I find myself in a bit of a conundrum - I am looking to upgrade components, this will probably be GPU and Mobo.
Currently I have persivore modded 7950GX2 and P5WDH - I also have a p5b dlx (unmodded).
I have been benching what I have recently to see how it fairs against other competition as featured in our current mbot league tables - to be honest it holds it's own nicely - even managed to imporve my pcm04 scores
In fact if I had time I would hook the phase up again as I think I would improve on most of my curretn scores.. in particular 3dm01, 03 and AQM3.
But I am considering my options and would like to be able to contribute to the team with some revised scores with newer kit.
The issue I have is that SLI seems to be the only way to get a improvement on my scores which also affer an improvement in everyday gaming etc - the downside being I need a new mobo with a nvidia chipset on it and that the power consumption become a bit higher.
I am looking to see what you would upgrade to (from what I have) given the choice.
I hear that the 680 chipset from nvida is a good one for clocking- but also hear that it has issue on the southbridge, I dont know what issues just that it has some, feel free to expand on this.
It could just be that I wait a few months before I upgrade to see what else turns up hardware wise.
I am leaning toward 8800GTS (persivore modded me thinks) SLI and ASUS P5N32-E SLI or use the P5B (get that modded) and a sinlge 8800GTX (again persivore modded)
Express yourselves here pls.
Cheers
