So, I got my new card in the mail today, TF2 plays extremely smoothly. When I had it on 16x AA and 8x Ani it will put out 80 - 90 FPS, even while playing people, however if the action gets really thick it will chug at times. So in the interests of never chugging I turned them off since I really don't notice much of a difference with them on versus off. Other than that, it puts out 60 during really heavy particle effects and 100+ at all other times.
The Box
Opening the box - feels like everyone is trying to emulate apple on this one
The card
Comparison shot next to a Wii
In the case - On the far end of the card I have a few centimeters of clearance
Both power connectors hooked up, this things drains a lot of juice, a 700w PSU is recommended for one, a 1000w recommended for an SLI setup
I look forward to fraging all of you again
Edit Temps: Idle 45 C - Heavy Game Load - 65 C
