My New Video Card Came In

[Sabbin]

Now that you mention it. I'm pretty sure I have DDR3.

Dance Dance Revolution 3?

Cool.

i loving saw that you ninja

Copy and paste is fun. Also it has like 336 CUDA cores and a texture fill rate of like... I dunno 60-80 billion per second?

Why would you get such a lovey GPU with such a stuffty processor?

It's funny because you probably have no loving idea what that means

My friend has a 8800GTS over clocked with a dual core processor and he can run games on max settings without lag. Btw most games can only read 3 cores anyways.

if thats the case then why the forget did you waste the money on the 460GTX

Because nvidia isn't making 8800's anymore and a 8800 has slightly lower specs than the 460GTX. Might as well spend money now and not have to upgrade later.

Regardless of how many cores you have, 2.93 is still a fairly low clock rate and is probably an older processor. I have a Phenom II X3 @ 3.2GHz.

You do have a point but I still need to upgrade my GPU anyways. I can't even run most games past 1024x968 resolution.

P.S. Why does everyone want me to benchmark Crysis? Lol?

Sorry for double post but most benchmark videos I see on youtube have dual core processors and are running games on max settings. Btw I'm probably not going to run most games past x4 anti-brown towniasing and anti-stropic because anything beyond that, I don't notice the difference.

Sirrus, you suck at processors.  It's a pretty good processor.  He should be able to run most things at good settings.

What's wrong with what I'm saying? A 2.93 dual is probably one or two generations back in processors. It's probably a Pentium.

It's not like everyone needs to upgrade to 3 or 4 cores now.  Two is still fine for gaming.  It's not like most games use 3 or 4 cores.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. It doesn't come in til like 5:00 so to kill time I turned off my alarm clock so I hopefully sleep in. I am so impatient.

2.8 or higher isn't really considered "low". Anything below 2.8, yes.

If its below 3.2GHz for a dual core, maybe its low.
Quad core, 2.8 or better will be fine for gaming.
