Beats mine by a mile. I just bought a GeForce 6800GS 256MB graphics card...I can run settings in BF2 on high with little or no frame loss on-line.
Hard to believe just a graphics card could make so much of a difference. I've gone through all my old games to see what they look like...C4 looks killer, BHD...gonna reinstall Joint Ops this week for he heck of it. I upgraded my powers supply to 400w to help with the extra power connection on the graphics card.
I should have gone 64bit when I first upgraded this but I'm pretty satisfied with what I got right now...well until Bluetiereign gets around to sending me his computer anyway!:wink1:
Sorry Charger, all my 64bit systems have been taken already. The wife has laid claim on the 'old' AMD3700+ system. My parents are getting the 'ancient' AMD3200+ that started this idiocy.
The sad part - the FX-60 will be 'obsolete' in May when the M2 arrives, bringing with it the FX-62.
I'm still hoping this setup will last a couple of years.
Crap...that means my system was out-dated yesterday.:smug:
LOL Most systems now days are out of date before you get them home. But I know how you feel. Mines a about 2 years old. Still plays all the games that are out. But I'm sure I'll have some problems on the next wave of new releases. Hell My first car lasted longer than my PCs do. And it didn't cost as much either.Quote:

http://graebtech.com/bench11.jpg
I was thinking of getting one of those fancy new laptops. What do you think of this model.
http://cte-hq.com/Graphics/laptop.jpg
Nice...and it's portable to!:thumb:
Athlon 64 Dual Core 4600+ 1mb cache - 939
NForce 4 SLI motherboard
BFG's NVidia GeForce 7900 GT
1.5GB Mushkin 3200 DDR
Antec 450W
New System:
- AMD 9950BE Quad-Core 125W -- OC'd to 2.85ghz
- ASROCK A780GXE/128M Mainboard
- 4 Gigs OCZ 8500 -- Running in Dual Channel @ 1066
- EVGA 260GTX Video Card --216 Core
- SilverStone 750Watt PS
- Sceptre 24" LCD -- 1920 x 1200
- Antec Nine Hundred Gaming Case
A couple of footnotes -- 4 more gigs of RAM on the way - I just wanted to make sure this RAM played nice with this motherboard. 2 more WD Sata HD's on the way... just wanted to see if all of this was going to work first - as I get older, I get more sceptical. Anyway...
I load up 3DMark05 and get some frustrating results. I cannot figure out why the score is so low - compared to the FX60 with a 7800GT. I can load up Crysis and FarCry2 with Very High and Ultra High Setting with 2X(AA) without a problem - it is unreal. Even with the Dual 8600GT's running in SLI - I couldn't have any settings on High - without taking such a huge framerate hit, the games were miserable to even play.
I can't figure it out. Anyway, here are the results.
For real, nice system there duder. The only upgrade I've made in the past few years was a 7800GS which plays all the games I'm interested in real Nice on moderate settings. I am somewhat envious of your system and can imagine how great the graphics must look with such games as Crysis and Farcry2. My son has a dual core, PCI express Nvidia 8800GT, 4Gigs of Memory and I've seen some amazing graphics on that so I can imagine what your getting.
Mine isn't quite as high as yours but here it is.
http://www.powarriors.uni.cc/Graphics/3dmark1.jpg
Was wondering what the difference is between 3D Mark 05 and 06.
- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs) OC'd to 3.6ghz
- Motherboard: ASUS Striker II 780i SLI
- Memory: 4092MB RAM Corsair XMS2 PC8500 running dual channel mode
- Hard Drive: Samsung HD10 SATA/300 32MB buffer 1 terabyte
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+
- Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3
- Monitor: HP mx70/Envision - dual 17" CRTs (yeah I know I need to upgrade those)
- Sound Card: Plantronics DSP
- Speakers/Headphones: Plantronics DSP Game Pro 1
- Keyboard: Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite
- Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser
- Computer Case: APEVIA X-Infinity
- Power Supply: BFG 680W
The difference is much better graphics - lighting and shadows.
You also beat me in 3dMark06. Score posted below.
Since yesterday - and after talking to MasterX - who also has a Black Edition - I discovered a couple of things. Number One... I am running an nVidia card on an AMD chipset. Not the smartest thing to do - since AMD owns ATI.
Secondly, Vista machines do better in DirectX 10 environments - which neither Mark05 or Mark06 use.
What I do know is that I can play Farcry2 and Crysis on Ultra High Settings with AA running and never break a sweat. The CPU's sit at 50°C while playing both of them. The Video doesn't lag at all... it is really fun to play and look at.
There are some people submitting those scores who scored 45,000 on machines OC'd to 6Ghz. All l I've been chasing is a good video experience since FarCry (the first one) made my 6800GT AGP beg for mercy. I'm happy now...I finally caught up.
Chasing the latest upgrades can become addicting as well as expensive.
Here is the 3dMarkVantage Result.

What I find interesting about this post is that it started in Sept. 2002. Kind of neat to look back at was was running then compared to whats out now. My how things change over the years.
Pretty interesting RAB, to see the comparison on how computer system can change in only a few years. Though I've set out to do a complete upgrade I settled for upgrading components instead, which I've had for a few years now and still does ok. I can not run games like Crisis, or FarCry and the like but it runs the games I love pretty decent.

How things change... That's very true! I started playing C4 with dial-up, on a Gateway 800 Delux that only had 512MB memory when it came, and could only take 768 max..or something like that.
It had a 32mb vid card, that I upgraded to a 64mb, and then to a Nvidia 5200 with a whopping 256mbs... My biggest upgrade.. CABLE INTERNET (Woo Hooo) LMAO Once I had cable, that made all the difference... I could actually see who killed me (sometimes) and I learned to die alot faster...LOL
Man, that seems like a lifetime ago...
