MD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 7750+ Black Edition

Yeah I guess, just seems too much like effort to change (for me).

I'll stick with the 9950 until there is something substantially better.

whats that running at?

[staffsMike]

Stock right now so 2.6GHz but it goes nicely to 3.1 Don't really require all that power though, tbh I would have bought a 7750 if had been out and certainly a phenom II now they are. Just they way the cookie crumbled.

[MadduckUK]

well there has been mutterings of dual core Phenom II's, so they will be along soon it seems. all about timing

[burtie]

You'll be especially impressed with the total lack of performance boost

I hope this isn't for gaming because you will really see no difference.

No extra performance from what the tri core or the extra GPU? Still time for me to change my order.

stop worrying, its a very tasty speed bump over a 7750be

[burtie]

Not really worrying maybe more buyers guilt lol. And them benchmarks are at stock. It'll not be at stock long, if ever.

Not sure about the extra HD4850 as you can get a HD4870 512mb for around £150 to £160 delivered:

Crossfire HD4850's are better than one HD4870 And I still don't like the idea of mix and match crossfire even though it is viable.

The CPU wont change a thing In games at high resolutions, the graphics card will though. The extra core could be used for apps in the back ground though..

Not in all games though:

In the last chart the CPUs were not powerful enough in Farcry2 to make it GPU limited.

[staffsMike]

Hmmm it's always them and their ruddy cyris.. far cry lol

The dual would still be up to it i'm sure.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

more than 2

So basically that means three or four cores not two. Anyway the greater overclockability of the 720 does help too and the lower power consumption.

[staffsMike]

Lol yeah I realised and ninja editted..

Not fast enough if seems

Well i got the CPU today it's running at 3.6Ghz with 1.47v 18x multi seems it'll do more but 3.6Ghz will do for now. I've ran prime for 2 hours so I'm going to leave it for a bit longer later.
Seems to be stable
