Yeah i know there are restrictions.. and with the upcoming UT3.. patch.... whenever an official one does get around to being released..... hopefully they add a feature similare to that of FSAA for GoW... only without the stupid massive performance hits...
i didn't have very good results with the intel 975 chipsets ... course my msi board i was using probably wasn't a good example...
but i think it could be a source of the issue considering the 8x pci-ex 1.0 is used where the hd3870's make use of 16x pci-ex 2.0 which is considerably much more bandwidth and power being available to the video cards... (is it a huge effect on the performance... i don't know for sure)
all i know is that your running 1.9 million pixels at your resolution where as i'm running over 4 million and obtaining much higher performance apparently..
course your running a dou core.. and i'm running a quad core..
but that still doesn't make sense as even with the E6400 on the 975 chipset... and x1900xt crossfired, i was still getting fairly solid 45ish fps (quite often 60, but durring the more fire fights....) .... @ 2560x1600.....
try doing a search on google for "enable UT3 Precaching"
and no problem with the responce ....
