Yeah exactly, but I've had this Ultra since launch.

But usually it doesn't bother me if some new hardware gets released a few weeks later, I upgrade once a year ( Varies though ) and most top-of-the-line hardware is able to last that long. It's going to be a bitch when they start releasing hardware performing 100-200% better than the previous generation, then we'll have some sad faces around the world when new hardware is being tested and shipped to the stores :laugh:

What'd you pay for that, around $650 USD? I know they were pricey when they first came out (as all new cards are), Demand+Supply=Price Gouging.

Haha :laugh:

It's so great to know the right people. One of the head guys at Lexmark Denmark is a friend of my mother, so that means free printers and Ink Cartridges. A personal friend of mine working for nVidia ( He won't tell me any specifics, I'm sure he's just some salesguy :p ) he can provide me with older cards for 30-40$ and top of the line card for almost half the price. Not to mention friends working for Nintendo, Philips ...

I consider myself lucky.

Yeah man, you got the hook-up, that's for sure. The best I can do is get lumber/building materials for contractor prices, and bribe my crew with some (free to them) beer and a meal on the grill. I might get a new deck in a weekend. :laugh:

Well guys my results are partially in. I ran the MKZ demo and had around 30 FPS min, 50 FPS average, 95 FPS max. I was installing programs in the background as well so I might come back and give a try with nothing else open and after I overclock a little.

The Kulu demo was fun but I got stuck in the room with the little pods. I tried jumping up that broken slab of concrete but couldn't.

That is about all I had time to run today because I am still copying files from the old computer over and it is taking forever!

If you go to the lockers next to the door in the little room, there's a weapon in there. Then the computer kills the blob for you and the game finishes :p

No? Then tell me why my results just shot up under XP ;) ?

Could also be because I used some older drivers under Vista? But my FPS did increase across the board under XP.

i you got more crap running in vista :p

Yeah, Vista is definitely draining power!

Here's my results at 1280x1024 with an 8800 Ultra;

I'm switching back to XP tomorrow!

You are switching to xp because of some random benchmark? There could have been many other factors that effected that score besides vista itself.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
