Author Topic: My New Video Card Came In  (Read 3753 times)

Dammit my card comes in like in 40 minutes but it feels so long. I'm going to rape stab somebody if it doesn't hurry. >:U

About 10 more minutes. I'm about to explode from anticipation.

It finally came in yesterday and it's working like a charm. I can pretty much run every game on max settings except Crysis. I can run Crysis on high instead of very high but that's still pretty dam good. Crysis is actually only using 50% of my gpu. It's actually my cpu that's holding me back. Dam you guys for being right. Anyways I won't be upgrading soon but my next upgrade will definately be a quad core processor.

I tried very high on Crysis too and didn't get favorable results.

I'm looking to buying a second GTX460 in my far future when I have more money.

AMD

Twice the performance of Intel.
Half the price.

Oh you kids trying to rape entrepreneur  out your PCs for extremely high graphics. I'm happy to run games on medium settings.

Anyways here's my conclusion from my games that I benchmarked.

HDR Source Games:
Minimum Fps: 40
Average Fps: 120
Maximum Fps: 200

Non-HDR Source Games:
Minimum Fps: 120
Average: 150
Maximum: 250

Crysis:
Unknown - I was too lazy to look up the net_graph command for Crysis but the fps I would guess is at an average of 50-60.

MW2:
Unknown - No dev console but I would guess 60 fps even without v-sync.

Max bricks on blockland?

Max bricks on blockland?

I can already run Blockland max settings even in the advanced section with over 200k bricks without lag so I'm pretty sure my new card wouldn't make much of a difference other than handle more emmiters.

Running many bricks on blockland takes a good processor, and a good amount of RAM.

I have no understanding of video cards at all.

...which is probably one of the biggest reasons I have a mac.

Minimum Fps: 30
