    Packard Bell iXtreme i7803

    Well before they've used a lappy. That thing was only eating 30 watts max, so yes it does eat a little more power LOL! I thought it was gonna eat about 300 watts on maximum load gaming. It's kinda what I expected. Not too bad I say, but not very power efficient either ;)

    AGP is not dead yet

    Well I figured I play a little more with my Sapphire 3850 AGP card. I had this Zalman VF700-Alcu cooler rusting there :P and I figured I remove the stock cooler and put that on. I'm amazed how crappy the stock cooler was really.. After replacing the cooling my load temps dropped around 20...

    I've modded my 3850 agp bios

    As an inspiration I got curious and thought "How about reaching overclocking speeds undervolting the VGPU?." Well it turns out this card does 820/1020 with 1.180v vgpu instead of the stock 1.214v vgpu. The result is lower temps and more stable overclock :D

    Yeah point made there! Haha! I sat down with him and told him "Look Crysis 2 is playable with higher graphics thanks to this overclock." He's just go "Whoaa this looks even better. It's sooooo smooooooooooothhh.. SWEEEEEEEEET!!" Like the Clarkson way! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVECU3T4BEI :D

    1,200W

    I hear ya! I might say "POOF" to some point haha! That's a astonishing result there.. This got me thinking.. I wondered if it was the lack of Catalyst support running all these cards together or would that I7 make up for it compared to that AMD setup.. That second guess might be it I reckon.

    Packard Bell iXtreme i7803

    Yeah! I was surprised to see you score that close to him as well. Could it be that using that many GPU's isn't supported that well by the Catalyst drivers? I've read some reviews about the 17 2600 power consumption. I think around 160-170 watts on full load in Turbo mode isn't bad at all for a...

    1,200W

    My.. goodness.. Close to 1200 watts that is quite the lot! That is a beast! I am surprised to see that 1000watt PSU cope so well with that kind of punishment really..

    Packard Bell iXtreme i7803

    Ofcourse I had to do some tuning on this ATI 6850. Raised the vgpu a little and ran FM03 again. After that I've tested Crysis 2. I'm able to play that at 1920x1080 with extreme settings and DX11 activated. The gaming experience the 24 inch display is quite something. I'm not used to that kindof...

    I've been benching some more and got the following high score with my videocard. This was at 820/1200 clocks.. I've decited to drop a few Mhz on the core and max out the ram totally. On the cpu / ram side I was running about the same settings. Here's the score and here's 34K FM03 :D...

    Got myself a nice sub for my car.

    That thing is huge! Can't run it for too long with the engine of I suppose, it might flat the battery? Anyway: on a funny note.. I remembered this video. This might be the sort of noise levels you are getting haha! That's a decent sound system! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpKLWoN6GO0
