Runs fine for me on win 7 64 bit. If you run a bunch of mods you may want to run Large Address Aware Enabler for FO3 http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/6510 also Fallout Stutter Remover http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/8886 is a good idea too (needs FOSE http://fose.silverlock.org/ ) If you want to make it pretty, ENB http://enbdev.com/download_mod_falloutnv.htm

I gotta say.. Playing games like this... It's an entirely new and amazing experience... I really want to invest in a 120Hz monitor now. But at the same time... PC is king. I'm not even bullshotting, this is literally the way I play the games. In a few years when the GTX 900 series is out, consoles will be so fare behind. and we'll be playing their ports at 4k. It will be glorious.

60fps bitches.
This game is filling a void that hasn't been filled since I sold my 360 with PGR4 in 2008.
This is the thing... Any screens I've ever posted in here or in the bullshot thread are from me playing the game either with a locked framerate of either 60 or 30 fps (dependent on the game, level of downsampling, etc).
I cant go back now. The day I cant play a new game at bullshot settings is the day I upgrade.
I think normal tessellation still affects characters.

You're making me feel a little bit of buyer's remorse from buying my GTX 670 in the beginning of the year D:
Honestly though, it seems like an amazing card, but i'll probably wait till the 800 series. The 670 is able to play the majority of games at max, some at higher resolutions, and older/not really demanding games in 4k, so i'm ok

Yeah, waiting for the 800-900 series is definitely going to pay off, but I came from a 580, so it's similar to you waiting for the 800. I plan on getting the 980 equivalent if it comes out in two or more years. I like going by every other gen. If the jump this gen is anything to go by, the 800 series is going to kick some serious ass.

Get another 670 and SLI. Don't be shy.

Dunno about that. I always see people saying that using one card is always better than 2(microstutter, SLI profiles, etc), and price wise, here in Brazil, it would be better to sell my 670 and then buy a 780, for example. And there's the fact that i would have to look for the same model(Windforce 3, if i'm not mistaken), which is difficult to find nowadays.

I don't know how I manage 60 Hertz at 4k, but some games periodically have this black screen over them. In Skyrim, it's only when I'm in the menus, and the loading screens. In Vindictus it's everywhere. Same with Guild Wars. This might have something to do with my playing on a TV, though...

People who say there are issues with SLI are living in the dark ages or have had an encounter with Crossfire. I've been rocking it since December last year and have not had a single problem. Its been pure gaming bliss. High framerates, smooth gaming, bullshot quality is playable. I actually can't imagine stepping down to a single card. Of course, if you can afford to get a single card with the same level of performance that SLI can deliver then get that, but if not then SLI is very much a real and viable option in 2013.
You don't need an identical model of card BTW, you just need another 670 with the same RAM configuration (e.g. if you have a 2GB, get another 2GB version and if you have a 4GB, get another 4GB). If you have a windforce, I would actually recommend pairing it with a blower style cooler so that at least one card is pushing all of the hot air out of the case.
Anyway, enough chat... More screens (GTA IV ENB @ 2880x 1620):
Sorry about the jaggies on these, not got round to injecting SMAA as yet.

Fire you say?
I have such a backlog of screens its unreal so this is me basically unloading a few months worth of buildup. They call it a screengasm.

The 780 doesn't make the screenshots any more impressive
You could probably achieve the same screenshots if you enjoyed your games being a slideshow It is possible. It's also excruciatingly painful.You're making me feel a little bit of buyer's remorse from buying my GTX 670 in the beginning of the year D:

I have no misgivings about going SLI with 680s. Very rarely do I have any SLI related problems. Seems to scale quite well in a lot of games and I can definitely go much crazier than I could with a single 680. Though buyers remorse hit me right around when the Titan was released....

That's true, but at that framerate level, you'd have less instances of the scene to wade through. Like, if I have 12 fps and I spam my screenshot button, I'll have a smaller window of opportunity to get that perceft shot than with a smoother framerate. At least, that's what it felt like with my 580, playing C3 downsampled at 12 fps...

Yeah. It just sounded weird. Like the 780 make the quality better or something
But I know what he meant. Smoother FPS does make screenshots easier. Also, I know everyone and their brother probably took a similar Alan Wake screenshot. But playing through it again, I couldn't resist.

Yeah I should of clarified the idea of playing the game at 4K with a reasonable frame rate.
The 570 is really showing it's age whenever I try doing anything above 1080p with newer games.

I disagree. The 780 has 3gigs of VRAM. If you have 1gig card you're gonna have more problems getting nice IQ than just framerate. Also what Spazznid said.
My 1.5GB dual-GPU GTX 590 weeps at this conversation.
Not getting another x90 ever again now that I'm more informed. I just bought it when it came out because I was building a new PC at exactly that time and I was like "Fuck, let's just get the best one they have".
In hindsight I should have went SLI 3GB 580s.
Also the GTX 590 is advertised as 3GB (1.5 + 1.5) but everyone knows you only have access to the VRAM of 1 GPU, so it's misleading. I didn't know that at the time.

I still didn't know that. What do you mean by that?

Would I be able to get anything for my 4GB GTX670 SC now that the 700 series is coming out? Kind of want to upgrade, such is the world of PC technology I suppose.

Around $300, which leave only a $100 gap to get the 770.

Think I might put it up sometime this weekend, do you have a recommended 4GB varient of the 770?

You'll be spending $150 for what will be a marginal improvement in performance, If you ask me, its madness. The 770 is just a rebranded 680 with a slightly higher TDP. It wont be worth the hassle of selling your old GPU and the outlay of cash. If you MUST upgrade now, get a 780/Titan or just get a second hand 670 4GB on the cheap and go SLI.

Depends on what your relative cost is. If going SLI is cheaper than selling and then purchasing a 780 I'd go with SLI to be honest. Performence wise, 670 SLI will be better by quite some margin and you'll have more VRAM (4GB) to play with for playing at crazy bullshot settings.
If I was in your situation I'd be hunting down another 4GB 670.
