I manually changed the IP to add the "1" in instead of the "0" and it worked. So I got sick of doing that, so I created a new SSID (rather than the old one), the devices STILL try and work off the 192.168.0.1 configuration. Now as far as the computer/apple tv/iphone/samsung galaxys are concerned, it should be a new network, yet all of them keep shitting out and unable to get internet access due to the IP issues. Which leads me to believe it must be a wifi router issue. In fact, come to think of it, I had the same problem over cat5.
wtf - anyone heard of this??
I am considering changing the network on the moment to utilise the 192.168.0.1 configuration instead. It just seems a little odd that I should have to do this.
the reason for starting at .40 instead of .2 is so you have a range that you can have statically assigned IP devices (like IP phones, Printers etc.)
Anyways- if they are anything like the Thomson ones, you will probably have to do this via CLI, (see if there is a CLI guide) the problem is that the DHCP service won't be configured to hand out IPs in the 192.168.0.0/24 range - its still handing out addresses in the default 192.168.1.0/24 range, whereas the device will be configured on 192.168.0.1.
Could probably figure it out - if you send me the model number of the Huawai modem, will have a nose
Cheers dude, I have gone with the easy decision which was to change the base IP and ignore why the other issue was appearing. Path of least resistance I guess. Sooner or later my curiosity will get the best of me, I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Have you released the DHCP leases on the devices?
yeap, also tried forgetting the network etc. I have given up and simply decided to change the configuration of the home network to be 192.168.0.1 onwards, seems to have worked without a problem. But the issue is that when I created a new SSID, as far as the devices are concerned, they could be in a new house or location going into someone else's network. So there is no logical reason for them to attempt to not confirm to the IP structure. It should be fine going forward, but a real mystery.

An update for anyone who cares. I now have an awesome set up at home. I have my main/home PC running through my monitor. I have my pc HDMI running into an HDMI switch and then into the monitor. I have my laptop docking station with an HDMI cable running to the same HDMI switch. To make it even better, I bought this, now I have my keyboard and mouse running into the USB switch. So if I want to switch between my work laptop and home computer, it's the case of quickly pressing the button on the HDMI switch and USB switch and it jumps over. As i have a Logitech G510, I can see instantly what setting is active as the profiles are different, keys = green when home pc, and white when hooked up to work laptop. As I already had the HDMI switch for the PS3/PC, I kept it, I could have bought an HDMI/USB switch, but didn't both. Pressing two buttons isn't that much extra work. Prior to this, I was juggling two mice, two keyboards (+ the laptop keyboard too I guess). Now, all is tidy.

The first book was supposed to be a short story (but 'novelised'), I have started the second book, but fuck it is hard to get into. It's completely random and has nothing to do with the first book... (well, I'm a chapter in and Ender hasn't even appeared yet).
I'd read the first book, watch the movie (if you haven't already) then try with the second book.

I have a 1.24GB update going through now. this will be helpful Performance tools
To simplify measuring performance in the game we’ve added a new tool to the in-game console to record frame times for later analysis. Simply run “PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 1″ to start saving frame times and “PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 0″ to stop. The resulting .csv file will be located in Documents/Battlefield 4 which can be opened & graphed by Excel or other applications for viewing.Another in-game tool that is useful to use is “Render.DrawScreenInfo 1″ that will now show additional on-screen information about your CPU & GPU config, resolution and as well as if Mantle or DirectX 11 is used for rendering. Fuck me, downloaded the 1.54GB in 5 mins...... very happy with that on a standard 15mbps download speed. Edit: the Catalyst 14.1 beta isn't available yet... http://www.custompcreview.com/news/amd-catalyst-14-beta-driver-enables-mantle-frame-pacing-fix-hsa-support/19954/The AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta driver is expected to be available at AMD’s website sometime today.

And yes sorry: it's Ethernet over power .
nah nah, wasn't having a crack at you. It is officially called "Power over Ethernet" which is what you said. But I'm saying that in general I think it should be called Ethernet over Power.... seems like it is backwards.

I have constant stutter of the 0.5-2 second (i.e. have clawed one eye out due to frustration already) variety and I'm starting to wonder about my connection (Fibre, but via a power plug ethernet). Is this a common thing?
Sorry if this is a well known thing: I haven't really trawled forums for whether it's a universal thing or not...
i dont' have fibre, but I have power over ethernet. Shouldn't it be Ethernet over power? Anyone, last night was a real shitter of a night if that is what you were referring to. Otherwise I am all good. What GPU are you running? SLI and Crossfire has had some stutter issues.
