Finished installing every program that i needed, RAID drivers for RAID 0 array, Service pack 2 (the XP install CD is old Laughing

)

So i made benchmarks, i gotten over 16.000 marks in 3DMark06

And average 250 fps with everything at high full HDR, driver settings inclusive.. The fps would be over 300 but i need to optimize XP a bit more, and get the new nvidia drivers. (Bear in mind that this version of HL2, build 2XXX, doesnt have quad core support, needless to say it would only work with 2 cores.)

I forgot to mention that the computer is at my brothers home, and i dont have a router to share INet in my house, so ill only move the computer to my house when i have better Inet and a router (512K here!)

The computer is simply amazing

i forgeten how to apply thermal paste in the CPU so my bro did it for me, everything was assembled by me Very Happy

specs are the following:

GPU: XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra XXX Edtion (With 10% overGlock)
CPU: Core 2 Extreme QX6850 3.0GHz at 3.66GHz (Stable)
Cooler: Tuniq Tower 120mm fan
Mobo: EVGA nvidia 680i SLI T1
RAM: MUSHKIN KIT 2GB DDR2-1066

and a bunch of other crap that doesnt need t be mentioned ( case Antec Nine Hundred etc etc )

Im currently at my brothers pc, he doesnt have a router either Rolling Eyes

BLEH

at least i wont lag anymore

Great lineup of hardware, nice Smile

. Personally i'm gonna wait a bit for the next generation of dx10 hardware before upgrading, the current one is not worth my money.

i went to my bro's yesterday and brought some windows updates, the 3DMark06 score is now 18.050 something

and the avg fps in the hacked HL2 is 300

cant wait till source engine supports hybrid threading

Unyu

Always good to see that someone buys the most expensive CPU and VGA and tells something about Overlocking but not at its own.
Funny is:
2 * 8800GTX would be faster for nearly the same price.
And if you dont use SLI you dont have to use that crap nForce.

Start some other benches

Or tell us the exact settings; was it really 4*4 SSAA --- Ah i see it was just 16x (4x SGMS + 12x SGCAA) Smile

+ TSAA + 16AF at which resolution?

i tried 1 single disk, then tried 2 disk in RAID 0, and it is faster

the Extreme editions are unlocked and have better overclocking capabilities, thats why its so expensive -_-

and theres the QX6950 coming aswell

Which graphic drivers are u using? Beta drivers? I tried out several ones, all of them giving me BSOD's or crashes (especially in Bioshock; HL2 and TF2 are better). The ones which work best for my rig (Zalman GT1000 case, Asus Commando, EVGA 8800 GTX, 3 GB OCZ Reaper, Intel Core Duo E6850, WD Raptor) is 163.69. Still not 100% perfect, but pretty ok.

What cooling system are u using? Water? Which Power supply? Whats the noise level at full use?

Congrats to yer new rig, i know how it feels, got mine 2 months ago and i'm still happy as a bee Very Happy

he has air cooling. I really recommend using watercooling if you have the money for such a high end system, just the noise reduction is enough reason.

cpu cooling is not the problem, but the gpu. no gpu aircooler is silent. why didn´t you get a watercooling if you had this much money?

Now i tell you a secret:
Overclocking is also easy possible without a free multiplier.

With a watercooling you could buy cheaper hardware and overclock more and enjoy the silence.
