how much did it cost?

30-01-2005, 11:23 AM

This PC in my opinion is not efficient

SLI is so costly & also requirs a lot of power, also the games have problem with SLI for now, so insted of a SLI motherboard U should have gone for a Single PCI-E 1 slot based motherboard

Whast the use of 2 HDs, well maybe U need them, however, I would have recomended the new SATA With NCQ HDs from Seagate as the nForce4 supports SATA 2 & SATA NCQ, efficiency is a higher thing here

Whats the use of SB LIve 5.1 when 7.1 Audio is given already onboard which beats the SB Live in all respects, insted Audigy 2 sould have been better, infact no card was required, as the onboard 7.1 is good enough for anything, U won't need a 5.1 sound card over the better onboard

The GFX card is the best but your system will be GPU limited in many cases, insted U should have gone for Athlon 64 3200+ then it would have been a better match, but then again, since GHz is dead still Higher rating counts & is becoming the new GHz

Efficient?.. let me see... SLI - costs too much?.. i got it for 12.5 grand.. its expensive. but the performance .. the comp boots up in 20 seconds.. ALL my games - Doom3, HL2, UT2k4(my main game), NFS UG2, AOM, FIFA2k5... all these work PERFECTLY at BLAZING fps... i play them at 8x FSAA n 16x aniso... image quality being VERY HIGH.. i don overclock.. so thats outta the picture if u think abt it, i.e.

And.. i didnt buy the comp jus to sell it off in an year.. my father has insisted that i use it for the next 2 years ATLEAST.. so i need flexiblity b upgradability.

Again.. SB Live 5.1.. again 3 or 4 years old.. bought it from Singapore wen the card was released in the market.. my father had a conference there.. so was lucky to get it. its still ROCKS.. using the onboard means using a lil bit o the precious bus given by the mobo.. the card relieves the mobo o that difficulty.. hehe..

2 HDD? 160 SATA was the new one.. 40 is from my old comp.. i didnt buy it now. its 3 years old.

and GPU limited... a 3200 was better???.. then please, ma man.. find me ONE piece in this country... JUST one piece.. i was waitin for the LAST one damn month for this.. and i had posted requests whether any1 knew where its available ( in India ).. on this forum.. maybe u cud have helped me then... BUT now?.. i am MORE than happy... n satisfied with this 3500+ which btw is FAR better than the 3200+.. lotta tests can be found thru out thenet.. u may check if u want to..

and power consumption - i use a 350w smps.. the one every1 normally uses - 300 w... i don think i am using my 350 fully.. so.. there.

my whole comp came to 60k.. its WAY WAY better than ANY branded PC for that price.

peace bro.

U R bashing me...

I got a FX 5900XT, even I an play games at high settings but 1024X768 res max, as my monitor doesn't support more then 75Hz after this, I keep my PC at 100 Hz & play games at 85Hz

Whatever U say man, in my opinion this is a mis matched computer, however it is good for U

Sourabh · 02-02-2005, 01:00 PM

gx changed his system again

@gxsaurav

theres a better way to say these things

passing comments whether its effiencent or not without getting into the much details is not right

i just feel for the guy 'fanactic..' who expected good comments abt his new pc and there u were saying its not efficient

btw forget all this

do u think

this is not efficient ??

what are u upto gxsaurav ??

fanatic, nice rig. But the without any upgrades for 2 years thats gonna be a tuff one to achieve with things to consider such as dual CPU cores, and dual GPU cores, DDR 2 and so on.

thanks man..

2years wit this basic overall config.. i wil be tryin to get another gt after an year .. for that.. i must study hard... cuz if i get lower grades in this 3rd engg.. i am screwed for sure.. at the same time.. a good grade wil help me press for another gt.hehehe... but anyother upgrade.. i don think i can get.. but.. pretty sure another gt wil be sufficient then!..
wow... jus look at the wierd connection between gaming n studies...

thanks.

icecoolz · 02-02-2005, 03:39 PM

hahaha...they go hand in hand mate

Also why dont you get the dual gpu core released by gainward I think. Am not too sure. cos that means later on u can get another dual gpu and keep up with the change in scenario. Think abt it. Also make sure u get a good power supply since urs is a SLI board. Otherwise like I said...nice rig

post some benchies when u can.
