Maybe little funny question but one friend is saying that my current cpu Athlon64 2800+ s754 isn't compatibile with any NVidia's GF7 card ex. 7600GT or 7900GT. The cpu must be higher clocked at least 2GHz (mine is 1.8GHz), buy new cpu or OC that one. Is that thrue or not?
 
Noo.... You will problably get bottlenecked with faster GPU's, but it isn't nessacary to have a fast CPU...
 
You think Athlon64 2800+ s754 can work just fine with 7900GT? In gameing I wont see negative difference?
 
should be fine IMO. A while ago I did some CPU scaling benchmarks with a 7800GTX, and found that there was very little CPU bottlenecking at 1.8ghz. At 2.2ghz and above there was none at all. This was in Day of Defeat Source with all the eye candy on.
 
This doesn't include dula core? Ex. X2 3800+ is 2GHz and probably works just fine with any GF7. You mean 2.2GHz for single core?
 
Check my sig for specs ;)

If you are worried about bottlenecking, just overclock the cpu to 2.0 ;)
 
Well why not OC? Cause something weird is going on. Trying with 1:1 ratio at 220MHz fsb it crashes to blu screen and cpu is 1.98GHz. Then at 5:6 it crushes at 240MHz fsb (cpu is 2.16GHz) ram is by bios at 200MHz (400) but in Everest is 393MHz. Works excelant for 30min than goes down. Lower fsb means lower ram it's not worth it. Timings are 2.5:3:3:7 and 1T, with 1.55V cpu, 2.7V ram and 1.55V NF4 (MB). Everything isn't any better with timings 3:4:4:8 and 2T. Max Vol for cpu is 1.55, for ram 2.7 stable (2.85 marked red and unstable) and 1.65 for NF4 (1.8 mareked red). Any idea?
ps: I know this is oftopic but it's somehow conected, right?

My tip to getting your proc oc'd as far as it'll go is reading up on this guide.
 
I wish they made the 7900GS card in AGP format. Maybe one of the manufacturers will bite the bullet and do so. :)
 
I read that about OC. I did everything mention and 0. Unstable, mobo is the weakest part but what to do....won't be able to get another one in next couple of months and even then I must change all (cpu, ram, even hdd). I'll definently get all new parts during spring, eventualy summer 2007. In 2007 not only DX10 cards are out, but also PCI-E 2.0 and SataIII, in that case waiting a mont or two is worthed. Only hoped could OC to prolongue sistem life for a while. Point is that rig is crashing after 20-30min, in this time prime95 ex. is working properly then blue screen. At stock speeds just fine ;) If any idea I am listening.
Back to topic now. I need at least 2GHz or above for good comunication between cpu and vga, but it'll be ok with this cpu and 7900GT. What about next gen cards? I certanly wont keep this rig with GF8 but would it work properly if I put 8800GT in my PCI-E slot, with my current system? Thanks.

Oops thought you had pci-e
