Help with Benchmark.

[Zezlar]

As others have stated. I would assume it's the 7770.

i know i kinda cheaped out on the gpu but the mobo cpu and ram all at once killed my budget lol i plan on upgrading it but i was expecting better. The Cpu and board are great as far as i can tell and the ram is more than enough.

I wasn't aware ARR was gonna be less demanding that good maybe ill be ok after all.

And i was gonna rebuild anyway i been thinking it for a while the bad Bench score was just the final push.
:P
In terms of my old machine it ran 1.0 ok until i was in populated areas then it sounded like a jet engine... :P

Wow some of you guys are really harsh with your criticisms, like geez.


I would say OP that you have chosen a nice upgrade path from what you had.

If anything, I'd say that the most significant upgrade of all was from the CPU. The Core2Duo and Core2Quad are starting to show their age at this point, and I think you made a great decision with the board you chose. Don't listen to some of these other comments lol.

Choosing AMD over an Intel was a great choice too for having the easiest upgrade path, and also, one of the best decisions you made (considering ALL of your hardware) was buying that motherboard. It's solid choice and should not be outdated for a while.

As far as the GPU choice goes, I'd say you chose well too. The 7770 has a great price to performance ratio (best bang for buck). Another thing to consider too for more performance is hybrid CF or whatever AMD calls it. It can drastically improve your graphics output. And although you ran the 260's in SLI (which not all games support btw) the 7770 beats a single 260 and even uses less power.

May I recommend a Solid State Drive as well OP? The technology is a bit better than it was a few years ago, and is also much cheaper. It would compliment your new hardware very well.

Btw for those who haven't noticed this...that 1.0 benchmark is broken.

Old system wasn't bad but that new one is going to scream.
I can't help but think you just posted this as an E-peen topic though. There are all kinds of topics about the benchmark..
They aren't very similar btw. I build computers and your new one would stomp a mud hole in your old one.
Let's not get into AMD VS Intel plz..
Take that to a tech forum.
AMD is only better cost wise.. Not "upgrade" wise or "capability" wise..
AMD and intel both have the same upgrade capabilities.

Good benchmarks are: Vantage, Catzilla, A new Dawn, Furmark, 3d mark.
Enjoy.

thanks, i have a SSD in there too not sure if its operating at optimum speeds as read time isnt much quicker than my old HDD but im researching this as i type lol.

I'm aware the Bench is flawed but i felt a lil dissapointed the improvement wasnt as much as hoped but maybe it is the card i dunno?. running a 3D Mark_11 now i have screen shot of my previous rigs results to compare. fingers crossed

I don't see any AMD vs Intel going on here. Just a bit of advice that might have been useful to the OP (though mostly before the purchase).

Again sorry didnt know where to post this, and it isnt an Intel vs AMD thing. The only reason i swapped was purely because this board only came as an amd, my first ever built was an asus board so i decided i'd trust them again hench the switch.

Things like this, is what I was referring to.

Regardless your new pc is strong.
Don't worry about it.. ^^

lol yeah im a little impatient i wanted it now and the results now! lol but if it takes time to get the setup at its optimum so be it. I believe ARR will be worth it.
