Tremulous Timedemo (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3442):  
1024x768 default settings + r_smp 1
3067 frames, 32.9 seconds: 93.2 fps

Just running around by myself in atcs I hit 1000fps fairly often...

Alienware desktops are nice (if overpriced, i can build one with the same specs for about a grand cheaper) but whatever you do do not buy their laptops. I got the area 51m about two years ago (the 5500) and I have had nothing but problems with it, it constantly overheats and all they will do about it is tell me to "raise the rear of it, or use a cooling pad" which I have done, they have refused to replace the obviously broken fans (loud clicking noises) even though it is still under extended warunty, and of course if I open the case up and do it there goes my warrenty. It amazes me at just how good of technical support they have for desktops but don't even seem to car about the 5500 and 7700 laptop owners (if you search google there are tons of people with the same laptop and problems as me). I am trying to sell mine right now and build an AMD system (I can build a quad core system that still comes under the resale value of my laptop, alienwares deffinatly have resale value). I hope your experience goes better than mine (which it should, I have heard nothing but good about their desktop support).

My friend jury rigger his dell 4600 into an alienware case. Its freakin huge, I wish he would move it back it takes up all my desk space.  That pc is awesome, I have a question. Does your fps go down in transit on a full server?  or uncreation.  Or is that all because of the server.

I heard a rumor on the net that top Nvidia engineers with PhDs in quantum physics just recently came out with a quad core 8800 gpu powered by a 2000 HP cummins diesel motor with optional case mounting dual smoke stacks that can finally break the 30 fps uncreation barrier @640x480?  Is it true?

Just comparing the specs, I'd say the Mac Pro has a better cpu(s) and this computer has a better video card.  They run about the same price, and the one I got was free... so :P

The only game I've had any noticible slow down was Oblivion, at 1280x1024 8xAA everything on full.  I've tried battlefield2, supreme commander, company of heroes, all with everything on full at 1600x1200 res and 8xAA and no slow downs.  :o

Whaaaaaaat? You can run Supreme Commander without slowdowns at max/max settings? Even when there are huge battles and gazillions of units in the playing field?

Well, congratulations. Your PC totally rocks...  :eek:

*sobs some more over only a few frames per second on Supreme Commander, low/low, 1024x768 on his Athlon64 3500+, 1 GB ram, Ati Radeon x700, which isn't really a nonrespectable machine (apart from the RAM and the graphics card, probably) but it still runs awesome Supreme commander like crap.. sob*

Read the thread :P

I got the computer for free, from Alienware, because Trem won a contest.  Obviously one could make about the same computer (minus all the silly stuff you don't need) for more than a grand less, but it does take time and effort, and it still takes a crapton of money.  BUT I GOT IT FOR FREE so, I'm pretty happy.

Do you really need all of that hardware to run trem


No, I put all the stats about Trem in so that all the people here could relate to it.

The 90fps thing is based on a very computationally intensive timedemo for Trem, read the thread and you can see the next highest fps a computer got was 54fps...

Hey Overflow, you should buy the Fan Controller LCD for your Lian Li case.

http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?ItemID=338818

Silver aluminum beige, so it would fit perfectly with your case.

Very nice rig by the way.
