finished build last night. couldn't help myself.


went well. right into BIOS. everything checks out. I must've done alright. runs pretty cool, decently quiet.


i still got to install OS tonight and other OS tools on SSD. I sure hope so.



i'm still curious as to if my OME copy of WIndows Ultimate will install on this box.

grats buddy

i finally got a chance to play Bioshock Inf and was blown the frick away by the graphics

and my rig is on the low end compared to most, here.

I just wandered around the introductory areas for about 60 minutes just looking at everything in amazement.

I speak in hyperbole often for shock value and my own personal entertainment. With that being said, playing BioShock on Ultra was a life changing experience last night

Witcher 2 and Metro 2033 are both MUCH better for this, Infinate isn't that taxing.

Not at all.. My titans run around 55% power with everything up @1440.

My 7950 I need to test but assume it will destroy it. This game also has great launch drivers though.

You should be ok I ran ultra at 1080 with no issues on my 7950, my nephew ran ultra at 1080 on a much lesser card no issues. Is the jump from 1080 to 1040 really that taxing?

Yes 1080 to 1440 is very taxing 1.5million more pixels so 30% more rendering.

gotta remember, i played on Xbox until last year and rarely purchase new games on my PC. mainly just old titles from steam for dirt cheap... a few triple A titles like d3 and gw2 here and there.


so yeah.. BI blew my fricking mind I am a simple man, i can no longer dedicate as much time to video games as the younger version of me did. So my maiden voyage into Columbia was awe inspiring.

I totally understand about not being able to play anymore. I spend tons of money to game but never have time to do so.

Sucks getting old, RL jobs..

Same here though, the place has so much to see. I am really enjoying this title.

Yeah, I'm pleased with Bioshock's launch. Runs as it should. I'm getting just under 60fps at 1440p, everything maxed, and my 7970 just running stock.

If I max everything out in Crysis 3, I get about 15fps

I run on ultra playing BI with my 7870 ghz edition. I get about 60 fps. Problem is the game tears a lot if I don't enable vsync. When I enable vsync I get too much stuttering during certain parts when it drops below 60. master race problems...

I know we have discussed the 670 mini before but ASUS plans on releasing this week. This is an awesome card for real steam box gaming.
