Can you max it?

[Peter.Cort]

Playing Crysis on my 30" monitor maxed out, all very high. never drops below 60FPS.

That explains the video cards, but it doesn't explain the two i7's and the 64gb of ram. I know all that ram is definitely being wasted if it is just for Crysis, and I do believe Crysis isn't that cpu dependent that it would need 2 i7s.

I do a lot of video editing and 3d rendering which the i7's and ram are good for. On top of that it runs a database server, sql server, outlook server, web server and backup server. So all the power is put to good use.

So on those little meters you can get on vista on your desktop, it shows a high percentage of cpu and ram usage?

 

[Peter.Cort]

Depending on what I'm doing it's anywhere from >10% to 55% If I'm doing a lot of server side work it'll be higher.

Yeah I can max Warcraft 3, np.

I hate crysis. I wish it had never been. Its basically the complete epitome of mediocrity and the only reason its still talked about is because its the pop music of benchmarking.

I liked the game... I didn't follow the hype of it though, either, and I like sci-fi type shooters.

 

[HAVOC]

I've got a skulltrail board with 2 i7's, and it's got 4 pci-e slots so i've got 4 4870x2's, 3 30" Mac Cinema Displays, 64gb of ddr2 ram, 5 256gb ssd's in raid 5, and 2 1.5kw psu's.

Post a few pictures. Also include your name in the pictures, hand written "Peter.Cort @ TF".
