You guys just never stop with the god damn comparisons between your beloved Opterons and the FX series right? How many times do you have to be told that just because you are cheap/poor and have to buy a low end chip and then overclock does not mean that the FX series is a bad choice for...
Excellent news for me. Rise stocks... rise... :cool:
Hopefully AMD goes up more when the market is open tommorow.
And yes, Intel going down is completely related. They are the main competitors and Intel went down because 1. their earnings were lower than expected and 2. they lost more...
What the hell, only shipped me 4 things instead of the 5 items but still charged me for 5. What the fuck, and their email is down as well...
Is this a scam or what? :confused:
It could be a matter of cooling. Think of it this way, many FX-57's max out around 3-3.1 on air with stock voltage. With the 60's you are pushing out a lot more heat and overclocking more than the 57's. Not to mention, many of the overclocks were on stock cooler. Give it some time, let it...
I was just thinking, if I am going to reformat windows, do I need to redo my RAID setup?
Right now I have two 250gig maxtors in raid 0. System partition is 50 gigs, programs/apps is 150 gigs, and the rest is storage. I want to just reformat system and programs/apps so when I reinstall...
I'm not sure what you are arguing here, whether against or for dual cores... But what you said is true, the resolution that everyone plays games at are bottlenecked by the GPU, not the CPU.
And thank you J-Mag. Everyone brags about encoding/ripping while gaming; they swear they are hardcore...
If you are gonna purely game, getting a dual core is a waste. I have been able to play every single game with great frame rates, max everything, etc. with a $120 Venice. Compared to the $500 X2 4400+, I am getting similiar or even higher frame rates. Yes, they are the future, but at present...
All the people touting dual core are the ones with dual core. Let's have an unbiased opinion here :rolleyes: I've played many games on my friends dual core X2 3800+ and you can definentely tell the lack of pure ghz, especially in source games. Not only that, but I was playing COD2 and there...
When people say that dual core is the future, I really don't believe that much in future-proofing a computer. Having a 939 socket SLI motherboard is future-proof enough. IMHO, not enough programs are dual threaded currently to justify the double in price and lower mhz of dual cores. By the...
How am I even a fan boy? First of all, I don't have a $1,000 57, and those who do own one know what to do with it. Secondly, you said this:
"Agreed, but there are some people that do have 144's that do perform identically (read: you and me). When they can do 2.8GHz completely prime stable...
-Is that 3D? Opteron @ 3.8ghz 3dMarks? And not only that, look at the voltage. The 57 is much lower at a higher speed.
-Yea, they do perform identically @ 2.8ghz, if same timings and everything. But the 57 can squeeze out the tighter timings.
-Cherry opterons DO NOT perform like cherry...
No, I have a Venice 3000+ @ 2.7ghz that I purchased for $119 at ewiz 3 months ago. However, I hate it when noobs make themselves feel so much better when they can't dish out the money to buy a FX-57 so they say that their $112 chip overclocked to the limit is equal to the top of the line...
Not only that, the FX-60 will clock higher than any dual core chips. Can people PLEASE understand that their Opteron =/= FX series chip. Please. FX series chips cost more for a reason. I swear to god, next time I see someone say "Well, I got a FX-57 for only $150 because I oced my 144", I'm...
