Out of curiosity, what kind of fps do you get on the stress test? I usually get around 120-130 running at 1650x1080 with everything on high and AAx0. Not sure how good/bad that is, but looking at some benchmarks, that seems about right for what I'm running.

IRC I got around 100-110 FPS running at 1600x1200 same settings.

@ what quality settings? 0AA/0AF?

Yes.

I get about 185-195fps with the rig in my sig. Thats at 1650x1080 at All High Settings and HDR with 4xAA and 8xAF. And with the High end pc autoexec i posted. Without the High end file i get 175-180fps.

can someone please explain what the "4xAA and 8xAF" is and "0AA/0AF"??

Also, which yields better results?

AA = Anti-Aliasing
AF = Anisotrophic Filtering

AA removes jaggies and makes stuff look a lot better, but at the cost of a pretty decent performance shot. I'm not entirely too sure what AF is, but it doesn't seem to drop FPS very much, so I keep it at 4x on my crappy computer.
