    Metro 2033 GTX295 Quad SLI

    Hi: I ran a few Metro2033 benchmarks (all High, Physx On, All AA high) 1920x1080 full screen. I am running latest drivers from Nvidia. CPU QX9650 @ stock 3ghz. 780i xfx mobo. Memory stock 800Mhz. I am getting only 25 fps in the frontline benchmark. I have dedicated one of the GTX 295 for...

    Q9550 3.4ghz

    My MB is xfx 780i. I am running now at 1600 fsb and memory at 400 (1:1). The MB is rated for 1333 fsb and I am afraid that I am already at or near the safe limits. I could try 1800 fsb but I fear that would be pushing it too far. I would be comfortable doing a 1800 with a 790i but those are hard...

    Q9550 3.4ghz

    Folks: Does a Q9550 @ 3.4ghz good enough for a GTX295 quad-sli setup? I mean in terms of a CPU bottleneck? Or should I go even further with the CPU OC? Mainly used to play Crysis and Metro 2033. Thanks.

    8800GTS 512 SLI vs GTX 285 SLI

    Thanks folks. That's what I thought - to get 2 GTX 460s but I heard that the latest drivers (233.x) are terrible for the GTX 4 and 5 series in SLI. I guess NVidia still needs to iron out some driver issues. That is why I am thinking I should go with GTX285s since the drivers are stable for these...

    8800GTS 512 SLI vs GTX 285 SLI

    Hi: Sorry. I typically play Crysis. I used to play at 1280x1024 resolution but want to play at 1920x1080 resolution now. Also, I want to play Metro 2033 as well. BTW, my CPU is a Q6600 overclocked to 3.6 ghz. Thanks.

    8800GTS 512 SLI vs GTX 285 SLI

    Hi: I currently am running a 8800 GTS 512 SLI. Would it make sense to upgrade to GTX 285 SLI (or 3-way SLI). I have an option of getting some GTX 285 1GBs for cheap. MB: XFX 780i. Also, what is a good power supply if I decide to go GTX 285 3-way SLI? Thanks.

    Rampage Forumla III woes :(

    Hi: I recently bought a Asus Ramapge III formula. Booted up with single GTX460 in the first slot (closest to CPU) and everything was fine. Installed WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Shutdown and added 2nd GTX 460 (in the 3rd slot farthest from CPU) and SLI bridge. Rebooted and tried to setup SLI...

    Coolermaster V6GT

    Hi: I had a quick q: Contemplating between Asus RE3 and EVGA E770. Would my existing Coolermaster V6 GT cooler be able to clear the heat sinks in both mobos? Anyone tried a similiar such combination. Thanks.

    WD1001FALS for RAID

    Hmmm... thanks but isn't WD's reliability (esp for WD1001FALS) better than Hitachis' in general? Thoughts?

    WD1001FALS for RAID

    Hi: I am planning to buy WD1001FALS drives (1TBs) for RAID on my system? Do they play well with ICH10R? Do they need TLER fixes? Thx

    8800GTS 512 vs GT 430 for Physx

    Hi: Quick Q: Which is better for Physx: 8800GTS 512 or GT 430? I have a spare 8800GTS and just got a GT 430 from a friend for free... :D 8800GTS 512 needs a 8-pin connector whereas the GT 430 does not use any connectors. I am tempted to go with GT 430 but wanted to know which is better...

    Looking to buy an EVGA 790i Ultra board

    Yeah I know they run kinda hot but which SLI board runs cool :( Anyways, after several days of serious hunting, I gave up and decided it is better value for money spent to move to X58... So, X58 here I come... :cool:
