CPU bringing down 8800?

[vic20]

You don't happen to have all the settings in the nV control panel hard coded to max do you? 16X AA might run a little slow...

Sounds silly, but I've made this mistake myself when I wondered why some stuff ran slower than it should.

dude as long as you get 60 framerates your fine. max framerate you can see depends upon your refresh rate of your monitor. like i have lcd which has 75 herts. so if my 8800 gives more framerate then that doesn't matter moniter can't display it.

Good evening RobsX2 8)

 

[gnu611]

😀 just installed beta drivers and ran same cs stress test and got 143 fps- ITS GETTING THERE!

bf2- 140-150 range

 

[bullaRh]

i get 140 fps in stress test in css on everything on max with a 3500+ and a X850xt on 1280x1050 .. but ur BF2 sounds about right i suppose? i guess its just driver issues then

 

[gnu611]

after a few more times on the stress test and playing around with the whole thing i hit a 179 in the stress test

i love how my fps go up when fire starts. :lol:

I read your stupid post, maybe you should try reading mine. :roll:


As I stated before while I will agree that anything above 60fps cannot really be detected with the human eye you still cant overlook the fact that if his system should be pushing out 100+fps for a certain game but is only getting around half of that then there is obviously an underlined issue somewhere with his system which should not be ignored.



Once more demanding titles come along that will push his system even harder it would suck to be stuck at 30fps when he could be at 60fps if his system was running properly.

Get it? :roll:

Not being able to see past 60fps is an old and busted theory.

Everyone is different, but many people can see flicker on old CRTs at 60Hz and can tell the difference when you go up to 72.

I know I can tell the difference between 72 and 85Hz.

Don't believe me? Just try it. Hell, I can see fluorescent lights flicker, I'm sure lots of people can.

Try running 3Dmark2001 on a bunch of different machines with a CRT. You will see a difference between how smooth 150fps and 500fps is - even though the monitor cant draw that fast. Human beings are amazing creatures.

Off topic I know, but I had to chime in. SLINROB is absolutely right. Flourescent light=instant migraine for me. As do refresh rates below 85Hz.

 

[vic20]

That was meh posting

I get migraines from the same thing too. Why I piped up as well 😀

 

[tdank]

My bad :lol: Ill blame it on poor refresh rates at work.

Tell me which is faster? your 6000+ at 3ghz or a E6400-E6600 at 3ghz?

Dude your way off base. How can you compare a stock clock processor with one thats waaay overclocked? You cant fanboy!

Whats faster, a 302ci mustang, or a 302ci mustang with NOS? Right....
now your getting it...

??

Why can't you compare the two?

I bought an Opty 170 (2.0GHz) for $240 CAN. Same price as a C2D 6400 at the time. (2.13GHz)

I also have an X2 4400+ (2.2GHz)

At stock clocks, the 6400 is much faster than both my chips.

I run my Opty at 2.9GHz. The same 6400 at 2.998GHz destroys it again.

Same price, same speeds.

Sure prices have changed since, but in the end I'm sure the point was at the same clock, the C2D is faster. Hell I'd prefer a 6600 at stock than my Opty at 2.9.

The only reason I bought an Opty is I had a spare 939 nForce 4 SLI board and 3gigs of DDR 400 lying around collecting dust.

LOL MrsBytch owned again as usual :lol: :lol: :lol:


Thought the analogy was poor too. The X2 and C2D are not the same motor.

Better analogy would be:

AMD X2 = 4.6L Ford 2 Valve Engine (2004 Mustang Data)
260HP @ 5250 RPM
302 (lb-ft) @ 4000 RPM

C2D = 5.7L Chev OHV Engine (2002 Camaro Data)
325 HP @ 5200 RPM
350 (lb-ft) @ 4000 RPM

Same engine speeds, different power
