    Just tested DOOM 3 in 1600x1200 Ultra Mode mode and no aa no af and I have to say i'm suprised it ran like 30 ~ 50 frames a second even in big fights but at 30 fps but playable, I guess EVGA ROCKS just had to share that info.

    Do I need a better heat sink ?

    Hi I just over clocked my Bartorn 2500@1.8Ghz + to 3200+ @ 2.2GHZ with the stock heat sink. After playing doom 3 for about 5 hrs it doesnt get hotter than 54 degrees at idle it is about 40-45C degrees. My room temperature is about 33C. Should I buy a better heat sink ?
