AMD's processors for the most part could perform as good as Intel's despite being at a lower clock speed. It's more a difference in design philosophy though. Intel made a chip that they could ramp up the clock rates with.

jaguars4ever Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Poor Kaft shells out full price for a 7900GTX, and then the next card Nvidia releases is literally double the power.
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 The 7950GX2 doesnt double the power. It only faster than the 7900GTX in resolutions above 1280x1024 and my monitor cant do higher, so it was poinless to get one.

Seems worth it to me, Kaft. :cool:
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 It only makes sense if you play in resolutions of 1600x1200 and above with AF+AA. At 1280x1024 which is the native resolutions of most monitors today, the two are exactly the same. It would just mean a useless excess in horsepower at the cost of increased noise levels and having to buy one hell of a PSU DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Alec Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Just get a 4.1 Ghz Overclocked CPU and you'll be fine. HA HA HA
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) Sounds like a CPU issue. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, its the same result across the board on all the benchmarks Ive seen. Tom's Hardware tested it with a FX-67 or whatever theyre called so there's no bottleneck there. Anyway, Ill be selling my 7900GTX once theres a decent Gf8000 series card out and get that instead. It wasnt really meant as anything but a temporary solution when my old card broke, until I could get a Geforce8 but I didnt want to be stuck with a budget card for NWN2 so I got a real one Edited July 31, 2006 by Kaftan Barlast DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.
