ermm synthetic benches :3

 

The only real benches i know are the ones on anadatech bench,

maybe ill run my own at some point, but I don't have a 270x (my 7870 ghz edition was sent back :()

 

anyway I've kind of derailed the thread at this point and never answered ops question :/

 

yes op it is a good pc for a spare part job :)

 

unless of course you also have gtx980s and 5960xs lying under your bed :)

If you already have the parts, then it's decent. 

 

A 6950 is....like a 260x (performance-wise -- i think)

If you already have the parts then yeah it's pretty good.

Very good indeed


Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Yeah, if these are just spare parts, it'll definitely hold up its own on a lot of games. Of course, not all. And not without its kinks.

 

Build it~

A 6950 is....like a 260x (performance-wise -- i think) 

270x from my experience, and if you can overclock it and unlock it to a 6970 then it's above 270x but not 280... maybe 760 ish?

Those 6970 tests are probably on a much older driver version though as they don't re-run their test suite.

 

Although it's probably a 270, 270x is a bit generous considering it has a 200mhz clock advantage on 270.

obviously synthetic but can't really find any current benchmarks without running my own

I know. And a overclocked 6970 performs like a 7870GHz edition/270X :)

love that 45 nanometer sexyness. <3 

 

 

because it would run hot AF unless it has a decent cooler on it. :/

my 6950 (unlocked to 6970) is on the stock cooler and overclocking it was the difference between 73c and 76c :/
