Most all of you guys have fraps- why not do a test for your self. Set fraps movies for 30fps full size and set your start stop vid key to the [end] key on your number pad- just the one key and not combo seems to work best for me- I set my screen key for [* ] on the number pad- seems few games use those keys.

Pick maybe 2 games you think use lots of resources and record your play for 30 seconds or up to say 5 minutes and see if you get lag- if not you know you are good- if so you know you need to tweak something- either lower your game vid settings or your system performance needs tweaks maybe back ground stuff shut off etc etc.

Not hard to test and is like benching if not a better test making actual videos. You do not have to view the videos after- you are more trying to see how your system acts when you turn on and start recording. You can covert the videos to more small size and upload them if you care to- I can tell ya how if you want- but is not the point. I have no performance probs for the most part until I turn on the recorder- that is when I need every lil bit I can get

Hmm- me going to fire up stalker and test performance while recording after changing my power scheme and my cpu is running at 3.2 constantly.

Right-On Erik!!, that's SO cool!! Easy, no to EASY!! Glad to hear your starting to get into OC'ing

Today's Motherboards are BEGGING to be TWEAKED, IMO!! Add voltage as you go to keep her stable, sure you know all

that, sure you've read a GANG of material on it. A nice balance of tight timings (if you able to keep them) etc., and FLAT

out raw SPEED!!

Again glad to hear your OCing, it's addictive that's for sure!! Best of luck with it, be patient and you'll not have problems.

Now OC that vid card!! Remember CPU's and GPU's will shut down before they BURN up!! Really!!

Not sure much a change in gaming I think it auto kicks into turbo when in game mode any way. Least the performance is not up and down and energy savings is said lil if any running that crap. When I do go to oc I have to turn that stuff off any way.

When ready I need to learn how to save my stock running now cmos and oc profile cmos or bios settings what ever you can it. I might just start oc using the oc genie see if it runs then maybe tweak it a lil more if needed- it can bump voltages a lil high say some folks- need to know the limits etc. I really do not care until I get a better vid card- more cpu might help now tho
