Crysis CPU Bench on 9600GT Overclocked and E8400 Overclocked

[andyli916]

wth? its not overclocked, those are the stock settings

[arbpotatoes]

It was at 3.5GHz. The E8400 runs at 3GHz stock, my friend.

[andyli916]

I mean the 9600GT, its at Stock Settings..

[arbpotatoes]

I'm fairly sure it's overclocked. Perhaps you're comparing it to a factory overclocked version?

[yarazar]

That is overclocked dude... i have an e8400 myself and stock settings are 3.00ghz...

[JOAPY]

@andyli916 Not to mention you just abbreviated what the hell....which is the most retarded thing i've ever seen.

[andyli916]

I ment the video card, its stock settings.

[arbpotatoes]

WHOOPS

Gin132456, accidentally removed your comment, but the client did not wish to have the CPU overclocked. We just did it to see whether it was a viable option for those who did in future.

[Ratko92]

HEy dude can u plss make a vid how to overclock the E8400 on gigabyte mobo plssssss :D i will subcribe and rate plsss its becuse i dont know how to overclock the E8400 on gigabyte mobo

[n0aimChris]

Ratko92, just search on google.

[doogle2468]

what size screen is that? i have a samsung 32inch but its a tv and get performance loss although i am using a vga cable atm

[arbpotatoes]

It's a 42 inch Plasma. We were using a HDMI cable.

[doogle2468]

thanks for your reply. i have a 32inch lcd tv screen with a vga cable and have some problems, will going to hdmi help?

[arbpotatoes]

What kind of problems are you having?

[doogle2468]

amd phenom quad 64 2.55ghz

2 9800gt's

8gb ram (but on 32bit)

well the resolution looks kinda crappy. but mainly performance on high i have a bit of lag even when overclocked. but i tried it on a standard flat screen pc monitor and it performs smooth as hell. any idea's will going hdmi help? o and the 32" does 1080i with xbox 360

[arbpotatoes]

Going to HDMI will not help with any of your performance issues. It may (MAY) improve the image quality. What resolution are you running the 32" at and what resolution are you running the monitor at?

[Leoooonard]

tip get 64-bit vista then you can use 8gb rams and your 64-bit cpu :D its rly just a fps investment :P

[arbpotatoes]

Tip: Don't get 8GB of RAM. Waste of money, 4GB is fine for anything right now.

[eminemSWE]

i got that setup but mine isent clockt so how good will i run crysis?

[arbpotatoes]

Really the E8400 doesn't need to be overclocked in this setup. The 9600GT isn't fast enough to be bottlenecked by a CPU at 3GHz. On High, expect around 25-30 FPS (If I've remembered right).

[TheOnlyDuST]

stupid reply button...... so this prob isnt going to reply correctly eiter but i got mine for $99 i forgot to mention it

[mihaelmartinovic]

i ve played crysis well at an resolution of 1440*900 every thing on ultra high: gigabyte geforce 9600gt 512mb gddr3 overclocked it my self from core clock 720mhz to 786mhz sharter clock 1945mhz it was 1800mhz and same memory speed 2016 datarate. amd phenom x3 triple core processor 8450.

[B1U3P5YCH0]

I have the same overclock as you on stock cooling :D, but i have a 9800gt ^_^

[arbpotatoes]

Nice, I'm going to purchase a HD 4850 soon for myself. I'm still on an E4600 though, but with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro I can get it to over 3GHz.

[mexboiii]

if you have an e4600 why does the title state that you're using an e8400?

[arbpotatoes]

If you read the description, you would see that this system was not for me. :)

[CriticalIdiot]

The 9600GT is the best thing for gamers who can't afford to pay out of the nose for good quailty gaming

[TheOnlyDuST]

exactly !!

[emretzzon]

The 9600 is a better buy, the difference between it and the 8800gt is minimal, and the 8800gt is like 40$ more

[scumfuccrust]

I'm making almost an identical PC, but with an asus p45 board, 4gb of ram and a 640gb western digital HD.

[1xxphilippxx1]

you have one of the best processor :) like me !!! lol

[B1U3P5YCH0]

my 8400gs(35:99) i have it my core overclocked to 670

[arbpotatoes]

nice :D

[B1U3P5YCH0]

but obviously your card kicks the shit out of mine :P 800x600 at med is the best i can do lol

[arbpotatoes]

The 9600GT is still a fantastic value card. You can pick one up for around $120 now.

[TheOnlyDuST]

got mine of newegg the MSI 9600GT OC @ 700mhz hopefully if i max out the fan (idk about noise) i can get 800mhz or more

[jasonfisher92]

well i have a xFx 9600GT and ive got it to 890mhz core on water cooling. its great

[UltraMarine117]

GA-8ipe100 mobo good bad ? you decide lol

[arbpotatoes]

Do shut up people.

[HLM190586]

So you like blowing up stuff huh?

[MaxiMachine]

he isnt actually playing...its a cpu test to test your physics...

[henlovold]

Nerd is a positive term :D

Haha, i linked ya this vid

[mikejaxer]

I guarantee that you'll do alot better with windows XP

[toatq]

yo ok decent i get 36 on high on the cpu bench i have the same cpu so it would be your video card i have gx2 but still nice

[qwertymac93]

lol, 9600+8400, lol this guy. AT LEAST get a 8800gts, but 4850 is cheaper and way faster so...

[arbpotatoes]

Nah, he didn't want much gaming power. Mostly he needed it for watching Blu-Ray movies and other media stuff (ripping, editing). We got the 9600GT because it has an SP-DIF connector so you can get sound through a HDMI cable via a DVI-HDMI adapter.

[qwertymac93]

and had he ever heard of a 3870, i mean come on that the EXACT same reason i got my 3870.

[stfgParadox]

u must be good at overclocking..your customer must have been stupid to want u to overclock a 9600gt though

[jayzninvazn]

why is that a stupid request? 9600GTs are great overclockers.

some of the highest overclocks i've seen have reached a GPU Core 800+ Mhz and Memory 1100Mhz

a boost of almost or about 1000pts in 3DMark06

[jayzninvazn]

mind you that's from stock GPU:650 memory:900

[qwertymac93]

um, because thhe 9600gt is slow to begin with...

[serb4life93]

hows that PSU doing ? i heard it bad im getting same PSU .. with 8800gt graphics card will it run good?

[arbpotatoes]

Yeah, it's a good PSU. It'll handle the 8800GT no problems.

[MaxiMachine]

is an E8400 really better than a quad? I heard it was

[dezeya2k7]

Its not better benchmark wise, but gamewise, the 1333FSB helps out a lot.

[arbpotatoes]

The only real reason to get a quad in MY opinion is for media editing programs that use them, and for show. Crysis is one of the few games that actually uses more than one core, and it can only use two.

[Bsatt]

lol

[Bsatt]

Hey, um do i know you by any chance? thats pretty cool, i want to build my own desktop at the end of the year.

Should i get an M1730 Dell XPS or a Mac 17"

[SynCroNiz3]

Good processor and good overclocking board, customer should be happy = ).

[SuperiorBeen]

Core 2 Duo E8400 can do much more with a decent cooler! I have it @ 4Ghz!

[arbpotatoes]

Yeah i heard about that, I am pretty sure you can get it up to 4.4ghz without water cooling it, though unfortunately there was no time to go and buy a better fan.

[watitdo364]

im ordering a comp with core 2 duo e8400 tomorrow do you like it?

[arbpotatoes]

oh yeah, with the overclock you can get out of it its well worth its price. If you can, get a good cooler for it so you can get it up to 4GHz+!

[watitdo364]

will do thanks for the advice
