- RAM: Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel
- Hard Drives: Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive and Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
- Graphics Card: x2 GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 in SLI
- Sound : 7.1 Channel Sound (On-Board)
- Optical Drive: Samsung SH-B123L/RSBP 12x BD-ROM / 16x DVD Writer Drive - Black

Impressed with the config and also the heat that it all chucks out.

Do you get extra kick from an SLI running on 1920x resolution or do you need to have dual screen or higher res for that? In case you do then I'll wait for a while to get the 580 prices a bit lower and buy a second hand 2nd GPU assuming my 850W can still run it.

Hi Whatnot

1920x1200 is native to my screen but I run at 1600 by 1200 to get the ratio a bit more playable. IL2 currently runs very, very smoothly but the SLI however is causes the classic smoke shadow flicker and tarmac distortion. Not too muck of an issue, but I do hope that CoD caters for SLI configuration. Just tested the Black Death track and get an average of 180fps.
