Post your computer specs / gaming rig!

Damn. Put's my machine to shame.

You just have to be willing to spend the time it takes to get a good rig built.

Enthusiasts aren't fazed by budgets. To an extent...

What kind of FPS do you get in Minesweeper?

[gamermanblue]

How do you check FPS? I have no idea what my FPS rate is

I've never used Minesweeper. Sorry.

I'm thinking about a new power supply and putting two AMD 6950's in Crossfire.

I do hope you are planning on water-cooling those GPU's.

What are the advantages for water-cooling? Besides the obvious I mean? Right now I have some big honking fans but I am running two Radeon 6970's. The gut who helped me put my rig together said that my fans would be enough.

Substantial increase in posterity and performance. There's a bit of an art to water-cooling, but more than worth the trouble.

I found this extremely helpful. Plus it would be a good idea to join those forums, they can help you out with just about anything computer tech-wise.

I am actually curious, if you care to tell. Probably depends on if you bought it to order, or built it yourself.... but what did that cost you. I was looking for a new PC last year, and due to travel, have to go with a laptop, so was sort of limited there. I did check out a monster desktop, a bit more than that, but it would have cost $25K. This would have been with 2 CPU, 4 GPU, and 4 HDD, 2 monitors, ect...

[Archea47]

Just upgraded my laptop (not my gaming rig) to a T9600 from T6400. Some of the best $80 I ever spent!

[Archea47]

Just replaced my Intel Core 2 Duo (2 year old laptop) T6400 (2.0Ghz, 2MB cache, 800mHz bus speed) with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8Ghz, 6MB cache, 1066mHz bus speed).

EDIT: Whoa - it's 2012! Make that an almost 3 year old laptop. By the way, I'm talking about the processor/CPU here

Not a gaming laptop, but it works. Can play Skyrim on medium (+high details) with no problems.
I love this laptop. It's fast, the screen is amazing and does what I need it to do.
I can't afford anything fancier.

About how much did that run you?

[Archea47]

Put an upgraded heatsink fan inside the laptop last night I wasn't able to find any documentation of anyone else doing the swap but found a fan with the same form factor and number of pins with a higher output and it works! Idle temperatures are 8* C cooler now

To be honest, I don't need this. I'm not playing anything right now, but I'm looking forward to get the spark to play Oblivion again, it surely will be amazing. maybe I even get a kick for Skyrim?

You know I had a computer around those specs when I was little.

Your rig can certainly do whatever it wants with Skyrim

I'd say so.
