on scale 1 to 10 how good is my computer it has a amd athlon II x2 240 2.8ghz socket am3 cpu oc to 3.6 a seagate 320gb sata2 hd, a hitachi 80gb sata 2 hd. has two dvd burners. a card reader. motherboard is a biostar TA790GX 128M socket am2/am2+/am3, has 3gb of adata pc6400 800g xpg gaming series ram, and a ati sapphire 3870, and ati sapphire 3850 pci express x 16 crossfired both are single slot the 3870 is 512mb of ddr4 ram and the 3850 is 512mb of ddr3 ram has windows 7 ultimte running on it
its a godd gamin pc for all games modern ones ur grpahics card are good espeacially the HD 3850
if u want a scale ill give u one
i give ur pc 8/10
thanks i would like to of had two 3870s in crossfire instead of a 3870 and 3850 but they bot are single slot and look the same
yh they look the same and a lot close in performance
how much would my pc sale for u think
also the on board is ati hd 3300 and has 128mb of side port ram how good do u think that is the onboard has hdmi vga and dvi
the hd 3300 is an integrated card its weak so weak for gaming stick to the hd 3850 and hd3870 as for ur selling pc are u really thinkin of sellin it if u r its idk man worth abt 600 bucks
ok what about salin it wit two 24 inch widscreen lcd moniters that are 1080p that i picked up forom newegg what u thinks max i could get for my pc and them combined
im guessin from 500 bucks to 800 bucks all together
alright thanks if i dont sale it i was thinkin bout gettin a new graphics card what would u recomend
well my advice to u don sell ur pc if u want a new graphics card u need to check ur budget how much money ur willing to spend do u want ur card below 100 $
below 200$
just wuts ur budget
well budget dont matter to me as long as it better than my 3850 and 3870 crossfired
u can get this from newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...
or this
http://www.newegg.com/product/produ...
they are both amazing
or if u want a nvidia card
http://www.newegg.com/product/produ...
ok i think id go for that 4890 just how much better is it than my 3870 and 50
its better by abt 40 % increase over both crossfired
if u want real performance the 5850 or 9800 gx2 are kinda similar but differ in price the 9800 is more expensve
the 5850 gives u abt 60-70 % increase
over both crossfired not to mention the DX11 support
plus u need to check ur psu those cards are big u need more than 450W to handle em
whats the best card ati makes
the fastest card on the planet is this man ATI hd 5970 it costs a fortune stick to the 4890 man but if u really wanna buy this monster than go ahead
http://www.force3d.com/products/hd5...
this should how u evrything abt the hd 5970 (monster)
but u don wanna spend a fortune on it abt 600 bucks
get an hd 4890 or 9800gt
k i have a 1220watt psu so i think i be good on power right
u will be more than good on that psu
k thanks for help man buy
6 out of 10
If u replace graphic card i will give 7/10
IMO, Crossfire & SLI configs are a complete waste of money. But before running out & spending even more money on a new card, make sure it's substantially better than your current Crossfire config. If it's only slightly better, it's not worth it.
well right now I give it a 6/10.
explaination:the common gaming machine is a 7
3 gb ram should be at least 4 if not 8 not to mention DDR2
and not DDR3Radeon 3000 series should at least be a 4000 if not a 5000
(but I WOULD NOT do SLI/Crossfire for it is a waste an 8 can
play just as many games as a 10)hard drive could be faster
last of all it is a dual core proc instead of a quad (Intel core 2
quad/ i5 or AMD Phenom II x4 black edition or at best an Intel
Core i7)I give my system (listed below) an 8
a 9 is 2-3 way sli/crossfire with either ATI Radeon HD4870/90
or Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT with 8-12 gb rama 10 is 4 way SLI/Crossfire with ATI Radeon 5870 or Nvidia
Geforce 295 GTX with 12-148 gb ram (yes, there is an Intel
Xeon mobo that supports 148 gb ram...) .it is impossible to keep a 10 for more than 2 months at the
rate technology advances. a 7 is more than ok when
it comes to any game. I would recommend uping yours to a 7.
an 8 is for the everyday hardcore gamer or student in 3D and
Digital art maybe running multiple monitors (me).A 9 is for the people who are extreme about standards, game
non-stop and are compensating for something, or are semi-
pro in 3D and Digital art running multiple monitors (almost
me).A 10 is for people who are absolutely absorbed in games and
their worlds and normally are compensating for a lack of
something in their life, or are pros in 3D and Digital art running
4-9 monitors (mostly 3D) (hopefully me one day).Your comp is fine but is fast approaching it's time. If you want
a 7-8 you need a new comp or you need to swap a couple
parts. if you want a 9-10 boy will you be investing thousands! I
hope I didn't insult you, but It's just honesty, I certainly did not
intend it. Your computer is probably growing toward age 4 or 5
am I right? If not, you are casual which is more than fine.-Intel i7 Bloomfield 2.66Ghz Quad Core
