Bought DmC from Steam. Great game so far. Seems like a step into next gen consoles: playing it on Max settings on PC, while being still a 100% console game with respect to controls.
Gameplay reminds me of latest Castlevania gameplay a bit.

No, it's new. All new. No remake. I like it a lot. But you need gamepad imo!

Finished DmC...basically in one sitting...great game, great graphics (except poly count), great combat and fine action. Story ok as well!
Steam says 7h total. Which is a bit on the short side imo (typical for Ninja Theory games!).

I'm playing Morrowind (Elder Scrolls 3). As a Nerd Acrobat. Also have several other older games in progress. Eternally I imagine.
Oh and Farming Simulater (newest) which I recommend.
My "state of the art" pc I built 8 years ago (fx-60,x1900xtx,liquid cooled) for $3K, is long in the tooth now apparently (won't make that mistake again). Most new games won't play (Two Worlds 2, Mafia 2)...A few do...(eg) Newest Deus Ex. Frankly I'm afraid of going further, since I LOVE my older games that I already own copies of and my current PC will already not allow me to play "Chaser" or "Undying" or "Soldier of Fortune"..

Why not I played undying on a voodoo2, Soldier of Fortune on a geforce 256 (its based on the quake 2 engine) and chaser on a geforce 4200ti and still play them on a win7x64 6950 pc
the newest of those games chaser (2003) came out 3 years before your gfx card
I still have all of those games installed,

Played some BLOP2 to get some double XP. I realized that somehow vsync is broken in this game. Without vsync, I get 120Hz+ according to the ingame fps meter typically over 150. But with vsync, I got fluctuating 60Hz, like in the range of 50-60Hz. Frequent drops to 55Hz through out the game. Someone knows what the issue is?
Furthermore, just bought the weekend steam deal: Hitman Absolution for only 17Euros...can't resist, allthough I'm not much into stealth games. Hope that gamepad support is good...

Hope you got some ENB mod for that Skyrim...If you think it looks fantastic without, your mind will be blown with it

Nope. Guess I'll have to look that one up. All I have is the hires textures from steam.
Here are few pics from when I used to play skyrim. From what I remember I used
Forcewithin ENB
Skyrim 2K HD textures
Lush grass & Trees
and I know other ENB MODS can look even better.
Depends on how many options you want to use with the ENB mods as well. On my old C2D/5770 system I couldn't use SSAO or DoF but with my 3570k/7870 I can use whatever I want without serious punishment. At that resolution I'm not sure though as I only play in 1680x1050.
The one I used I chose because of the minimal impact on performance it had, no clue if that is still case with it and I was using a AMD 6950 @1080P.
Dual 680's shouldn't have any problems running any of the ENB's I have seen.
How ever, Head over to Nexus Mods and check out the ENB descriptions and comments and what not.

Smite open BETA. Basically a 3rd person behind the shoulder DOTA type of game.
It's pretty cool. I never could get into DOTA due to the micro needed (last hits, denies, mouse to move camera, etc.). But I always liked the concept.
This one makes it much more accessible. I guess some could call it a dumbed down DOTA type game. But I'm still having a lot of fun with it.
But it certainly reminds me of my age. I've noticed that when the adrenaline starts pumping for me now, my aim gets unsteady. Definitely not the competitive FPS player that I was over a decade ago.
