I use Catalyst 6.8 with chuck patch and have just borrowed Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow. It doesn't let me run with AA enable, no matter what I do. I find that a bit odd. The game itself doesn't seem to support AA, but even when I force CCC to go 4xAA, nothing shows up in the game. Jaggy as...

Good luck enjoying your dead end technology that devs will not develop for. Just like the ageia PhysX. There won't be a glory day of third party ASICS. It will be Intel or AMD that will make a new kind of CPU which is build from many discrete units if anything happens in that direction...

Ive tried to convince supergee, but he is adamant that such a device is a good idea. And for the record, I do not believe the future will be specialised ASICs, but a redefintion of what the CPU is. You will still have one product doing your calculations, but perhaps it will have the work...

1337?

Ultima VII, Daggerfall, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Redneck Rampage - now that game WAS fun. As in actual guffaw. Wing Commander, Railroad Tycoon, Master of Magic. There are loads.

So why not just use the second core of the new cpus with two cores? You will end up writing parallel processing no matter what. Aiming for the second core makes life SO much easier for the devs.

I don't care for the broken english, it is the broken arguments that is the problem. I don't need 3 pages to make my point. AI is not something you need to make extra cards for. The calculation needed is sufficently taken care of by the central processing unit. The "problem" with AI is much...

You might also have problems with your card. Im not sure how much you overclock with 6.8s, but on my setup it is flawlessly running with ati tool 0.25 beta 15. You did upgrade to the new beta right? How hot does it get? dont forget that Atis Overclocker will scale down your clock if the card...

You just described the way Windows works overall...

You don't have much of a clue do you, supergee? Physics and graphics rendering are running off well documented principles. You can make a whole library of routines, say, DirectX or OpenGl, that does graphics for you. When it comes to physics processing, you got the law of physics. Ever heard of...

Well, Im an AMD man too. Have been for years, but if I was to build my system today, I would definitely check out my options on a Conroe rig. If AMD beats intel with their next cpu family, well good for AMD. But right now, what concerns me is which computer I can build that will give me...

Your Arctic silver will not cut off 8C no matter how long it sits. You either need to reapply your AS5 in thinner ammounts, lap your heatsink or be more conservative in your OC.

Not to mention that physics are based on a well known phenomenon. Physics. Where as AI, you just cannot make an all-purpose "AI" chip. AI is made up of clever programming, not fancy chips. The "AIPU" is a dodo even before its hatched. The best all-purpose chip you get for AI is a cpu or other...

My X1900XT idles at 55c, so consider yourself off easy :)

I cannot get AA to work in Quake 4. No way. It works fine in Doom 3 however. Bah. Quake 4 is a poor game anyway, I regret buying it :) If I try to force AA in Battlefield 2 with the Ati Tool, it completely removes AA. But if I let CCC manage it, I get my AA. Weird. For the record, I never...
