    I am currently playing MOH:Tier 1, I think its a better game than COD and there arent any of the bugs that COD has. Playing it with settings maxed on a M17x with dual 9800gt's, 2.5 ecu, 4 gigs ram. Avg 55fps with max temp of 92 on master card (once).

    Ive also been playing Bio-Shock 2 and Star Wars II both work great due to their SLI coding, gorgeous games avg 60FPS, max temp of cards 88.

    I started to play the new Fall Out, great game and again great visuals but I dont have the time to realy play such a in depth game. Again its been optimised for SLI so it runs flawlessly, I run it with max setting, no HDR or bloom at 1280 res.

    I was playing the new NFS quite a lot. Only use one card since it doesn't support SLI. I am getting 35-50 fps under max settings with 1920 res. My spec X9000 @3.6G, 4 gigs ram and dual 8800m gtx.

    Mostly playing NBA 2k11 nowadays and it runs quite well. A little laggy when at the centre of the court as the crowd rendering is quite taxing. Beyond that, my m15x is more than good enough to play any game I need it to :)
