pc4life888 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I just recently got my new visualdreamers.com build. I wanted to see what you guys thought about the performance of it. The computer i had built has... Core i7 920 (overclocked to 4.0) p6t deluxe 1000 watt corsair psu 6 gb of g.skill 1600 ram DDR3 4850x2 (had to call them and ask them to put this in, they dont offer this card on their site) high performance heatsink and fans 300gb velociraptor I ran 3dmark06 and scored 23,681. 2.0 - 9305 3.0 - 10821 Cpu - 7014 In 3dmark vantage I scored P14680. Gpu-12961 Cpu-24385 Let me know what you guys think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenz Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Why did you pay someone to do it for you? Doesn't that take all the fun out of it...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo74 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Why did you pay someone to do it for you? Doesn't that take all the fun out of it...... I agree, its kind of silly to ask that here. Seems more like an ad for that website. I hope those 3Dmark numbers are good ones. Would hate to see some OCer spend less and out do what you bought.

pc4life888 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Im just tired of having to build pcs and troubleshoot all the issues that come along with it. To have that piece of mind, it was worth it. I was just curious to see how these scores stacked up with similar systems.

RimX Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Im just tired of having to build pcs and troubleshoot all the issues that come along with it. To have that piece of mind, it was worth it. I was just curious to see how these scores stacked up with similar systems. I have to agree here...building systems comes with all it's own problems, that's why I won't build systems for other people. I tell everyone to just buy a pre-built, at least that way you have some tech support if something goes wrong. It's one thing if you know computers and can troubleshoot the issues as/if they arise, but that can be very time consuming and more aggravating that it's necessarily worth, especially if it isn't your own computer. Unfortunatly I'm not sure if those are good scores or not, but we do have some topics dedicated to those benchmarks. Here you can look there and see if you find a similar system. Oh and... Welcom to OCC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) 3dmark vantage Score P5663 3DMarks CPU Score 26494 Graphics Score 4487 Couldn't run 3DMark06, but your graphics card would be way better than mine anyways.

The computer i had built has... 1000 watt corsair psu 4850x2 (had to call them and ask them to put this in, they dont offer this card on their site) high performance heatsink and fans 300gb velociraptor A:I'm assuming you do a lot of CPU intensive work to want an i7 right? Otherwise it'd be more worthwhile to build a Core 2 Quad or Phenom II system B:You don't need a 1000watt powersupply....get a 600-750W at most C:what resolution do you play at, do you really NEED a 4850x2? D:What exactly do they mean by high performance heatsink and fans (find this out) E:VelociRaptors are not worth the money, just get a 640gb+ 7200rpm drive and it will nearly equal the performance for cheaper and you'll have more storage space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to do "CPU intensive" work to buy an i7? And talking about whether he "needs" a 4850x2? Really? You can get that card for $260 on newegg. That's FAR from overkill, even if you can only use 1600x1200. The PSU is overkill, the "high performance" descriptor is a little shady and the raptor drive is debatable, but the CPU and VGU are not that bad at all. I think if the OP had posted this as a "look what I just built" and not a "look what I just bought", you probably wouldn't have any problems with the CPU and VGU.

Computation Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I used to be a fan of buying pre-built systems online but I'm slowly moving toward building it myself. It's cheaper and it gives experience that could earn you some extra cash in the future. I'd also rather build myself than have some guy at a factory putting it together and not doing things right because he doesn't care, then I get the computer two weeks later with loads of problems that could have been avoided. So now I have to ship it back and wait another two weeks for a problem I could have fixed in two hours by myself if I was computer saavy. Building yourself is time and cost effecient. :thumbs-up: Edited February 10, 2009 by Computation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 First thing to do after you get your shiny awesome pre-built PC is pull off the cpu cooler and clean the pound of TIM they put on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 lol when I installed my q6600 I left that stock TIM on. I was curious to see how it would do compared to AS5. But I got lazy and never bothered to remount the HSF with AS5. I'll be back under water in a day or two though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4870 1GB or core 216 260 would be a better decision in the 1680x1050 --> 1920x1200 range. You can probably even squeak by with a 4850 at 80% of the games out there running 1680x1050 resolution. Even if he was looking to build it himself, I always make sure people will make good use of the i7's capabilities because a gaming computer is a waste of an i7.
