Thank you Simpson5774!!! Funny how the more realistic a game is made, and you have to actually think before you shoot, that it is considered "bad". A game like Stalker forces a player to use more strategic tactics and cover along with more precise aim. I only wish more games were like...
My vote would be for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. This game has received a lot of bad press (and not without justification) due to its bugginess, even after released patches. But the storyline, freeplay and complex Chernobyl "universe" based on actual footage/site specifics gives it a real, tangible feel...
Some more demo benchmarks to throw in the mix...Win XP Pro 32-bit using Nvidia 163.71 drivers (the new 169.01 beta drivers simply do not work for me - system crashes randomly).
I just finished playing it with 4xAA and I have to say, it looked great and played very well. I did not notice any...
Thanks manjina - that discussion seems to be right on the money! Looks like this is in fact possible, and the amounts varying on the stripe size, configs, etc; I appreciate the direction.
Now I just need to do something about my slow 36GB Raptor... :rolleyes:
Hi all! I just enabled write-back caching on my 2x74GB Raptors in RAID 0 and noticed a very dramatic difference (sorry, n00b to RAID) on HD Tach:
Um, if the burst speed is correct, that is crazy! Is this a result of the 16MB cache on these drives? These are the newer 74GB Raptors...
