So did benchmark after put 4870 1gb and i only got 14876 form it and already OC-ed to 830/1065 as well.

Q6600 --> 3.3GHz
Corsair XMS2 2x2gb 6400

Is that about right?

Thanks
 
:D
I know, but so addicted to it tho.

How to do proper benchmark anyway, turn everything off i.e internet security, sidebar, etc?
 
Honestly, don't chase benchmarks, they mean nothing. Been there, done it, wore the t shirt, gave up cos its all meaningless bull. Look at my sig.. I aint got a clue what it would do in 3dmark, and i don't care either. But it will rin Crysis at 1920X1200 with everything on very high, thats all i care about. :D

But generally you do turn everything off for benchies, AV etc. Infact a handy tip is to make an account with no AV or any other rubbish installed specifically for gaming.

But again, forget benchies, play on...
 
Thanks for the advise :D

Yeah was thinking about doing another boot just for gaming but what about gaming online, don't we need security as well?

Well i don't bother, just remember to change your account when your wanting a bit peep on the old prOn sites lol :D
 
On the previous bench something running in the background could have stolen some CPU power or something...

keep pushing, I've beaten you with a dual core and a 512mb 4870 :p
