Hi guys well all my stuff came 4:30 yesterday , being my first ground up build took me 11 hours to get everything running and installed in the case. I had tons of problems but figured them out eventually. The Evga 8800 GTS Superclocked with my Athlon 64 3700 is smoking fast I love it. Ran Most Wanted 1600x1200 Max Sliders and never dropped below 40 and ran mostly near 60. I am thrilled with my new gear , goodbye 6 years of HP crap and I couldn't be happier. 8800 GTS idles in my Aerocool 3T at 132F haven't been able to log gaming temps yet.
 
Those GTS's are sweet eh? Get RivaTuner, it will go faster still!
 
I really hate to part with my cash and rarely ever spend it on computer upgrades, but I just squandered my money on a new evga 8800GTX and almost passed out as I clicked submit order :D I don't know how you guys can spend so much money.

It's a rule of physics (and money management):

Easy-Money-In == Easy-Money-Out

uh oh, ~40-60 fps at 1600x1200 with 8800gts superclocked?

I hope my 7950gt ko can handle fear at 1680x1050 with the eye candy on... =/ I don't wanna use my steupup so soon///
 
I had Fear maxed out 1600x1200 4 x aa 16 af soft shadows on and maximum settings across the board and I was nailing 40-60 it was the most awesome experience and it looked absolutely drop dead gorgeous.
 
I also received my parts the other day, could NOT be happier! totally blows my old 7900GT KO out of the water, hands down, First card ive had that runs everything max settings on anything at 1680 x 1040
 
I say enjoy it when you're young. When you retire at 60-70 will you still be able to play video games?
:D

Are you joking? That will be when I can begin my gaming nirvana until I die. Social security will more then pay for yearly upgrades. :D

That is, provided it's still around.

By the time you can collect SS (I'm assuming you're less than 30 years old), there won't be much left for you.

EDIT: nevermind, didn't read your second line :p
 
Is it just me, or am I the only one that finds FEAR a bit unimpressive in the graphics dept.? Sure, it has some nice shadows and what not, but really, it isn't all that and a bag of candy....I think CoD2 and Far Cry maxed out look better....but that's my opinion, and like assholes....:D

I agree, close up details are just fuzzballs on control panels and computers, keyboards all look like crap.
