Lol ah guys, I think you are missing the obviouse. 3dMark 2001 is a directx 8 benchmark. The bottleneck is probably the processor not the video cards, why the score has dipped a bit I am not to sure, and who cares!. Use at least 3Dmark 2003 or 2005, and biff 2001 as its to old to use as a...

Another weird part. "• Connecting Device for CrossFireT--Only one display while enable Cross-Fire" That text in the AGP specs at the bottom of the page. I seriously doubt crossfire will be available in AGP lol.

Can't see a post on this so... This may be a typo and the exact model does not seem clear either, however I am sure there will be a number of happy people if it turns out to be true. http://www.diamondmm.com/X1800256PCI.php "ATI Radeon® X1800 • Memory: 256MB DDR • Slot: AGP or PCIE...

Well,I see you covered other things. How about a defrag of both your system drive and BF2 drive if you haven't already? I have also seen BF2 run a lot better after a defrag, it is more effected by this than other games as well. 100% CPU usage is common during almost all high end games, I...

Is your 6800U vid card AGP? If it is PCIE then ignore this as it wont effect you. If so check the AGP aperture size in your bios. Make sure it is set to 256MB. For some ODD reason BF2 REALLY takes notice of this, and reading your post your problem sounds very similar. I started a thread...

I expeected to like F.E.A.R a lot more than Q4, but after completing Q4 and now about half way throguh F.E.A.R I have to vote Quake 4. Quake 4 AI is not as good as FEAR but it was more fun. Also hating the F.E.A.R graphics, a lot of it does "feel" half life 1, maybe got used to the Q4 no flat...

Yea I really do believe it, we have all got caught up in the higher resolution is best thing.

Its definately a ram related issue. When I had 1 gig it took maybe 10 secs to alt tab out of BF2. Now with 2 gig its like alt-tab out of notedpad(fast). Yesterday I Alt-tab out of Fear to brows, got sidetracked, came back and lauched Quake4 which launched only slightly slower. I did realise...

There is no built in timedemo in Q4 like there was in Doom3 etc.

Did you change the batteries?

I believe Quake 4 to be generally stable. I suggest if you are ovelocking you Vid card or CPU, you revert them back to default and test for an hour. I believe some people are having overclocking instability issues in Q4, as I and most don't have any problems, unlike say BF2 where tons of people...

I have an Xbox and a PC. I find console games generally less entertaining for shorter periods of time. I believe console games are "generally" enjoyed more by younger people. Consols are useless for PFS and RTS games due to there controllers, the two classes I enjoy most. Consols are...

No crahes at all, not even once about 7 hours into it ish. Overclocked 6800GT, Overclocked A64 300 @2.6gig. I was thinking how stable it is.

That's Exactly what I did started on 1280x1024, then went up. It got uglier, went up again and it looked worse. Went down to 1024x768 and it looked the best with 800x600 looking crap. I think people are getting stuck on "higher resolution is always better" and honestly Quake 4 looks less...

Am I the only one that believes this game looks better in 1024x768 than any of the higher resolutions? I am not talking about frame rate or AA, I am talking about the overal look. I belive it ugles up the higher you go. It looks like the textures were designed for this resoulution and it...
