I was surprised with Far Cry 2. It's very playable with an 8800 GTS 512 on Very High. It looks quite nice as well.

WAR looks pretty nice, in my opinion.

I always hear people ragging on WoW's graphics, but personally I think they are fantastic. They have a nice sense of scale and the art direction is, in typical Blizzard fashion, excellent.

It appears that the benchmark machine is being CPU-limited in the Team Fortress 2 test.

Logitech MX518. Best mouse I've ever used.

On my 7900GT, I've found that disabling dynamic shadows and shadows gives the best compromise in terms of performance and visual quality. I'm able to play with every other setting on max (except AA) with those settings turned off at 1680x1050 and maintain around an average of 45 FPS, which is great.

Nice.

This game can't come out soon enough. I've been having a ton of fun with the demo, especially in the editor.

Win.

Not as big an improvement as I was expecting.
