i'm OC'ing my Twin Frozr 460, this time going after the memory clocks. using afterburner. How long do i run Kombuster before deciding i can up the clocks and test again?

also, is 8x MSAA fine or should i put it at the highest 32CSAA?

core clock>memory
crysis2 and bf3 will make sure its stable
better then any synthetic bench

fack

i ordered Batman A.C. instead of crysis 2 or bf3, fack.


should i just leave memory at stocks? would it help the core go further?

just go high as possible on core
then start movin mem up
until its non stable

You are nuts. Crysis 1 is more demanding on benchmarks than Crysis 2. Just look up the benchmarks! LOL All video cards run lower FPS on Cry 1 then they do on Cry 2 by about 20-30 fps.

Batman is a good test but not the best: http://downloads.guru3d.com/Crysis-Benchmark-Tool-1.05-Final-download-1791.html

The is the Crysis 1 Benchmark tool. Think of running the game maxed out on the most intensive parts of the game 100%. It will either melt your computer or slow it down a whole damn lot.

Edit: Metro 2033 is also a very demanding game. I think Crysis and Metro are the two best to test your hardware.

crysis 1 as far as stability?
idk, doesn't crysis 2 have more tesselation and shizzle.

lol No. Crytek said Crysis 2 would be way better than Cry 1 but in all honesty, Cry 2 was too Hollywood shooter while Cry 1 was all about realism.

Here are some ideas on how a 690 handles these games. All these we will compare a 690 for a benchmark test.

http://www.guru3d.com/imageview.php?image=39945 Crysis 2 - 93 FPS
http://www.guru3d.com/imageview.php?image=39951 Battlefield 3 - 99 FPS
http://www.guru3d.com/imageview.php?image=39944 Metro 2033 - 67 FPS


As you can tell Metro 2033 is much more demanding that either BF3 or Cry 2 and Cry 1 is far more demanding as I will post next. Mind you this is a 690 (Dual 680 GPU setup) so even a 690 maxes the game but barley on Metro. A 460 might be able to play on the lowest settings at a low resolution. Nvidia cards are > at lower resolutions while ATI > at higher resolutions.

im gonna have to do 2x or 4x AA, i KNOW i cant run the game without lag on 8x



err i need a new cpu, such a bottleneck.

never played metro 2033, but crysis i have always been able to keep maxed ( very high ) settings and either 4x AA, or 2x on multi player.



btw, dont see a benchmark option, i gotta download a tool?
edit: sorry, didn't see you said tool, was looking on phone.
