<0> for 500 then another 350 its crazy money
<1> yeah
<0> does alot of the newer games need all that?
<1> the xtx 1900 are a little over 600$ a piece and people running them in crossfire would spend over 1000$ just on video
<1> well
<2> no, that's overkill for most games.
<1> if you want to run @ 1600x1200 and have the 16xAF 8xAA then you need it
<1> with HDR enabled
<2> a single decent card from 250-300 will give you gaming pleasure.
<0> 16xaf / 8xaa?
<0> hdr?
<3> Nerp: You can get gaming pleasure from an MSI NX6600 for 139.99
<1> anistropic filtering and antiliasing
<1> makes the graphics better
<0> ok its just been a while
<2> sure, but if you want to play the latest games at the highest settings you need to pay at least $250 or so
<3> I have a 400 dollar vidoe card that runs COD2 at higheset settings, but that's 800x600
<2> why so low res? what card?
<3> 6800gt
<1> i gave 300$ for my 7800gt.. it does pretty well. i sustain 60fps in quake 4 on high settings... in half-life2 i see 180-200fps and the low is like 60fps
<4> 6800gts are like $200 now
<1> in the HDR enabled hl2 it dips to 35fps and goes up to 120
<2> likewise eneerge
<3> My gaming card (7800GTX 512MB) does COD2 at 1280x1024 maxxed out
<0> HDR?
<2> the 6800gs is inexpensive and very good for what you're paying
<1> high dynamic range
<3> as for AA/AF: http://www.tweaktown.com/document.php?dType=guide&dId=601&dPage=2
<2> it's a lighting effect
<1> its a lighting feature they recently came out with
<4> its ownage
<3> wait
<3> wrong link
<3> http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,548248,00.asp
<1> yeah it's pretty nice
<2> yeah it adds a nice bit of realism
<2> its very taxing on video cards tho,
<2> a mid-to-low range card will show its weaknesses with HDR enabled.
<3> lol, my friend Sam is a moron
<3> He pointed out that his 9600se has only a very slightly lower core clock than my old 6800gt
<0> i had an old ati 64ddr when i had my old pc
<3> So I pointed out that I had 4 times the pipelines :)
<1> hehe
<3> and a WAY faster memory
<1> and your memory speed is faster
<1> the g71 i thinks going to have 32 pipes
<1> should own the x1900s
<0> what kind of price?
<3> I had this kid, one of our gamers, Mr. John McClane.
<3> That's his gamer tag
<4> my 6800gt box which i consider mid end handles hdr fine
<4> in nfs mw at least
<3> He comes into the shop bragging about his new <insert hardware here> and I'll say "How much did you pay for it?" He says "NOTHING! My dad bought it for me!"
<1> the g71 (probably will be called the 7900gtx) will probably be around 700-750$ when it first ships
<0> damn ill wait
<3> So I say "Then you don't have ****. Your daddy is letting you BORROW is <insert hardware here>"
<1> hehe
<3> Anyone here play COD2, Halo or BF2 online?
<1> i play cod2 last night
<1> played
<0> bf2?
<4> cod2 online ****s
<1> i didnt do worth a ****
<3> Ever palyed against someone with "RVA" in their tag?
<4> i got bored of bf2 months ago
<4> and halo is ****
<1> i usually own everyone but i was playing horribly last night
<1> havent played it in a couple weeks
<3> Either -=RVA=-<tag>, <tag>-RVA or [RVA]-<tag>?
<1> deak: nope
<0> BF2?
<4> nope
<3> That's my clan I'm in
<1> battlefield 2
<0> o
<4> clans are retarded
<3> It's a local clan
<4> so many clans ask me to join
<4> i end up quitting every one of them
<1> your clan or you're just a member?
<3> We keep getting kicked out of servers because of -=RVA=-Toucan
<4> because its just retarded
<3> EneergE: I'm one of the higher-ranking members
<4> i got kicked out of a server once for shooting down a jet with a tank
<4> hahaha
<4> in bf2
<3> This guy Toucan keeps talking **** to the admins in servers and getting everyone in the server named RVA kicked out
<4> LOL
<4> sounds like a great clan
<1> heh
<3> I'm -=RVA=-Trojan on COD2, and Trojan-RVA on Halo and BF2
<1> vote him off
<3> Toucan pissed me off, and I happened to need a serial for a piece of software
<1> i'm EneergE
<1> what servers do you play on
<3> So I closed AVG and ZoneAlarm on his machine, and fired up IE to get my key :)
<3> He had to reformat he had so many virus
<3> viruses*
<3> Killers Hope, Army of None, Predators Alliance and Cereal Killers are my favorite COD2 servers
<3> speaking of which
<1> heh
<1> i have to write a ****ing research paper
<4> that guy is tehh nub
<4> have fun
<4> i dont!
<4> LOLOLOLOL
<1> it's about cause & effect or something i got to argue about
<1> im going to argue that ghz is not what gives a computer speed and tell why were going to dual core now instead of raising ghz
<4> nah yo
<4> were still raising ghz
<4> I dont need dual core yet :P
<4> no uses for it for me
<4> i dont multitask a lot
<4> but im a heavy gamer
<4> i can get a single core proc much faster
<1> hmm
<4> thats why I went with the amd 64 4000+ for my new righ
<4> should be able to hit 3.0ghz
<4> possibly over 3
<1> yeah
<1> but ghz isn't the key factor in speed though right?
<1> im going ot have to come up with some info... do you know the real reason behind going to dual core?
<4> no ghz doesnt really mater
<4> matter*
<4> thats why intel 3.4 ghz is slower than an amd 2.2ghz
<0> what is sli on these new mobo's
<5> Is anyone able to search for images at netvue.com anymore?
<6> Buon Appetito Ny Pizza <- anyone ever eat at this place?
<1> no
<0> later
<7> anyone now about a good software that can convert powerpoint files to swf or avi?
<1> can someone give me some links that explains what the differences in intel chips and amd chips are? Reasons why amd performs better at lower clock rates than intel. Also the reason for going to multiple cores on chips instead of raising clock speed more
<8> I got a question about making a dvd more playable by copying/customizing prohibited user options (PUOs): sometimes I can't click along the timeline when a dvd item is playing and sometimes I can. now I tried to remove all ifo PUOs and I checked the VOB PUOs with Vobedit. on byte 35 it always says 00000 so theres no vob puos. how can I make the timeline clickable ?
<9> reason for dual cores is plain and simple.. 2 brains think better than one
<10> What prebuilt dealers do payment plans??
<11> they have both
<12> what bandwidth are you talkinga bout?
<12> There's a lot of different kinds of bandwidth
<12> for gamers it gets more and more moot
<12> thing called a PPU
<11> if i have streaks is it a problem of toner or drum
<12> pretty soon the CPU is gonna be the monkey that presses the button.
<1> k
<1> dual core chips are nearly twice as fast as single core chips in multithreaded apps aren't they?
<1> at the same clock
<12> depends
<12> can be
<12> depends on the multi-threading
<12> also, a 64 bit CPU runs 64 bit programs twice as fast as a 32 bit program
<12> so
