Most games i've tried so far run well, but the one that really stands out is Mirrors Edge. Constant 60 fps maxed out with 16xAA. Looks super smooth and i even can capture it without almost no framedrops in 1080P

I don't run an FPS "counter" but I can tell when it's under 50 - 60. Doesn't happen. Unless there is some super-huge mega city I haven't come across yet.

He could have 4 580s that wouldn't change a thing in the cities. The game is more CPU hungry. My old rig had a Core 2 Quad at 3 Ghz and i had 15-30 fps in the cities with Acceleration Layer. My new rig rarely drops in the 40s with tons of mods.

Left 4 Dead 2, this game looks fairly good and I get 200+fps on max, I mean valve is just amazing CSS I get like 300fps flat. Quake 3...? Dirt 2, Grid Anything based on Quake 3 honestly. (Includes the COD'z) I hate games that look bad and run like crap. Serious Sam 3 I have on lowest and it even dips to 60fps, I mean wtf it looks worse than cs1.6 on lowest.

Of course it would. That system is a powerhouse and will be for quite some time. No games within the next few years will strain that much. Lucky guy :P

My specs :Phenom II 945, 4 GB DDR3, Radeon HD 4770.

Games that ran sweet with 60+ fps:

  • DMC 4
  • DiRT 2/GRID
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Prototype
  • Darksiders

Games that I didn't expect would run well, but actually did (40+ fps):

  • Just Cause 2
  • Batman Arkham Asylum
  • Dawn of War II (as long as there isn't, maybe, 100+ units on the screen).
  • Bulletstorm
  • Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

A few small things here and there that add up in the long run. Using Win 7 64-bit with 8 GB memory for starters. I shut down a lot of unnecessary apps before I game, and I don't open up my browser. I also use Clear Mem, an app that trims down the memory apps use, and move data into the cache. With 38 processes running, I can knock down the memory overhead to 875 MB. Overhead right now with browser open is 1.05 GB used. I also don't max-out games, I set them to where they look good so they run faster. You could try setting it to one core to see if that helps.

Could be, but I always make sure with the Task Manager. Something else was bothering me, and it finally hit me.:P Some might wish to argue this, but it makes sense...DMC4 is one of the TWIMTBP games, which means there are Nvidia-specific graphics commands in the executable. The game's graphics performance just naturally leans more towards GeForce GPUs, because the executable uses GPU command set versus general graphics commands. Linky.

Also......

Quake 2 runs 3D-accelerated at 60fps most of the time on my netbook with Intel graphics. It wouldn't install from cd to Win 7 Starter. But, I just copied the files straight over. :lol:

Most games, except Metro 2033 with Advanced DOF. Skyrim too - it drops under 60fps in towns even with a 2500k at 4Ghz :evil:

soldiers of world war 2 can run pretty well on any dual core processor. tomb raider , angel of darkness thief - deadly shadows - old game hitman contracts - dual core processor was enough dragonshard arma 2 - i3 was enough.

He has a laptop, 580m =/= 580 and his i7 is mobile. It's a really amazing laptop, but there's games he can't run maxed out right now.

Air Conflicts: Secret War

A budget title that I get like 150fps at all times. It doesn't look all that bad either.

Skyrim runs best? :| I call BS

Go into a town in Skyrim and tell me how many frames you get

I get around this at times, lol:

But I average around 30-50 at least in that and some others(and a little higher), compared to previous rig where it can get below not only 30 but 20 at times...
