z929669 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We encourage all members to add your system specs to the wiki via the STEP Portal <-- links at top of page. We recently updated the System Specs template, so be certain to check your system specs and update if necessary. This makes it convenient to link in support forums or (even better) in your signature (see my sig below) and standardizes presentation for comparative purposes. These specs can also be linked to from any other 'presence' our users maintain in other parts of the web. ... so if you post on Reddit (or a blog or whatever), you can add a convenient link to your system specs, courtesy of STEP PS: also notice that you can create a mod page on our site, which is a welcome contribution that helps us out! (just be certain that the mod page does not already exist under a similar name! ... else we will have a redundant mod page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hishutup Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hmm, maybe also add system ram size(probably type out the number) or use a standardized format (like 2x4GB), type(DDR2, DDR3 or DDR4) and the speed(type out the number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simondererste Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Note that the System Specs wiki Template and Form were updated to allow users to indicate if they use RAID 0 when HDD storage is selected. Also added steps to the VRAM and changed the format of the options to be more intuitive. Anyone that has already entered their system specs will need to go onto their user page: http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Username/SystemSpecs then: "PAGE TOOLS" > "EDIT WITH FORM" ... and re-save to get rid of the annoying little triangle that will now appear (due to addition of a new property within the Template and Form)Done and maybe you want to add the option to enter a second screen/resolution if used.

z929669 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Agree about adding RAM, but we'll keep it in simple format. Memory speed is not really applicable to Skyrim though, and the CPU basically infers the RAM speed potential. Multi-monitor setups for games are not common, but we can add a variable for that too I suppose ... variable monitor res is just not practical though. The system specs template is accounting for the major hardware bottlenecks rather than variations to the general components (e.g., Mobo, RAM specs, GPU clocks, etc). Will update once I add those features. Thanks EDIT: I added System RAM (those of you that updated already may want to do so again!), but I did not upgrade for multi-monitor setups, because they are not practical from what I have learned. people use it, but we don't recommend it, due (fe.) to issues with presenting the game menus.

Searcher7 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 My Ultra-Mediocre rig is up. Note that from a performance standpoint (HDD I/O), I have Skyrim all over the place; game files on old, slow 5400 rpm HDDs and symlinked data (bsa's) on both a RAMDISK and an SSD. I have also extensively optimized my diffuse textures and normal maps to lower resolutions in order to feed my little 7770 a higher performance diet. Just sayin, as these type "unique" changes may slightly distort system performance indicators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 That is a fair representation though, so looks good. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielCoffey Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Since some modern GPUs can be overclocked heavily, where do we put our GPU OC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Since some modern GPUs can be overclocked heavily, where do we put our GPU OC?We don't use that data, because it just adds to the noise, and the GPU overclock does not add anything really noteworthy to performance.

BuddaBelly Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 It says that I can't change my signature until I have one more approved posts. Once that happens, I assume that all I have to do is paste the link to my profile page in the signature area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesta Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hello there. (btw : new guy incoming) I just tried this STEP's system spec feature. It seems to have a little flaw with long named GPU. There is a line skip after the 20th character, which make the following data not showing right before their description. See here : https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kesta/SystemSpecs In case it's related to my screen/browser, here is a snapshot : Don't get me wrong, It's just a bugreport, I really do appreciate the feature and the whole project otherwise ;) Cheers,Kesta Edit : updated the image link, the 1st one had ultra bad resolution. Hope it fix it. Edit 2 : Fixed ! Also, I hope this was the right thread to post this... forgot to check the whole forum, sorry. Edit 3 : Updated profile in regards of DoubleYou's comment. Thx for the hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
