Ah yes. You'll need a much better GPU if you want to play the latest games on your PC without problems. The best bang for your buck right now would be GTX460. Recommended.Corpse XxX said:

Same Card, but with twice the memory.
Also comes bundled with H.A.W.X. 2.

Its been ordered now, but redused the size of the monitor to 21 inches because it was 20% off so was much cheaper..dohteM said:Gratz. Good buy.Corpse XxX said:Yes, i had already made up my mind in buying that exact card, its on sale now as well.. Also buying a new 24 inch fullHD monitor along with it

So a 21" fullHD monitor BenQ and Megabyte Geforce GTX 460 ran me about 325 dollars, shipping to the door included
Exited!
You guys are all cheating by turning off the AA!! What use is that?
Surely it'd be better to know what you can do in a real-world situation..........unless you all like jaggies at 200fps!

You sound upset that I've pointed out the error in the high-number cock-waving contest!dohteM said:
There's no point in me running a Crysis benchmark as it's of absolutely no interest to me. But when I do game, I like to have at least some form of AA running. To do a test with AA turned off does no good whatsoever, it's just a bragging thing because the massive numbers make people feel better about the huge amounts of cash they've spent on their rigs.
Well you've just been upgraded to dickhead, and a presumptuous dickhead at that. Actually I don't recall mentioning anything about "high-number cock-waving contest". People have posted their results and I've been more than happy to compare their results with mine. So either you've got the wrong address or that you're projecting so hard you can point your self at a wall and show off powerpoint presentations.Private Custard said:
As I mentioned I own a 130 dollar GTX 260 so saying that I'd " feel better about the huge amounts of cash they've spent on their rigs " is more out of place than going to Sudan in a suit made entierly out of food. And since "There's no point in me running a Crysis benchmark as it's of absolutely no interest to me" I don't understand why you had to come back here and post while i clearly stated in my first post that the only benchmark that you shouldn't use AA in is crysis since it cripples your framerate.
By "cripples", I take it you meant "I built a rig that can't handle it"?dohteM said:
Seriously, running tests without AA is a totally pointless excercise as you'll only be disappointed when you start up a game and it's totally gimped compared to the benchmark results. You'll be saying to yourself (if you're stupid) "but I don't get it, my benchmark said I had 2295fps, why am I only getting 12fps here?"
In the photography world, controlled test shots can be referred to as 'pixel-peeping', looking way too hard at something without taking into account the real-world useability.
You can upgrade me to dickhead if it makes you feel better. The last time I cared what a nobody on the web thought of me was around 2001!
