OK, It's a top notch rig but as always I've got couple of questions:

 

1) Take a screenshot of your LOFC graphics setup and post it here,

 

2) Start LO and turn your FPS counter on (Ctrl+BkSpc) and start Su-25T quick mission from main interface.

 

3) Turn Autopilot on and take screenshots of your plane in F2 view (do not move angles and don't change distance / zoom) at T+10sec, T+20sec,T+30sec and T+60sec

 

4) Once you do that post all screenshots here in this thread,

 

5) Then I'd be able to tell you was it worth the money!

[Vekkinho]

Reason me being so picky is my interest in similar rig and it's results with LOFC 1.12a!

[Raised_Dead85]

Ill do that once i build it and install LOFC 1.12b! Ill be home around the 21st of september. Right now im stuck on base with no car :( :(

 

Oh BTW i forgot the important thing the PSU.... i got the 1200w Thermaltake ATX.

[Vekkinho]

Jesus, are you charging car batteries thru USB 2.0?!

I am jealus of your rig...

 

Also I used to hop all over in C17's .. we usually only had nore more than 25 people in those flights... rode in the cockpits often and would see interesting sights around the world... Icebergs, meteor crators, other stuff.. Flew in the Tanker/vomit comet, was weightless int he parabolic arch rise/fall... and float like simulation in the fuselage... would get stuck in mid air, could not touch the side, top, or bottom, till the plane leveled out...

:helpsmilie:

 

Downside was being stuck i n cities I din't want to get stuck in awaiting flights...

:cry:

[Raised_Dead85]

1200W?!!

 

Jesus, are you charging car batteries thru USB 2.0?!

 

So i wont have to spend more money on PSU ever:D

Yeah i cant stand flying on planes that i cant even see spec of clouds. I like looking out in the sky and the ground!

[Troffmeister]

that psu will run sli 2 x gtx 8800 no probs i would imagine )

[TucksonSonny]

Ill do that once i build it and install LOFC 1.12b! Ill be home around the 21st of september. Right now im stuck on base with no car :( :(

 

Oh BTW i forgot the important thing the PSU.... i got the 1200w Thermaltake ATX.

 

I have a portable radiator of 1200W :D

Anyway awesome system you got there. :thumbup:

Raised_Dead85, great pc, the e6850 is a real sweetspot in cpu price/performance at the moment.

 

love to hear more, running full detail settings etc.

 

Troffmeister, is that the p5n32e+ with the 2x 16 pci-e?

it appears you have built this rig around a single card, for now at least.

[Troffmeister]

yep to be honest i will never go sli

 

my viewsonic monitor does 1280 max rez and i will have 1 x 8800 gtx ultra by asus - so my rig should rock my games at that rez with bucket loads of aa and af

 

so its a 1 x 3d card new pc - i was advised to get the sli asus m/board becoz of its good features and track record and chipset etc -

 

i could alaways go sli in future just get a bigger psu put in the case - but that would be years from now )

 

my pc i am typing on now - is athlon 1900 with a gf4 ti 4200 128 mb 3d card - so tomorrow thursday i am expecting big changes and hopefully a big wow factor when i collect the new rig )

 

my 1st new pc in 7 years so i am excited )

[G3]

makes sense, i am already laughing at how much better you will see the new pc is compared to the old.

 

it will be a massive improvement well worth the wait :)

[Raised_Dead85]

I was going to post more info but i cant get it to line up!

[Raised_Dead85]

Since i cannot post all detail specs all at one ill just give you guys links of the stuff i ordered and ready to build.
