Asus Maximus 2 + Asus ROG 9800GT SLI?

well, now I'm all giddy lol, now if you could tell me where your finding these $200 gtx 260 216 core editions? Once again thanks dude.

no... only the 192 is 200 dollars but i can also test my 192 at those same exact settings if you'd like

216 is 240.. then some rebates i suppose for it to be 215-220

another question.. dx9 or dx10...

 

[chesirecat1701]

for some reason warhead crashes upon boot in dx10, even after 2 installs, gahh so dx9. Although running just the first crysis I hardly notice any boosts using dx9 vs dx10 so I don't know how much it matters. So you would definitely back your gtx 260 216 SLI set up against a 4870 x2 or a 4870 xfire set up?

crysis likes nvidia better.. it is an nvidia optimised game

and the testing i showed you was with dx10... so you'd get even more fps out of dx9

well I hope you don't seriously think I'll be running those settings with something like a gtx 260 I'm saddened that most of the 9800 series were just toss ups trying to throw something under ATI's tires while nVidia countered the new 4XXX series :|

i'll try out all enthusiast for you later on tonite dx9 (i'm on xp agian.. lol) with your resolution (its weird 1440x900 shows up in xp?)

 

[chesirecat1701]

you don't have to bother with it unless you want too, and i don't know why that's be, are you using a 16:10 monitor or a 16:9 tv? sometimes widescreen tv's won't show 1440*900.

With that said, I'm using using that resolution b/c neither my 9800 gt nor my AMD 5000 BE can handle 1680*1050 without turning details down and lower than mainstream (medium) is horrible :\

 

[NosBoost300]

awesome.. i can just do 1680x1050 then... lol

 

[chesirecat1701]

on a side note, when can I get to use a custom avatar and put down a sig? lol
