Ok I just looked up some fermi and I'm liking what I'm seeing.

I'll wait a little bit for it too drop in price then pick one up.

I wanna see a fermi go against two GTX 285's in SLI though.

 

Also my monitor is 1680X1050 however it's a 3D monitor and 3D gaming takes a lot more horsepower.


How are you finding 3d gaming on 285 GTX sli?

I have a 260 GTX SLI (also known as GTX 295) and I am getting great frame rates on almost maxed out settings for most games as long as AA is not on. I am gaming on 1080p though...

 

It's doing damn good actually I can run Crysis Warhead in 3d with framerates running around 30 FPS.   It never hiccups or anything and it doesn't have any noticeable framerate drops unless the actions extremely heavy but even then it's still playable. The catch is of course you need to have your nVidia Crosshair turned off.  Also with Normal crysis I don't know the framerates. I installed the Real-Lifesis mod to make the game look even better and ever since then I can't run it in 3d.  It won't load up when i try. But Real Lifesis itself runs around 50 FPS when not around water and 30 FPS when around it. Here's some screens I took last night. This is of course with 16XQ AA all settings VeryHigh etc. Real Lifesis says custom but that's cause well...its a mod to make it better of course.

58.3 FPS here when not around water

37.1 when around water

 

I find that whatever game im playing (other then Left 4 Dead)  if I have the nVidia Crosshair turned on my frame rates in 3D just turn to shit. Most of the time it's so bad it's completly unplayable. Does this happen to you? I read online it happens to some other people. Do you know if there is some kind of fix to this if you know anything about it?

Damn, thats pretty impressive. I can tell by reading your post that GTX285 sli is better than GTX260sli :) I wouldn't dare run Crysis at 8XAA let alone 16...lol.

I did not see the crosshair slowdown issue yet. Come to think of it, I usually play with the Nvidia crosshair of anyways cause I don't care if its in 2D lol.  I'll try this when I get home... Mass Effect 2 I heard needs some crosshair tweaks

It just really sucks i love playing borderlands in 3D and I'm a sniper in the game. That games aiming is EXTREMELY off without the 3D crosshairs enabled. when you zoom in you effectivly have a gun with 2 barrels....rather inefectively :/

Yeah I'll be getting 90 FPS in that game then have it go down to 10 with crosshairs.



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2
