9600gt alpha dog OC vs Grid race driver/fraps/50 sites etc

my 3rd race at this game, still being noob as hell though

settings: 1680x1050 4x AA whatever, all high except medium reflections and no blur motion.
50-60 fps during the races.
using fraps in replays brings it back to about 25-30 fps

I was running creative mediasource in the background to use my own music ( dir en grey)
running about 50 lolifox tabs, msn, uploads at the same time.

3dmark 2003 benchmark: 37000+
(751/1011)
temperature during the game: 70-76 degrees celcius.

asus p5b deluxe/ intel e6600/ creative x-fi xtreme gamer/ 4gb of ddr2-800 ocz ram.
yes..im not rich like maxishine or trubritar. still using the old stuff.

@george3dmax and look at the date when i posted this video. 29 june 08 ;p

i'm now using a gtx275 for a while, with a q6600, and 8GB ram, and i changed my velociraptor to an corsair f120 SSD

yo bro can i know wats the percentage you set for your gpu fan to get temp at 68c-70c

[X41N3]

I have it set to automatic fanspeed, so its running at 80-100% in game.

The max temp i saw it getting was 76C with extra overclock.

#note: this is a pre-overclocked card from xfx.

erm me and the guys had a look and we thought we'd say that great cpu and grfx cards are only as good as the ram you put between them?

for instance the frontside bus speeds of the cpu must mach the ram speed or you will find that a bottle neck might occur on route to gfx crd 1066 will be the magic number! as opose to 2gb!

go custom go cutom!
