Damn you people with SLi!!! My views towards SLi is changing and I dont want to move to it yet.. Must resist! To much work to move to SLi right now :(

[speed freak]

HL2 4x aa 8x anistropic 1280x1024 max detail running at a smooth 200 FPS... does dip to 100 on the real intensive parts, but meh :p

NFSU 2 1280x1024 4x 8x max detail again, looks stellar, I'll get some shots up :p

still need to work on the 05 score though, sitting at 9500 (roughly)

Crank up the resolution and AA :D

[speed freak]

my max res. is 1280 x 1024 on my monitor, at least until I get a different one ;)

but I'll play with the AA and AF a bit :cool:

[rabidmoose171]

lord knows you have enough money to get a 2405... get that badboy and see if you can bring your fps below 100.

[speed freak]

this one looks tempting too: http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/proseries/vp231wb/

I've just got to really think this one through :)

[DaLazahBeam]
