EVGA GTX 465 on the way.

Finly get to do a video upgrade. I am so tired of no AA or AF and all gfx on low. just to get 30FPS. Keep in ming this is running a second screan and HELIOS. :thumbup:

 

I am going to creat a bench mark .trk file to compair the two setups. I will post the track file if anyone wants to compair to my #'s. I will try to keep the track around 1 min.

Ok here is the news on my new GTX 465. I can now runn DCS at max settings but I have not gained ant FPS wait I have lost FPS in DCS, no matter the settings I use. If I am to hazared a guss, I think that the GTX 465 is now using more of my CPU/RAM bandwith leaving less for DCS to use. BS looks the same but A-10c looks realy good now with settings at max. I still turn down a few things just to gain 3 FPS in turns but that is the best I can do with my curint system specs.

All my other game's that I play I can now run with close to max settings with 50+ FPS BFBC2 is running around 90+FPS in MP. This card is bad a$$. and it over clock's easy. EVGA Oc sftwair has a profile loader for quick setting changes I have a max medum and cooldown profile saved for certan game. Also I am using my 8800GT XXX for extra phisX support. it does improve FPS a bit in games that use it.

 

Botom line is that if you don't have curint MB, CPU and RAM to keep up with the GTX 465 you are not using it to its full copacity. Like my set up the slow RAM and mother board are holding me back. CPU is OK. But still want a new one.

I did not get any substantial increase going from a 9800GX2 (2X8800) to a 470FTX, except with overcast.

well going from 2 ati hd4850 xfire to one GTX superclocked 570 boosted my performance big time. I am now able to have all on max and still get good fps. This card has literaly doubled my performance vs the xfire set up.

I think I am seeing a trend here. Every one that I here say there FPS is high 30+ are running a Intel CPU. running a higher ram mh than AMD.
