Both my 5870's are here !!!! Updated with some benchies.

UPS man just got here, here's some pics for you guys. I will have them installed shortly.

Then I will post some numbers, and more pics. Didn't know battlestations Pacific came packaged, pretty cool. Also, I have an extra copy of Dirt 2 if someone wants the serial code.... maybe I will give it out lol. No promises!

Well, the 8800GT512 was just a fill in card from my friend until I got these....I did have 3X48701GB, so actually it is only a moderate increase for me...

1920x1200 4xAA and 16AF in every game.

Btw, I just did a couple minutes of Crysis Warhead, and some preliminary results: constant fps between 30 and 45, even in heavy action.

Also, anybody know if it is normal for my CPU to only be used about 25% maximum during Crysis ?

OK here is a totally random contest we can get going.....

My favorite band is August Burns Red, a rather unknown band btw.

Who can tell me my favorite song on their 3rd CD 'Constellations" ???

There are only 12 songs to choose from, so there can only be 12 maximum guesses. One guess per person, and you'll probably need to google them to get info on the CD itself. Only guesses in this thread will count, first person to get it right, I will email them the CD key to DIRT 2. Good Luck!

And while you're all at it, go check out their music, they are pretty sweet.

Let the games begin.

EDIT: In case two people guess the same answer, I will take the first one chronlogically.

Very Nice! Keep the info coming. Are you using VSync (or any other specialized settings in CCC or in game)? Also, have you gotten a chance to compare your results with any sites (if any) that have a similar setup? (just to make sure yours/theirs is running top notch.) Awesome to finally see them out in the wild.
