Hope that helps.... High 7k's is excellent with a 512MB Cache chip

THANK YOU!!!! yes that does help...it's been bugging the s_ _ _ out of me why after beating my head I cant seem to bust 8K in sandra.

I also notice multi has a lot to do with it also.

OK you wanta see unbuffered

I still think in real world Gameing I'd be useing SSE instructions.... but I want argue.

Sierra_abx · 02-09-2005, 10:53 AM

Nice unbuffered score, Blue. Most people run the buffered test because they like to see big numbers. But the unbuffered test is more indicative of real world performance.

Sandra is also famous for suicide screenshots because a system doesn't have to be 100% stable to run the bandwidth test.

ANT THAT DA TRUTH

And I hate to tell ya but even 3D MArk will run at speeds that any game would crash with in 5 minets

I post game stable results....thats what I'm proud of

BTW, a 90nm FX is apparently coming soon. Though I'll believe it when I see it.

FX-55 90nm, Opteron 252 90nm - Feb. 14th

Don't know if any one can help! Both my 6800GTs work fine singularly, but trying to use SLI I get a BSOD just after windows log in screen:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Psu OCZ 600, so no probs there!

Cheers!

Sierra_abx · 02-09-2005, 11:42 AM

Would help if you listed your specs.

That error message can mean a number of things.

xgman · 02-09-2005, 11:47 AM

Ther are currently zero 55's of any sort in the channel. So whatever is coming I suspect will be hard to come by.

Heh - yeah - got mine $950 + shipping for mine used on ebay. It sold in less than 3 hours using Buy-it-Now last Saturday.

I'm thinking about just getting a 3500 Winchester. Does anyone here have an opinion on how much slower it will seem in real life?

Also, thoughts: DFI Ultra-D or Neo4 Ultra - which board to buy? I like the Neo4 because of more slots, but the DFI looks good because of the overclock options?????

Sierra_abx · 02-09-2005, 12:28 PM

If you don't need a lot of VCore, then the Neo4 might be a good option. Seems to overclock pretty well. There is a vmod if you like to solder.

xgman · 02-09-2005, 01:30 PM

D&H distributers for AMD have deleted the FX55 13 and only have orders now for the FX55 90nm version. No ETA, but I suspect that the .13 is history, and the new shipments later this month will all be quietly switched to the 90nm versions.

Sierra_abx · 02-09-2005, 01:34 PM

Unless the 90nm FX-55 has the new instruction set and is proven to be a lot faster, then I'm inclined to hold off until FX-57 comes out in either Q2 or Q3.

The link doesn't work for me - and don't see it (yet) on the DFI page either. :-(
