I agree. This just isn't good enough to be able to have 10,000 aircraft in the sky at once. Your FPS will be bad.

What's the name of your case (with the blue fans) phat? You might not have much play time if your baby arrives Good luck and nice setup.

Jesus Phat - That thing is a brute!

...I don't want to worry you, but the reason I've been inactive for the last year is 100% baby related

Catch you in the Skies soon

That's a very nice overclock for a socket 1366 processor. And a nice build.

However I'm not sure quad-crossfire 5870s is a good idea. Crossfire scaling for the 5800s (compared to the 5700s, the 6800s or the 6900s) isn't that great as I understand it. And with crossfire/SLI in general, the more cards you add the less improvement you get. The third 5870 will not be adding "much" over the first two, and I wonder whether the fourth 5870 is helping at all.

Actually, I just decided to look up some benchmarks. The quad 5870 sometimes does offer a benefit over tri 5870, and sometimes does nothing. I would be kind of interested to see whether CoD can use the 4th GPU or not.

Quite good, but can it run Pacman or will it need an upgrade again?

I think this will run it whadya reckon?!
I can't wait!

i7 950 @ 4.6Ghz 6GB Ram
Quad Crossfire ATI 5870 @ 1000/1300

why are you running in quad crossfire ? (given the possible issues it might cause using crossfire)

with the 3 screens ( ? looks like 24'ers to me @ 1920 x 1200 ?), wouldnt it have been more simple to assign one gfx card for each screen and run the multiple monitor system that way with just 3 cards ?

i am currently experimenting with trying to get a 3 screen setup to work myself using 2 gfx cards (1x 1920x1200 and 2x 1280x1024, basically a widescreen monitor in the middle with two 19' in landscape mode on either side). one gfx card is assigned for the large central monitor, the 2e gfx card rns the 2 smaller monitors.
