Revisions for The Gaming Machine of Delayed Gratification.

So yesterday.. It finally arrived yes. The box for this thing is the same size and dimension as the box my mainboard came in.. Sorry the pics aren’t the best. Was more in a rush to get the thing installed, then to patiently take all the photos possible and drool.

This completes the intended upgrades to my core system, anyone have some links to a good benchmarking program?, I can get some figures out there for us to look at.

So my system currently stands as being:

• AMD Phenom X4 9550
• 4GB system RAM ( 2x Kingston sticks, DDR3 maybe, if not, DDR2)
• Nvidia GTX260 866MB GDDR3 (has an S Video, DVI-S(S for something…), and a HDMI)
• Samsung SyncMaster 2443BW 24” Widescreen LCD

To compared this system, with this system with the previous “temporary” PCI-e card ( 7600GS). The bridge scene in Mothership Zeta (Fallout 3 DLC Expansion), would previously at times, with too much complexity going on in the environment, would bring me down to frame rates of 1/second…or less..

Now, it is smooth, playable, uninterrupted with more complex sequences playing, and at mostly maximum settings ( I prefer the bloom to the HDR, it seems..) in addition ( before it was mostly low settings.) Sorry I don’t have a proper frame rate number for you’s. It’s not something I have bothered to keep a close eye on in games for quiet awhile now, for perhaps reasons more understandable now. xD
