Just reloaded CFS3 after a long time, what I love is when you go back to some of the older games with new hardware, how you can run the game as it should have been.
Now I have every thing set a max, with BoB installed and as many aircraft as you can have flying.
Just can't slow it down. what ever I do.

Sorry Flamingskull, did not mean to come across as a show off.
It is so nice to see the games as they should be. I am now going to go through loads of older stuff I have on the shelf to see what I missed the first time round when I had an that old P2.66 GHZ, I had that for about 7 years, it's now sitting in the corner of the basement.:wavey:

Actually I just bought the same vid card, but I don't think I have it running at it's full potential just yet, more tweaking to do!

Hey KevBoy, are you doing anything special to get the optimum out of the GTX460? Drivers, overclocking, settings etc?

The processor's clocked to 4GHz - do you even need to faff with the video card???

Hi all
No just the main over clock to 4GHz. Water cooling needed. I did not say before but I also run a Matrox Triplehead2go digital on 3 widescreens at 3840, should be able to get that to about 5040 with an update.

I did not make the computer my self this time as I have a mate with a shop see here. last one in gamer list. http://www.1stgc.co.uk/products.php?SECTIONID=Online%5fCatalogue%5f%5fGam er%5f257%2ehtml&NOLOGIN=1
