Hello all. Long story short, i have a cheap desktop and used to game on a laptop. I would run the Orange Box on medium settings with playable framerate(Desktop couldn't play games).
Today i went to the store and bought a GT430 (I know!) for my desktop, and wow im overall impressed to how much better my desktop runs Orange Box than my laptop.
Heres the question, when i go to the settings and all the current settings are with the * next to it, i assume thats what my gpu recommends. Thats everything on high with no AA. I get super smooth framerate (I game on ps3 :P) except there is some screen tear. However, out of curiosity i turned up everything on max, including AA on 8x. And to my astonishment, game maintained good framerate( +30 definitely) and there is less screen tear!(than the recommended settings)
So whats with that? will i fry my system?
Thanks in advance.
Extra info: Desktop is an Athlon 64 2.4GHz 2gb ddr ram single core(I know! :P)
