X1900XT OC

[wdEvA]

Hey guys Got these 2 results on my X1900XT 3D Mark 05, wonder is it due to my CPU causing bottlenecking..

Rig info:

A64 3000+ 250x9
2X1gb Cosair UCCC 1T 3-4-4-8
DFI Lanparty UT NF4-D
PowerColor X1900XT 256mb

3DMark 05
625/725 - 9308
650/775 - 9393

The score is kinda close despite increasing by 25/50, this should be the case? or its my CPU causing the bottleneck?

Will a X2 3600/3800 or Any single core at >2.7ghz greatly improve my results

Thanks

okie, will try to get a new cpu soon.. cant find x2 3800+ over here in Singapore anymore.. how is the X2 3600 compared to the X2 3800+ ?

hmm, did some research but found nothing much about overclocking of the 3600.. maybe i should just try to find a 2nd hand 3800, or save up for an 4200..

how about single 4000 / opty 146/148?

I might be able to get a cheap 2nd hand 4000+ but i'm not sure about how far it can clock as the owner doesnt overclock the chip..

Btw what is a mininum that a X2 3800+ can hit?

Thanks..

so not matter what, it should at least get till 2.2ghz?

hmm btw from ** sign, see that u are using opty 170, how is it compared to the x4600??

I might be able to get 1 from a guy from a forum..
