My New Build Cheap Gaming Machine

i will get a 5.9 when oc'd to 3.2. no one leaves those cpus at stock.

 

The E2200 is more a rival to the 4600+ at stock, but it shines when overclocked. It starts at 2.0Ghz versus the 5000+'s 2.6Ghz, but will overclock to 3.2Ghz with no problem on a cheap cooler. You'd be hard pressed to get the 5000+ to much above 3Ghz.

 

I was talking about the quad on your last post, you were comparing it to the 6400 price, sorry about that I meant to add that in. Oh and I know what your saying about ATI, but its also the guys who put them together like msi, gigabyte, asus....etc... I read reviews for a month or so before I went with VisionTek and its been worth it. Will you review the Visiontek hd 3870 for me, I really want to know your thoughts about this card.....its been great!!

 

The Visiontek card is the same as the basic OEM grouping card, so it'll be identical to my Powercolor card. The cooler is quiet, but not sufficient for most uses without either being forced up by a program like rivatuner or a BIOS flash. IIRC The OEM reference cards are actually made by ATI themselves (this will encompass the early Sapphire cards, Powercolor, Visiontek and Diamond) and the appropriate company just puts their sticker on it. Price for performance I'd give the cards 9, for image quality 10, for the quality of the software 4, the quality of the hardware 3. A round 6.5/10 for the card.

 

I know it really is an amazing cpu!!!!!!!! how do you change your score when overclocked man?

 

Just run the test again!

 

why do they act completely different, some get very hot, some catch fire........I mean from what I have read on hard forum and newegg the visiontek has ran cooler and had less problemsthe highest mine gets is around 56c...I was just wondering

 

Im on my 3rd test still says the same thing....this is weird everything is at 5.9 but my cpu is still the same lol

 

It probably isn't overclocked far enough to increase the result.

As for the graphics cards, it's just what happens. With poor quality workmanship comes unpredictability.

 

oh no theres something wrong lol, i have 4 pc and 2 on vista, and the one in my bed room i the same build and its saying 5.9, it is also the 5000+ BE oc'ed to 3.2

 

Different speed RAM? Memory bandwidth can affect the CPU benchmark.

 

same stuff man! This is very odd

 

Different motherboard?

 

same mb..........i have read in a few places and there is nothing like this so far man
