Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

Just thought I would give an update for those who are in a similar situation as me. I decided on getting a video card instead of upgrading my whole system. I went with an Albatron 6800GT from Newegg. (which auto detects at 421/1140) w00t! :) My 3dMark05 score is 5580...up from 1240 with my...

Will a vanilla 6800 be overkill for an XP chip

Just upgraded from a 9600pro to a 6800GT (oc'ed at 400/1100) ona Athlon XP 2.0ghz. My FPS and 3dMark05 score are right up there with the A64 systems. I thought I would be bottlenecked, but took the chance, and it was worth it!

Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

Okay, if I buy an AGP vid card for my current system instead of upgradin my mobo and CPU, I have narrowed it down to these two cards: Albatron Geforce 6800GT 256MB w/TV-Out ($274 Shipped) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814170057 or MSI RX800XT Platinum Edition -...

Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

Okay, so you're swinging me back towards a 6800GT for my current system. ( and so is the cost to get a new system, lol ) I like to buy vid cards for a good 2 to 3 year lifespan. This 9600pro has given me two years, and could give about one more, but I have the upgrade my graphics itch...

Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

Just realized I put 1400+ for my CPU, but it is a 1700+. I was thinking 1470mhz, which is it's default clock speed. duh Not that that changes much, but it better explains why my OC got me to 2ghz. lol So, would I be good to go by using this deal...

Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

Thanks for your input everyone. If I bought a new CPU, I would just do a new mobo too, so I could get an AMD64. I know my current system will run a 6800GT, but not at it's top performance, and I don't think the graphics are going to look better enough to make it worth buying another AGP...

Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

So, a new CPU, or whole new system? A 3200+ for my current system runs at 2200mhz, but needs a 200FSB to do so. I can't get my FSB above 185 right now. I'm afraid if I buy a new CPU that needs 200FSB, I may find out it's my RAM holding the FSB back, and need new RAM as well. But, it is...

Will my System hold back a 6800GT?

I've looked around at many reviews and forums over the last couple days, but haven't been able to determine a definitive answer, so I thought I would ask my favorite PC crowd at the AT forums. I am looking at the 6800GT as an option for a new vid card, since there is an AGP version going for...

Thanks Bojax. I appreciate your opinion. The only reason I went with that PSU, is the research I have done has shown it to be very reliable. Every review and customer review I have read has said its nothing short of great quality and performance. The price for 450watt versus the big name...

I have been researching what Nforce2 board to get for months, and after it is all said and done, I have decided to go with the 75FRN2-L. All of the features, stability, and oc'ing ability are great...and it not having soundstorm is not an issue for me, as I always use headphones. You guys...

What do u think the maximum i can OC my video card ti4200 is?

Putting a non-stock fan with a heatsink on your CPU should help it's temp quite a bit...as well as proper ventilation of your case.

What do u think the maximum i can OC my video card ti4200 is?

I have my PNY 4200 64mb at 275/600. Just about everyone can get the memory clock to 590 or 600...some have it at 620 or higher...but 600 seems to be the average. I couldn't get the GPU to run stable above 275 though. :( I have read that almost all the 4200 GPU's can do at least 290, but no...

Hot! PNY TI4200 for 49.99 AR still alive :O

I went to the Best Buy in Tampa, FL on Saturday March 22nd. They didn't have the PNY 4200 in stock, and their registers said $169.99 was the price. However, I went to the Games Kiosk and used the BestBuy.com terminal, and the price showed up as $79.99 once I added it to my "shopping cart". It...

Any AT'ers with the XP 1700+/1800+ T-Bred B's yet?

Any AT'ers with the XP 1700+/1800+ T-Bred B's yet?

Thanks! I'll look at those. :) EDIT: I can handle the price on the 8rda. Will the 8rda perform similar to the Asus mobo in terms of OC'ing? Or is it worth it to save up for the Asus?

Hi all, this is my first post here, but I have been reading many of the posts on this part of the forum for a long time. If my boss only knew how much of my time I spend reading about OC'ing, etc. :) Just a quick question. Would this motherboard be a good mobo to use for overclocking the...
