Here is a video also at the same settings, fraps limit is 30, so it says around 15-20.

Sorry that was against your 9500GT from the first page not your 4670

This is with my 9500GT

Very similar performance to my 4670, even tho the 4670 plays it better at higher settings.

Well i ran my system at the settings you have for the 4670 and i get 31FPS and with 2XAA it kills it to 14FPS :ohwell:

RadeonProVega · Oct 6, 2009

Warhead doesn't seem to be a problem also. All gamer settings , but sound and post on the lowest, at 1280x1024 NO AA.

I do notice that putting AA and recording is a pain, but putting AA on when just playing is fine, even tho it kills fps about 5% or so

this is THE lowest FPS i have gotten in the game with my settings
http://img.techpowerup.org/071110/lowestFPS.png

i took SS when mostly when the FPS started to dip it normaly was around 20FPS or so

Click to expand...

that was a 3000+ @ 2ghz 2x512mb DDR400 @ 2.5-3-3-7 and a 7800GS @idr

now my new rig same specs as shown under my av but cards @ 750/1044 and they still are overheating :shadedshu i need some new coolers anyways settings are all high @ 1280x1024 and since i didnt check the button for FPS its ~30FPS thoughout

lots pretty pictures on a card thats not a huge deal slower than yours and yet way lower performance?

p_o_s_pc · Oct 6, 2009

would you guys like to see what my overclocked 7900GS can do? If so later i will put it in and get crisis. if you didn't know the 7900GS(OCed) is almost the same as the 9500GT(stock)

Zubasa · Oct 6, 2009

Only probem is that you can't turn AA on with HDR lighting.
Well. you can turn it on but the card is not actually doing any AA.
This applies to all Geforce 7 series.

Be back later with photos, um from scanning it from my printer( too cheap to buy a camera lol )

So let me get this straight. You buy two video cards at a time, both with similar performance (i.e. 8400GS and 2400PRO), yet you're too cheap for a camera?

n-ster · Oct 7, 2009

he buys a lot of useless stuff when with that $$ he could have had a great rig :shadedshu

heres what my rig does at your settings

Don't forget the galaxy 9500gt and sapphire 4670.
Guess i am too lazy to buy one i guess, or maybe because i really have no need to buy one at this time.

n-ster said:

Actually my single core is a great rig , maybe not great to you, but if i can play any game at max or near max and still get a soild 30-60frames, well seems to be great to me.

ste2425:

I guess thats pretty good, even tho weird numbers at times , you seem to get slightly higher then me, but in other times you don't. hmmmmm

n-ster · Oct 8, 2009

he has a 4850... and a dual core... how come he doesnt even get your numbers??

what you don't understand is either that with the $$ you spent you could have gotten a MUCH BETTER rig OR you could get a rig thats BETTER than yours, with less $$

RadeonProVega · Oct 8, 2009

n-ster said:

He is isn't using XP, but i am sure he will get better performance if he was. I am using Win 7, so i will see how warhead or crysis runs later today. There is a big difference in performance from XP vs Vista or Win 7. So i will have benchmarks later today using my 4670 in win7.

n-ster said:

The total amount of money i spent on this rig:

Emachine = 314
Galaxy 9500 = 84
Sapphire 4670 = 70
- " 468 "

I am replacing this rig with a Dual core, so most likely judging from best buy selection i am going to spend around 350 for a dual core. Or i will spend around 450. Doesn't matter what sort of rig i buy, or how much i spend, gaming is just where i want it to be. Max out or near it at 1280x1024 30-60 + , so i don't see what the problem is, i don't want the best rig out there. Never been that way , i just wanted something that can run my games good, which now it does.

s.

but dude come on that realy carnt create a 20fps (in some of urpics) difference

n-ster · Oct 8, 2009

But the thing is you keep your PCs for a long time, you want to be more futureproof... and you don't care how much you spend? Then I'll send same day ship whatever you want for a PC and you pay me double ok?

when you count how much you spent don't forget tax, idk if you counted tax... but after the dual-core purchase, you will be spending a total of 800-900$ :eek:

I mean, you could have gotten a rig that is miles better than your future dual core and single core combined for 500$ at the time you bought that single-core...

even if you didn't want to build, if your comfortable buying used, TPU had great deals... remember I think we were trying to push you to buy Xazax PC or something?

EVEN IF YOU WEREN'T COMFORTABLE BUYING USED! we offered at some point to build your comp free of charge!!! But you refused?? :confused:

We were ready to go miles for you u2k, and you didn't even take our gift. even for 350$ we could have gotten you a pretty good rig at the time you bought that single-core...

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

I got one of Xazax rigs, its grand!

Would of been pretty good for you actually.

I think he was asking 400 for it, not including screen.

A fair amount of it is actually sitting next to me in my mothers Antec 900 XD

completely agree. when he buy his dual core, he will say OMFG its so fast, why i didnt buy XazaX triple core for cheap.

If he prefers to give money to the people that have money instead of giving it to the ones who need it then fine. Also he game at low res, thats why he got nice framerates, BUT there is no fucking way he could get THOSE framerates. I say try mass effect. If he gets at 1280*1024 more than 50fps with everything on high i will suicide and im talking seriously!! :mad:
