Yep... its pretty awesome.








Tremulous Timedemo:  
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...

so yeah it works fairly well.  ^_______^

Congratulations OverFlow! Let's hope it does not make you forget the framerates on Siege even more!  :roll:

Meh, i tried one, and it is slower than a Mac Pro, which is a really good gaming system. Buy, install bootcamp, play. There ya go.

∧OMG ENTROPY∧

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).

Nice rig, so is the case being auctioned off?

Paradox

Oh and their cases look butt ugly, and are a pain in the ass to mod.

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

(.......wow.......)
I heard that alienware has one of the best pc's. I would commit a crime for such a computer :D

Basilisco

Impressive, but.. how much bigger will they make the eyes??!!

Lava Croft

All those people dissing your new rig are just jealous, OverFlow! Including the people moaning about your OS!  :roll:

A_Total_noob

Wow-
it looks like you have 960fps more than me on ATCs  :P

Ill get a Mac Pro soon though, so we can commence the battle of the beasts !
lawl, people still play Tremulous ?

tuple

I've got to see this machine more closely!

Where do you live again? :P

DarkRogue

sweet merciful crap. I thought the whole point of technology was to make computers SMALLER. Soon alienware will be shipping room sized mainframes as desktop computers :P
