A7V8X Deluxe vs A7N8X Deluxe
Got rid of my A7V8X single channel board and 512mb stick of PC3200 Mushkin level II.
I tried the Radeon 9800 (Bios flashed to 9800 Pro) out in the A7V8X first to get a direct comparison to the A7N8X Deluxe.
The hardware;
MB: Asus A7N8X Deluxe v2.00.
CPU: Barton 2500+ @ 3200+.
HS/F: Retail AMD.
RAM: 2x256mb Mushkin level II PC3500.
VC: Radeon 9800 flashed to 9800 Pro Bios.
SATA HD's: 2xWD Raptors in RAID 0.
ATA HD: WD800JB.
CDRW: LiteOn 48x24x48 Bios flashed to 52x24x52.
Case/PSU: Antec/Antec True Power 430W.
Mouse: Logitech Mx 700.
Monitor: Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930sb.
OS: W2K Pro.
A7V8X Deluxe with 2500+ (1833 clock).
3dmark 2001se = 14540.
3dmark 2003 = 5344.
A7N8X Deluxe with 2500+ (1833 clock).
3dmark 2001se = 16202
3dmark 2003 = 5506
A7N8X Deluxe with 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ (2200 clock).
3dmark 2001se = 18244
3dmark 2003 = 5690
The numbers are from the "default" benches and the ATI 3.7 drivers are also at the "default" installation settings.
Now I need a good socket A three prong clip on cooler, to replace my slk800U that I sold to a P4 friend when I gutted my tower. Maybe something for the video card for OCing, the north bridge seems pretty warm and then some other tweaking too...
Suggestions?
