Crysis Demo Benchmark and AMD Overdrive

[g45uk2]

i had that monitor 4 years ago :D

[Hannes9211]

im thinking about buying the 2gb crossfire ram,

is it any good? (:

[BorkaBonum]

I doubt you'll be able to find those old OCZ Crossfire Certified memories anywhere nowadays, and even if yo do I'd recommend some regular enthusiast-memories as they're both faster and cheaper.

[elmitroso]

use AMD Overdrive to OC my Phenom X4 9600 from 2.3ghz at 1.250 to 2.66ghz at 1.3V ...I click Apply Settings and then Accept..but when i reboot or turn off my pc those setting arent applied..it just get back to the stock speed ! And I have to OC it again..I have to do this each time I want to play a game like GTA4 or Crysis! to get enough Fps on those games..Please HELP iam an OC newbie...!

ASUS M3A78-EM Mobo

4Gb Gskill DDR2

Sapphire HD 4850 512MB

[gr0mithtimon]

you have to save your profile and set it to autoexecute when your pc starts. watch the video called "AMD OverDrive - Performance Tuning Utility".

[g45uk2]

you'll probably find some on ebay mate

[bennji2541]

omg whats with the vid haha =(

[VirtuallyInfamous]

holy shit you need to put an epilepsy warning on that vid

[vearheart42]

im just glad crt's dont really do that in real life

[M00nPhoenix]

The monitors framerate is flashing at a different frequency to that of the camera so it flickers.

[crysismaster]

is the 790fx compatible with nvidia's sli?

[macpegg]

No.

[gravediggmn]

no it's an amd chipset

[kingrooster1234]

Meister is very cute in this movie! He's cute in all his movies but especially in this one!!

//Love from the Meister FanClub

[BorkaBonum]

Absolut.

[trallawan]

I have headache

[GegoXaren]

omfg set the screen at a higher Hz!!!!!!!!!

[BorkaBonum]

omfg no matter what refresh rate a CRT monitor is working on it'll keep flimmer like that when recorded like this.

[Kaspar008]

you swedish

[CsS1337h4x0r]

Eh, planning to get a Phenom 9600 Black Edition w/ either a DFI 790fx motherboard or the ASUS one. Maybe im thinking to get 3 3870's wc'd but im not entirely sure that it can support it atm. So do anyone knows if you can use 3 3870s at the same time.

[BorkaBonum]

You can use one HD3870X2 and a HD3870, or three HD3870 if you'd like. I think drivers now support Crossfire-X in action - or else that's up within a week as AMD is pushing out new drivers by the launch of the HD3870X2.

[fibertech9]

Make a new video review with the 22" monitor!

[bonghits4breakfast]

video sux, may i recomend a flat screen

[BorkaBonum]

I got a new monitor since a few weeks ago.

[bonghits4breakfast]

lol supa.I was just messin around.Anyway wat kind of AMD cpu do u have.

[BorkaBonum]

Reading the description might perhaps be a start? Why is all YT-users so new to the Internet and the ability to Search information?

[c0ler]

amd and ati shityyy stuf ! INTEL and NVIDIA ownz ! best pc perfomance !

[c0ler]

great movies ! gz btw amd suxs as hell

[zombie112]

Cool,I have mine OC'd to 800/903 (tried 925 but it crashed) on stock cooling, I get 17 fps avg very high at 1280x720 with a 5200+ 2.6ghz paired with it. I ordered a phenom 9500 Quad, so hopefully that improves my performance since crysis utilizes the cores :P

[BorkaBonum]

Quad Core is supported in Crysis but will just increse performance by a small margin, but still. I got my 2900XT to 780/945 quite stable once I increase the voltage in ATiTool though I'd really require some better cooling for that. But as the R600 isn't clocking all that well its better to clock on a HD3870 as that card is extremely clockable.

[spitfire0889]

in the k9a2 i am put 2 8800GT in SLI mode??

[BorkaBonum]

Nope, you can physicly do that but the chipset does not carry the programming required to handle SLi, even if the core technology between SLi and Crossfire is about identical in the core.

[lukesmart]

i support AMD.......

[spitfire0889]

I buy a K9A2 platinium with a 8800 GT

It is compatible with the chipset?

AMD 790FX

[BorkaBonum]

Nono, all chipsets supports all videocards. The specific task only a specific chipset can render is the specific Multi-GPU solution, Intel has Crossfire or Single-PCIE just as AMD chips (still refered to as ATi Chips) while Nvidia is doing SLi chipsets. So you can use One 8800GT on any chipset, but only Nvidia will support you to have two.

[spitfire0889]

in the k9a2 i am put 2 8800GT in SLI mode??

[dumuh]

K9A2 isn't SLI certified it does support ATI Crossfire X though, 4GFX cards. >:P

[spitfire0889]

K9A2 Platinum supports 2.1V memories?

[BorkaBonum]

All way from 1.8 to 2.8 if you wish.

[spitfire0889]

My computer has the same board k9a2 platinium

And if you get a 8800GT the tarjete do not have any problem

Compatibility?

[BorkaBonum]

One reply is enough, or a note. Single Card: Never a problem. Multi-Card: Depends entirely on the Chipset.

[spitfire0889]

The motherboard msi 790X going to wait to leave the

K9N2 nvidia nforce 780th that are best for

For the performance of the games

I thought of buying the phenom 9600 or X2 6400 or 6000

So which of the best and I hope they leave the nforce 780a

And I use it with a amd athlon x2

[spitfire0889]

What would you recommend buying

To think about the brand and its products msi

I think to buy:

AMD Phemon 9600

2 gb memory cosair XMS2 800 mhz

And when you go on sale K9n2 SLI platinum nforce 780a or 750a

[BorkaBonum]

Try to get your hands on a AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition and overclock it to 3,5ghz with a decent cooler and wait for AMD to drop prices on their coming revisions within the Phenom family. Does the K9N2 even excist? I didnt get any hits, anyways that will only allow SLi while the K9A2 Platinum allows Crossfire-X which will be the best once drivers are up.

[spitfire0889]

If this series comes out in January is the nvidia chip for am2 +

[BorkaBonum]

I woulnd't recommend it unless you're willing to pay out $650 on a pair of 8800GTS 512MB or anything likely and run SLi since AMD will have cheaper and significantly more power-efficient units for Multi-GPU though they do not have all that power on a single-card solution.

[spitfire0889]

Which processor is more efficient in the games

The AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 + or AMD Phenom 9600?

[BorkaBonum]

Today, with lacking Quad-Core threading and current decently bad performing Phenoms, the 6000+ is the best deal out of the two. But there will be new revisions of the Phenom next year and AMD has announced launching 45nm units Q2, either Phenom or "Shanghai" which is Oktalprocessors (8 cores). If you're looking for the best out of the two today, go for 6000+, wait until next year when the 9550, 9650 and forward launches within the Phenom family.

[Blober112]

COOL!

[jailhousewhat]

Bra jobbat micke ^^

Du gör detta väldigt bra och din ängelska e otroligt bra!

Glädjer mig att kolla på fler Reviews från dig ^^

[RickArter]

Very nice job is the OCs windows or do you set your stuff in BIOS. BIOS gives better OCs and is more stable. PCI-E bus 100-110 shouldnt need so much with what you are doing. The AMD platform when overclocked requires alot of tweaks to chipset and memory to achieve noticable OCs and performance gain. Depending on ROOM temps you should be able to get at least 2.8-3.0 from the 6000+. Is it a BE or standard? Good luck and I dont like non-BIOS overclocking. I just think more can be achieved this way.

[BorkaBonum]

What you see (atleast a bit of) is the AMD Overdrive Utility which I use for overclocking - BIOS are quite limited in the first drivers for the mainboard to date (K9A2 Platinum). I got my regular 6000+ at 3270mhz as the highest stable, I tried a 12 hour stability test on the 3300mhz but it locked up. AMD overdrive is fantastic and covers more than the BIOS in general, but ofcourse BIOS are most often more stable, but takes quite alot of time to get 100% right.
