Well, I have v-sync on, so that acts sort of as a govenor for fps, but with my new set up I get a steady 60 fps in game no matter what.

My gear:

Core 2 Quad 9400 @ 2.66 GHz with FSB of 1333 MHz
4 GB DDR2 800MHz
GTX 275 Video Card (from EVGA) with Samsung Synmaster 226BW LCD Monitor
Asus P5Q-E Motherboard
Seagate 500 GB SATA 3 GB/s HDD

FPS shoot up a lot higher if I disable v-sync, but I don't like the tearing effect you will get with a sudden change in object to be rendered.

NOTE: I didn't go SLI because the performance gain is not worth the overall heat gain for running two (or three) cards or the cost.

I wouldnt, if your going to buy a pre built pc, wait for windows 7 release next fall, by then that pc will be around 1800 instead or 2700

I shall take your advise.

I don't know my FPS because I don't know how to check, but I have no complaints with the following setup - also plays Crysis well.

Intel Core2 Duo 2.13Ghz 800Mhz bus
Corsair 2GB RAM (only 667Mhz)
250GB SATA II HD Seagate
Nvidia 9800GTX
Windows XP SP3
Nothing is overclocked, no special anything.  not even a swanky keyboard or mouse.  I use a trackball and an old HP keyboard.
If someone can tell me how to check FPS (without installing something like FRAPS), I'd appreciate it.  Don't know the console command.

Nema,

About a month ago I built a $700 System and I get 100-140 fps on most maps, kneedeep is the only one where I am 80-100 most of the time...

Anyhow, I built an AMD Phenom II x3 2.8ghz  system with 6gb of 1333mhz ram on a Geforce 275, I play at 1900x1080 resolution with 4x aa nd 16x AF.

If you want any suggestions on peicing a new system together from Newegg that wont break the bank, let me know. You can build an excellent gamming rig for <700.

I have a GTX 285 and a Q6600 quad core OCed to 4 GHZ stable...I think the game has a FPS cap on it because I get 199 FPS pegged....In other words in NEVER comes down and never goes up (Which would leave me to believe that I have room left BUT the game wont let me get it)...I OCed my proc and my GFX card BUT it stays steady at 199 FPS...There is a command line or something that you need to change to get more IMHO.

GET THE 285 YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
