It should do a good job in Crysis on high settings.

Teamed up with your other new toys, you should be able to fly on Crysis.

Only the 65nm 5000+ BE overclocks good. The 6400+ Is 90nm so doesnt overclock that well.

 

[FreoHeaveho]

ok, but why didn't you consider intel? anyway, nice system dude enjoy!

 

[seeker991]

well...amd is better as all of the pros says

 

[mattlock]

Intel is actually the top dog right now.

What if AMD comes out with something that just pwns anything Intel has? It's happened before and I know it can happen again.

Check out some other models of the new G92 8800GT. For example, the EVGA and Asus models are overclocked from the standard Core-600/Mem-900 to Core-700/Mem-1000.

don't get me wrong man, if they do that would be great for the market. Just right now, nostalgia is all they seem to muster up... ray:

Just about the only place you'll notice the gap between AMD and Intel is in benchmarks. The average user will not see a hugh difference in the real world. Just ask Linderman, "upgraded" from a FX60 to E6850 and sees little to no difference in real world computing.

just did what some call an upgrade today



E6850 on a gigabyte motherboard (what else ! :smile


The 6850 is noticibly faster than the 60

not sure though if the SYSPREP may have had a hand in that / that method use does clean out all old drivers, far better than a repair install !!


so far; I am very happy with the upgrade


overclocking to follow

on second thought


last nite I reassembled my old system into a cheap $50.00 Coolermaster case to sell off the A8N-Sli & FX-60 installed a new drive and Win XP Pro

the old unit now feels just as fast as the 6850 :wink: I must have had a driver somewhere in the old OS which was slightly out of round, when I SYSprep'd the old OS it wiped out all system drivers, invoked a windows mini set-up which redetects all hardware.


ohhhhh well maybe if I was a gamer I would notice the diff ??

That said, I'm an AMD fan and have been for years.... But if I were to build a new system for myself right now, I would likely go with Intel. For overclocking ability if no other reason.:wink:
