Funny how Far Cry still looks better than most newer games.

Fire400's rig is a fraud. He doesn't have what he says he does
I've asked him 10000 times to show us pictures or bencheis he's just a liar.
His older rig supposedly had 2 7800 512 gtx's, then he forgot to update his "coreclock overclock" part when he got "2 7900 GTX"s

I remember he had a thread for a cheap video cards uggestion too, he doesn't even bother denying he's a liar too

why would someone post a thread like this. AND NOT provide screens.
anyway i don;t believe even a 2x7900gtx setup can play the badly coded game that is oblivion at that res with every thing maxed out....except AA ofcource

The game is anything but beatiful graphics wise.
- far cry anyone? 3x better than oblivion
- HalfLife2
- Battlefield 2

Oblivion is a nice game, but far far from beatiful

Dude, get a life!! Seriously, find something better to do than track down someones entire
post history.

Gomce: Oblivion NOT beautiful? I think your GTXs are letting you down...that or you need
some new glasses.

Serious Sam 2

This game is a lot of fun and the gameplay is fast. It's really too choppy at the settings used (everything to the max) for the screen shot though. One watercooled X1900XTX overclocked as high as overdrive will go is not enough for this game. (20-30fps average) A good FPS experience needs 70+ fps IME or it just feels like it's dragging like driving with the handbrake on. Lower the aniso and AA a few clicks and it flies and is very playable.

I have not seen oblivion in person but the screenshots don't look particularly great. Not enough polygons. I mean come on! This is 2006!

I only want to play game's the way they're meant to be played.

I totally agree with you. Also, waiting awhile allows you to buy the games at a reasonable price, say 19.99. I will never pay 50 bucks for a game, that's insane when you can just wait six months and get it for half that. So exercising a little patience yields a win-win scenario- beautiful game with smooth frame rates at a cheap price.

For those of you with the 3007 and use Internet Explorer.... Have you found a way to make the fonts for these forums larger than the large setting on the personal options settings under profile?

Unfortunately that doesn't change the font size of these forums in IE.

From IE click on TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, under the GENERAL sheet click on ACCESSIBLITY and check IGNORE FONT SIZES SPECIFIED ON WEB PAGES. Click OK twice to get out.

This will make them bigger but you should know that some pages will display very strange with this setting engaged. I run 2560x1600 with small fonts and it looks good and sharp to me but everyone's eyes are different.

Thanks. I'll try that out.

Edit: works! Thanks again. . .
