Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

I haven’t got to log on last week at all, just for a little bit on Thursday while I was waiting for the fedex guy who was delivering my new computer and some on Saturday night.

Speaking of my new computer, it is awesome!  So far it has been pretty easy going with it.  I got it all setup and running SC2 the first day, which looks fantastic turned up full blast   I’ve installed a few other games, STO and Dawn of Discovery.  I got WoW installed but didn’t really get to tackle getting it configured until the weekend.  Then I ended up working again which disrupted that.  In the end I decided to tune my UI a little so I spent a lot of time fiddling with addons.  It isn’t quite done yet but I’ve got a usable UI.

Got in a 25man raid with Inien on Saturday.  I had kind of an annoying headache from working that day but I was bound and determined to do something fun.  Inien keeps trying to resolve his graphics problems in raids.  His card which is just as fast as mine should be rocking WoW but there is some sort of odd bug keeping it from doing it.  We wondered if I was going to have the same problem.  He has the ATI 5870 and I ended up going with the Nvidia 480.  To my relief with WoW settings maxed on ultra the card kept my framerate at a constant 60fps except in the largest of AOE spam where it dropped to about 45.

It looks fantastic fully turned up as well.  I should be ready for any Cataclysm improvements now as well.  With vsync turned on it only pushing the card about 40%.  I initially had ideas of over clocking everything but it is all so fast I’m not sure I am going to even bother at this point   Completed the remaining part of my plan yesterday getting a DVI KVM (which cost way too much) and a wireless adapter for the PC as the internet sharing thing I was doing with the Mac was causing some funky things.  Now I just got to get my keyboard squared away so I can take screenshots

Anyways hoping to have some adventures this week.  Need to try and get the weekly done today and some VOA’s if possible.  Hoping to pick up my 4 piece bonus by the end of the week!
