Low Shadow
High Model
VH view
VH texture detail

Model detail maxed for card

TO
Max settings except Low shadow (gonna try and get that running later)
@ same resolution and fps.

I'm gonna check CoH next.

COH went from
38fps avg
@ ~med settings.

to
58 fps avg @ max everything except "HIGH" terrain instead of "ULTRA"... I suspect ultra terrain may be dx10 only, it's the only selection that's greyed out.

 

[Lithan]

Ok Hellgate... Everything maxed @ 26-48fps
Everything maxed except HIGH rather than VH texture detail @ 35-55 fps

512 or 256?

256 7800gtx to 512 9600gt

Overclock on stock is 725core /2000mem

Gives me pretty solid 40+ fps in hellgate all maxxed except when I wade into massive particle fests then I dip as low as 29 fps.

Heatsink cool to the touch, so vgpu mod may be in the card's future.
