I've got 2 6800 GTs that I run with an Athlon 64 3700+ ClawHammer S754 and an Athlon 64 3400+ Venice S754. Both CPUs run at 2400MHz; the only difference is the L2 cache. The 3700+ has 1MB while the 3400+ has 512KB. The difference in performance between these two processors is negligible. I've always felt that the 6800 GT was a good match for these CPUs.
However, I've recently been doing some thinking about some of my Win98SE builds, and I'm starting to think that the GPUs that I've chosen for these systems are not well matched. They are:
FX 5950 Ultra with Athlon XP 2100+
GF4 Ti4600 with Athlon 1400 Thunderbird
For the FX5950 Ultra and GF4 Ti4600, what do you think are the best CPUs to pair them with, in both Intel and AMD options?
For the Athlon XP 2100+ and Athlon 1400 Thunderbird, what do you think are the best GPUs for them? (NVIDIA only, please).
(Phil recently made a video which is what got me thinking about this.)
Thank you for your thoughts and opinions.
