Great pics Lee. Not much in the way of boobies though - were you being civilised and on your best behaviour? ;) I see you got a cracking picture of the Poison Dwarf in there as well. Jesus. He's got a face like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle. D.

Sounds like a bit of a pig for the programmer, I would imagine? Adding more polygon count to an object is one thing, but I guess you have to keep true to the original 'shape'? Can graphics cards take that big increase in polygons easily in their stride these days? Or is that purely down to the...

Parked deep into the Door Ding Zone. Non-standard alloys too. Don't they give you a public flogging for doing that to a Cup? ;) D.

Definitely looks better with tesselation! Strangely I can select it on the first main menu, but it doesn't actually get added in the benchmark? :S D.

Just ran it on mine - two 4890's in Crossfire on standard clocks... No idea what Tessellation is, but it was greyed-out on mine. D.

Ah - you were clearly posh. I had to make do with a SoundBlaster 16ASP! ;) D.

Lol - I had one of those too. I'm sure it was a full-length card that as well. Had acres of green circuit board for apparently not much circuitry! It was a massive card - I'm pretty sure Clio V6's could do a 3-point turn on there with room to spare! ;) D.

Was this an '04 plate, m8? After-market exhaust on it too? See it loads - I think the owner must work at The Village in Bury as it's quite often parked up there when I go swimming. D.

I just never get rid of CDs/DVDs - too much shelf space, I guess! The card itself went years ago, so feck knows why I still have them! D.

Lol - look what I found. Bring back any memories, Sharky?! ;) D.

Lol! The Orchid Righteous 3D! I paid £245 for mine from PC World Manchester (yes, naive in those days!). I'm sure I still have the original driver CDs for that at home. I also got a Matrox Mystique as well and paid for the 2MB daughterboard for it. Iirc, that was around £65 for the memory...

If this was the Middle Ages, I'd have you burnt at the stake for such blasphemy!!!! (even if you maybe right....) :) I had a twin 7900GTX setup back in 2006/2007 and it worked ok in XP, but Vista x64 hated it with a passion when I tried it on there. As mentioned on here, a lot depends on...

Lol - I know so little! We have so much to learn, Master Yoda! :cool: D.

Leave your digital bookends under the TVs and come jump in and join us. The water's lovely....:cool: D.

Haha! I remember it well. :) D.

Very impressive m8 - nigh on 50% hike in score over the default 5870. :) I'm a little dismissive of DX11 though. Just how many developers took up the reins for DX10? Hardly any on the grand scheme of things. Sharky's input would be good here. Are there any performance benefits of DX10 & DX11...

Lol - good point! Isn't Flight Simulator X still another benchmark of how to cripple your system as well? D.

Have you seen the pixel fill rate between the two cards above? Lol - the 480GTX is easily two-and-a-half times better. First card shown in stats (for me) that goes above the 256-bit memory bus. Clearly has in-built Physx support as well, eh Sharky! ;) D.

No worries m8 - I understand! :) To give you a comparison of how much of a step-up it is over the ATi 4890..... D.

Nice one Griff! How much did that set you back, if you don't mind me asking? D.

You're missing out there, Gareth. Keep an eye out for it on Steam. I picked it up the other week for less than £7 and that had both expansion packs and all the extra DLCs for it. Proper bargain. :approve: I didn't 'get' Dragon Age at all. I thought it would be great from all the positive...

You definitely have a point there. Chipping away at Oblivion again and there's a side to it that's completely missing from Fallout 3. I feel a lot more character involvement with Oblivion that I did with Fallout 3, where I was simply striving for Level 20 and then 30 when the update came out...

Great little stretch of road that! I take it you kept ahead? ;) D.

Out on Steam now to download for PC. I guess the console ones should be out too? D.

No doubt they will still rank the following levels of evil.... Naughty Bad Cruel Evil Satanic Sadistic Destroyer of Worlds Cookie D.

Still got two to finish off first, for me! D.

....doing the taxi run by the looks of it. ;) D.

Now you tell me! :rasp: D.

Same here...... for now. :) D.

If I were you, I would double-check, just in case. You might have forgot that you had some spare! :cool: Quite surprised at the price of the ATi 4890's on Fleabay - they are barely making £100. Unless I hammer mine with very high eye candy settings, it copes with most things at 60fps running at...
