I don't have a wide screen monitor, So please post the performance of a old normal screen res like 1280x1024 and so on Thank you.

Hey Torps, this is a little off topic, but I noticed you live in Phoenix. I assume you live in AZ correct? Because I don't think I've met anyone else around here from AZ .

im running 8800 gtx overclocked to 625/1000

i can play sh4 at maximum setting 1600x1200 8XAA at constant 60 frames. it drops to 50 when its foggy.

I get the exact same FPS range you do except I am at 1680x1050. Multiply what your getting by x2. Crazy though isn't it?:hmm:

I will get one of those cards soon (9800 GX2). I will use EVGA's stepup program, the only draw back is waiting a week to get the card (send mine and wait to receive the new one)but the money spent for your old card counts towards your purchase $320 for a 9800 GX2, count me in !!
