/me mocks Satis' futile attempts to bridge the gap to my rig
But then, you could prolly just throw in a few hundred bucks to get a better card if you really wanted to, which is more than I can say.
Got FEAR today btw. Goddamn finally.

Well I finally got my upgrades in.
Went from a
P4 2.4 400mhz Bus Non HT -> P4 3.0 800mhz bus, HT, 1 meg cache
Ati 9700 pro -> Geforce 6800
After the install, no overclocking I scored a 3300'ish. For Satis and my defense the 6800 doesnt do well when running the default settings of 3dmark. The 6800 really shines when the max settings are applied. source tomshardware.com
I played around with overclock the processor and the video card. Im quite impressed with the processor overclocking. I can bring it from a 3.0 to a 3.4 then it tops out. Runs stable.
The video card, I can overclock from 300 core cpu -> 385 and 700 memory -> about 880.
I unlocked my extra pipes but it gave me artifacts on my games.
My motherboard has a feature call "Dynamic Overclocking" where it will overclock your gear only when your doing something intensive like gaming. Ive messed with it manually and using the D.O. Ive been playing with the settings and so far Ive been only able to squeeze a 3400 in 3dmark with overclocking.
Although im not to impressed with the 3dmark scores I am very impressed with the upgrade.
My games look awesome, no lag. Quake 4 runs smooth as greased lighting. Over all I'm impressed with the Nvidia card. WAY better control panel, more bright vibrant color. Defiantly sticking with Nvidia form now on.
So for a $169 video card It was well worth it. Now to start saving up for that new motherboard, pcie video card and p4 EE processor. LOL
Btw, for those of you that recently bought very expensive video card upgrades the 512mb memory video cards come out soon. LOL. Pwned.
EDIT
Ok, something must be wrong with Satis and I computer. I re-read Derfs specs and correct me if Im wrong but he has a ATI x300se? According to tomshardware the 6800 should smoke all the x300 series.
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphi ... _mark_2005
granted these are PCIE cards but the difference shouldt be that big. And it shows the x300se to only score a 1000
Am I missing something here?
