Hello!
I just finished building my PC as follows:
Asus 4870 DK 1GB (stock: 750MHz GPU, 900 MHz VRAM) (stock cooling temp- idle: 41 celcius, load: 50-55 celcius)
WD Caviar Black 500GB
2GB G.Skill DDR2 1066 RAM (Running at 1.1GHz)
Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz (Running at 2.40GHz)
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L
Rosewill 530W PSU
Windows XP 32-bit (the reason I haven't bought 4GB ram)
My 3D mark score doesn't seem to be particularly impressive when comparing it to other's with the 4870 gpu.
3D Marks - 13046
Shader 3.0 - 5038
Shader 2.0 - 6027
CPU - 3949
Any idea if there's a bottleneck or something? Btw, in practical terms Crysis is getting some annoying FPS drops; this shouldn't be due to the 2gb ram...
