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...

Well, I bought the kit! Being pig-headed and more than a little stubborn, I went down the i7 route. Ordered pretty much what I said in the original post, an Asus Rampage III Extreme mobo, and an i7 930 - but went for a OCZ 6GB memory kit (3x 2GB) of DDR3 2000Mhz sticks. I tend to stick with...

Re: 3 today - 2x Ashton-under-Lyne, 1x Duckinfield LOL - typos a-hoy! Typing it as you say it - FTL! ;) I wasn't in my car thankfully - looks like a Door-Ding-Central there. D.

Cool. Nice, easy fix! :) D.

About 43 for me, but my m8 has scored 72 on my iPhone. Git. ;) D.

Two silver 172s pretty much within seconds of each other, heading up Cavendish Street, opposite Asda. Then a Monaco 172 at Morrisons in Dukinfield. Probably around 11-11.30 this morning... D.

Grrr. Still can't decide! :) D.

That's what I thought. The 655k is only dual core. :( D.

Is it worth dropping to dual-core from quad-core? D.

WTF?! Surely you could get a LOT more flogging that on Fleabay? :cool: D.

You've definitely got me thinking m8. Just looking at a saving of around £130 going down the i5 route with the following... Asus Maximus III mobo i5 655k G-Skill PC3-16000 4GB kit. In the real world, am I likely to see much difference in performance? Probably not, I would have thought? D.
