Hahaha lol, your does 10K 3dmark 06, I have 8800GT and my rig only does 9400, all because of the CPU. BTW, sweet OC on that 8400
 
Scores would be a lot higher with a quad core. The E8400 helps but it's still just a dual core. Also, for the 3DMark06 calculation, the CPU score is halved so it doesn't have quite as much of a contribution. If I get bored one day I'll be tempted to crank the E8400 up to 4.5 and see if I can break 13k... I don't think it'd be enough though.

Anyways, this thing's running games really well. If you were running a really high res, other cards would be better, but I'm just running at 1400x1050 so this does the trick.

Thats an odd resolution lol :soda:
Why not 1440x900 ?

EDIT: Oh hold on, is that a regular 19" LCD/CRT?
 
Yep, 1680x1050 and 1440x900 are widescreen. This is standard 4:3, 20" @ 1400x1050. Samsung 203B
 
You are correct sir! I thought I checked 1440x1050 at 4:3, but I must have typed it into the calculator wrong. I thought it was some weird aspect ratio.

I'm used to seeing 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.

:beer:
