DaPoets Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 it reads the monitor's brand and model type... Viewsonic UltraBrite A90f+ The monitor cable is hard connected to the monitor so switching the cable isn't possible unfortunately... Perhaps at the lan event I could connect someone's monitor that has a DVI-D input to my machine to see if crossfire works fine on it...

DaPoets Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It looks great in my trunk right now lol, I'll tell you later. I probably won't really be able to test it out until tomorrow at the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurSuiT Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 First attempt and just put this system together tonight, no OC yet, only thing that has changed is the Mother Board, CPU and MEM. Same HD, video card, PSU, CPU heat sink, case fans and case are the same; I did not even have to reinstall Vista Ultimate 64-bit , and I do not have to have my side panel off any more due to heat as I am running 50+ watts less. 2900XT = 11428 3dmark06 http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultan...mp;UID=13426302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Nice score bro...you are almost double my score!! Your CPU and VC smoke mine!! Keep wait to see the OC results!! Looking at the chart you are faster than 90% of the computers who took the test, but the fastest computer is more than 4x your score (damn). In real life, you are probably faster than 99.9% of the computers as only benchmarkers and overclockers use this tool. It almost makes me want to upgrade. It's good to see that Vista detected everything well and didn't force a reinstallation. I'm on my 3rd motherboard with this installation of XP.

B.Ob. Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 NICE PurSuit, that is everthig at stock speed I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurSuiT Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 NICE PurSuit, that is everthig at stock speed I assume? Was looking through those results and noticed the CPU was set from a 6600 2.4Ghz to a 6700 2.6Ghz. Either I got a 6700 for real or the bios default is 6700. So for that test it was st 6700, alittle OC'd 200Mhz. Just odd the the BIOS default is 6700. I am not complaining though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
