I did it last night with almost no FPS or performance drop. I was so happy and i noticed an immediate difference on how much better things looked.
All video settings on high (except for AA, none of that) and audio is on Hardware and High, EAX enabled.
SilverStone Temjin TJ06 (case, very nice and roomy)
P4 3.00 Ghz Prescott w/ Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu cooler (HT, 1mb L2 cache, socket 478)
2GB OCZ Value Series PC3200 (2 x 1GB)
BFG GeForce 6800 GT 256mb @ 370/1000
Samsung Spinpoint 160gb 7200rpm ATA internal drive
Hitachi 40gb 5400rpm external drive
SB Audigy 2 ZS sound card
Antec TruePower 430W PSU
ASUS P4SD-LA (cheap AGP mobo that came with my HP computer)
Sony SDM-HS73 17" LCD
HP keyboard
Microsoft intellipoint explorer optical mouse
Koss UR/29 headphones (soon to be much better ones)
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick
Yay now you can join the club and set them all to Ultra-HIgh........
I'm always confused by those who want more than 60fps since your eyes can't distinguish between frame rates speeds any higher than that.
60fps looks just like 999fps to your eyes. I guess its bragging rights though. :shrug:
Where did you hear that? Your eyes are capable of seeing much higher frame rates then 60. As a matter of fact, the higher the fps, the more fluid objects are percieved by the eye. Thats an old Gamers Wives' Tale. If that was the case, then why do the come out with better Vid cards, Monitors, Tv's, etc? Now maybe some people's Brains are too slow to distinguish the difference. That may be possible! (Yes, it was a low blow aimed towards my x-wife) LOL
LOL, good one stupid ultra high club. (IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!!) :laugh:
O but it does and ive posted pics in the media section. Much more detailed textures , more poly counts , more reflections of dynamic lighting form guns and explosions , More realistic smoke and fog effects etc etc etc.
My computer can handle all high with AA and get about 50-60fps, but I'd rather play on all low (with effects still on High, of course), and pull off that 90fps mark.
When it comes down to it, seeing things better won't make you a better player, but having a higher fps can certainly help match your reflects, =)

But can your monitor (if it can, it is a CRT i hope)? 90 fps on an LCD is useless.

From Wikipedia:
"Even with expensive monitors that can reach even higher frequencies, the effect is somewhat lost as the human eye has difficulty in perceiving differences in frame rates above around 50-60 fps. Indeed, this is why televisions operate at 50 Hz and 60 Hz with PAL and NTSC standards respectively."
But to be fair, I've found articles supporting your claims as well. Only they are written by laymen rather than Doctors. Why do video card manufacturers want higher FPS? Simple. Sales.
