That's 1920 x 1200, at ultra with all the goodies turned on (option 2 I think it is, not just Ultra, its got some added thing to ultra DFOF or something? whatever LOL)
I have a i975X processor (goodie but oldie), AMD Asus 7970 TOP card, 12GB 1333mhz ram and an SSD (running at Sata II). Nothing is over clocked or had anything done to it.. not sure how to yet lol. I can see in BIOS I have all these settings and stuff but since im not in the mood to replace an parts after buying the card a couple of weeks ago I might leave it for now considering its playing nearly everything at max (not bad for 2009 computer with a card and hard drive upgrade).. although - to be honest - just to chime in a little with what the "old man" was going on about.. Im really not seeing the graphics jump I used to either.. from the first games.. to about Doom 3 - it was an impressive jump. Then from there you had crysis.. After that I don't really think Ive seen anything that warrants a big change that couldn't have been done with some clever programming/developer work, and im running most games at absolute max.
EG With my last card (GTX295), which was again, great when it came out but a 2009 - if not older - video card, and so what of the jump to what I have now (ATI 7970)?
Some games look a bit cooler with the DX11, and frames are higher.. I would really love to have known what all the GTX4XX, GTX5XX and ATI's over the last few years etc truly offered.. It cant have been that much~! if this is where we are now.. but again this is another "old man" talking.
Unless the next cards offer "real" graphics.. don't know if I will upgrade again. I want to be blown away next time - not just "wow - look at Lara Crofts hair (who gives a shit show me her perfect polygons) -
But am really enjoying it for now, and the new card looks beasty.
