If I run into FR probs with THIS one, then I'm lost.

this scares me....

I got one that had never been picked up, saved about $700 on it. It was either that or drive to a store in western PA just to pick up the lesser one (no stores in my area carry the Alienware line, and they won't ship them to a home address unless you get one of the 'outlet' examples apparently).

My first test flight in the WWI arena, I was getting 85FPS with all the settings maxed out.

It'll be good to see you in the arenas again bro.

Treize, where do you go to uncheck your frame rate limit? or is there one, i swore awhile back i think before the last couple updates i could read my frame rates (which i think was set to unlimited) and they were always around 172 to 225  now its always maxed at 60, but i cant remember where to access that funtion again

Dunno, I just checked it quick with ctrl-I after I set up my views and controls. Thats a good question.

I think it is in video settings before you enter the game.  But if you are getting ~200 fps that is way over what your monitor can handle there is no reason to have them that high.

How much????

[Treize69]

All together came to $2200. Which is about what I paid for my last one six years ago that finally died. Came with everything new except the monitor, since most of the ones I get don't fit in the cabinet my desk provides for them. I'll keep using the old one until I find a good one that actually fits properly.

Holy cow.

Shoulda built one man! Save money and you feel good about doing it! You get to look at your new shiny computer with all the parts you wanted, brands, etc, and say "I built that.".
