amd and ati all the way. there the best for overclocking

That might be true down the pub but in the real world there's slightly more too it or are you suggesting that every AMD processor is a better clocked than every Intel processor?

 

[rogueneo]

not every one no. the modern ones. and especially the new six core and black editions. and they dont tend to run as hot as the intel counterparts. also if buying and amd based mobo and ati card the work more in sync with each other.

Where did you get that impression? There isn't any headroom at all in AMD processors

i am guessing most people in here are intel loyal. admittedly there top end cpu's are good but the price vs power the amd's are better value and can be overclocked just get a decent 890fx board and you can overclock them well. but i know they overclock i have been doing it for years. my last 9500 was a treat to overclock.

Griff,

I'd like to say that you have more money than sense. But then I haven't got room to talk. What mobo are you running?

D.

for the record that CPU is old I've had it for yonks and paid f all for it in trade lol

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R - haven't used gigabyte for yonks and it seems like they've come along way.

I'm still planning on going for a 2GB 5970, I can then have two further down the road. That is unless I decide to wait for the 6000 series cards.
