[gzt7d8]

New drivers are tweeked for Fermi, No love for our older 295's, I went back to the old drivers as well. wanted to keep 7.9 for 2(295's) in SLI.

I hear ya, now I know and will guard against the updates. Geez, the computer is not that old either.

Oh well, thanks for the confimation KMoore!

I'll stay with my 7.6, now if could just get the processor to perform better.

Here is mine again after a new to me (used) ATI HD 4870 GPU upgrade.

 

[besweeet]

I did some upgrades to my MacBook Pro over the past month or so (SSD, small 9600M GT overclock, 4GB>8GB RAM):

My previous scores were 6.3/5.9/6.4/6.4/5.9. Definitely improved!

cant get above a 5.9 with a 7200 rpm disk?

Dirty Elf

Did you steal my system?

cant get above a 5.9 with a 7200 rpm disk?

5.9 seems to be the number for a single 7200RPM drive. If you want a SSD for other reasons, great, otherwise, don't get hung up on 5.9. A Guy

 

[DirtyElf]

@ hopalong: appears that way

@aguy: ha i wouldn't buy a ssd just to get a better wei... im going to wait till they come down in price

 

[linnemeyerhere]

DirtyElf,
You scores kick it and I'm sure the system has no issues. Your correct don't get stuck on the WEI score and SSD's are already coming down and soon well see 128gb Sata III's below $200 and I would jump in the water is fine!

 

[DirtyElf]

i would probably only need a ~64gb ssd, sataIII would be sweet too

i'd like to pay around $60 for one

 

[linnemeyerhere]

DirtyElf,
Sata II and think you've got a chance, Sata III is just too new and I was happy to get my 64 for 160.00. The performance increase was dramatic and yes I'm looking forward to good things in the near future regarding increased capacity and lower prices. Have you or anyone out there considered or operate a hybrid drive like the Seagate 500gb with 32 cache in hybrid mode? Sounds kind of cool.

From the little I've heard, spend the money on an SSD, you'll be better off.

 

[Mattz]

[linnemeyerhere]

A gain is a gain as long as it's stable, so good on ya mate and great scores!

Solid scores great job !

 

[LiquidSnak]

Well, my graphics card sucks (X550 or something) because my GT220 is windows7 incompatible. I'm looking to fix that in the near future, though.

Not bad for a budget build. My old "budget build" was a solid 5.2 across the board, however I discovered most of the components in a dumpster :roflmao:

"Before" is onboard graphics, "After" is with the X300 or X550 card. Also, my memory score jumped for no apparent reason.

 

[A Guy]

Why do you say your GT220 isn't Windows 7 compatible? I can't see any reason it wouldn't be? There are drivers for it, and the hardware will run it??

NVIDIA DRIVERS 258.96 WHQL

Let us know why you think it isn't compatible?

P.S. Also, my memory score jumped for no apparent reason.

The reason for that is the discreet video card has it's own memory, while the on board video uses system memory only.
