Nice plan
What's on the plate this time? RB-C3 + four gpus?
4 gpu's yes, four slots no, 5xxx series maybe C3 yes, reviews over time to take the gloves off.
Got a bunch of cards to bench actually, really need to get on the ball, I have skipped benching single card for way to long and need to reinforce or rebench a variety of multicard.
1) Normal ES: Available to partners and press before the product actually launches. These are usually close to retail parts, maybe one stepping/node before retails. From my experience (I've had access to AMD & Intel ES CPUs before the official launch around 8 years) normal ES CPUs are actually usually worse than retails because manufacturing process develops all the time and retails keep getting better. Every Phenom II press sample (not even marked as ES but couple weeks earlier than retail parts) I've tested so far have been worse than normal retails.
Do you guys know if there is any difference in efficiency (more points) between running PCMark05 and Vantage using a E8600 @ 5000mh or a Q9650 @ 5000Mhz?
\/ENDE][A is pushing 2 3850 X2s, and TheGoat Eater is collecting his first i5 experience.
Cool - just trying to get back over 200 myself lol been a while :S
I can't wait for dual core 1156 chips as I hate this platform but looks promising for the low end stuff coming around the corner - burnt out on i5... anyone want to buy a i5 LOL
