the wonders you can do on 4 year old ram...



I think next I am going to try laxin the HTT speed, then bringing up the ddr:fsb ratio for a lower cpu clockspeed but better ram speeds. Need to see how well that would score.


man.. with some new ram I could get beastin'

took some pix of my computer..


also, I got my 3dmark 05 up to 9825. (up 200 pts). I dont think I am ever going to get 10k+ with an unmodded card. As soon as I can get my hands on some conductive ink first I am going to boost the voltage to 1.4v, the same that the 7900GTX uses. Video card was at 570/1800. I cranked it up to 585/1820 and ran 3dmark again but I was getting massive artifacts. The bench finished by my score had gone down 100 points. My video card is also getting very hot, close to 80C while benching. Anyway, with the volt mod, I have seen people getting 670 artifact free. To top that, there are some more advanced volt mods to get the card up to 1.55v, and one guy was able to get his to 800 core, which is pretty impressive!

then again.. this is with laxed cpu speeds, stable ones. If I go back up to 2600mhz then I might be able to get to it! (was @ 2400mhz for the test above)




then my old computer

I love your messy wired case.... reminds me that I'm not the only PC gamer in the world who still doesn't wire manage.
People at Millionman LAN laughed at my old PC's wiring job.

And your going to OC mod a 7900? Your brave indeed. If mine burns up, at least I can fall back on warranty. Kinda scared me when my gf's 6800 fried last week.

No warenty to break, can just wipe off the mod with acetone.
Going to need to buy a new HSF though, because the stock one is a piece of doo doo. I am already getting up to 70C on intense gaming.

But yeah.. I kind of just stuff all the wires into the empty cd rom spots.

man i ship a lot of those NINJA and SAMURAI and SPIDER and other crappy cases at work

they are so.. overly flashy. do you have STROBE LIGHTS on your car?

He is also the kind of guy that buys expensive hardware and doesnt put it to good use.. man where are the overclocking results.

I have a like Gen 4 Dell XPS.

But, I have done afew of my own things to it.

processor: intel pentium 4 2.8 ghz hyper threading (lolz)
ram: 1gb
hdd: 2x 80gb
video: nvidia geforce 6600gt 128mb
sound: audigy sound blaster 2 or something
not sure about motherboard, probably an asus or something.

My Current Rig:
3300AMD Athlon64 Processor
512MB DDR RAM
160GB Ultra DMA HD (with a 1TeraByte add-on drive)
SiS Mirage2 Graphics with 128 shared Video Mem.
2.40GHz

My Future Rig once I get enough money (and when it's released)
The nVidia Quad SLI, which is 2GB RAM, 2GB of Vid Mem, 4 nVidia GeForce 7950GX2 video cards, 3.0Ghz+ (Don't remember exact value), with my 1TB external drive + whatever HD it comes with.

It plays F.E.A.R. completely maxed out on a resolution of 2560x1600 resolution with soft shadows enabled.

IE: It can run any game on the market right now maxed out.

Saving up money for such a great purpose.

The 7950 is a single card made up of two cards packed together essentially.. So you are getting 2 7950s, not 4 of them. Also, each one has 1gig of video memory (but since it is two cores on each card, each one really has 512mb, and they all function in an array like format, so you dont really get 1gig of useable video memory). When you run in SLI that doesnt mean you add the video memory together. Also, new nvidia core comes out next september, the g80. you might want to wait for that, unless you have the money today to spend on the two 7950s.

I might do that Leafo.

The QUAD SLI according to nVidia can use either 7950GX2 or 7900GX2 cards.

But I might just go for what you said leafo.

What? I was clarifying what you said because it made no sense.

I meant that it is "4 video cards". Each card is  2 cards. Therefore 2x2 = 4.


The 7900GX2 is also 2 video cards put as 1.

The QUAD SLI is the first system IIRC to run on 4 video cards though.

Though I could be wrong on that.
