If you like a lot of AA in your games then join our club ( to be sung to the tune from the advert)

Now all you need to do is strap an HR-03 Plus onto that baby and watch those temps drop!

I'm so glad I got the 8800GTX when I'm playing Bioshock at 1920 with everything maxxed! It's so amazing, I keep getting distracted from the game just to look at the graphics

I think i need to get this Bioshock you speak of. im bored with CM Dirt.

The ability to use 8xSSAA in more than a few games without a hitch. Haven't even tried out 16xAA yet as 8xSSAA is more than enough for me. Might have an experiment later. Been very busy so have barely had a good test on it yet

16xCSAA should work a treat on that. I use 8xCSAA in most things on my 8800GTS but I remember you having problems when it came to memory limitation when you had the 320MB model.

Needless to say, you won't have that problem anymore.

Yea but can you use 8xAA with Supersampling in most titles?. This is what I am using atm.

No not with supersampling, when I said I use 8x I meant I usually use it on its own. I can use 8xCSAA with supersampling in older games like BF2 but for newer games I have to cut back a bit to something like either 8xCSAA on its own or 4xMSAA with supersampling (Oblivion etc.)

If the GTX can do 8xCSAA and supersampling in recent titles then it might indeed be worth me getting one!

Correct I have tried a few games and it seemsed using 8xAA with Super was pretty achieveable, I will try out a few others.

Nice one, let us know how it goes. It might fall on you to convince me into buying one.

Any particular games you would like me to test?. Im not doing much tonight so I can give a few a whirl!

If you have Oblivion on then let us know what the max settings are you can run comfortably (with vsync on.)

Mainly also interested in LOTR Online but I don't think you have that one.
