    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Thread (Shadow of Chernobyl / Clear Sky)

    i have been playing the rusian version of clear sky and i am now up to the point of yantar (place with freedom base in SoC). the game does look incredible btw, and the alife system works wonderfully. inspite of the reviews i have read, the random faction battles/capture system works amazingly...

    R600 has 512-bit external memory bus

    yes, i mentioned that. what i was pointing out; the highest end cards at the time settled at $550 even after launch and this was well below that. there was a new memory architecture (ring bus) and gddr4 added and no real reason (from what i remember) for the "price-point" drop. the r600...

    R600 has 512-bit external memory bus

    didn't amd-ati release their last high-end card at $450?(x1950xtx, i believe) it was completely against the trend of $600+ releases and i for one took it as a good sign that amd was not letting it go any further. i would expect the r600 to be more expensive than the 1950xtx conisdering what i...

    Recommended Vid Card with Dell 30" 3007WFP

    the answers you are mostly going to get here will be geared to your perceived price range to us. that is because with the 3007's high resolution, you need high end hardware to get decent framerate at native. you know that, of course. if you have the money you should go for broke; it would be...

    Why I'm Switching to Linux.

    it seems that some people here are confusing xp's OS quality with its third party software and driver support. we all use windows not because its "windows" (well, maybe you do :P) but because it is the only one that runs the games we want or the programs we want or the office tools we have to...

    Do you even care? (Vista)

    yeah, ogl emulation was horrible in beta and still is. if you want something in vista that doesn't pad microsoft's bottom line, you better do it yourself. should we just start calling it "Vanilla Vista"? sounds funny

    Do you even care? (Vista)

    do you read the eulas of all the products that you use? have you ever pressed that "I Agree" button? regardless of your country's laws you are in breach of contract if you misuse or abuse the program, which means your broke the law somewhere in the world. if you think it doesn't matter, well it...

    I think all X-FI Cards have 64MB XRAM

    using a video card as a general purpose stream processor is not as efficient as you believe. why did we switch to video accelerators from video processing done on the cpu? because a dedicated processor with special commands and processing units will always be faster. something like a "tank...

    What is with all the new X-Fi cards?

    this is true, the new x-fis are not hardware accelerated... they are pretty much the same as onboard solutions now: not being an audio processor, but an audio logic chip. from what i heard on the creative forums (flame city!) there will be cmss3d and crystalizer, which are a couple of the best...

    Tired of upgrading - not getting 8800 GTX >:(

    same here. i have CRT trinitron and am okay with running low resolutions and poor detail for now. i only upgrade for great games that i can't run and last time it was for farcry/hl2/doom3 and it was worth it. i've only recently started noticing that games have become unplayable. i am going to...

    Unless your are using your computer to fry up some bacon, its performance in SOFTWARE is the only thing you should be concerned about. what else is there? did i miss a meeting?
