Hello,
I am looking to replace my aging (okay, Jurassic) E2160 which I have OC'd to 3Ghz. I've been running it like this for about a year now.
Here are my system specs:
E2160@3Ghz
8GB DDR2 Corsair and G.Skill PC 6400
ATI HD 4870 512MB
Cooler-Master RP-CAR 600 (600 Watt)
Gigabyte GA...
I do think that I would go for the 4870 if I were to decide to upgrade the video card. From the reviews that I have read, it seems like a pretty sizeable upgrade. But then again, $185 for an E8400 that has six times the cache (6MB) that my current CPU has, and is overclockable to 4Ghz, seems...
My problem right now, is that at the high resolution of my monitor (1920x1200) games like Crysis and even WoW starts to choke in places. I just played a session in Crysis, and at that resolution and all settings on high the game is hovering around 20fps (with no AA). The framerates get...
I can't spend more than $250 on my current budget. So, I guess the question now is: what would give me the biggest performance boost for my games?
- an E8400 OC'ed to around 4Ghz
- an HD 4850
- or, waiting for the HD 4870 price to drop and then purchasing it
I am looking for faster framerates in my video games; but I'm not sure that upgrading my video card (or running SLI) would give me a performance boost that would be worth the price.
I just upgraded my monitor, I went from a 20" Sceptre to a 24" Acer and... well, it was definitely the most...
First off, my system specs (as far as I can remember)
Intel E2160 @ 3.00 Ghz
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
4x1GB PC 6500 RAM
Cooler Master 600W PSU
NVIDA 8800GT 512MB
I have my eyes on the new E8400 processor, which is currently retailing for $189 off of Newegg. If I get it, I would get a good...
I have an X800XL AGP, and yes it is worth the $270. I have never had another x800 or a 6800, but it plays Guild Wars like a dream. It seems to preform much like the PCI-E version.
I have the AGP Sapphire x800XL, in a Dimension 4600.
I get about a 4,575 in 3dmark 05 w/speeds at 435/550.
Specs:
2.4 Ghz P4
1.5 GB DDR 400
X800XL 256MB AGP
