I am still very amused by the packaging. As usual, the component or part v small, but the box v big.
Who wants the World of Warcraft trial CD?
My Sound card finally got a neighbour! 
Sitting quietly in the casing - actually not v quiet, cause I max out the fan’s rpm (the redplate is the 4870 and the one with the red led light is the Sound blaster fatal1ty)
Bought some time ago, for only $25! How to resist ?!
Over the past 1 week, I have tried the following games on my card
- Assassin’s Creed
- DMC 4
- Crysis Warhead
- Street Fighter IV
The first 2 games are very smooth even at max settings except for when I put AA 8x, DMC 4 will jerk occasionally, not advisable and not necessary too. Completed the game before i bought the card, so don’t think I will play again though. Assassin’s Creed max settings good to go. I am still playing it now. Great game.
Crysis Warhead, can’t max settings, now I know why people always benchmark with Crysis. Anyway the game will configure automatically according to your hardware, so for my gig, auto set ‘gamer’ settings for all. The game is very demanding but then of course the graphics and the sound are damn solid. Anyway all games I put my samsung monitor’s native resolution 1600 x 900.
Street Fighter IV don’t really need very high end hardware, so it runs pretty well on my gig.
Other games like GTA 4, The Last Remnant and Need For Speed have yet to try but I know for sure GTA 4 is very demanding. No single card can support it’s max settings, definitely need to xfire or SLI.
Trying to do some benchmark when I have the time…
