    Accelero hd4870x2

    @Hammer I feel your pain...fully and completely. I too had a hard time installing the Accelero on my 4870x2, but managed to get the tension brackets all squared away..save for one screw--but everything seemed to be stuck down enough and so I installed the card and it worked great! Both of...

    I’m a PC

    Well that was enjoyable! It felt a lot more natural/organic/unscripted than the Apple commercials... what kind of placement did it get on TV? (I don't watch..)

    Worst video card ever...then best

    Worst card: Voodoo2. I ordered one up, installed it and ...DOA. Sweeeeet. So I sent that one back, they sent me a new one. It worked great for about ten minutes and then the 3D demo I was running turned into giant purple pixels. I restarted and by that time it too was dead. Elite! So...

    weird rampage formula behavior?

    Do you remember your first graphics card?

    My first graphics card was an Orchid Righteous 3D.. aka 3dfx Voodoo 1. It had 4mb of memory and rocked the Mechwarrior 3D Pentium Edition very hard. I managed to sell it along with the K6-2 200mhz processor that went with it to nab a riva TNT and a 400mhz celery stick. SO FAST!

    Low-res gaming: Who else does it, and some questions.

    Huh. You're right! I just went and tried it in COD4. I guess my memories of cs:s are failing me.. of course, I've gone from playing it at 800x600 (why would I do this? crappy computron) on a 21" boat anchor CRT to playing COD4 @ 1920x1200 on a 24" lcd in the past year...its quite a different...

    Low-res gaming: Who else does it, and some questions.

    Yeah!! I am in the same boat with my ultra crappy 5 year old gateway lappy... I used to play bf1942 on it @ 640x480. It was both incredibly ugly and slow. The battery has since died, as has the touchpad and several of the internal fans.. if you can keep the thing from scorching your ..lap, it...

    Last ATI: 4870 x2 ... up from the previous last ATI: 4870... coincidentally, I happen to have a spare 4870 now . . . . . Last Nvidia: a lovely BFG 6800 OC I had never purchased an ATI card up until July of this year. I went Orchid Voodoo 1 -> Asus TNT -> Creative TNT2 Ultra (they...
