Asus HD5870 V2

I purchased this card (to be exact, i got it as replacement after the older ASUS 5870 got vertical lines and was broken) and i am using it for nearly 7 days. Its quite silent in in idle(at 21%), but after playing the Supreme Commander 2 it was 90C hot and the ventilator was then too noisy (at...

I think all today games, except may be Crysis , are produced only in a 32bit version. therefore it will not be able to utilise more than 4 GB for gaming. 64bit Vista can use more than 4 GB, mainly as background cash for files from HDD. it can use the memory for parallel running applications...

how misleading ??? look at this WoW picture. using 140% of one core. i think +40% gain is quite significant. http://majko1.evolink.ro/multicore/wow2.png i assume Crysis can use similar ammount of the second core (up to 50%)

2. Supreme Commander is multithreaded too: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/...w1LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA== i think only Supreme Commander, UT3 (and future games based on UT3 engine) and some racing game support 2+ cores. quad core makes sense, if you plan to play future games. not that much of...

1. i have found many, that have the same Q6600 limitations like me. some can overclock even less. i would like to ask you, what do you consider "safely", when describing the Qxxxx overclocking. i am running my Q6600 at 1.27 Vcore, CPU fan is at 900 RPM, i can run Orthos for hours without...

here is a Unreal Tournament 3 screenshot showing nicely the utilisation of 4 Cores. othe overall Q6600 utilisation is over 50%, this means more than 2 cores at 100% Unreal Turnament 3 (4 cores > 50%)

You can check it yourself easily. Just run a game and loot at the CPU utilisation in Process Explorer or Task manager (you have to have mutlicore CPU in your PC).. i have run Crysis and World of Warcraft on my Q6600 to show you, that the CPU utilisation is above 25% (1 core from 4 at 100% is...

3. its not true, that games use only 1 core now. most new games use 2 cores allready (Crysis, World of Warcraft, .... almost all) some games do allready use up to 4 cores: Unreal3 and all games based on this engine (will be many in the future), Supreme Commander and few others. if you dont...

1: Q9300 is not a better choice for overclocking than the Q6600; the Q6600 has a higher multiplier so he won't be pushing his FSB and motherboard too hard before he can hit 3GHz unlike with the lower-multiplier Q9300. 2: Core i7 is simply out of his budget range, and he's gaming so there's no...

I thikn I would buy almost everything like you, with these comments and exceptions: - 700W SeaSonic is an overkill power supply. but it's a good preparation for a future upgrade. i do recommend SeaSonic to almost everyone (except very budget oriented PC) - I would prefer Q9300 before Q6600...
