    I just thought I'd pop up a quick thread to see what games 2090 owners have found themselves able to play right out of the box. I've scoured through the Gaming section without a whole lot of luck in nailing down posts specific to the Sager 2090.
    If there's a thread started already that anybody knows of, I'd happily check it out. I didn't buy my 2090 with the soul intent of playing games on it...but I'd be happy to know what I could throw on here without having to perform surgery on my hardware.

    Thanks, Walt

    MS Flight Simulator 2004 ( FS9 ) with maxed sliders. 169.04 Drivers. I know this simulator is more CPU intensive than GPU but the T7700 and 8600gt suites this game well. It runs very smooth and no heat issues.
    Also run Photoshop CS3 smooth as butter and very fast.

    Thanks. You're running the exact same setup as my notebook. I'm noticing that alot of the latest games are stating support for many graphics cards, but the 8600 GT isn't one of them. I'm especially interested in DiRT.
    I really don't have the patience for games like BioShock and Call to Duty, which seem like the genre of the majority of the latest games available.

    NSF Carbon - Everything maxed
    UT3 Demo - Everything set to high
    AOE3 - Everything maxed
    Civ4 - Everything maxed

    You can assume AA x2 where applicable. All these game run good to great with the game settings listed.
