...My CPU, however, is considerably faster (2.13 GHz Conroe)....

I'm not much in the know, but your all saying an Intel 3.2ghz processor is slower than a 2.13ghz.

Sorry, maybe I confused you by missing off the ghz.

Anyways, I can't get most games to run over 60fps. LFS will run at 80+ with all the settings as "let application decide" soon as I put antailising, anostrophic settings etc. up by somethings like x2 or x4, it will do around 45-50.

I've also had problems with the new Nvidia drivers (e.g. black textures, can no longer choose profiles, advanced options always crash)

My monitor can't display over 60fps, so I am after a card that can stay well above this rate enabling me to have all the settings up at a HD res, as the v-sync and triiple buffer makes games gorgeously smooth when the fps matches the refresh rate. Otherwise I get too much tearing due to the crapy response time.

Makes me curious how people can get such high frame rates.

Waiting for the 8 serious (not bothered waiting for a while) might be the wise choice, or better still, invest in a better LCD.

My system:
Intel 3.2
2GB DDR2 RAM
Sound Blaster X-Fi
Logitech 5.1 350w surround sound, wireless rear speakers
Dell 28" LCD TV
Nvidia 256 7800GTX
Logitech G5 gaming laser mouse
(When it arrives) Logitech G25

I still suffer from some lags in framerates and many other problems such as games crashing and black textures. I run nearly all games at 720p.

A whole re-format of my cpu and operating system was no good.

For the same price that I purchesed my 7800GTX graphics card, I can get a 7950GX2 1GB

Would the upgrade be worth the money?

Does anyone know if these card support DX10 when it arrives, or should I hold back and wait?

Has anyone actually used these cards or know of an alternative around £250-£400?

There is too many problems with my current GPU, I'm fed up with it and really annoyed that I should have waited an extra 10 months, my warrenty is now expired in all

Logitech G25 Steering Racing Wheel (PS2,PC)
==========================================================

Just a quick Gameseek email update to keep you informed on your order.

The G25 wheel is still to be released in the UK. We have spoken to our
distributors and Logitech all this week about the delivery and fingers
crossed we will be shipping the wheel next week. As soon as we get word
from them we will keep all you informed and let you know.

I don't beleive them, maybe there just after orders.

All other UK retailers say last week of October. I've got mine on pre-order with Gameplay and they seem pretty postive on there date.

I've not used gameseek before, I don't mind paying the bit extra with a supplier I can trust.

Its showing in the Gameseek chart on the homepage.

Just emailed them now.

Its a shame the fella can't drive well.

Just pre-ordered mine

Anyone now if the pedals will have FFB?

like in real life, vibrations up to the biting point on the clutch, break pedal stiffens when pressed then loosens as the brakes pads wear?
