Well that was just with Dirt 2, I havent tried other games like Left 4 Dead (1 or 2) yet or any of the others I have bought recently. I've got to try and get GTA 4 installed because I've still not opened it up and I had that about a year ago!! :lol:
Well to be honest, overclocking the CPU seemed to make more of a difference than anything else but that said I think 4.4Ghz for an i7 isnt bad at all
I did think about going for a SB setup but then they dont have full 16x lanes like this does and so seemed a bit of a waste since I've had these two i7 rigs for nearly two years now and I've hardly used them!!
I am very much interested in seeing the third card go in, so as soon as the few bits I have on order come through, I'll be getting that running and seeing just how fast that 920 D0 can go
Saying that, my electric usage which this system isnt too bad considering all the crap stuffed in this case! :lol:
With 2 server SAS drives, 2 Velcoraptors (150Gb) a 1.5Tb Sammy for saves and whatever else along with 8 38mm thick Scythe Kraze 3000 fans on each of the quad rads and another 6 Yate Loon 88CFM fans cooling the motherboard loop and Adaptec 5405 and fan controller and the pumps etc, I think so far at most the rig as pulled 815W from the socket... I have no idea what that means the actual rig is using but who cares??
My electric bill a month is working out to less than £25 a month and whilst I'm guessing it gonna go up eventually, I'm really not bothered!!
