tf2 is alot more cpu-demanding than it is gpu-demanding. i'm not sure you'd get such a huge boost by upgrading only your gpu. if you're upgrading for just tf2, i would probably not bother. you won't get money's worth, i think.

they're right:
go to the "Adjust desktop size and position" tab.
there, you can select "Full-screen", which means that whatever resolution you select in-game, it will get stretched to fill it all up.

and i've read that "Perform scaling on: Display" is supposed to the better-performing one, but haven't really read up on why this is supposed to be true.

thank you both for replying :) appreciated

i guess i'm buyin', then.
and i'll probably ragequit soon because i'm just fckn' terrible at fps games,
but the market is absolutely flooded with shit games and we gotta support the proper ones ;p

fantastic combo :)

though; whether or not i'd recommend it would depend on personal preference and goal(s).
i make music (not professionally) and thus the incredibly flat, neutral sound that this combo provides, is just perfect.
another pro is that the experience of listening to good music is, really, drastically amplified.
(when i say 'good music', i mean tracks with good (well engineered) samples, tracks that are well mixed, well mastered, well recorded...)

a considerable downside here is that bad/mediocre tracks can actually (properly) annoy you, and thus can lose their value.
there are plenty of tracks that i am very fond of, but just not going to listen to with this combo.

alot of people say/feel/think the hd800 is 'hard to drive', but that's simply because the headphones themselves are so neutral. these people tend to prefer these nice (often expensive) tube amps that colour the sound, to compromise that flat, neutral sound of the hd800.
if you're immensely rich, then why not.. but for most of these people, i'd have rather recommended them to use something like the hd600/hd650 + odac + o2, just so they'd end up (alot) cheaper than going for something like the hd800 with some $2000+ amplifier. (random examples)

so, i wouldn't recommend the hd800 to someone who's 'planning' on colouring the sound with an amplifier. it defeats the purpose of a significant aspect of the hd800. this is also why i like this particular combo so much; the o2 'respects' what the hd800 is trying to achieve: not colouring the sound.

TLDR: it's situational!
listen to a well-mixed track with well-recorded vocals and well-recorded violins; your ears will be jizzin'.
listen to a 'bad song'; you might delete that track and shoot yourself in the face.
this combo works well for production. of course speakers are better, but are also (way) more expensive, and require your room to not be shit (for audio).

(bonus: you wouldn't like the sound in tf2 too much. especially vocals.)

what kind of frames per second can i expect with my i5-2500k / GTX 670 and a fps-config?
(cpu not overclocked)

that's right valve. removing your crap.

"Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra"
woah, pretty damn dope

i sincerely hope that any changes they make - relative to the original - won't change the 'feel' of the game.
because i've played a few remastered games before, and some of them just weren't the same after the devs just had to change a few things around that ended up downgrading the overall experience.
i suspect some devs feel forced to 'update' some things so that people feel like they have a 'legitimate' reason to buy a game a second time.

but with most games that're nostalgic to me, all i really want is compatibility with nowadays hardware, and optionally some bug-fixes and additional optimisation.

anyway.. [/rant]
i'm orderin'!

you could file away a bit of the plastic, i've done so before on mice.

impressive! and a very cool style you have.

edit: looked at some of your other work at the prior page as well. your style reminds me of the work of Anthony Francisco Schepperd.
if you're into animation, then i suggest checking out this video which features his animated art: http://vimeo.com/33415528
and another great music video he's animated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEYRBTZWu8U

and i presume you know Zdzisław Beksiński. if not, look him up i'd say. could mean some good inspiration! he was fantastic :)
