Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo Core Prometia Mach II Overclocking @ AMDZone

Published by Newsfactory 0

Not happy with overclocking the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ to a mere 3GHz we decided to push it further. We turned to the Prometia Mach II with an updated Athlon 64 CPU kit.

Uber-high-resolution gaming on today's GPUs

Published by Newsfactory 3

We coped by doing most of our testing with 4X antialiasing and 16X anisotropic filtering enabled at resolutions as high as most monitors would take us: 1600x1200. That approach gave us a decent idea what kind of comparative performance to expect from the GeForce 7800 GTX, but it didn't entirely harness the power of two of them in SLI, as we learned when we drove a pair of 'em with the brand-new Athlon 64 FX-57 after the fact.

ATI Crossfire Sneak Peek with DFI

Published by Newsfactory 0

HEXUS.net gives us an idea of what performance we can expect to get from ATi's CrossFire. From the article: "Using Supertiling, the default mode for Crossfire under Direct3D, shows that 6800 Ultra SLI is faster. However that's just in 3DMark05, not a modern game title, and that's using a beta driver that might not be there in terms of the performance that ATI have today, internally. It'll be interesting to see where performance is when Crossfire is launched using an official driver, along with NVIDIA hardware running any new driver that NVIDIA may or may not have planned for their hardware."

Published by Newsfactory 0

Will a single core (over) clock better than the dual core in the same process and core design? Of course! That should be the case. Look at the dual core Pentium at 3.2GHz versus a single core at 3.8 GHz, or the 2.4GHz dual core Athlon64 vs its new 2.8 GHz single-core cousin.
