Can Anyone Run MAX Everything?

[100Coogn]

I know we have a thread floating around with images of peoples rigs, but do you have one that will run everything maxed out?  All sliders-max:  Shadows-smooth (and at least 4096):  Environment -max.  Everything else maxed or turned on.
If you do, let's hear about your system.  Did it bankrupt you?
Oh yea, photos of your rig is a big plus.

This thread is for folks who have it and would like to show it off.

Coogan <---did not display my specs...

Yeh.... taking my desk apart to get pictures... not going to happen.

Here is basically what I did although the CPU cooling is very different:

I went from a 5570 to a 6870, still couldn't max the game, same settings as before. Though Im pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that AH is more CPU than GPU and I currently have a Core2Duo E7500 at 2.93Ghz. Moment I turn on smooth shadows or 8192 shadows, the game takes a pooper. (and yes semp, I know you'll come barging in "no one needs 8192 shadows, bla bla bla, you're rig isn't strong enough, bla bla"). Well hey, it's strong enough to play Arma 2 on max, Crysis 2 max and BF3 on high. ("bla bla, those games doesn't have hundreds of players in an area, bla bla"). I dunno, Arma 2 and BF3 comes close.

I only use the highest settings for making movies. The new environment mapping is more interesting than the shadows. I have never really liked the way shadows make other planes look especially target bombers. It just throws the aim off.

I never said no one needs 8192 shadows.  all I said was your rig wont come even close to play 8192, i kind of doubt it will play with 4096 and everything else on.  hey I can play pogo with everything on and there's over 100k players on at all times. but I cant do shadows at 8192 in aces high, so something is gotta be wrong with aces high.

I don't nearly believe you, or you are running the game in 800x600

shadows do turn the bomber's wings black at a distance, and when you close in the effect just goes away. Always thought something was wrong with my rendering.

Sadly, I cannot due to my running the game in multi-monitor mode.  Even my SLIed dual GTX 570s can't run everything maxed when running at 5990x1080 resolution.    

Still....it looks pretty good to me as is and I do have quite a few things turned on.....

Finished redoing my system but, I havn't tried max settings all sliders. I dont' care for the shadows. I did try the shadows at 4096 and video setting at 2048? ALso the one slider in advanced 75 percent over and still had 59fps. Running game in 1600x1050 with Samsung 22 inch monitor 4 years old.
