crazcookie you tell me the frequency is all in one processor. Surprice-you wrong, the frequency is not that important. The architecture and many many other things makes one processor powerful. The manufacturer calculate 2.4ghz are fine and that's it. I want to tell you if 3.5-4.0 ghz was better for cpu they will make it to 3.5-4.0 stock, but they didn't for a reason.

crazy is wrong by the way,its easy to get a quad to 3ghz on that board,trouble is they wont go past 3ghz,but a quad at that speed is still a good thing

I find out my cpu is okay with auto vcore and 3.0ghz. Everest shows me that stock vcore is 1.28-is it right?

And see also temperatures idle.

nepas

if that is at idle then you have some problems.what cooler are you using?

if you are not happy with the FPS you are getting now then get the 4850 sell the 8800GT for $100, then pay $80 more for the 4850

at 1680x1050 the 4850 can be more than 50% faster than the 8800GT

my 2 cents

Actually my pc was broken and was gone to one computer service for repair. May be their thermal compound is bad. I have as5. how to spread it with credit card or only grain and mount the cooler ?

9800GTX>8800GT
4850 > 9800GTX

Gaming: Call of Duty 4



Activision recently released Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the next installment in the popular war game series. Moving away from the World War II setting, Modern Warfare instead centers around a conflict involving Russia and the Middle East. And hey, you even get to die ... and then continue the game in the past.

Call of Duty 4. Is there anyone who doesn't like the game? For this benchmark we disguise ourselves in the Ghillie suit, load up ACT II - All Ghillied up. Not just for the great gameplay, but also the intense and dense graphics utilized are breathtaking. Massive high-quality texturing, shaders and a serious amount of shadows, fog and debris are applied in this level to mask and hide as best as you can.

Image Quality setting:

* 4x Anti Aliasing
* 16x anisotropic filtering
* All settings maxed out

Okay then, ATI yesterday released a new driver which mentioned a big improvement of COD4 performance. That improvement definitely was also present in our driver. that's 2560x1600 @ 32 FPS with all image quality settings enabled set to high for 200 bucks people.
