HAWX GAMEPLAY, AMD PHENOM II X4 955, XFX RADEON 4890, ASUS M4A79T DELUXE, 8 GIG 1600 RAM!

[Jknessmic]

I bet your still running this comp its so powerfull

[Fowtowsjop]

now your PC is a beast, no doubt :P but HAWX isnt that much of a demanding game, i run it at max with an X1650 and Athlon X2 2,3 Ghz, around 30 fps

[eldaguinio]

what processor is better for gaming and video editing... Athlon II 620 or Core i3? Phenom II 955 or Core i5 750??

[EXALT1K]

hey, what is your keyboard?

[nonooby]

Saitec eclipse 1

[boristrap]

Hey i got this PC

Prozessor: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition

Mainboard: MSI K9A2 Neo2

RAM: 4096MB-KIT A-DATA

Grafik: XFX RADEON HD 4890 1GB

Can Gta 4 run at max and Cod 4?

Sorry if i ask stupid questions...

Greetings from Germany

[dubmywub]

cod 4 should be able to

but crysis may do aswell

:)

[matttd9490]

should do, my old pc is an old x2 AMD

2gb RAM and 7950 512s in sli and i was running COD4 on max, plays Hawx on max too. so yours shouldnt have a problem.

[DanielCriticalMX]

yes it can.

[sherpant]

re boristrap: Yes you can run those fully maxed out. But i recommand you go for an AM3 board and Phenom 955 if you buy a complete new setup. if our current motherboard is AM2+ still go for phenom 955 it works on AM2+ you will have more chance to sell the cpu in a few years if you want to upgrade because most people will have AM3 by then. and if you ever need another motherboard you can put a am3 in with ddr3 ram. but the upgrade to an AM3 board is not worth it if you still have an AM2+ board

[Woeboez]

how big is your monitor resolution?

[Cheburashka94]

will work perfectl!!!

good rig m8

[hawk860]

i love ur mobo i have the same one but i go a 965 cpu

how many 4890s? if you have one then u you can max gta 4 with quite slow framerates but cod 4 easily playable maxed

[hawk860]

my bad dude i have a NF980-G65 i saw the "neo" part and i was lookin at it be4 my build and i realised it was am2

[N1mro8]

I really hate how you people have fine computers ;-) J/K, nice man, cant w8 when i will get my new rig.

[badcompanydude]

When i'm playing with my xfx geforce 260 black edition

my screen turn blue very often what do you think?

[Decenium]

Install latest drivers?

[thecssnoobz]

lol X 530, looks ugly but delivers qutie the bass :D

[jstark069]

Yeah, I hook the rest of the speakers up bout 2 weeks ago. Got the set for a deal (20 for the whole set) For the sound they put out I get pissed that home stereos cost so dam much. lol

[p4tr1ckn4v0]

Can the m4a79 deluxe take 1333mhz ddr3 ram cause on the site it only sais about 1066mhz ddr2 ram?

[jstark069]

My fault. It's the m2a79T board and it supports up 1600. It gets a little confusing on their sites. The memory controller only supports 4 gig up to 1600 officially. If you use 8 gig, it defaults to 1066. Had to really dig into the bios. It's best at 1333 8-8-8-20 1.8 vlt. I uped the Nothbridge 400mhtz and the HT bus 200mhtz to compensate the extra bandwidth. That's a sweet spot for me but can differ per board. They say ddr2, but they mean ddr3 (dual channel). pointlessly confusing for people.

[mangkuk69]

woah, u gotta be shittin me. . . i hv a Phenom II and Scared shitless to oc it but here i am watching a PII 955 oc at 4.2 is amazing!! eventhough i have a third party coller(Coolermaster hyper212) im still scared shitless to reach that high. how much do you thin i can reach with my rig:

AMD Phenom II 940 3ghz

PAlit gtx 250 SP216 sonic(260+)

4GB DDR2 kingston hyperx

ASUS M4N78 PRO

vista home preme

?? how high can i oc. i tried to oc once and it reached 3.8 easily. nvr tried going beyond

[mangkuk69]

btw ram is clocked at 800mhz, oc by changing cpu freq. value to 220. did u chg multiplier, can you teach me how to oc to 4ghz, thx. check out my video too./

[jstark069]

If you hit 3.8 on the 940 that is deffinately the (sweet spot) for that cpu. You ahve a very good cpu cooler also (very well reviewed. Don't be too afraid to oc your board because I'm almost possitive it have on board surge protection and I crash free bios also. If you get BSOD's and just try a lil less voltage, adjust northbridge, etc. until you hit stable. Also, I run at 3.9ghz 24/7. When I go to 4.2, I shut 2 cores down, when I blow thru some video editing (doesn't use 4 anyway).

[tehraztor]

4.2 with air cooling? whats your vcore?

[Breaker3213]

What operating system are you using to use up to 8 gigs of ram?

[dezeya2k7]

x64.

[jstark069]

vista ultimate 64. I have that and xp 64

[StokaSR]

PS: Now I have AMD 6400+, will be changing to PII940.

[StokaSR]

By the way, when I owned Core2Duo E4600, I used the similar tactic as you. It would not be stable at any settings above 2.8GHz and above 3.0 it wouldn't boot. So I got the speed to 2.8 and used a program to give it another 560MHz. Then it was running at 3.36. Core 2 Duos suck by the way. No L3 cache, slow memory response and lag in every game. Terribly low minimum FPS at explosions.

AMD, smarter choice.

[barcode170]

thanks for powning all them intel fan boys

[jstark069]

Happy to be of service, lmao.

[StokaSR]

Hey, very nice. We pown Intel! Anyway, I wanted to ask you will I get at least similar performance on this build:

Phenom II 940

6GB RAM

Everything else is like yours :D.

[jstark069]

I believe so, only difference I noticed going from 6 to 8 gig was now I have no problem using Fraps while playing Crysis, downloading, and converting video at the same time. Man, I love these new chips and boards.

[StokaSR]

Yeah, they are good. Thank you, maybe I'll save some cash for more RAM.

Future is fusion.

[noordflank105144]

Aws0me vid man ^^. hey I am going to buy this cpu 2 in future, but i was wondering which OC settings u used to get it @ 4.2 Ghz . Did u oc it via BIOS ?, Overdrive or turboV. what kinda OC settings ?

Video 5/5 ^^

Already thx for in the advance ;)

[jstark069]

I set it in the bios then used turboV to boost it up just a bit more to 4.2. (3.8 is 110% stable) I now have 8 GIG of OCZ Platinum memory, so it goes even faster now.

[insynk]

I love AMD's new chips, that PHENOM II X4 955 Rocks!

[jstark069]

Yes they do, any fanboy sucks to be honest. If i7 systems were closer in price to AM3 systems, they'd have every right to brag. But as far as the cost\performance ratio is for "real world performance", AMD is now handing them their asses. And I always used intel before this build, so I just tell it how it is. Benchmarks are biased anyways.

[MarklarRavencrest]

Intel fanboys suck

[jstark069]

Yeah, the 955 has some serious headroom. I's suggest sell the 810 on ebay or something and get the 955. Might end up only costing ya 50 bucks for a crazy upgrade, lol. Can you believe intel fanboys yell at me. They are just mad that they coulda saved 4 grand by going AMD. :)

[leedime]

WOW I only have the 810 clocked to 3.4 :)

I know yours is running super fast
