System Specification:
- AMD Phenom II 955BE @ 4016MHz
- MSI 790FX-GD70
- Sapphire HD5850 1GB Crossfire @ 1025/1217
- OCZ Platinum DDR3 4GB(2x2GB) @ 1478MHz 6-6-6-17-T1
- Coolermaster 850W PSU
- HAF 932 or without casing (right now I have it setup without casing)

Note all benchmarks are done using 10.1 BETA drivers leaked from MSI, which are not very stable and may increase or decrease the FPS in the benchmarks compared to the 9.12 drivers.

First my 955BE overclock. This is under a 64-bit OS, for those of you who understand the significance of that for Phenom II processors...



My 5850s overclock.. got 1025/1227 on the first day! :) To be improved. Not to worry, fan speed is not permanently on 22%, I have it on a curve which takes it up to 80% when the GPUs are being stressed.



Next, the Unigine Heaven Benchmark (DX10). This is one of the benchmarks which actually suffers a little bit with the 10.1 BETA drivers. The first time I ran this I got a score of 3970, but didn't take a screenshot then. :(



Crysis Warhead.. defeated. DX10 Enthusiast, 1920x1200, 4xAA with an average of 51.42 FPS.



Devil May Cry 4.. 1920x1200, Super High settings, 8xMSAA. This game had a lot of trouble with these new drivers, micro-stuttering was definitely a huge problem on the second last scene. Still averaged over 270 FPS.



Resident Evil 5.. 1920x1200, 8xAA, full settings. This is one of the games where CPU-bottleneck becomes a problem. Even though, averaged at 104 FPS.



MORE BENCHMARKS TO COME VERY SHORTLY.

Congrats man! (1)

1.576 voltage on phenom, are the temps under control? :eek:

and show some more pics of ur setup!

Yeah, AMD processors eat more voltage up than Intel ones, temperatures are fine though. The V10 doesn't let them go over 58 Celsius under 100% load (the limit for Phenom II processors is around 63).

@ susman

You have to flash the card to either a MSI or ASUS bios - that is the only way to increase the limit to 1090/1300, all other brands stop at 775/1100. This is a fairly simple procedure which requires a USB flash drive. Just google on flashing your 5850's bios to the MSI R5850's bios, you'll find several guides on how to do this. Flash to the MSI bios to ensure 100% compatibility with Afterburner.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!
