Get a cooler and OC that chip of yours.. its had an easy life for too long :P

The dual 5970 is nothing special, kinda a waste of GPU for XIV.. it does not used the crossfire/SLI well at all, the coding is piss poor for that.

If I am using both cards, turn on all max settings, my GPU's get up to 100C, but running with my settings I have I barely reach 65C and I run the system 24/7. CPU never gets hot, the liquid cooling works well. I need to look into Liquid cooling my video cards but the cost and space just aren't worth a few FPS.

I got a really good deal on this computer, slightly used about $2400. I couldn't pass the deal up, too much power for the price. (Plus I was looking to upgrade anyways for XIV since in Alpha/Beta/Open Beta I could barely run the system on my old computer)

Anyone out there get 60FPS with Ambient On? I'm curious what beast would run this.

Well i whent to best buy and got me a AMD phenom 4 ( 4 core)
removed the shitty graphix card bought me a Radion HD5750

I play with just about everything on max setting if i try to go above max setting i get unable to detect direct X

With fraps i get 45~80 FPS ( depending where im at )

My total price tag was 750 for the PC and 120 for GPU so under 1k im happy with it , it works and thats all i care about lol

Nah, You have to play in full screen for crossfire/SLI to work, same with every game. I can max everthing with AA at 8x except turn on ambient on and it runs smoothly. I have to turn my settings down a bit when i play windowed since only one card gets utilized in windowed mode.

I am really curious to know which SLI profile you are using first off. Because this makes a really big differencce....

.... Oh as far as Nvidia 3D I have a 120hz monitor which I am sure you know you need, all I did was did the setup in the Nvidia Control Panel. Enable it. And after the game loads up press the hot key that is set in the control panel to play.

I tried to use a cut/paste profile that I found online from about 6 months ago, but I couldn't get it to load w/o an error.
Dismayed, I assumed this meant the game wasn't running in SLI, but when I did the benchmark the other day...I saw that both GPU's were running. 90-95% on GPU1 and 80-85% on GPU2. So whatever its doing...its the default settings. Now to be fair...I did this benchmark POST server shutdown and I haven't officially seen my GPU usage in game. Ill know in a couple days for sure what my in game usage is doing.

AS for 3d... interesting, I installed the glasses and tried to play the game. I didnt do the "CTRL+T". Maybe thats why they didnt activate 3d mode. Im looking forward to trying it. After all, thats why I got these glasses. And yes, I have a 120hz Alienware monitor.

That's the one!

Almost on max settings. But I do have a coolerpad under it because it'll run hothothot.

Ditto. I wont run mine w/o one. I got an extended warranty so the laptop runs 24/7.
At first I was nervous, but Im confidant that the machine stays really cool. I do a weekly check on the pad to make sure it works, and have my laptop shutdown at a relatively low Temp compared to a desktop.

Did you have to flash the bios on yours? I kept getting a GSOD/BSOD, was really really upset but turns out there's is a significant portion of the hardcore gamers out there have had to update the bios on their ASUS G73
