[Fitseries3]

just odd..

3.8ghz

 

[Binge]

your GPU seems to be clocked lower than your last 06 attempt. Almost a perfect 20k tho lol

 

[Fitseries3]

but something is wrong here... its artifacting more and more every time i bench it.

 

[Binge]

can you at least put your drivers up to 180.60??? Do us all a favor! Also watch your GPU temps. My GTX get testy at above 60C

 

[Fitseries3]

180.60? where are those? i found the new 180.48's

180.70's are their too...using them myself for like a week or 2 good stuff.

Ey Sol, I've gotten worse scores than with the 180.60 when I used the 180.70. It might have been my setup, who knows.

I just want to see Fit break 21k with a single 260.

[Chicken Patty]

fit are you getting better scores with the 260's in sli or the dual x2's in CF????

 

[Fitseries3]

hahahah, cool dude, keep us posted.

You think you just might not have good chip, or you're just having a hard time getting familiar with the hardware and its settings???

It's still settings, some days one thing works better than another, the next the complete opposite. Crazy man.

hehehe, man I get my bonus next week and thats going to be 1k burning a hole in my pocket, I sooooo wanna get a Core i7 920 its not even funny. But I want to hold off until I get the Phenom II, it'll be less money as it'll fall right into my board, then if anything I can go intel. But if I go intel now, that doesnt mean I have to get rid of the stuff. I don't know, i'm just very undecided right now. What do you think????

 

[Fitseries3]

get the phenom II. i was actually thinking of geting one since they are so cheap.

Yeah, being an AMD fan, I will tell you I don't think they will be anywhere near the 920's, however for the price and compared to what AMD has to offer at the moment, I think it will be definitely a chip to get for the price. I mean, nowadays if you looked at it, unless you wanted to go with AMD because you liked AMD, there was a really obvious choice. It was Intel, most chips are faster clock for clock, and any chip overclocked better than any AMD, now with the Phenom II, it closes that gap a lot in my opinion bringing Intel a much better competition, and making buyers think twice about which way to go.
