found this too late, but I'll reply anyway...

Just got back into CounterStrike after not playing for the better part of a year (coincidentally, just got out of a relationship...)

Started playing Left 4 Dead (get this game!)

I have Guildwars and tend to get into it for a while, then put it aside again for a while.

I refuse to play WoW because there is no way I'm going to pay for a game and then keep paying more every month to be able to play it.

1. You are a PC gamer in some form or another. Mention your favorite PC game genre too please.
2. Do not own but would like to own FarCry2 and/or Call of Duty: World at War

1. Mostly RTS, but I dig a good FPS. I need to get that Demo of Dawn of War II...
2. I think I've already got that CoD - if it's the WWII one where you start of the 1st cut scene as a prisonser of the Japanese - I've got that one. Came with the afore mentioned video card.

I'm interested would be good to see if my PC can handle these games well or not. Running evga 780i, 2 8800gt in sli

By the way tri SLI with the 285 holy shit that thing must waste any game you put in it. You using the x58 board from evga?

erkishhorde · February 20, 2009, 08:04:18 AM

I'm still interested.

Side note, whatcha getting so many video cards for?

I'm a PC gamer.

I dig the FPS / RPG / RTS genre (currently wasting way too much time playing fallout 3)

Pick me!

there is no such thing as wasting time when it comes to fallout

Hmm I'm wondering if my poor old Athlon 3700+ is going to be upto this task

I think my new video cards GPU might be giving my main processors speed a run for it's money...

Anyone got a socket 939 chip thats faster n that they want to sell on the cheap?

No need to put me in the drawing, just wanted to post up.

Have 'em both, played 'em both, loved 'em both.

Whoever ends up with FC2 , make sure you learn the bus system to save your self a shitload of travel time and tedium!

I'm pretty much FPS all the way....

RAM: 2x2GB Patriot Viper PC8500 HSF: Xigmatek HDT-S1283
GPUs: XFX GTX285 TRI-SLI HDD1: 2x150GB WD Velociraptors in RAID 0
HDD2: 2x500GB Seagate Barracudas HDD3: 1TB Seagate Free Agent External
OD1: Lite-On BD-ROM OD2: LG DVD-RW w/Lightscribe

I also run 3 instances of the GPU Folding @ Home client and 2 Windows SMP clients when I am not gaming. Doing my part to help research protein folding and mutation!

I will be doing the drawing on Sunday night so if you want in, just post up. I have up until the post before this for names (hypurone excluded).

Sorry- this is a little off-topic, but this sounds like the group to ask. My kid got me MotoGP 3 for Christmas, and I can't get it to recognize my steering wheel/ pedal controls. So I have to play by the keyboard, which means I spend a lot of time in the gravel. My controllers are from about the turn of the century (this century), so maybe they are too old. What controllers would you recommend for MotoGP and racing sims? (I have a mediocre HP Pavillion about 3 years old running XP). Thanks for any advice.

ZLTFUL · February 20, 2009, 02:16:55 PM

iDuc, I'll do a little digging tonight and post up later with some recommendations...

With the size of those cards supposedly the X58 from evga was the only board that could fit all three without having fitment issues. Saw a few reviews and the 780 boards were all having to put the 3rd card in at a bit of an angle to get them to fit.

Does that power supply seem to hold up well so far running all three cards?
