Mine's in my sig. It still runs Rainbow Six Vegas at 1280 * 780, but that seems to be the limit. Source engine highest specs incl. all AA/AS, HDR effects, lowest was 40 fps, usually hovering around 60 fps. I mostly play BF 2142 and Q4 anyway, both of which runs superbly on my UXGA 1900*1200 screen.



Your 7900 is a very good graphics card. Have you tried overclocking it (mod. drivers/inf, rivatuner)?

At least I can still play FEAR and HL2 @ 1680x1050 Max at 60fps and Oblivion @ 1440x900 Max with 40+ fps. I just hope it can handle crysis when it releases.

Speakers: Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 speakers (might go with some bookshelf speakers and a receiver later on)
Power Supply: Corsair 520 watt

I think we have a winner except for the razer audio accessories. That rig deserves better!

We need bigger pics! Mountain Mods cases are great. Kind of pricey, but you can't beat them for a good case. Seriously a good setup, only two gigs of RAM though, not 4? Still rather beastly. I've heard the more recent Razer hardware hasn't been as good though. I still like my Diamondback, but I've got a new mouse in the mail since the Diamondback is starting to act up from time to time.

My rig isn't too special, powerful enough for a laptop though.

Core 2 Duo at 2.0GHZ
2 Gigs of ram
GeForce 8600M GT-S with 256MB of ram
160gig SATA hard drive, I forget the maker and RPM.

Not much you can do with a laptop as far as customizing it goes, which is why I don't recall many of the specifics on this one. It has plenty of performance though, it can run Halo 2 and Bioshock at the full detail and highest available resolution without a hitch. Bioshock sometimes is a little buggy, but that's more of the game's fault rather than the computer not being able to handle it.

I see. Do you have a fan control utility? What sort of temperatures are you running? For my graphics with fans on full, I get 60C idle, 80C gaming. No artifacts. Obviously you would have to test it out for yourself because each chip is different, let alone a totally different model! A nice Zalman or Coolermaster notebook cooler might be good to have too. Then again, if you're already satisfied with the performance, it would seem unnecessary to put further stress on your rig even if it could take it.

I put the main parts of my machine together in 2003 and it was pretty darn nippy then.

Athlon XP 2800+
Abit AN7
1.5 Gigs of PC3200@2700 (512 meg originally)
Raptor 74 gig
Maxtor 80gig (2 storage drives of about 500gigs together added since)
Geforce FX5200 PCI (Previously Geforce 4 Ti4200)
Audigy 2 ZS (Previously Live! 1024)
Winfast PVR2000
Hercules Prophetview 920Pro DVI & 920Pro VGA

I don't really game anymore. Quiet running volumes > power these days.



the dell system was 2003 mate i have the invoice, of course the peripherals did, as how can one resist always getting bitso-kitso
