Rather close to the biggest pile of dung I've read in half a year.

You mean 3D tech demos? ATI's Ruby Whiteout still looks gorgeous- at least for me. It's no Crysis, but it's realtime and super smooth.

ManCannon, highly recommended that you upgrade to 4GB RAM. (Vista 64 bit) No stuttering, no hitching, regardless of CPU present. Crysis is a jerk particularly in RAM usage, it takes 4+GB to get a total smooth experience.

Also consider 4850X2, probably a very nice => GTX280 in most sites (besides of [H], but you seriously aren't going to base your purchase off a single site, right?) You can use Edge-detect 24x without much pain with 2 chips too. The 4850X2 sells at $400 (real MSRP), which is lower than what...

Lose complete control? No. It's still partially owned, and will serve AMD/ATI's interests first, others second. Same as IBM East Fishkill. Power processors first, nVidia's chips second.

Are we going to judge cards/cars by performance, or pricing and agendas? ;) If [H] had not reviewed the 9600GT- which was a card that reeked of redundancy all round compared to the 8800GT- I wouldn't have minded.

Unknown-One, same for the Radeon 2k+s. They had problems with fog initially in HL2: EP1. Looking at nVidia's 8xQ/16xQ modes, whoa not good. They're supposed to be the better modes (much more slower) yet they have artefacting in hi-bright areas/edges in Oblivion.

Sorry, the vendor you mentioned wasn't responsible for 70% of Vista instability problems. They weren't responsible for stuttering in Unreal Engine 2 that took a year + to solve, either.

Performance aggregreators show that the 9600GT lag the 8800GT by on average, 20%, at 1280*1024/1600*1200 with 4xAA or not. If you can say that it's "with" the 8800GT, then the 3850 which lags the 9600GT by ~20% (little more with AA, less without) on the same site is "with" the 9600GT. And it...

The 4850 is in some cases 2X faster than the 9600GT. The GTX280 is generally ~3x faster in non limited cases. Just to correct that. The 9600GT is way overrated.

The reason it really got bad rep was the way it was 2x+ slower than the second order highend card. The gap has been increasing steadily since the 6600GT's extremely superb price performance, and at the 8600GTS level people actually realized that. Price/performance is supposed to go up with...

I wonder if the previous users would get another refund. Oh almighty nVidia. Louise.

I forgot Motorstorm. I wanted that too (badly when the proper version came). But now that Pure is coming, it's sidelined. Also, Ratchet was quite nice when I went to play at my friends'. The others- I'd say they just aren't bringing anything new in. You can find substitutes for those easily...

Oh, and not to mention: 360 games cost 45USD here; PS3 games? 65USD.

I dunno, why don't we try FUN games instead of just SHINY games? Simply- Uno, Fable and Too Human play funner than anything Sony or Nintendo (ugh) has to offer. I would give Pixeljunk Monsters and Eden some kudos, but really, nothing's moderately interested me besides MGS4 due to the nice...
