So i managed to acquire enough leftover parts for a PC, after a dream that i shoplifted enough spare parts to build a PC.
hope it was a dream, actually. i think i sleep-robbed my spare parts.
Anywho, this utter tank of a beast is going to have photos, benchmarks, and... stuff.
So far, the specs of this tank are:
*Some XFX Nforce motherboard with only two ram slots and shite onboard video. Also has some broken USB ports.
*3GB of DDR II 800MHz ram, because i dont have 2x2GB sticks spare
*Intel core 2 DUO CPU. E5200 2.5GHz
*80GB seagate 7200RM IDE hard drive (because its quiet, for HTPC use)
*Corsair 420W PSU (the only part i spent money on)
*Onboard Nvidia IGP thats utterly worthless (will benchmark just to show you pain!)
*Geforce 210 512MB (Just to benchmark and show you pain!)
*Radeon 6570 2GB (to actually use for gaming! and pain!)
Benchmarks: For now, just Unigine Heaven, since its painful enough without anything beefy.
All tests done at 1360x768
Geforce 210: (Driver 306.97)
DirectX 9:
Score: 136
Min FPS: 3.9
DirectX 11:
Score: 135
Min FPS: 3.4
Nvidia 630i causes a driver BSOD on boot... so ummm, skipping that PoS. PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN
Radeon 6570 2GB: (catalyst 13.4)
Using average joe logic, i'm expecting 4x the ram to mean 4x the performance. I will be upset if this is not true.
DirectX 9:
Score: 344
Min FPS: 9.1
DirectX 11:
Score: 280
Min FPS: 5.3
EHRMAGERD ITS NOT QUADRUPLE FPS ITS ALL A LIE
edit: overclocking the GPU has yielded benefits.
taking the GPU from 650Mhz to 750Mhz has resulted in the following single definitive benchmark:
DirectX 9:
Score: 351 - ***SEVEN*** POINTS HIGHER WEEEOOOOO
Min FPS: 9.2
GPU at stock, ram at 650Mhz:
DirectX 9:
Score: 430 (25% faster - huge boost)
Min FPS: 11.3 (22% faster, also rather impressive)
GPU at 750, ram at 650:
DirectX 9:
Score: 445
Min FPS: 11.7
barely any faster, so its clear the ram is the bottleneck.
Pics!
Mmmmm, dem parts
orgasmic cable management:
dat ass
well hello there ladies
i guess this was saved from facebook and just happened to be on my phone
