    On Lich King on my 7811 (1920x1200) I get about 40 and in Scourgehelm/Pinnacle 3rd boss I get about 12 :(. usually I'm averaging about 30-40 though with almost max settings.

    TF2 I get about 60-100 I believe it fluctuates depending on action.

    Turn down your view distance just a tad, they doubled the view distance in the expansion and IMO it was completely useless. I ran utgarde pinnacle last night and Avg'd about 50 the whole run. What drivers are you using?

    This is a very cool thread and I hope we continue it. Since I'm 'mostly' sitting a a stock setup I'm VERY interested in what folks are getting on their games.

    Of late I'm running Fallout 3. Being quite worried about playability I took the default setup of 'high' and whatever it gave to me at max resolution, 14x9. I took AA and ani to 0 and left HDR on.

    I took off the smoothing effects because (and I've mentioned this a few times before) for me personally I'm enjoying the heck outta this system and I've been unable to play games of any value for many many years. I like AA and anis (HL2 comes to mind, as does Doom 3) but this 'modern' game I was worried it'd kill me and I can live without out. The whole experience with FO3 is mind blowing.

    FPS average 30-38. Highs in the upper 50's and occasionally a low in the 20's. Never thought to myself that I can't play this game and from a primarily stock config.

    I'll second that. I was happy to get FarCry (the original) to run with decent results on a desktop system that won't even run 3DMark06 (AMD Athon x2 3200 w/ATI 850XT 256) Now I'm thinking about loading FarCry on my 7811 just to see how pretty it would be now! I get tingly just thinking about it. :D
