ssmokee Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 what if the mobo has 4x but not 8x? would it run at half the performance or full?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Realistically it will run at 99.99% of the performance. Dont worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 so? , the venice core is pretty new and better than then the older ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombaTwist Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 but like if i want to upgrade my video card, dont i need a cpu of about 2.4 GHz if its very new like the GeForce 7800 GTX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomizer Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 if you insist on getting an aftermarket fan for your mainboard CPU, then save a couple $$ and don't get a retail CPU. get the OEM instead. also (and maybe you already did this), from expierence, i'd suggest getting everything you can from ONE vendor and newegg is an outstanding choice.

I havent read anything about needing a specific CPU for that card either. Where did you see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombaTwist Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 i didnt read it anywhere, i just though a very big video card would need alot of GHz to help it run more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 The Venice core overclocks very good . AGP is a good choice only if you don't plan on upgrading. Many cards that come in AGP and PCX flavors are identical except that AGP costs less. Socket 754 might also be a good choice, since AMD might base their future processors off of Turion, which is S754. As far as I can tell, your computer will be capable of playing all of the current games, but probably not future ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbe Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) Well, you chose for 939 socket, but still want agp??? That's kinda contradicting, because in a year you'll barely find any agp cards anymore. And about ocing, I've got a 3500+, and I can run it easily @ 2.7Ghz (but I don't have a stock cooler, and havn't pushed it much yet). Since I have a winchester, and you're getting a Venice, you'll probably be able to get the same speeds. Only problem would be your lower multiplier.
