Yep, but it's games that use the Unreal 3 engine that I do see a marked improvement in FR. UT3 used to max out at 170-180fps, now I'm seeing numbers clear of 200fps. Bioshock show a nice improvement too -Quote:

Very nice! :cool:
On a different note though, I meant to ask you what case you are using. I am looking into getting a new one and I like the interior layout of yours.
EDIT: NVM, I'm stupid and just now saw it in your sig.
I would like to know where the heck one could get that sucker though. Can't find it for sale anywhere. :eek:
I dunno, I kinda recall someone mentioning that resellers of this brand of chassis are rare, and it's not gonna be cheap IF you can find one. I, myself, bought mine off a guy who'd had to have it imported from Japan.Quote:

well guys i can't remember how to get it stable at 2.8 anymore
EDIT: got it 3119 MHz
and mikey my cpu cooling is the CM GeminII wih 2 120's on it
Well, since this thread has become somewhat stagnant, it behooves me to start sumthin' up.....here're a coupla pics of my desk area (going so OT here :o)

Nice setup.
Once I get my new mobo in and I have my Accelero Extreme 8800 in at the end of this month I'll post some pictures. I will also work on a mod for my 900 so I can use fan filters. That case has awesome airflow, but dang it sucks in some debris. :eek:
Bah, got bored and decided to tweak my rig a little, move FSB up by 4mhz (4x9=36mhz) and pushed my gfx RAM up by 25mhz (50mhz effective), gotta tweak it a little more to take first place. I'm sure that with a good OC on my CPU (3.4-3.6ghz), I'd prolly see 19k-20k, but I ain't willing to push it that far yet.:o Ah geez, my Q6600 @3ghz is bottlenecking my score badly)

Hmmm.....I'm gonna ask Un4 whether we can create a new stickied thread where we can post pics of our gaming station. What do you guys think of this idea?
Edit - BTW stang, that KB looks so sweet and familiar! Only :cool: gamers get it!;) I thought I was the messiest guy here, so glad you've come along and 'dethrone' me....:D
and you didn't see all the open hardware boxes behind the chair
HAHA,
I have hardware boxes all over the place too, heh.
Hey stang, did you notice any improvement in temp when you switched the intake fan position? I was thinking of doing the same thing with mine.
as in switching the fans to my HSF?
i noticed about 10 CFM more airflow until i broke a fan blade on my side fan then i experienced 80 CFM less lol
I ran '06 again, this time with a little more OC on my CPU and raise the mem on the vid card -

Joint 1st spot with OS, now, IF only I can OC my CPU to 3.6ghz, that'd be awesome.....should be kicking down 20k with that.
Just ordered my 2 EVGA 8800GTSs and my EVGA 780i will be here tomorrow or Thursday. :D
Can't wait to post some numbers. :D :D :D
I'm happy. :p :)
Blah.
I just tried 3DMark06 on my rig, and got around 4800.
Me thinks my video card might be holding me back. :(
