X3 720, XFX HD 4890, Dell 2209WA, MX5021 speakers, Call Of Duty 5 Maxed out

[TonyTorresTheThird]

Did your 720 BE unlock (the fourth core)? The reason I ask is because I just picked up this card for real cheap and I was thinking of pairing it with either an X3 720, X4 840, or X4 945. The X3 720 is the least expensive of the three. I have an ASUS board with the Core Unlicker feature and had success unlocking an Athlon II X3 440 to a stable quad-core (CPU-Z rated it as a Phenom II X4 B40 once it unlocked); but it doesn't have an L3 cache like a true Phenom does. Thanks ub advance!

[twoPEU]

This monitor is the most affordable IPS panel ever and i also want it for gaming and movies...do you have any problems with it in ?

[abchakraborty]

no problems whatsoever. happy with it.

[TaKeViD]

Better a Stable FPS than a high unstable^^

[MEneifal]

do you have input lags on this monitor? I want to buy it.

[vaughnscheunemann]

wow I get about 200FPS with the Radion HD 4890 Vapor-X cooling what's your other specs.

[abchakraborty]

Really? wow 200fps...that's amazing...well considering you've overclocked the crap out of the HD4890, i'm not surprised. So you've maxed out all the settings? What res are you running?

I'm getting 65-67fps as a absolute minimum when there's a lot of action on screen. 70-90fps otherwise.

[abchakraborty]

Er...actually 200fps I think it's the level. that beach landing mission is a pretty large level with lots happening. On the next level, (the sniper mission) it routinely maxes out at 200fps...probably would go higher, if i set the max frame rate limiter higher.

But I'm giving a realistic worst case fps. 200fps or not, it's really a moot point if the lcd screen only displays 60fps.

[mupp33n]

Your fps is weird, my 8800gt runs it at ~91 and dips to 55 ish and this all on 1680 (1920 native)

[abchakraborty]

Yeah...i thought it might be a bit low...I don't know whether fraps was running properly actually... i couldn't figure out the settings....oh i think I know what I did wrong...i was trying to record it at 60fps at full resolution at the same time using fraps...that's probably why it dipped so low. i'll try again with just the fps meter with no recording.

Ultimately though...I couldn't be happier with my setup...all games maxed out...everything smooth...I don't need a number to validate that.

[mupp33n]

I'd get an HD4890 myself if my PSU wasnt so full of bs.lol, missing both 6pin (an extra that is) and 8pin, and a new mobo & proc, my 9750 cant even oc 50mhz.

[BionicNoodleX]

i have a similar build, runs this game on about 60-90fps. In multiplayer im getting almost constant 125

[abchakraborty]

Actually i wonder about the fps myself...how do you find that out ingame?

[BionicNoodleX]

download a program called Fraps

has a little yellow counter on the corner when playing

[cochranand]

wow, you don't need fraps just enable the in game console and type cg_drawfps 1

and it will show u the fps in game

[tulloman]

good... fps?

[abchakraborty]

I downloaded fraps and ran the same video test... i was getting a consistent fps of 45-50fps.

Never felt less than smooth video.
