Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
Man 6950 is more than enough. If you can play Crysis2 at 50+ FPS what else you want ? I would buy the new Asus Direct CU2 edition of 6950. There is not much difference between the 6950 and 570. There are some games that benifit Nvidia and some from Redeon. So you just calculate which games would you be playing. Go for the one that runs cooler and makes less noise. YOu wouldnt really feel the difference between 100 and 110 FPS any ways.

Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
AMD begins to prepare for the launch of their FX series processors based on the Bulldozer architecture, it appears that they will be hitting Intel Sandy Bridge (below the belt), from the preliminary images of their boxes and marketing banners

Even though this is not yet officially released by AMD, we can assume they’re fairly accurate. It looks like AMD is toying with positioning of their key message for these processors, which is “Unlocked and Loaded” taking a direct dig at the Sandy Bridge non K series “limited unlocking" :rotfl:

Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
They better start shoeing some numbers now 
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
I guess your windows performance scores must be 7.1 - 7.9? I haven't played games on my new one yet (in service center right now) but it does have an SSD raid drive, so I guess games must run fast just like startup and program load times are faster.
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
YAY 
got sandy bridge 2500k with asus p8p67 PRO.graphic card will arrive in couple of days
time to hit 5GHZ 
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
MAN!!!
The new platform is coming in few months time. You should have waited yar.:fatee:
anyways, I managed to overclock mine beyond 4.3GHz :e6:
guys in other forum cant believe lol They are still trying to figure out how I managed that 
A 3.3GHz SKU to 4.3+ GHz no voltage tweaks and no cooling, just the stock cooler.
but really it was very easy. You might figure out ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs

yeah but i dont have a ssd yet so the hard drive score is 5.9
CPU 7.5
RAM 7.8
GPU both 7.9
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
I was thinking of getting an SSD for lenovo, but the prices are still high for decent storage, though I guess decent storage would vary across people.
Btw, doesn't overclocking your processor basically reducing the life of it due to heat? I assume you did manually by tweaking some settings, as automatic overclocking doesn't go that high unless you have a serious processor.
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
They new 32nm technology based SKU dont have heat issues. They overclock fine even on stock cooler. They even consume less power which means less energy loss as heat. They have a base setting of 16x which means the CPU stays at 1.6GHz while performing minor tasks like browsing the web or working in word etc. I had to play 20 Blu-ray movies at a time to max out my CPU.
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
how is it possible with non k version 
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
Hi, I just moved from the US to Islamabad, and I was wondering where I can PC parts, either online, or locally. In the US, there was Newegg, but from looking around on the internet, I can't seem to find a good website that will ship to Pakistan. I'm looking for a Corsair Force F120 SSD, and two GTX 460's at reasonable prices.
Any help will be great.

Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
Nice, time to show us some numbers man. Like 3dmark 11, wPrime
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
will do that,right now iam using 32-bit version of windows can't make use of 4gb ram
will install 64 bit today :D
also h50 sucks,alteast at the price at which they are selling here,h70 and n14 were around same price.
had to go with n14,i was thinking about H60 it would take some time to get here
Re: gaming pc (expert thread)
so why didnt you get H-70 then ? You gotta have water cooling to handle 5GHz and plus
and dont worry about the Ram. Size does not matter in these benches anyways.
