@youthenoob allright, thanks man, that helps me out, I will check it out and post my findings if I end up buying one of these.

RE: cpu-upgrade results in cpu-rating in FAF down
@deletethis @YouTheNoob I put back the new system (*) and activated XMP in BIOS, and FAF rating became: 197. When i compare playback, the system is now actually slightly faster then my old system. Around 15 minutes game time when put on 10+, every minute game time the new system is 10 seconds game time faster. So a bit faster, but not much.
If this is the final result, I consider selling old and new system, and look for better mainboard and CPU altogether for FAF. Any suggestions what system to look for that is interesting in second hand price at the moment for optimal FAF performance?
I put my DRAM frequency to be sure. I guess this is the stated speed as should be?
*Specs:
mainboard MSI B350 Gaming Pro (Carbon)
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 1700
2 X 8 GB DDR 4 - 3200
R9 290 II 4GB

when the game starts it doesn't come to foreground anymore
Hi guys, when I am x-ed up in the lobby and I'm at the same time in another window and the game starts, the game used to become the active screen, so i couldn't miss the start... nowadays it doesn't do that anymore, the game starts in the background, so I have to constantly check if it has started yet. Any ideas how to fix this?

Game full popup notification not working.
Hi,
I used to see a popup notification when a hosted game is full. I don't see it anymore, and I can't find it in the FAF-settings. Does anyone have an idea how to enable it?
cheers,

RE: cpu-upgrade results in cpu-rating in FAF down
@youthenoob @RandomWheelchair @Rowey @ZLO @deletethis
Hi all,
Thanks all for advice. I've installed my old system (CPU i7-2600) back and got almost exactly the same result in my +10 speed test of same replay. When I did an overclock from 3,4Ghz to 3,9Ghz the same replay was going a little bit faster. My rating in FAF went from 202 without OC to 193 with OC. So for the moment my old system is better actually better then the new one. Because ZLO was already talking about the RAM, I checked in the new system how the RAM was doing, and I remembered it was fine, but I don't remember any figures. But because of the post of deletethis I will check it, to be absolutely sure. But for that I have to put my new system back. I will do that some time later and post update.
Cheers,

RE: cpu-upgrade results in cpu-rating in FAF down
Hi Zlo, Rowey and Random, thanks for the tips. I tried all of them on the new system, but without much effect. I compared it, like Random said, by playing a replay at +10 and recording this on my phone, and then see which settings were the best. But there wasn't much of a difference. Next thing I will install my old system back and make a comparison with the same replay at 10+. And then I will know for sure what I'm gonna do. When I install scythe cooling I will also try some OC-ing with my old system. I will post the results later here for your information.

cpu-upgrade results in cpu-rating in FAF down
Hi all,
My old CPU-rating in FAF was 202 and my new pc-config gives me a CPU-rating of 233. So more, while I was hoping for a little less of course. (no overclocking in both cases)
Old specs:
mainboard Z68A-GD65 (G3)
CPU i7-2600
6GB DDR3 RAM
GPU HD 6950New specs:
mainboard MSI B350 Gaming Pro (Carbon)
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 1700
2 X 8 GB DDR 4 - 3200
GPU HD 6950
(I also have an Asus Radeon R9 290 II 4GB, but I have to fix one fan first before I can use it, but I don't think that will help, since it's more about single core CPU performance, I guess?)All specs of the CPU that I can find online are better for the Ryzen. So how is this possible that rating in FAF drops? What am I missing here?
Should I maybe go for fastest single core CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600(x) for the B350 or maybe put a better CPU on my old mainboard? Or maybe look for something else altogether? I would like some better performance in FAF late game and streaming capability.
cheers,
