Anything Benchmarking/Over clocking/Tweaking/Gaming & Performance

start up? that crew never stopped haha

And well they have an argument with 06, they do not with Vantage as it has been dead on for predicting game performance in my experience. I am sure that 3DMark11 will behave very similar to Vantage in not showing a huge bias towards either the cpu or gpu

I got 2 benches to share

My desktop full stock in 3DMark11:

I finished my "gaming" desktop! Specs: Intel Pentium Dual Core E6300 @ 2.8GHz(2MB), 3GB DDR2, 500GB HDD, 500(or 550?) Watt cheap-o PSU, and an Nvidia GeForce GT 240 512MB GDDR5. Yes its low end, but good enough for this poor high school student

I did badly on cost though, I spent about $300 on it? Is that bad?

Here's after 30 minutes of CoD Black Ops:

are you crazy??????????? cost is very good!!!
if you would have caught microcenter a while back..you could have snagged a quad for 89 bucks.

Whew, good, I thought I may have gotten ripped.

I paid $200 for the desktop with a Pentium D and 2GB's of memory, no Nvidia card. I paid $55 for the video card, $45 for the E6300, and $25 for PNY ram with heat sinks. I'm selling the old Ram and CPU, so that offsets my costs.

It plays CoD BO on highest settings(1280x1024) great!
