habitual geek Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I base my comment purely off benchmark scores. Everyone I have seen benching a 7800 series card they are getting larger than usual score improvements with cpu OC's which is an indication of the video card being bottlenecked. 591622[/snapback] yeah, but what i have seen is that somewhere around a 3700+ or so the limitation stops, that cards can bench quite differently once you reach that mark or roughly so, some even say a 3500+ will do it for the GT, but that it takes an overclocked FX55 to get the GTX512 going good..........

Nerm Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I am not talking about with a 3700+ I am seeing this happen with people that have FX series chips like the FX55 and 57. Don't get me wrong an FX57 and a 7800series card are gonna pull down some sick scores, but not what that cards technology is capable of doing.

fire_storm Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 The point is the card works much better if there is a faster proccessor then a slower one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer2cool Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 lol poor foamy.. i just had a quite browse through the whole 4 pages of the thread and everybody started to digress away from what that poor chap should use on his fx-55 to which cpu is better. hahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
habitual geek Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 if you are indeed going to try to build a FX55 based system, let me make you aware of this bundle deal i found http://promotions.newegg.com/AMD/120505/index.html looks like a pretty good deal to me, all you need is a PSU, case, video card, etc.... i am about to build a new system myself, and would like an FX55 too, but this tempts me, my budget is $800-$1000, was thinking about getting this deal, then just waiting and saving enough to get a 7800GT or GTX, but the more i think about it, i could get a 4000+ and a non SLI board since i am not going SLI, and come out much cheaper and get nearly the same performance IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never heard of getting paid 600$ for baby sitting you would have to do it like everyday to get paid that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
