Wish i had picked Metro2033 up now so i could compare them.

How is it for noise?

A little insight before I bombard you with results properly. I just started playing Metro 2033 so here are some benchmark results....

Average Framerate: 25.67
Max. Framerate: 45.08
Min. Framerate: 6.21

... this is with my 6950 & CCC (10.12a) at stock clocks & settings. Metro is running at 1680 x 1050; DirectX: DirectX 11; Quality: Very High; Antialiasing: MSAA 4X; Texture filtering: AF 16X; Advanced PhysX: Disabled; Tesselation: Enabled; DOF: Enabled

My Q9550 is at 3.78GHz btw.

Wait until you get outside; I'm a few chapters from the end and I get 17fps in places with my card running at 900mhz everything maxed out 1900 x 1200 but with AAA.

It's definitely a lot quieter than I expected. My old Gainward 4870 had a dual fan cooling solution and at 50% was quiet. This stays at 25% and is the quietest thing in my rig next to my CPU fan. Even at 100% it's a nice hum.

Yeah I'm expecting it to get choppy in places which is why I'm looking forward to getting the 6970 BIOS installed. I wish my Q9550 would hit 4GHz as that'd help, still , 3.78GHz isn't bad.

Just ran the Call of Pripyat benchmark...

EDIT: I don't know why it's so small.

C1 or E0?

FreedomEclipse · Jan 9, 2011

E0 - I made sure it was the 'new' stepping before i bought it

I hate David Cameron. That is all.

See mines a C0, I'm going to see if 3.8GHz as 3.79GHz is now. Weirdly.

The Pripyat benchmark is very deceiving and in no way reflects the performance you're going to get in real gameplay. Don't worry about your cpu overclock as Metro 2033 is a GPU bound game.

And you don't hate Nick Clegg?

You hate Nick Clegg. Why the hell would you? It's not like he's gone back on any promises on student fees or anything, is it?

Already knew that, but I wanted to run these benchmarks anyway. Just finished flashing to a 6970 with success so I'll post results once when I can.

UPDATE: Same settings as before but with the flash...

Average Framerate: 28.00
Max. Framerate: 54.18
Min. Framerate: 10.03

... I'm pleased!

FreedomEclipse · Jan 10, 2011

still havent been issued my refund from Novatech :eek:

I hope they dont send me the same card back when i already said i wanted a refund to buy a better card.... *fingers crossed*

gumpty · Jan 10, 2011

But probably wont have it installed until the weekend.

MoonPig · Jan 10, 2011

Grrr... Me wanty that card!

gumpty · Jan 10, 2011

Had to jump in there before the VAT increase.

EDIT: Does anyone want a vanilla Sapphire HD6870? Hardly used.

Good luck! I completely screwed up my 2 tests today, going to screw up 2 more tommorow

. I would have done them well if I studied, but being blessed with hindsight is not that great you know.

Dropped my Xonar D2X to £60 shipped if anyone wants it

MoonPig · Jan 11, 2011

Just got in from drinking in my local town (Wakefield) and i've had a really weird experience.

First off, student night. That's £1 a drink.

I easily drank 12+ Jagerbombs, 3 bottles of Lager and a Purple Rain.

However, i never one felt even slightly drunk... Really weird as being a smaller lad, that'll normally have me swaying... lol...

Being just £1 a drink, do you think there's any chance they watered down the booze? Austerity and all that.

MoonPig · Jan 11, 2011

Not really, i tend to go most Mondays and this amount gets me fairly drunk.

I did go for a meal prior, but so did half the people i was with.
