My computer is about a 7.2, due to a lack of a SSD, but games do fine without it.

Lol yes I probably looked at both ranges and got confused ... it was the 5970! I am getting old ... wheres my teeth gone? **wobbles whilst looking for slippers**

That ares looks rather nice too. I wonder how long it would be before you had to upgrade though? Would all that throbbing power keep you in games for a few years, or will the base architecture get superceded too quickly for it to be worth having to sell your mother for?
Well it can easily max out any game with even 3 monitors right now. Games generally aren't getting all that more demanding anymore, Crysis is still one of the most demanding and only Metro 2033 compares. I think with that GPU in an i5 750 or i7 950 rig you wouldn't need to put a penny into it for at least 5 years and still play at highest or at least very high settings.

Pretty damn good. I use a 2.8Ghz quad core i7, 6GB ddr3 ram and a 1700Mb geforce gtx480 (sure they run a little loud and warm but TOTALLY worth it!)

My laptop runs most games fairly well. Not top settings but decent.

My desktop, which is my true gaming pc, is a beast. I have yet to find a game it can't run on max settings.

Got a new system just now. It's kinda like this one, only a step down:

I play everyhting maxed out.
STALKER Ultra with 2xAA, Crysis Ultra With 4xAA, Metro 2033 Ultra DX11 only AAA, Call of Pripyat Maxed with 4xAA DX11.

Pretty much everything especially source games.
Left 4 Dead 2 runs at Ultra settings 8xAA at like 100 FPS.

Intel Core i5 750
4 gigs 1333mhz RAM
Gigabyte HD 5770
Ultra fast WD HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate

All of this cost like 700$ with the Motherboard... and its awesome.
I have an i5 650, and a Radeon HD 5670 instead. But i think it's still quite enough. I'm not big on fancy graphics, or the types of games that use it the most, like fps' or third person action games.

pong is a system killer. shudder.

c2d oc to 3.8 ghz, 4 gig ddr2 ram, 8800gt, run anything fine even games that others complain about on other forums, but them i play on a samsung lcd tv which sports lower res than most gaming monitors.

resolution has a ton to do with how a game runs, if you can lower it it helps a ton the problem now days is lcd have a native res and anything non native can scale pretty badly, were for crt you could drop the res to 640x480 or up it to 1200x1080 and the image quality will be mostly uneffected. had to run crysis at 800x600 on my old crt when my pc was a bit less powerful to get it at very high settings.

It can run Crysis on highest settings.
Yes the pricetag read: "One human soul"

well actually I bought loose parts and put them together, but hey you get the idea.

Two years old, cost about £500 at the time of making (~$800 for the yanks). Never played a game that didn't run with everything on max. Or go below 30fps. Heh.

Well I decided to see what graphics card I've been using and as it turns out, I don't have one (0_o) instead I have the "Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family" which according to the sites I've checked isn't even a proper graphics card, just built in display adaptors so I can have a monitor and such installed. As far as what I can and can't run, Diablo 2 is fine, TF2 however, has an FPS of 00.05

it can run Oblivion on high with minor framerate issues if i, say, point-blank someone with a fireball, but as long as there are no ridiculous particle effects going on, it's a straight tank. Core 2 duo, geforce 9500 GT or something, windows 7

AMD Phenom II X6
4gb DDR3
GTX 460
Windows 7 Home Premium x64

I can run Microsoft Flight Sim X on high settings at 1920x1080 and get 45fps over built up areas and 140 over countryside and oceans..........with a shitload of addons running!

And I still feel like overclocking it to make FRAPS run better!
