Well it is here, the 7900 GT

Installed and going to take it for a spin in Spellforce 2 now then 3DMark 2006 next.

Well Spellforce ran considerably better. I turned up all the bells and whistles and the game still runs better than it did before with the 7600 GT. However, when a ton of units engauge in battle, it still slows down a bit.

Judging from my 3DMark Scores as well, I would have to say the CPU is holding me back now. The Sempron 2800 just cannot feed this monster fast enough. Time to upgrade again.

yeah, that cpu real bottleneckin your system,my system has not gone under the knife since,was gonna go dual 7900gt's,but scraped that for now,as i havent met any game that i cant run cranked all the way up, so for now i just chillin. i go buss a lil 3dmark 2k6 score later with everything oced to the maxxxxxxx , btw baego, what 3rd party you went with for the 7900?

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #83 on:** May 17, 2006, 07:50:27 PM »

Yeah, most definitely.

Now I have to decide whether to go for an OC-ed rig or the best stock CPU I can afford.

decisions, decisions.

AMD 64 3800 (Non dual core) FTW?

As for 3rdParty...if you mean the brand of the 7900GT, it an EVGA 7900 GT CO. Same as my 7600.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #84 on:** May 18, 2006, 12:46:08 AM »

There's a 3800? Didn't even know that. Yuh might have to get a new motherboard though.
Go with the DFI NF4-D, or the SLI version.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #85 on:** May 18, 2006, 06:23:44 AM »

Hmmmmm hopefully that Evga doesnt explode on yuh since that is one of the cards that giving the most trouble...the co in particular.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #86 on:** May 18, 2006, 08:17:55 AM »

Well I read that it was the 7900 GTX that was givin the most trouble, not their 7900 GT, since the GTX is clocked a lot faster.

So my fingers and toes crossed.

Yeah boy Arc, new mobo for sure, cause I runnin on 754 right now. I figure the plain vanilla 3800 would be better all round since it has a higher mhz rating than it's dual core brethren.

Rise of Legends hit me a slap in the face last night, saying my processor to slow to turn on three gameplay options.

The Sempron 2800+ is a 1.6Ghz CPU and they want minimum 2.0Ghz to turn on those additional bells and whistles.

Upgrade immc

lol @ game laffin at ur rig an tellin yu to salt

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #88 on:** May 19, 2006, 09:20:52 PM »

I've decided on a CPUafter extensive research (reading tomshardware.com till your eyes bleed).

AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 1600MHz HT Socket 754 (2.4 Ghz 512K l2 Cache)

US$149.00 street price.

Sweet part being, I don't have to change my mobo. Going 939 and a higher rated cpu would have netted only marginal gains over this chip after pouring over benchmarks. Definitely not worth the $$ in my book.

Stay tuned for the new benchmarks when the chip arrives.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #89 on:** May 21, 2006, 07:56:03 AM »

Well this is a shocker.

Just swapped the 2800+ Sempron with my old A64 3000+ and saw a massive 1096 score improvement in 3D Mark 2005 and an equally impressive 461 jump in 3dmark 2006

Resulting in these much more respectable figures.

Well I have just updated Official Benchmark list.

Current Standings are as follows:

1st Place:
Veggieman:

AMD 64 3000
1 GIG OCZ Gold(2-2-2-5)
DFI Ultra D
BFG 7800GT
250GB HDD

3dmark 2005 8234

2nd Place:
Baego Home PC Upgrade:

I am certain the standings are about to change with Prowl's monster rig on the loose. Also Trinithereturn is surely gonna claw away at a top spot thanks to his Core 2 Duo.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #93 on:** October 12, 2006, 12:36:00 PM »

well prowl sticking

but he does have a benchmark of 5240 i think or 5230 3d mark 2k6 so once he post that
it will be the winner.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #94 on:** October 12, 2006, 03:23:10 PM »

yeah, that is a solid 1240 3dmark 2006 points he has over me. Surely blazing into #1 with that.

I am curious to see how many Veggie's rig can push but he only gave us 3dmark 2005 scores.

Prowl · « **Reply #95 on:** October 12, 2006, 06:40:12 PM »

Well since you ASKED for it!

Intel core E6600
Asus P5w64
1g ocz ddr2 800
WD 250 gig sataII ( another 250 and a 320 on the way! )
ATI x1900gt

3dmark 2001 Est 47,000 ( Trini did this with the E6300 and x1800xt )
3dmark 2006 5285
3dmark 2006 6194 OC'ed to hell
35mark05 9736 first @ stock speeds.
35mark05 10470 slight OC

BTW my 3dmark06 was run at 1280x1024

wow nice score there, time to upgrade yes

W1nTry · « **Reply #97 on:** October 16, 2006, 11:25:52 AM »

Men doh know bout THUMBNAILS OH WHAT??? GG or even holding down the alt/shift to print screen JUST THE WINDOW YUH WANT... geez pplz.. come on it's not THAT hard to just post the relevant pics and NOT the WHOLE bloody desktop. I may have to make that a requirement of posting benchies oui!

Arcmanov · « **Reply #98 on:** October 17, 2006, 06:55:10 AM »

Its more 'authentic' I think if you capture the entire desktop, but I agree that the pics should be made smaller. A simple pic resize should do the trick.

Prowl · « **Reply #99 on:** October 21, 2006, 06:54:46 PM »

Update

New top 4! since jedi has the ubber 7900gto

1# Beomagi is still #1 3dmark06 6293
2# Jedi 3dmark06 6102, 3dmark05 10570, he can still get more out of that card
3# me, 3dmark06 6194, 3dmark05 10470, I'm maxed out

for comparo, it seems 2x 3dmark06 roughly= same on 05
