hows my performance?

burned-ati · 08-27-2005, 10:19 PM

hello system specs below in sig,
3dmark05: 3700
3dmark03: 9017
3dmark01: 16000+
(pcmark05):3250
as you can see my system is about as tweaked out as it can get now with out spending any more money or overheating lol
wat do you guys think? wat should i be upgrading for alot more performance and not to much money. thanks and i dont want to upgrade my cpu just yet

This motherboard?

If you don't want to change the proc, you could always get more RAM. 2 more 512s would cost $90. If thats too much, just get one more 512.

Other than that, I don't really see anything else. Your video card is fine, and upgrading it any higher wouldn't make sense right now.

Otherwise, I think your performance is very good =)

hey thanks dude, i see your also getting a 6600gt or 6800LE. well go for 6600gt or 6800 (do not get a 6800LE) they really blow 6800 and 6600gt will kill a 6800LE. a 6600gt should fly through games on your processor

those are nice scores for your specs. I would go with 512 more ram. That would be the best upgrade for your money at the moment.

burned-ati · 08-28-2005, 01:30 AM

yea im proubly gonna get 2 gigs dual channel ddr 500mhz

burned-ati · 08-28-2005, 01:31 AM

if the money is good soon anyways lol

ThirtySixBelow · 08-28-2005, 01:44 AM

don't get 2 gigs, no video game will benefit from anything over a gig really. Save your money for something else.

burned-ati · 08-28-2005, 01:49 AM

oh ok well its just bf2 needs more than a gig it need like 1.5 gig

Flanker · 08-28-2005, 02:36 AM

BF2 will run awesome with 2 gigs, but I would think that you don't want to get rid of your old 512. I suggest you get 2x512 (1 gig) of Corsair ValueSelect DDR400 memory. Its $90 wo/ shipping from Newegg.com.

1.5 gigs is what it takes to run BF2 without lag.

Sounds/looks good to me, BF2 runs fine on my 1gig system, check specs
