Dateranoth Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Very nice. The RAM is most certainly overkill, but two 460s isn't. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevnvek Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Very awesome. That beast could certainly run anything, and slap a respectable amount of AA on top of it. And yeah, you only ever need maybe 4GB RAM or less for really anything you might normally do with heavy gaming, even my 8 is overkill. I'm thinking of getting a new GPU down the line, my current AMD 6870 has an occasional rattle (usually fixed for a good while by pulling the fan down a little), and I'm always annoyed at the exclusivity BS of games having all these fancy features only on NVidia cards. I'll be working, so I might save up and get just one really good card like a 5 or 680. More than 1GB of VRAM would be nice too. One awesome card may be better than two good ones, simply because not every game works that great in SLI/Crossfire, and to make things easy. The majority of the fixes I see in my driver updates are Crossfire performance fixes for games.Possibly the processor down the line too if it improves stream quality and maybe fixes the weird physics jitter when character models go up and down stairs/inclines. Still don't think I'd get a Black Magic capture card, I just don't play enough console games for that to be worth it, even if I play a really cool one once in a while.

Dateranoth Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 You know, it's crazy, but I haven't updated anything on my computer except my video card in three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Done any benchmarks on them yet? If you have batman AC run the in game benchmark and I can show you results from my 480gtx. Should blow it away with two 460s. . I ran it at 1680x1050 (so you'll have to knock your resolution down a bit) max settings. Physx normal and AA 8x MSAA. I actually ran a bunch of different AA settings, but that's a good baseline. Vsync off of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
