Give us your benchmarks and game performance and what not. I just want to know how good this card is. I want to upgrade but I'll wait for the 8000 series or the X2000 from ATI. 😀

Unless you want to short your card! Keep "moisture" away from your card. This is to include tears, sweat, and any other bodily fluids. 😳

EWWW... I dont like it THAT much



I will update when I get it all together. The system in my sig just arrived yesterday... and no.. I didnt spend all night putting it together because I was sick 🙁


For comparison my P4 3.0 HT with a 9800PRO benches around 3000 in 3DMARK 05...

I will update with results

 

[Maxiius]

Hehe, that system is nearly identical to mine except I dont have a sound card 😛

Sweet, I saw your system and was VERY impressed by the score you got. Im very excited now to bang it together tonight.


What are your marks with 3DMARK06?


Also what MEM are you using and what PSU and what monitor.

Also what brand of 7900GTX are you using? Standard or overclocked?

 

[Maxiius]

Haven't ran 06' with it ya, been playing to much EQ2 😛
I'll run it real quick tonight b4 I log in

Corsair 3500LL Pro
PC Power & Cooling 850w / Dell 21" LCD
BFG 7900GTX, its at 670mhz core clock i believe, factory OC from BFG

Like I said, everything right now is stock settings, I haven't felt like OC'ing anything until I get my watercooling system planned out and bought.

Nice, very nice. I get 10000+ points with 7800GTX 256 SLI with no overclocking. The 7900GTX looks sweet!!!!

 

[RichPLS]

I have the A8R-MVP and soon plan on upgrading to the A8R32-MVP.
How do you like the board? Stable, good power and overclock optioins?

 

[Maxiius]

The A8R32-MVP is just the crossfire chipset counterpart to the A8N32-SLI.
As far as the A8N32-SLI, I have had 0 problems with it. As far as overclocking options, What kind of options are you looking for? I know a little about OC'ing but nothing with great extent. I'm more like a Jack of all Trades, Master of None

Sweet system.

I got the Dell 24 inch LCD.
The XFX standard 650 mhz core.

I decided not to go with the water cooling option because I really dont like to OC my hardware.

I went with the Big Typhoon CPU cooler (Damn its huge) because I hear you can do moderate CPU OCing.

Im pretty much gonna OC the CPU to FX57 speed.


OHH man! How does EQ2 run? I play it also

 

[Maxiius]

EQ2 runs buttery smooth except in good old Qeynos Harbor, I still lag a bit in QH, but I think its partially due to my internet connection. I still only have regular old DSL. Need to upgrade to high speed cable or something.
