See im one of the few that thinks the new RS looks the dogs danglies think its lovely.
That nissan is awesome as well. and i really like the new punto. Cant decide on the civic theres one near me someone has and everytime i see it i dunno if i like it or not. the rear spoiler just looks wrong...
yeah but with a combination of superpi and 3dmark you can guage total system performance and cpu has pretty much dick all influence on 3dmark now. Its all how many effects it can throw at the cpu. Why aquamark is good i find tests both gives you a score based on both.
yeah can buy SLI motherboards not much more than normal single pci-e 16x boards.
And card was £475 wasnt cheap no.
And you can test your system with aquamark3 which is what i like to use or some of the 3dmark tests. superpi etc.
My dads mate pays around £4k on his exige. But that includes his trackdays which he does as often as he can. i know its not standard though not sure what hes done though as he had an elise before but got rid for the exige.
Now looking at getting rid again was looking at a few different TVR's...
Depends on the GTX version you have ;)
Mines the 512 so standard is 550mhz and 1.8ghz.
but looking at those scores seems a little odd. The aquamark scores were rather a low lower than i get with a similar setup.
I had a little play with mine on stock air cooling on a 4400+ which isnt that...
GTX has more pipelines 24 compared to 20. and core speeds are a bit quicker and so is memory you can get same clocks but the raw power isnt there. But could probably unlock the other 4 pipes.
It'd be a quick card anyway. To be honest it'd probably be cpu limited in a lot of games anyway.
Go for the 7800GT.
More grun than the X800 series cards. The x800 series is the competitor for the 6*00 series of nvidia cards. The 7800GT will outperform it by a bloody big margin. Know one of the guys on here has 2 X800's running together and my single 7800gtx isnt much slower from from the...
Blue 182 saw you today around 12ish going up bury new road towards manchester city centre. Saw you just going past strangeways.
Saw the 172 W749 *** i think it was around 12:40ish had a full car of people was looking at the clio a bit since i was parked next to you at the lights in a red...
You can also use coolbits to overclock the core and memory which is built into the nvidia drivers it just needs unlocking. Can google for that.
When unlocking extra pipes and pixel shaders its a good idea to have a spare card on standby just incase it goes sour as you will need to set it back...
my mate just wrote off his 25 on snakes pass between manchester and sheffield. Bloody lucky though had a blowout sent the car spinning as it was on a fairly sharpe bend at the time. good job he went into the banking though otherside woulda been the barrier to a few hundred feet drop and he...
The alpine type r stuff is alright there headunits are great and there older amps are cracking the newer ones arent quite the same though. The wattage ratings have gone up and the prices have dropped just says 1 thing to me when that happens. Somethings been done on the cheap.
But £50 for the...
Bulldog 8mbit £20 a month at the moment including my phone line im happy paying that.
Not had any problems yet only thing was it was a little slow for the first couple days but then was fine after that.
A mate of mine used tiscali though was so bloody slow. Changed to bt i think it was speeds...
Anyone notice how the spec's say CAS latency 2.5 but the stickers on picture say CL 3
So obviously not selling the samsung stuff in the picture. Just some cheapo ram. I wouldnt buy it personally. Then again i really only buy corsair xms stuff least i know any problems i ever have its all...
if your on 2mbit and your only getting 400kb no thats not right you can tell them to charge you for a 512kb service until they sort it out. It all depends where you live though. my line is pretty much perfect where i live and also live right in city centre so near one of the main exchanges.
So...
They sound better there but not everyone wants to advertise they have an upgraded system cause usually also means you have something in the boot.
I prefer a nice factory stealth look to my installs so you cant really tell.
To be honest the alphasonik stuff i heard didnt sound half bad and it was set up rather well. admittedly he did have 6x9's hooked up but he had them filtered for the mid bass. and then asked him to turn them off sounded rather nice. Could pick out everything in the track cymbols and the snare...
Yup i get 2-4 on the cpu test with a rather high end cpu.
And the nvidia better than ati thing. Not true. Not in the generation of cards your looking at simon the ati's were always better then. Only now has nvidia reclaimed the performance crown. And it doesnt come cheap at £500ish for 1 card...
6600gt, its a little more but best in that area or a 9800pro.
the 5600 will be naff with 256 basially cause the rest of the card lets it down a decent 128mb card will outperform it massively. Think the 128mb 9800pro is around 2-3 more times more powerful. I had one until recently. Then i went a...
Well its not gonna be straight forward swap if thats what ya mean.
Will require some buggering about due to having to sort the crossovers out etc. Having the same issue on my C4 no idea how to get it sorted so gonna be a fun one when it comes time to change my tweeters.
Leaving a couple days...
im putting my 1.6 in for a remap not a renault no more though but from same engines people have got with a remap between 10 and 15bhp extra just for the remap and another 14lb ft. or so for £260 it seemed worth it to me.
Had my K700 for a year now and its only gave me 2 problems. And they were just the phone randomly switching its self off and then on again.
Joystick works fine and played games etc on it just put all those games on it infact. Waiting on my K750 arriving in the next couple of days.
yeah i saw the rms output on the inpahse stuff thought it was pretty crappy. dunno meh got a couple weeks to decide what to get anyways will be getting money for this 1st week of jan so hopefully get my stereo put in and my car remapped.
