hey every1 im from Australia and was wondering if anyone might be able to help with my current oc project.
E8400 (4050mhz) @1.4875v (still optimizing clock speed, doesn't like 64bit at 4.2 but does with 32bit???)
xfx 790i Ultra pcie x16 clocks @120mhz, P06 bios (rids of the nvidia and xfx bios confusion, strait xfx bios over-write)
2x2gb super talent project X 1800 888-24 1.925v wont support duel channel on the xfx (work that 1 out)
x2 leadtech 9800gx2 quad sli config (cc750sc1800mc1100) fans 100% 24/7 177.92 with physx
xfi platinum
seagate 40NS 1TB server hdd
zalman 850w psu
coolermaster centurion
vista ult 64bit sp1
3dmark06
rivatuner2.10
ok with all that in mind i realize the bottleneck issue with the e84 cpu, i hope to invest in a qx9770 eventually as this was my gaming rig (didn't know about the gtx280 at the time :-( ) and the issue with vid ram being shared with the system ram issue is why i moved to 64bit and whacked the page file to 8gb. my issue is i cannot seem to break the 19000 3dmark line, yet i looked at the ati series and they left the 98gx2 for dead, at the time everyone told me nvidia develop better cards and have always been a personal preference but this i thought (with this amount of money and research done) was rather disappointing?
my ddr3 is running at 1800mhz, should i consider decreasing the speed to make the timings faster or stick with 888-24 with the higher freq?
any suggestions as to how i can optimize my system for some descent scores as i am running short of ideas?
also im a bit of a crysis fan, i can run the game with all settings on very high but if i enable AA the game pretty much becomes unplayable, does anyone else experience this with quad sli??
thanks heaps in advance.
Rick.
