colsoop Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I finished building / setting up my pc upgrade yesterday I went for the following components: xfx 7950 GT Core 2 duo 6400 Corsair xms 6400 1GB Msi p965 motherboard. I did a few tests in 3d mark 06 and it scored 5640 which im really pleased with. I was playing half life 2 with everything on max yesterday at the highest resolution my monitor supports and it was flowing along at 80 -100 fps. Now on to the overclocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 well done Col, those specs are making me drool! A few years ago I wanted to make a games rig for playing flight sims but was baffled technical jargon and gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 You sure your score is ok? Mine gets 5983 with the following spec X2 4400 (oc'd to 2.5ghz) 2gb Geil RAM 7900GT My girl friends gets 7981 X2 4800 1gb Corsair Ram 2x 7800 GT's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 How the hell do you get PC Mark and 3d mark to work? They seem to bomb out on me... My 7900GTO, E6600, 2gb, MSI 965i need to be tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 hmm could be a program running in the back ground, mine crashes if I over clock to more than 2.6ghz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 hehe I wasnt going to say anything. Anyone know how to unlock the RAM speed on a gigabyte Triton board as I cant overclock my girlfriends cpu because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 2gb ram and your cpu is running 2.5 ghz (mine 2.12) which bumps up the CPU score which is part of the overall 3dmark 06 score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ahh not too sure about Intel speeds so didnt know yours was only 2.12 you should be able to overclock it like a bitch tho from what I have heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase_93tt Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Ive nearly finished putting together my gaming rig Nvidia 680 Sli mobo 2gig 667 Ram 2 x WD raptors SATA 1 x geforce 8800 gtx (with another due in soon) E6700 core 2 duo processor (2.4ghz) 3dmark 06 got 9,800 (nothing overlocked) Cant remember exact score for 3d mark 05, but think it was 17K or something. Cant wait to test it in SLI mode as these 8800gtx's rock something wrotten I had to fork out some serious power supply unit to get the 8800gtx to run. The unit I got is a proper quad sli 730w one, which can handle 4 x 7950's, but only 2 x 8800 gtx's. My previous psu, was only 550w and that sucked big time in getting the card to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesArup Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Something I understand at last! I just built a new rig too: - Asus P5W DH Deluxe Wi-Fi (overclockers dream) Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 2GB OCZ 800mhz DDR2 Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality + Creative Gigaworks 7.1 system ATI Radeon X1900XTX 750w Thermaltake PSU 24" Dell Widescreen Monitor Razer laser mouse Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Warcraft owns now . Do I win the geek shootout? Haven't started overclocking yet (need to sort out cooling), but it flies as it is Ta, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 James, what's the monitor like??? I was going to get one with next April's bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 **Really should look into overclocking** Where do I start?... That's a BIG question, and one that's not very easy to answer. Your best bet would be to go to some overclocking/PC forums (I use Futuremark amongst others). Usually those places have some good beginners guides. The monitor is great Alex ... makes everything just seem so much bigger and better. Makes me laugh each time I have to turn my head to look from one side of the screen to the other. The other option is to get a decent LCD TV with DVI inputs. Then you've got a kick-ass TV and monitor all in one Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
