What hardware do you use?

This may potentially help our with some sponsorship for SEA tournies so please vote honestly and answer in details if possible

Curious about the hardware we starcraft 2 gamers use.

Fyi (AMD bought over ATI some time ago and in their new GPU series ATI will be dropped from the name and replaced with AMD)

Here's 10 pages of the fps tested between different cards. Anti-aliasing kills it.

Precisely
If I'm not streaming, I can run ultra all goods but yea with our hardware, its very much possible to stream at high settings (at quite a good bitrate+resolution) with no probs

Mine:

1. Intel Q6600@3.456ghz
- Radeon 4850 512mb

2. Intel i5 750@4ghz
- Geforce 460 768mb

both run sc2 at ultra on 1920x1200 fine in 1v1s and 2v2s. the older comp lags a little in 4v4s.

Intel Quad Core Duo Q9400

NVIDIA GeForce 9600GS

High settings get 20-25 average fps so its better to play medium for online :\

I'm guessing the card is the bottleneck

I built this baby a few years back now; it's nothing especially flashy, but for under $1000 it was nothing short of fantastic. Still is, really. Pulling 62 FPS on 'High' settings, and 25-30 on 'Ultra' with 'Extreme'.

Runs the game on ultra easily. Has plenty of overclocking potential im just bottlenecked in the RAM department.
