I'm upgrading soon. CPU: XEON E5530 2.4ghz @ 2.98ghz 4 Cores & 4 Threads. RAM: 6GB DDR3 Triple Channel DISK: Intel X25 40g SSD SSDSA2M040G2GC once you go ssd you never go back .

It was a very nice box but this rig with an ssd instead of the Cuda drives destroys it in everything but raw gaming. I've got a budget of ~120$ to purchase me a new video card. Any suggestions?

Nitrousbird Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 expired Partly - looks like the the Coupon Code for $21 is expired, but that's it. The Visa deal didn't work for me - I even contacted Visa, but they said they were forwarding the info on the blew me off. So you can still get it for $113.74 shipped after mail-in rebates. Here is the card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6589096&CatId=3670 Rebates: http://static.highspeedbackbone.net/rebates/SIC-6057%20(US).pdf http://static.highspeedbackbone.net/rebates/SIC-6059%20(US).pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I need better HDD's on mine. 6.1 in windows index on a pair of SAS 15k drives in raid-0. I score a 6.3 with four 7200RPM Samsungs in RAID-0 using the onboard controller of my motherboard. I get a 7.7 for the CPU, yet I watched the whole time and never saw the test put it past 70% useage - I'd love to know how they come up with that score. 7.8 on the Memory. My 460 gets 7.5 on both tests on its own (saw it hit 98% useage at least), but goes down to 6 if I test in conjunction with my 7600GT's.

gillbot Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think 7.8 or 7.9 is the highest you can get. There are a few trick to fool it out there though as it's a crappy benchmark at best. Hell, I got a 6.0 with a single WD Black drive, I thought for sure 15k SAS in raid would add more than 0.1 to the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Ok, I've got a new video card in. Specs are now as follows. CPU: Core i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz MOBO: Asus P8P67 PRO RAM: 4GB DDR3 1600 (8gb soon) Video: Radeon 6850 2GB GDDR5, bios flashed to 6870 (HAS 176GB/SEC MEM BANDWIDTH!!) PS: Antec 620W Gamer HDD: 1TB WD Caviar Black in RAID-1 The 6850 is a fucking amazing card. Outperforms the 4870 crossfire, runs way cooler, uses way less power. On top of that, its the EXACT SAME CARD as the 6870, and you can just flash the 6870 bios to it and save $80. There is no risk either, as it is a dual bios card and there is an actual switch to switch between the bios. Besides the ram, this system has me set for the next few years. Total build is well under $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I should have a new PC by now but it didn't pan out Don't ask. It's difficult when it's a friend. I'm working on a build myself instead. My budget is about $1,200 and so far is looking to be on track to perhaps A little over budget, but I have time. Waiting for end of Quarter deals from various places like Tiger before I pull the trigger on the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoshop and video production. I drive a 30" HD Display as my main unit and a 24" for my pallet of tools. Mainly processing 10mp and 21mp RAW Images. Perhaps I'll send you the layout of what I'm looking at for your insight. Always open to opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yeah, pm me. I am thinking a decent motherboard, core I7 930, 12gb ram, good video card and a single ssd would do nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
