It would be better than my quickly aging 6950...... lol

Yay internet argument victory!!!!

Lets hope those the retail chips (Ivy) run cooler than the engineering samples....

so if I pump out 120 frames in half a second and do nothing for the other half a second.... its still 120fps. but I think you'll notice. Is the game running 120fps? Not for the other half second. The time it takes to render the frame, is crucial. If it takes longer to render evert...

could we get a pic of the inside of the case?

Yeah getting about the same here around 35-45fps minium. I just got a hd 6950 for cheap. No HBAO though just ssao. Motion blur off (can't stand it.)

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe!

Thought so, I'm finally at home looking at it. Even on medium settings there is a lot more memory being used on Battlefield 3 than I expected.... If I were the OP I would double check that make sure its the memory cap that he's hitting. EDIT: At ultra settings I'm only using about 895mb...

I was wondering when you'd come by lol. Question, I'm not at home and I can't remember, can't MSI afterburner show Gpu memory usage?

this is what I was thinking. I can't justify paying 549 for a processor that I may only run for a year... but I've gotten everything I could out of what I currently have lol.

I agree with this. was the os reinstalled with the overcolocked settings?? That has happened to me before and it ended up being corrupted. ah how we learn lol. Can someone merge these two threads together?

This....

On my q9550 Im getting about the same FPS you are 45 average @1920x1080 with all settings low / ambient occlusion is off, no motion blur etc etc. Right now I'm currently running only a GTS250, so I cant imagine will be too big of a jump in FPS. EDIT: This is on MP on 64 player maps btw...

+1 "That is to say, it will focus less on processors for PCs and pay more attention to the mobile market." So the article contradicts its own title.... Well done Softpedia! I've seen more well written articles on Arstechnica than this garbage. lol

this. What heatsink are you thinking about ? I'm going to be going through the same decision myself here in about a month.

or go with the true spirit save some dollars. What possessed you to oc that much on a stock cooler? lol

On my current rig I'm getting about 45fps but the Gpu is pegged at 100% the entire time, and my CPU is around 55%-65%. on mp 64 person map. 1680x1050 all settings at low. Time for an upgrade lol.

Well... Hell hes kinda right. They could review every bloody card from GTX590/6990 all the way down to a ATi 8500 and a TNT2, and someone will still be ticked off and ask if they could try different ram timings lol. You've got people complaining about gameplay..... and he's reviewing the...

I would like to know what his HDtach scores are with that hard drive. Google HDtach and run the tests please screen shot your results. Edit: I may have missed it but what board are you running?

A rambus lawsuit.

nah only for nostalgia :)

Yes because every audit/inquiry is a sign of wrong doing..... :rolleyes: To the OP clarification in this sense is essentially to make sure everything is on the up and up. They aren't saying in the documentation that there have been errors... But I'm sure were going to have people over...

I've been happy with my gts250 (until recently), Battlefield 3 was just like virtually slapping my video card in the face. Looking at the prices recently for the 560ti... There's no excuse not to upgrade lol.

Seeing as though a Core i3 keeps up with a Core i7 in Battlefield 3, its not surprising at all. SB-E in my eye is more of a workstation board (quad channel memory), I would like to see what kind of ppd you'll get out of a 3930k while folding. On another note I don't see the 40 lanes total...

What did your mother do to you :( lol. (kidding of course) I don't have a P4 handy, but even if you have the GT220 in there, I'm 100% certain that she'll be able to tell the difference. Not just in the video playback, but overall system resonse. I remember upgrading from a Athlon64 3000+...

Toms had a preview of the x79 with the 3960. Too bad the test board couldn't run more than one GPU, but that was probably by design. www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-3960x-x79-performance,3026-14.html

Dual Pentium 2's @300mhz, 128mb of ram, Cd-Rom drive is a SCSI as well as the hard drive, did great with CAD work back in the day, today - not so much. Taken on a camera phone sorry lol.

Eh, I've never had that problem but I'm sure others have. You're going to get a bad piece of hardware from time to time, one bad product slips through the cracks etc. Lol but you make it sound as if Amazon is the only e-tailer that will replace your CPU if its bad :)

Top that off with JF getting threats through email and the forums screaming HE LIED!!!!111, "I hope the business closes down and they all lose their jobs " etc etc etc..... Why would Amd bother.

Lol if they did merge AMD would have to spin off ATi and cut ties.

I totally agree VR. Prices will continue shooting up, take a look at this. news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-57320282-64/hard-disk-shortage-will-get-worse-piper-jaffray/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20

sigh I don't remember SB totally remaking the transistor. To say Ivy is a mere die shrink is not giving Intel the deserved credit. edit maybe new arch. is not the correct term, however since they are making big changes to the processor ill be approaching it as such. :)

Ummm Sb has been out for several months.... I am not referring to SB in that post I'm talking about Ivy. "I'll be hanging on for Ivy, its (ivy) will be a brand new architecture so I will wait on benches before jumping " hmmm... Ivy Bridge LGA 1155 may work in some of these current z68...

I was talking about Ivy sorry lol. Was on my mobile when typing it up.

If your currently a 2600k owner I don't know why you would. Only benches I have seen, were on Tom's in that preview they did. it didn't look like it warranted an upgrade (over a 2600k), unless of course you are using all 6 cores. Right now I'm running a q9550.... its long over due for an...

Fable 3 is local co-op if you are into that kind of game. No LIVE needed for that.

Nah if nVidia "merged" with AMD they would spin off ATi as another company and cut ties.

Fable 3?

So you hope a company that employs 10k+ people, loses millions and millions of dollars because you kept waiting for a now defunct CPU. How is that AMDs fault? Hoping that hardworking people lose jobs... I think you take your processor fandom to a whole new level....

I wouldnt worry about news like this usually. That was before I read that AMD only employs around 11,000 people. So they are cutting over 10% of the work force. AMD can't be too angry at the people they are letting go, these guys should be getting severances etc for the trouble. I'm...
