Well on the GTA IV video the guy is using fraps (GPU Hog) So add like 10 frames to everything you see.. The human eye cant detect anything above 30 FPS.

That's a lie because you can tell when a screen is running @ 60hz

yup, most definately, i can definately see the difference between 60, 85, 120 and 160 hz on my CRT.

What specific benches do you want to see?.. Dont make them a lot I kinda want to keep this strictly to my new system.

3Dmark05, 06 will be fine, or just what ever you think is easiest for you dude. :toast:

I call it.

6700 3D06, my quad at 3.6 and overclocked 8600 can hit 7.5k. This would be lucky to hit 7k.

I would love to see 3D06, Vantage, and Furmark.

//hibernates till 2012 for results.

My Lan/HTPC is a Athlon 64 3700+(single core) with a 3870/512mb, been able to run everything that's come out on it, I think you'll be fine, it's plugged into either a 60-inch sony LCD or a 28-inch monitor(1920x1200). Even crysis runs at around 40fps on medium-high dx9.

Drizzt5 · Feb 13, 2009

This rig is going to be very good. The 3 games he mentioned I played with a stock Opteron 180 and a single 8500gt not overclocked at great frame rates :/. Just use a nice config

Oh fyi

Sc1mitar · Feb 13, 2009

the human eye can easily detect between differences in framerates.

Go play a game at 30fps and then go play it at 120fps or 250 fps and tell me that the latter are not smoother. refresh rate is also important, you can tell the difference between 60 and 75.

Drizzt5 · Feb 13, 2009

I can tell the difference between 30 and 80, but 80 and 300 have almost no difference.

If you can get that KUMA to 3.8ghz, i'll trade you my 9950 for it straight up.

I say thats a nice rig for the price.

i seriously doubt he'll be able to do it on air. With the right air cooling 3.4 should be doable though.

JrRacinFan · Feb 13, 2009

Nice build Charper, should treat you very very well.

My prediction:

3.3Ghz 24/7 with 7.2k 3dm06 score.

I hope so.. I'm not good with overclocking so I might need a lot of help on that

I doubt if i get my Kuma to that ill even think about trading

That 8600 DDR2 it is a miss. But I support the thesis that you don`t need 1000$ to make gaming PC. And 7750 is great for gaming compared to Intel and other AMD offering not taking OCing in consideration.

Just trying to motivate you

Awaiting your results, Nice choice on your RAM :toast:
