I paid full price for most of my THQ games. Didn't really want to pay for them a second time around. They'll be getting my money for COH2 in any case.

I haven't played COH yet :/
 
I'll play it later. FC3 first

Paid $7. Quite a few games I passed over or want to play again in there.

Speaking of Far Cry 3, someone posted these benchmarks on another site I visit:
 

 
Looks pretty demanding. Hits just barely over 30FPS maxed out on the best video cards available...

I won't be maxing it out My card is comparable to that GTX460 right there so I guess medium or low settings for me.

Apparently running in DX9 mode improves performance a lot, with a minimal quality hit. Also, updating drivers grants pretty big performance improvements.

I heard that too but I am trying DX11 right now. right now I don't see any problems. I didn't see a medium, high, low or best setting. 

 

[bowei006]

Very stable running DX11 1080p with 5770 on High settings.

Why is my 670 just.. completely missing from that list? :x.

Hey guys, I'd like some help overclocking. I purchased the Thermaltake Water 2.0 about 2 months ago, and a Hyper 212 EVO prior with intents of overclocking, but never got around to it. The CPU is a 3570k, and the Motherboard is a ASUS P8Z68 Pro/GEN3. I run a decent system with a 64 gig intel 330 SSD for boot, 1 TB Barracuda for games + programs, and a 3 TB Barracuda for music, documents, and movies. Graphics card is a GTX480 (Got it for $200 last summer!), the Liteon Ihas424b disk burner, 16 gigs of G.Skill Sniper RAM, a Rosewill WiFi card, a Titanium HD, and it's all packaged in a Red Antec Lanboy Air powered with a 750 Watt Corsair PSU.

There are many guides to intel oc online

But the main parts are to stop and not run other processes while doing it and monitor temp closely. Find a frequency or fsb and then set a higher vcore every time and move up and up. Find a freq you like? Prime 95 it

Ok, Yeah, in the BIOS, there is a thousand setting, never thought to use an on OS software for it, any recommendations?

Sweet Jesus, Hawken is beautiful.



 
It's also easy as hell to run. Running it on Ultra, and get a near-constant 60FPS. Really a shame Fraps doesn't work properly with it. When I take a screenshot there's like a 20 second freeze, so using it on non-tutorial levels is out of the question! (And 'print screen' doesn't work)

 

[bowei006]

That looks godly!

 

[Kukuk]

No kidding, man. If someone were to tell me this was a PS4 or Xbox 3 game I'd be inclined to believe them.
 
Anyone know of a good screenshot utility that isn't Fraps? Don't need anything fancy like benchmarking or video recording.
