Don't mind me I'm just doing the I am so awesome dance. I just purchased the last piece for my new computer. No more running AO at 20fps at medium settings for me.

I'm now running my new computer. AO is in the process of downloading. I'm also downloading 3D mark to test out this bad boy. I'll post the score. Ran into a couple of snags. My bloated best of a graphics card required two PCIexpress power connectors and my power supply only had one, so I had to go buy an adapter. Also because my graphics card is over 9000 inches long it is actually blocking FOUR of my sata sockets.

Sorry to inform you... but AO doesn't utilize that card at all. The FPS you get is based pretty much only on CPU power, and not GPU. When the new gfx engine is out though it should run much smoother :)

That's the same video card I have, too. While AO ran nicely on my 6800GT, that card will be great for any other games you try. I love it. But yeah... it's a freakin monster. I don't know how they expect you to do SLI with it when it takes up so much of your space already. :lol:
