Werd.

Picked up a 9800GTX to see if their would be a difference or not. Can't say I've noticed anything. Both play awesome. I was an idiot and lost the receipt for the 9800GTX.

Now I'm going to sell either the 9600GT's or the 9800GTX, which ever sells first. I was thinking about selling one 9600GT and keeping the other for a media center PC at some point.

Man there sure isn't a lot of interest in Vantage. We only have a small handful of scores so far.

P10,271 | Akubane | [*COLOR=blue]Q6600 @ 3.2GHz[/color] | [*COLOR=SeaGreen]EVGA 9800GX2 @ 700/2140[/color] | Vista 64bit [*URL=http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=134490&resultType=19]ORB[/url]

ORB displays q6600 as 3.6 but it's not. Most things on my PC read it's clock speed wrong. Including windows itself. I don't know why. Everest is the only thing that gets it right. It's at 3.2. I can't run it stable at anything higher. Crap chip.


I don't run these most times because they're so CPU dependant its disgusting. But that only bugs me because of my cpu lol.

thanks XD
I can keep inching it up higher with better gx2 clocks, but i won't see much more without a better cpu :S.
think i might just order a q6700 lol. Is there anything I have to worry about with those? like g0 and b3? because if i get stuck with another b3 furnace like the one i got ill beat my head off a wall lol.

nosboost would dominate this if hed use vista XD

It's reading your clocks wrong because you aren't at your max multiplier. My computer does the wrong thing if I don't run at 9x. If I go at 8x or 7x it will read it as if it was 9xFSB instead of 8xFSB. If you're running 3.2 I'm assuming you're 400x8. Windows will read this as 400x9 for some reason. I hope I've explained this in a way that makes sense.
