DJSean Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hi Nyxx, I don't think many have the 980X as of yet so there isn't a lot of comparisons (I could be wrong). From what I've read over at Avsim FSX may not utilise the extra 2 cores over the 930 so in that case 4 cores at a higher clock speed may prove to have have a better result? It would be great if someone had with a 920 or 930 at 4GHz then has gone to the 980X and posts their results! Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Better and cheaper is a 920 @ 4.2 , unless they are no longer available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 920's are certainly still available in Brisbane. 920 price= 250 dollars 980x price= 1600 dollars That's a 920 plus a NVIDIA 480 for about 1150. Still got 450 left for a good few drinks down the boozer! Pretty simple unless you are looking for a tax write off. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 A 4.0 GHz 930 will be faster than a stock 980 (and will clock higher than 4.0 GHz with proper cooling), no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxx Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Well the problem for me is my case/PSU/2xDVD,RAID 0 + another drive W7 are all perfect and I do not want to re-buy them. There is no one close to me that will overcloak. To buy a 980x/mobo/ram and 480 is in my buget, but no overclock. These people are perfect for buying a overclock PC http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ but I have to buy new everything as they will not upgrade my PC and I've never built a PC myself and I dont think I will start. The cost saving on a overclock 930(stoped doing 920)is masive and does help if buying new case etc, but its like bining a new car becasue i want a new gearbox This is the bare bones I am looking at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-231-OK&groupid=43&catid=110&subcat= If i could build myself i would go for this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-016-OBor not...this is sooo much cheaper http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-044-OE I blame YBBN or my E8500or PMDG for there 737 to come But from your replys it looks like the 930@4GHZ is the way to go and thats good news, thanks guys. I trust and value the opions of the people on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
