I haven't really had a chance to do a full set of benchmarks on my Athlon 64-3800+, but I did throw 3dMark2001 at it (also using a FX5900XT card)

Video card stock - 17219
Overclocked video card (475 core/825 memory) - 18875

Just loving this build 😀 Although, if you feel I'm derailing your thread, let me know and I'll step back 😀

Excellent!

You aren't derailing things at all, feel free to post!

Is that a dual socket motherboard?

What's the model name?

Msi K8T Master2-far7, it can support single 940pin athlon fx or dual 200 series Opteron
The MB is very old, it can only support ECC registered DDR RAM, with very strange Intel socket 423/603 cpu cooler (Amd cpu but use Intel spec cooler)

Wow that is very strange!

The only unusual thing about it is the VIA chipset. Most dual Opteron systems of this era used AMD's workstation/server chipset (it supported PCI-X), then moved to nVidia in the PCIe days.

I don't have a HD screen connected to my retro test area so I can't test quake 3 at HD res quite yet

I'm going to try and squeeze a few more mhz out of the CPU, but during my previous attempts it was unstable above 3.5ghz in prime95.

EDIT - bumped the voltage up a little bit from stock and it's been running prime95 without problems at 3.51ghz.
