sign of things to come

well I just put in my new 5850 in my now 12 months since last upgrade system

do note that this is BONE STOCK NO OC nothing at all.

I don't have the PRO 3dmark 06 so it's online viewing but the  results say alot, I have almost equaled the 4850's results ( which were 15k, oc'ed to hell ) .

now do note that this is bone stock and  I have an i7 upgrade on the way with a 2nd 5850

so in about a month when my yearly upgrade is done ( and every 3 years mobo/ major change, impressive for a system originally built 3 years ago )

[Spazosaurus]

So wam now is ah joke? Is EVERYBODY upgrading boy?

[TriniXaeno]

a single 5850 doing the job of two 4850's oced to hell.

impressive. My 4870 is blushing.

I could only imagine the score when the second 5850 joins the fray.

Make space in the top 5 people. Real contenders coming out of the woodwork yes.

Arc, IsMe, Captain, Prowl, and the list keeps growing. Lihixxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[IsMe2003]

buh wha the rassss is this i really seein here boy like is ah upgrade chain reaction

Arcman! yua see wha yua cause now!  

men starting 2010 of busy busy!

nice wok prowl, cant wait to see wha happen time yua slap that i7 on with the second 5850!

LOL

my upgrades are planned and I've let my machine slip too much, down from the top 5, then top 10 now just barely in top 20. The i7 boards are not getting cheaper nor is ddr3 so waiting isn't going to help to much now.

[Arcmanov]

Wait...I now see this.  Nice upgrade.

Don't blame me for this rash of upgrades.  Blame Amazon

I'm glad I upgraded to Corei7 when I did.  Since then, the prices have gone up.  Especially for DDR3 (triple channel).
Since Intel has no competition at that level, don't expect the prices to come down soon.

yup it is amazons fault, also I know my 9450 is good but my old 975 board is the bottle neck now, no point getting another 775 socket board so here is the wish list, do note I do major upgrades every 3 years and this is over due

asus p6x58d premium 1366 board
ocz ddr3 pc-2000 ram ( yes 2000 mhz ), 6 gig to start, hoping to see 3x4 gig sticks soon
probably the i7 950 or 960, the idea is to have 3 ghz stock, I know 920's are cheap but I know where to get a good deal on 950's off amazon , they should also drop a bit with the i7 930 releasing soon, I don't like running oc to high 24/7 due to temps, no ac in my comp room and I know x58 is hot, tho I will oc for benchies
another 5850 unless 5870's drop into the sub $300 by February
a caviar black 1tb system drive, I already have a pair of 1.5 tb greens for storage and the seagate firmware bug still scares me. The raptors and ssd drives still cost to much
will keep the case, the 750w psu the other drives and blueray burner

Then prob next year drop in a i7 980 hex when the prices drop

[Prowl]

updated benchies,


same old asus p5x64 ws, q9450 but at 2.975 now
ocz ram ddr2 800 plats
new 750w silencer psu
same lian li a70b case
new ati 5850 only oc'ed to 790 1150, waiting for the i7 rebuild to do more

oh btw the run was in win 7 x64 ultimate

the screenie should say all

[Prowl]

ok the 06 run


I can't wait for the i7 now

[Prowl]

Not!

2.975 on a q9450! that sucks balls

on a brighter note guess what showed up



so as soon as ups finds my p6x58d it will be time to see how to make a real come back

[TriniXaeno]

sweet mother of........

[Arcmanov]

[Prowl]
