There's nothing to show what settings it's running at.
 
I moved a bunch of posts here. Please post here. Anyways, I heard someone mention about updating. Sorry, but I have been buse updating other threads, plus starting the Vantage thread.

oh snap.. i didn't see that.. it is running 1280x1024.. everything is default
 
do i have the highest 7900GS score?
 
9 days!!!???? from the last post in here WTF

Ok do you guys think that I could hit 30k with 3 GT200 cards with my setup?
 
30K. No. Do you have a working processor?
 
Honestly though DaMulta, Two GT280's and a highly OC'd QX9770 may take you to the promised land!:D If your solely for 3DMark06 I think the 3rd card would be useless and may give you 1000 points more, but that's about it.
 
A 1000 points is a thousand points.
BUT
I hope the scale better this time around and bump out at least 3 grand more.
 
Perhaps... The G280's sound very promising indeed, they are very beefy.:D
 
The QX9650 is here:)

That's what was wrong with my computer 100% now, because it came right on ROCK ON!!

Going to order another 120 rad and a pump for the chipset before I start again:)


Maybe....
 
Would someone please look in my specs for lil monster and tell me what would be the best video card that my CPU wouldn't be a huge bottleneck?
 
HD 3870, HD 3850, 9600gt, 8800gt.
 
Erocker... i think you read the specs for the Evil spider man (x2 5000+ Be @3ghz) not the specs for the lil monster (p4@2.5ghz)
 
Are you actually planning to game on it? If not, I'd say just a 3650 or something. If you do want to game, get a 3850 or 70.

I was thinking about gaming on it some but mostly just DVDs... I also was thinking to get a new board so i could overclock and have PCI-E also DDR2

little bit much for just a chipset isn't it? Why not look into a 80mm rad?

Because, 120mm rads cool better at lower fan speeds. 80mm fans suck ass. lol.

I wouldn't bother investing any more into a p4 than just maybe the simple gfx upgrade. If you're gonna buy an Intel board, you might as well sell off your stuff, and go Core 2.
 
All I have to say is unFxxking real my jaw hit the floor

this thing just killed my old 9800gtx Oced to the max, with my cpu at it's 24/7 clock and the 3870x2 card at stock (unoverclocked). I'm not even sure it needs overclocked holy hell. If I upped my cpu to 4.6ghz I could hit near 20,000 with a dual core and I bought it for 5.00 less than the 9800gtx. If you didn't tell me I wouldn't know the box and card weren't new. :respect:

driver problem 3dmark06 and 3870x2

Hey fellas I think there is a problem with 3dmark06. If I set my card to max resoultion 1440x900 8/aa and anisotropic filtering 16 in 3dmark06 after a lengthy loop I will get a dx9 driver error. This also happened with my 9800gtx when I forced the card at higher setting. Can someone else try those setting and see if you get this driver error. My card works fine at all other setting it just has trouble with the driver at filtering 16 not 15,14,13,12 etc. It will do several full passes without a problem. It only does it after testing for exstended periods.
