If anybody wants 3DMARK5, then you can get it from New Age Gaming this month (NAG) I bought my copy today and its on there, I was disapointed that it was not on PCF this month, but hey NAG covers what PCF doesnt do. NAG ALSO HAS CALL OF DUTY EXPANSION DEMO, really good!

i cannot run the Core higher than 470Mhz then it freezes immediatly (Running Aquamark) thats why I run it at 450Mhz and the memory max at 825Mhz I cannot clock it higher than that even if i wanted to my program wont allow and thats why I run at 800Mhz and like this it never runs hotter than 65C usua...

There's nothing wrong with your system MrG. Won't reccomend running Doom3 15 hours straight on that overclock though. You're so killing that card. Yes, I run my system on its default settings (350/550) since everytime I restart my computer it returns to its default settings anyway. What will happen...

I took my stock Gigabyte PCI-Express (350/550) and overclocked my system (GPU) to 450Mhz Core / 800Mhz Memory Clock that gave me a 9 203 3DMARK03 increase.

Yes, that is what I thought aswell. There is not real need to upgrade to that card now I may just wait then for a more powerful PCI-E Card to come early next year-mid next year

Thanks for your help there!

I have been downloading 3DMARK05 since Monday now (9:00pm till 5am) and I am 42% done (just over 110MB) so that means that I will have my 3DMARK05 score Friday! Will post it as soon as i get it! I really hope I get more than 1 000 3D05Marks

I was not talking about 3DMARK03 I am talking about the new version 05, he has asked me to give it to him on CD as soon as I got it

Ya, I guess you are right, people that havent had a chance to get Doom 3 should be able to play the Demo aswell if they could not before.

I havent even bought PCF yet so what am I getting angry about

I bought the Gigabyte 5900 PCI-E and family of mine bought the Leadtek 5900 PCI-E and we have indentical machines running the same everything. (I built both) and my Gigabyte runs faster. My card scores more Aquamark points. I would say Gigabyte.

I must agree with you I got Doom 3 and finnished it already before PCF came out and behold a Demo to a game I have already finnished, how fantastic, I think I am getting my R34.95's worth don't you.

I have a PCI-Express sytem and I must say it works great! I will recommend the PCI-Expres because all the new cards will be coming out in PCI-E! When you get a new motherboard get LGA775 because next year Intel's Dual Core Processor's around 4Ghz will be in this format! My board supports DDR400 and ...

I will bench my sytem on 3DMARK05 as soon as I download it. Which should be Thursday, so exprect me to post my 3DMark05 score soon, it is going to be terible I can already see it. I am giving Cl3r1c 3DMark05 on Friday when I get to see him, so you can expect a score from him aswell, i am really look...

If I had to buy a Graphics Card in the Future should it be Gainward or Gigabyte, at this point I may want to go Gigabyte can I have anyones opinion on this! Thanks - I dont know whether there is really a differnece

I wanted to go AMD because I heard its better for gaming and then saw performance on friends systems, but I got the Intel board because its LGA775 and the 64bit Chips from Intel due 3Quarter 2005 that clocks at 3.8Ghz will be LGA 775 and my board supports DDR2 which will be a performance booster!

Is your card a AGP or PCI-Express? My card is a Gigabyte PCI-Express, and I have heard that the PCI-E version of the 5900 is slightly slower than the AGP version.

SiLen i would say the 9800SE is better looking at bencmark etc, but I am not sure. 5900XT is a very good card aswell!
