Its my backup rig and it is actually suprisingly close on DX9 performance to my 9800GT (which also isnt very good) but it was $40 for the GX2. It runs GRID at 1600x1200 with 8x AA maxed out at 60 FPS.



See the PC I built for my dad has its 920 running stock...
Oh and I wanted to ask, why do people hate on people running older hardware? Its not even bad older hardware, its not that much slower than what people are running today. I mean a basic dual core (the first dual core to market actually) and two 7950 GTXs can run pretty much anything decently, it might not be the fastest thing ever but it it is certainly capable. I mean these cards are only about 8-10% slower than a 8800GTX which isnt that slow compared to todays cards. I mean a GTX 280 is only about 25% faster. Its not like it used to be where the 6800Ultra blew away the 5950, the 7800GTX blew away the 6800 Ultra, and the 8800GTX blew away the 7950 GTX...

Its getting to the point where there isnt even enough new games to truely tax the new hardware. Crysis on max 1920x1080 runs beautifully on my i7 920/GTX285 SLi rig. I run Crysis Warhead on high settings with 2x AA on the PD820/GX2 computer, and GRID and all Steam games on full. It is not incompetent as a gaming machine. I dont see why everyone has to ridicule someone because their pockets aren't as deep as everyone else. I have an e6300 that's waiting to go into this PC when I get a motherboard that will support it. And FYI this was posted from my PD820 / 7950GX2 PC.

Also FYI I used to post from an Athlon Thunderbird 800 when my main PC was down, this is an improvement. I also keep a fully functioning Celeron 1200 rig (the first PC I built), and a K6-2 450MHz rig (for Flight Sim 95 and Civ2)...

I just dont see the reason for the hate.
