Gear of War more suitable for console IMHO. but if available for pc, why not? seem like Only On X360 is totally crap nowadays. many of their hits ported. most recent ported Xbox games i can recall is Jade Empire.

woooppsss...
cellfactor already out. and its free rolleyes.gif
can play whether got the physX card or not. there's even custom file to redirect PPU instruction to CPU, so physX not needed.

*sorry for my blindness. already mentioned doh.gif

@akachester
get 86GTS. can use additional power via 6pin. more OC headroom

your noisetaker can handle it. if it's 8800GTX, i think still can IIRC. if HD2900XT, i doubt it.

in Computer Power User (CPU) magazine, they setup SLI 88GTX using corsair HX620W!!! actually tats over load the capacitors in the PSU. bad in long run.

Guys, would the 8600GT be able to support uber high resolution on 22" Widescreen LCD? I have seen review stating that gaming with the 8600GT is good enough on 1240 * 1024 resolution etc and anything higher is almost unbearable. So, if i am going to purchase a 22" LCD in the future, would getting the 8600GT be a wise choice?
*
for me, even 7900GT OCed still cough on 12*10.

for 22in, 8800GTS 320MB is recommended.
for 24in, 8800GTS 640MB
for 30in, 8800GTS SLi or 8800GTX/GTX ULtra
for 30in and beyond, SLi 8800GTX?GTX Ultra

well.. this is very good news for me, i also use CM extreme power 430, i scare not enough watt for the graphic card.. which 8800GTS brand u using??

*how to know the card is full load?? i a bit not understand it, is it ful overclock??(sorry im no good in this section)
*
full load happen when graphic intensive software runs. like 3Dmark.

overclock happen when ... u over clocked it. increased the clockspeed of the core or memory.

prime stress your cpu. try doing 3Dmark for few loops. that will test the stability for your card

500W is enough for your setup. IMHO, power requirement for 8800 series are overated, so as quadcore. if not mistaken, power consumption of quadcore almost on par with old pentium 4 EE presshot

weird. in this test, 400W enough for OCed E6600 + SLi 320M 8800GTS OCed.
http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticl...537&articID=574

IIRC, SLi 8800GTS OCed consume more wattage than stock 8800Ultra (even if OC). and thats with 400w psu.

*i really don't recommend doing so
