Not only that but the NB is 750 on a GX. I believe its 650 on an FX. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186149 This board is 790fx but has a sb750 SouthBridge.

its either SB600 or SB750 depends on the mobo

TheMailMan78 · Feb 3, 2009

Jesus were did I get those numbers. Anyway I could have swore the FX was only SB600

but you're also not running in crossfire (to the drivers you are, but not to the mobo)... the 4870X2 board has its own PLX chip. I think the min framerates in that review are due to the chipset and how it hadles the dual cards. It looks like the 790 can interface to the two cards a molecule faster than the X58.

Hmmm well now I will be very very soon ! ...I do have two X1950XTX slave and master and I do have X1800XTX slave and master maybe I should test these (they are 3 cards back though)...ugggg i hate my mid tower its so friggin tight in there that you have to be a rocket scientist to get it all in there.

I still find it hard to recommend the new amd cpus over intel's. I mean let's be honest here, it's only really a big step up vs. the old phenom. The performance per clock is still about 200 MHz behind core2 and 400 MHz behind i7. Just goes to show how worthless the old phenoms were that such a big step up from them still doesn't close the gap. Best just to grab a Q6600 before they sell out for good

Um AMD is very competitive in the price range they are offered in. The AMD isn't as bad as you think.

It's pretty much :

OC = Intel and phenom II (some badass clockers)
Non-OC = AMD

XS users got some major problems seriously. Also, how do they define smoother? No Jaggies? no stuttering? I can see it being true but lets give Intel credit here too

BTW, Im waiting for when they pull out Phenom 3 to catch the quads

They're competitive, but I wouldn't say "very"
