Point well taken mate.

Re: New System is Here: Will it run SF???

wished i had that much money to spend on a rig. are those 512 or 256 cards. and is it worth my money to buy the 7800GTx 256 card

Sorry, they are 256 each. I kept thinking of my old vid card which only had 128. :laugh:

This rig cost me close to 3 Grand - decided to splurge some of my bonus on myself instead of my wife. :laugh:

BF2 also did not "support" older Nvidia drivers, but I used the 66.93 drivers until i was finally able to upgrade to WinXP and get the most recent Nvidia drivers working correctly.

"Official" support and what actually works are two different things.

clearly you did not see the sarcasim in that post

Sarcasm on the internet is a fragile thing.

Re: New System is Here: Will it run SF???

Well that´s totally making sense, asking people wether SF will run fine while you already got your system and will know in a few minutes anyways.
People could think you just want to brag about "your hardware" :laugh:
But that is not the case riiiight?

To add insult to injury: With the 1.12 patch you can´t be sure that SF will run fine on any comp, as there´s something that makes BF2/SF a slideshow for a lot of people, even with 7800 SLIs and stuff.

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed???

Re: New System is Here: Will it run SF???

Built a very similar system for a friend week before last:

4000+ Clawhammer 2.6Ghz
Asus A8N Premium mobo
2 x eVGA 7800GT
2Gig Corsair XMS PC3200
Audigy 2 sound card
OCZ 520w Powerstream psu
2 x 250GB western digital s-ata hard drives
Nec dual layer DVD burner
Lite-on CDRW
Lian Li aluminum case

Cost right @ $2k (US)
Scored 10,8xx in 3DMark05 with no overclocking (despite my desire to crank it up).

Didn't get a chance to play SF on it but vanilla played SO smooth. The cards' driver was set to 8xAA, 16xAF, and the in game settings were maxed (AA off since driver was set to max already). Averaged around 80fps.

One day I'll build my own system to that level.

Re: New System is Here: Will it run SF???

Finally my new system has arrived:

Athlon 4400 Dual Core 22GHz
Abit Fatal1ty Mobo
550 Watt PSU
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream Case
2x 7800 GTX in SLI (125mb each)
2 Gigs of low latency RAM with metal heat sinks (Corsair)
2x 250 gig SATA II drives (raid 0)
1x 250 gig SATA I storage drive
Klipsch 2.1 THX sound system
2405FPW LCD

Scored a 3Dmark05 score of 11,275! (no overclocking!)

Pretty stoked - now I'm downloading patch 1.12 to see if SF will work without a hitch. Thanks guys for all your input!

You have the same machine I'm about to have running in a couple of days, except I will have one GT instead of 2 GTX's, and a 4200 dual core instead of a 4400. (different mobo too) But don't expect too much as far as performance. Don't set yourself up for disappointment. This game selectively just doesn't run well sometimes. Don't worry, it's not your machine. And SF is a GREAT game. Just be prepared to have to turn some stuff down. You'll thank yourself for it because you'll enjoy the game more. I'm not building my new machine for this game, I'm building it in anticipation for some of the really awesome stuff that will be released next year.
