    X3 720 and 4x2GB 1333Mhz.

    For now im playing at 1650x1080 in a 22" format. The big problem is, for example, the massive increase in textures that software houses are now adding. Crysis for example. Resource hog ? Yes and no. If you check benchmarks you will see a 4850 1Gb speeding over a 4870 512mb. Because at...

    What cpu for a new budget system?

    Nowadays your 8600Gt isn't that good, don't know if it is worth to keep. My guess is a Nvidia 9400 Chipset or AMD 780G would top that and would give you HDMI output. An E5200 or 7850/X2 550 would give you enough CPU power. You can always head X3 710. An intel Quad core would might be...

    X3 720 and 4x2GB 1333Mhz.

    Checking your link now. Thanks About the CF, i have sen many chart, and ussually (for the price) any of the CFs beat the 4890. About not going for X2 ( the 4870X2 and 4850x2 2GB) are way pricier. I can get here a 4850 1Gb for about 100? and a 4870 512mb for 140?. Other of my fears will be...

    X3 720 and 4x2GB 1333Mhz.

    Hello all I'm moving now to make my "wish" list. The list still a bit messy. But the big question is: Can AM3 CPUs handle 4xDDR3 at 1333mhz (total 8Gb) ? My list of other components (just if anybody has an opinion that want to lay out): 4870 512Mb CF or 4850 1Gb CF ( with custom...

    GPU Cooler - Ati 4850 512MB

    I totally agree. The thing is: S1 : 215x138x33 TT: 212x103x54 I still have to measure my GPU, but i think the TT will fit in a crossfire config. Ill use this MB: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P. Ill only have a 1xPCIE free, but hey, i don't need nothing else. I can always sell my 4850 and...

    GPU Cooler - Ati 4850 512MB

    I'm waiting for a "official" reply from Arctic Costumer support. Altough i agree with you, i think they are too big. The problem is, i have no idea where to get a longer and flexible CF bridge. I'm in Spain, so some thingies are hard to come by. Ill keep waiting, and ill post their offical...

    GPU Cooler - Ati 4850 512MB

    Hi Guys I'm finally finishing my rig. Ill get a second 4850 512mb for crossfire, a X3 720 BE, Board i still don't really know yet and 8 GB of Ram. Anyway, the real question is. My Gpu is idling at 64º and topping at 100º during a decent gaming session. My case is a NZXT Lexa with decent...

    I just had a retarded idea

    Don't confuse computer with processor. Software would be he key factor here, because, in one way or another, i believe normal hardware is perfectly capable. We can still make what computers can (and woman tend to excel on that) witch is to multitask. 800 stream cores seem much ? I've catched...

    Ati GPu on Seti@home

    Thanks Petrus for the info. I suspected it all along. Well, ill keep using it CPU only for now. Although the value increases a bit, im not shifting from ATi on my next upgrade. Ati 4870 512 can be found for 155? a piece, ill o for it. At that price they can be of tremenduos value.
