FOV?

Field of View, its a setting on the graphics tab, had the distance between me and the screen wrong.

So, maybe that is why i seem to have a limited FOV as it's probably not set correctly!

Hey All,
Trying to complete my triple screen setup and was making myself crazy about which video card to use.
I wanted to originally go with nVidia but the hardware forum confuses me. Anyway, any of you running 1 nVidia card - and which model?
I'm not able to run SLI due to my MoBo not having the right kind of port for a second card. Some of the nVidia that are recommended (GTX 680/690) are rather expensive.
Would the 700 series work for me? Or does someone recommend AMD card - or what???
HeLp!

I just bought a NVIDIA GTX770 4g, card is amazing, just set up 3 screens last week, running highest graphic setting with no issues.

Why not just switch out the MB? Sell what you already have via a fleabay swaparoo (sort of?).

I got a gtx770 2gig
And it runs real nice on my three screens with just some minor details off ... Pretty close to maxed out

I need three screens. Didn't make practice tonight. Were most folks in the 59-02 range again?

Would something like this work? - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125443

As it's significantly cheaper - $189 what am I losing or how would it compare to the two mentioned above?

I ran a 1:58.783 - (Optimal 1:57.6xx) and was pretty happy about that. But I get too wild trying to get near my optimal so it ends up not happening.

That's fast. What were the other times? We only had a few people into the 58s in the sessions we ran before. Looks like I have some work to do before Wednesday if I can find the time.

Next fastest time was half a second behind. I think positions 2-5 were all in the 59's.

The top 7 were between 58.7 and 59.9. It's going to be a very exciting race Wednesday.
T1 at least has some room here. I don't remember T1 from the first race as to how crazy it was. I think it was T2 & T3 where all hell broke loose.

I was just happy to be in the middle of the 59's, I don't know why but I seem to be faster in the dark than in the daylight, maybe I should race more with my eyes closed :-)
