How is this system for gaming?

[ShankerXV]

I plan to build one with

AMD FX-60
4GB Low Latency Ram
148GB GD 10000 rpm
300GB HD
Asus A8N32 mobo
x1900 xtx

Top of the line components abound, but, I'd prob trim the cpu back to a "mere" Opteron 180 (dual 2.4 vice the FX60's 2.6), saving you aboout $300....

(In gaming at relatively high resolution, even with a top of the line card like the 1900XT, the video card will be the most important and will still be a bottleneck; in fact a 4200+ will likely score nearly identical framerates as an FX60 in most gaming titles)

You could probably even save another $80 by opting for a Crossfire board over an SLI board, or even a single slot NF4 variant, although the Asus SLI you've chosen is indeed one of the top Two mb; it just seems a shame to pay nearly $100 extra for an SLI variant incapable of running SLI...

You could also trim the mem back to two each 1 gb modules, saving another $200, as most games are happy with 2 gb...

(Now you have saved $600, allowing a free purchase of yet another killer video card in 1 year..)

All of the components are awesome; I am merely trying to trim $400 of of it for you, and still have your new rig deliver 99% of the framerates possible in 99% of todays games for $400 less...; but, if money is no object, you should be pleased for two years, easily, with the parts you have chosen!

Eh, let him spend his money. If he's got that much, let him build us one while he's at it.

So you have chosen the most expensive parts you can get
RIGHT THEN MARY !!!!!!

While he uses Windows XP (Non 64-bit edition). Waste of RAM.

if i were you i would cut on the fx but its up to you and the 4gig lay that down to 3gigs and 512 megs. most monos get high if you give it to much just like humans. too much weed can fuck you up

Post subject: 3DMark05 score too low?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I currently have a AMD FX-60, 2GB Kingston Hyper X ram and a BFG 256MB 7800 GTX OC and I only get 8255 with 3Dmark05? I know I'm suppose to get higher but what is making me get lower score?

Post subject: 512MB 7800 GTX doing worse than BFG 256MB 7800 GTX?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok. I have 2 pcs currently. My systemax has dual BFG 256mb 7800 GTX and my dell has dual 512MB 7800 GTX. When I run 3dmark05 on my systemax, i get around 8200 with 1 card. Weird thing is when I run 3dmark05 on my dell, i get 7922. That is weird considering that card is superior to the BFG. Specs on my comps

Systemax

AMD FX-60
2GB Ram
250GB HD
Dual 256MB BFG 7800 GTX

Dell

Intel Pentium D 840 3.2GHZ EE
2GB ram
250GB HD
Dual 512MB 7800 GTX

Anyone can explain why the score wsa so slow?

 

[scoobertscoobydoo]

is my new 16way opteron good for gaming or should i upgrade it to a 32way?

 

[ShankerXV]

Yes, I currently have those 2 but I plan to return the dell and sell my systemax and build a new computer.
