since I installed these drivers i had afew crashes with COH so I think I am going back to 10.2 anybody else having issues with company of heros? not the first time for ati :(

what stepping do you have? some steppings like 0921/0922 have a big success unlocking. If you have a lucky one could be worthy to upgrade your mobo.

yes, I believe so. I got the same board and keeping the Jan bios to unlock my 550 ;) By the way my north bridge gets very hot: up to 65C when gaming thanks to the heat from the GFX below, and I running at stock 3.1Ghz!, what about yours?

4890 here VDDC slaves go just over 100C running furmark but I don't get artifacts etc so i guess is okay the high temps

i am getting an biostar TA790GX. it uses the latest chipset but is quite cheap so will see!

i believe it does but not sure! it has sb750 anyway. Sorry, I just realise I was talking about the latest biostar TA790GX and the threath is about the 780G :rolleyes:

what case do you have and how many fans? my one goes over 85C running furmarK!

have you tried using one stick alone? changing memory slots? I got the same mobo with 2x1GB supertalent running happily at 275 CL1. I remember the ballistix were the fastest but used to break down easily due to heat problems. I would try a clean install with the memory to see what happens....or...

I am expecting delivery of this board and thinking to buy an X3 710 or 720, are you getting good overclocks with it? any luck unlocking the 4th core guys?

Not very lucky here: Furmark stable only at 935/1000 and temps up to 88C at default fan speeds. Autotune 965/1105 but crashed Vantage after most of the tests.

The amd stock heatsink is quite good but a bit noisy at load!

I wonder what increase should I get on my 8800gtx with the new drivers which i haven't installed yet as I read a few guys with problems with them :confused: All the tests I have seen only use the 260 or 280 and mainly new games that I don't have :rolleyes:

I don't have any problems gaming anything with an opteron 170 at 2.82 & 8800gtx so I don't see the need to upgrade. However I wouldn't buy a 4870X2 or another 8800 to SLi with my opty as I am pretty sure my cpu will bottleneck a great deal trying to run 2 GPUs at the same time.

another good review benchmarking at 3.0GHz: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/04/23/amd_phenom_x3_8750/3

have a look to this review: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/phenom-x3-8750_10.html#sect0 they reach 3.1 with air

I can't believe nobody say anything bad about the ATI yet ;) I'd go for the ati as I love having a dual monitor set up. Also the ati uses very little power when not gaming

If you go for the GT make sure you get one with better cooling than the original, otherwise I 'd go for the ati If you not play many games I'd get the 3850

The market is not big enough for 2 high performing AGP videocards. Ati arrived before so Nvidia doesn't bother to develop a new design just to sell a few hundreds boards more. Also don't forget that a high performance videocard needs a fast CPU to shine; I am pretty sure the difference between...

If you think the gt needs another fan you should buy the gts ;)

I also considering a 8800 gts or a 3870x2, waiting for some reviews and price after the ati is released. I wouldn't buy a gtx unless the price is just a bit more than the gts

check this link testing crysis with single, dual and quad cores. Also with many low performance gfx: http://www.amdzone.com/amdzone/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8505 you can see going for single to dual core at the same speed almost double the performance

Considering many actual games including bioshock are faster with a double core processor would be a good idea to replace your pc if you can afford it ;)

lucky one :D What about the temps gaming? Don't tell me is only 65C with the case closed?

I believe crossfire also support more than one monitor which is why I am considering to buy ati soon ;)

be quick selling :p

I am running everything at high at 1280x1024/19" getting an average of 33FPS with the following custom configuration: e_shadows_max_texture_size=512 e_max_entity_lights=7 e_water_ocean_fft=1 r_DetailDistance=4 e_view_dist_ratio_detail=22 e_terrain_occlusion_culling_max_dist=180 r_sunshafts=1...

i don't know in the USA but in Europe the 8800GT is out of stock everywhere :o

I replaced my opteron 146 at 2750 for a 170 running at 2830 in summer (bit faster in winter). New opterons 165 and 170 overclocks very well and they are cheap ;)

I wouldn't mind to swap my 8800gts 320MB for a 2900xt ;) so I guess they still in.

Its OK if you don't play games modern games ;) BTW what don't you run a earlier version of 3DMark?

There is a review around showing that with the same video card a double core gets much better scores than a single core in this game so yes upgrade your cpu ;)

you are not doing anything wrong, that is normal ;)

I got one 170 CCBBE 0615 and does not overclock over 2750 :o (haven't tried high volts yet, but I get 2700 at 1.4v and with 1.48 reachs only 2750)

If your 3DMark scores are ok and you don't get blue screens or the game shut down to windows destop you should be fine ;)

Very easy to check if is air flow, just remove side panel and check temps ;)

Mate i think is quite clear nobody has an ultra yet ;)

I don't have any crashes with the 158.19 in BF2

My Asrock used to run at FSB of 310 without any problems so something is wrong with your set up. BTW I also went to a A8n32 and couldn't get more than the asrock :o

only agp

I got the 320MB and I regret not spending a bit more for the 640MB but when I bought it I was playing at 1280x1024 :o 320MB is not enough for some games at 1680x1050 and sometimes the fraps drop a lot because of the video using system memory :(
