Finally done a 3dMark score for my new system

This is slightly oc 10459 http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w231/3MIN3M1/3dMark10459.jpg

Dual core 6600 procesor
2gb Corsair CMX2 800mhz ram
Asus Striker Extreme Motherboard
8800 GTX 768 Graphics x 1
2 x SATA 320GB HDD
1x SATAII 500GB HDD
1000 Watt Power Supply

Coudnt afford 2 graphics cards so i'm waiting till they come down a bit before going SLI, will also be putting a water cooled system in when i sart messing with it again.

I just know geordies system will knock this about a bit.

very nice scores boys, i hand over the crown!
i now wish i had waited a month for the core 2 chips to come out when i bought mine!!
you will have to give your graphics cards a nudge to wake them up when your playing BF2 as they will bearly need to work!

if anyone wants to watercool, and it is well worth it, i have made a nice shopping basket for you boys with core 2 chips http://www.coolercases.co.uk/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART
that system will more than half your cpu temps and as a bonus make ur pc super quite!

heres a few pics of my, now stone age pc

I know what you mean, i was just a little inpatient and got my FX60 the day it came out practically! LOL! But i think that it will still keep up if i had a next gen GPU. Besides i can play everything on full and the system runs like a dream.

Thats exactly what i was thinking mate, when the system starts to lag im gunna look into water cooling to make it keep up, but i reck since dual core is not even supported yet it should have some shelf life until programs start fully supporting multi core systems and 64bit!

Im started to get a little freaked out that we have the same sound set up, is that 7.1??? Coz thats how i have it! LOL!

Deffo post some pics when you start your new setup!

yeah it is 7.1 sound! that is a bit freaky!
the fx60 does still have some life left in it, at the moment I don't want to shell out for another MB cpu and ram! at the moment I am more than happy and only one game struggles on full settings, flight sim X, which is pretty boring, needs TV missiles to liven things up! apart from that it flys and will do for a while yet, waiting for 8900gxt to come out!!
watercooling is the way to go!

Bah bugger water cooling, so overrated, use Phase Change cooling!

LOL cyrus! Yeah the 8900gtx ftw! LOL! The FX60 setup will not be that much slower than a core 2 duo, just less efficient i think!

w00t! 10,147 3d marks.

And thats with an E6600 (at 3.2GHz) and 8800GTS (S not X!) at 660MHz. Thanks to Thermalright CPU / Video and Northbridge coolers!

If you could see the temperatures on that scaled-down image, you'd see CPU temp is 30deg, GPU is 50deg, right after running the benchmark. Not bad not bad!

Someone had to resurrect this post didn't they - Well just looked and my comp is on it's 1st birthday tomorrow.

I was well chuffed when i first got it - now it seems dated - DX10 is nearly in full fledge and my comp is probably becoming one of the poorest in the clan.

but i'm not upgrading - keeping up with PC parts is impossible and mine still does everything i want - only needs soon will be dx10 gfx card and new mobo, but not for another 6months or so.

Happy 1st birthday to my comp Smile

7810 with an E6320, 8800GTX, 2GB generic RAM and Windows 'Slowmo' Vista ... can't submit the result as the futuremark ORB is down, will post a screenshot ASAP.

Update - here's proof -

Almost finished a self-build 'uber-machine' which I'll benchmark and beat until I get 10,500 Smile
