that 1GHz PC with a nvidia riva tnt2 vga card is my oldest PC. Then I have this oldish PC with the following specs:
-2.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 3000+
-nVidia GeForce 6600GT
-1,5GB ram
-40GB discspace (~37GiB) (from that old one)
-<550W power supply (lc power always specifies unstable wattages which are the highest possible and cannot be maintained)

And finally ... the rig I just built (I ordered it 3 weeks ago. Was waiting 2 weeks for the parts and it took me another week to check what's wrong and to order and replace that damn dud ram :evil:)
The specs:
-3GHz each core AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
-Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4850
-2GB ram (Corsair, 800MHz, 4-4-4-12 latency)
-160GB + 750GB (that's ~149GiB + ~698,5GiB) discspace
-750W corsair power supply (I could go with lower, but components are more and more power hungry.)

Here's my first quick 3D mark... may do one in clean boot so I can try and do a bit better than works in my class >_<.

http://service.futuremark.com/home.acti ... 6B701DC535

Just had my PC rebuilt after a failed Mobo... and I was incredibly happy with it's results, running Crysis with all on high, but shaders shadows, particles and water at 1152x846 or whatever that res is, Prostreet was max, as was Oblivion and CS:S... and it was great... until I ran 3D mark. How do I gets more marks?

Getting better parts. Or overclocking. You shouldn't expect many marks out of a 8600GT, as it is not really a good gaming card overall for today's standards of gaming. And that link doesn't work.

3985 was the score. But it plays the games I have well. Not sure what's more demanding than Crysis on high?

What I call running means something above 20-30 fps, cause the gameplay isn't all that great. And 3985 is the score expected from your system, you would need something like a Qxxx or Exxx processor to get higher numbers along with a 88/96/GTX2xx/GX2/4850-70 or higher/equivilant to get 10k+ scores.

Which 3DMark?

Anyways, 06 really liked to increase the score a lot if you had a powerful CPU, while you wouldn't really notice much ingame. Scores kinda became hard to compare (2 identical cards, one appeared to be significantly faster while it really wasn't), not sure whether it has improved in Vantage.

Crysis is 40+ FPS.
That score's about right then? I just got a bit concerned seeing it being so low compared to similar systems, but they probably have a better CPU. I wasn't aiming for 10000k + scores... hell this is fine with me... On par with the PS3, well, better with Crysis... and it was just to get it working as a backup for a few moths until I get a new PC end of year... I want this in my room though, as it's got TV. :D

3D mark 06... the CPU tests were quite dismal, as I'm only running an E2180. So with that CPU... it's about right then. I don't really get what the problem is though... it keeps up with the rest of the gear, and every game on my PC apart from Juiced 2... which is bugged on a friend's E6800 + 9800GX2 system.

PhantomX2

Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2.55GHz
Corsair 2GB XMS2 DDR2 800
MSI 9600GT Dual Slot
Asus P5N-E SLi

I like it. And yay. I can now run GRiD 1280/Ultra/2xMSAA (haven't tried anything higher) and get 60+fps.

Well exxxcuse me! lol

Hey, you pay more to do the same thing I can at a lower price =P and It may be your cpu or whatever, but I get a lower idle @ 3.0GHz on a stock cooler from 31C->39 load :D

But nice system, not like you have a QX or E8500 @ 4.0+ GHz to say you have large fries either. =P

Now that I need to be working on my car, I see little point in updating to those specs lol.

I'll just wait until Christmas for a new GFX card or something. :lol:

Yeah, there's one question... Realtek HD audio runs Crysis on max sound... why get a soundcard. I know there's 24/96 audio, but only album I can get is NIN The Slip. Second, how big is the benifit, I run Sennheiser HD515s and they sound great on HD Realtek (onboard).

I have an even better model of that Fatal1ty soundcard :P.
It did cost a pretty penny two years ago.
Dunno what it costs now but it was a new model back then and cost a bit over 200€.

http://images.europe.creative.com/iss/i ... _FCS_b.jpg

The name of the product has changed in two years from "Pro" to "Champion"-series, but I think it's exactly the same thing :D.
I pretty much got the card for the front panel thingie, so I have the option to hook different things up to my pc if I feel like it.
Also with the remote control I can control winamp for instance.
lol wut
