Computer Setup

What kind of FPS do you see in games with the crossfire? Love your set up!

Thanks! I haven't actually really looked into tracking specific framerates, but on one monitor it runs pretty much everything really smooth on High - Ultra. The exception would be Metro Last Light, for whatever reason that game lags and is completely unplayable. When I jump up to 3 monitors FPS games are still playable but not nearly as smooth. RTS and racing games run on ultra no issue in Eyefinity!

That's awsome to hear! I'm running a single 7970 at present and get pretty similar performance, yet to delve into the world of eyefinity though.

It's a thing of beauty, definitely takes some getting used to though. Two is usually plenty for most people but I loved having 3 and not just for gaming but for school and work related stuff as well.

Yeah, Metro isn't very well optimized, and understandably so. I get a decent, average frame rate, but the game suffers from a lot of stuttering and micro-stuttering.

That's what I've heard, I actually changed it so that it would run on DX9 and it was considerably better but it seems to degrade the longer I play... to the point where it's lagging so hard it's completely unplayable.

I have the same keyboard as you, I'm really annoyed that it smudges so easily because of the glossy finish.

Yeah, the piano finish certainly isn't my favorite but a friend of mine gave it to me so I couldn't really complain. After that I just kind of got used to it and now everything else I've tried isn't nearly as comfortable!

I see all that AV gear has left you without funds for a desk :]

Haha I know, right? It was a temporary setup for the summer though so I decided not to get a desk until I get back out of my parents house. Two weeks, thank god! Keep an eye out for an update right around the beginning of next month!

This is amazing. What headphone stand is that?
