Yes.

You didn't know that?

Anyone else just go by the minimum like me? My average is always solid, it's my min. that needs a boot in the tail at times.

I always go by the minimum fps. Average and maximum are pointless if your minimum is low.

That's the way I see it. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have GTX style bragging rights. But I don't.:D

I want playable as smoothly as possible.

The GTS is definitely merit for bragging rights. Even just one. Though my sig says contrary, I'm only using one card for now. I've just been too lazy to edit my sig.

Anyhow, gonna' run the FEAR stress test now. Wonder what I'll get.

Not as good as I had hoped, but they could have been worse. I'm sure once I can get my proc's temps under control and then OC it to 3Ghz my score would be min 30FPS<.

Used specified settings ingame, nvcp at default

I have no option for EAX though..I should with an audigy 4, right?

Um.. that's a pretty tiny pic. Can't see what your scores are. Got a larger version? And when I click on the pic, it only directs me to Image Shack's website, not to a larger version.

As for EAX, I didn't have that option either, though everuthing else was as the OP requested. Since you have a Audigy4, you should have EAX as an option. Are you using the Alchemy drivers?

Yup, have alchemy installed, but I think it only works on X-fi's, wasn't sure about that when I installed it.

EDIT: I forgot v-sync. Obviously :rolleyes:

As in you didn't have v-sync enabled? That would explain why your minimum is nearly 20fps higher than mine.

damn you all, with your FEAR FPS

i'm gonna toss that G15 out the damn window

Yup, going to run it again right now.

EDIT: Somethings not right with yours bro.

Did you have literally every in-game option maxed? Wait, maybe I don't have TB enabled... better check.

[grey_1]

Why is my EAX grayed out? I never noticed it before.

[Redeemed]

LOL... that was dumb.

I set AF to 4x and AAx to 16x in the driver control panel. :p Considering my scores, I'm proud. :D

Re-running the test now.

That's how it shows up on mine as well. But, I'm using on board audio.

you need x-fi and alchemy for it to work

Yes, vol. lights, soft shadows, 4xAA, 16xAF, all effects at max.

Would the EAX make that difference? Is that why he stressed it had to be on?

I'll check again.

EDIT: Arg - I screwed up, I had ss on and shadows off. :o :o
My bad!

No, I made the mistake... in the driver control panel I had AA set to 16x and the AF set to 4x. Just a dumb mistake. My scores still aren't as high as yours, so maybe something else is set differently. Gonna' recheck now.

Oh, I also have IE7 open, with two tabs (nVnews and photobucket), as well as WMP11 minimized. DreamScene is paused, and the sidebar is running. Still, that should be enough to make my score that much less than yours.
