You have a point to a point, but to counterpoint:
First you can get the 120 GB for about $135 most places I look such as Amazon.
Second there is also the 60GB Live starter kit available for ~$89 as another option, which also comes with a headset, ethernet cable, and 3 months Live Gold...
Pretty disappointing that people are still getting excited for 32" no-name set for $400...I'm looking to upgrade from a old 27" soon and I was expecting to be able to at least pick up a 37" for that price, if not more or cheaper.
Another thing people dont talk about much in the 720P/1080P...
The newest reviews seem to show the 4890 often beating the 285 even, especially in the most demanding games like Crysis. This is of the OC version, but note the good results even of the bone stock card: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/sapphire_toxic_hd_4890_review/page4.asp
Also the fact...
Damn, they had it at my Best buy for 209, but gone :(
You should have got it. You can sell it on ebay for 320 all day long if you change your mind. $100 profit. Free money basically.
Anybody have exact clocks on this? Core appears to be 590 but I'd like shader too.
I have a 9800 GTX, my principle problem with it is the 512MB RAM is a bit dated. So even though this 192 core 260 wont be much faster, it might be worth it for the increased RAM. Considering I could probably ebay...
1, I downloaded and installed the 64-bit patch, right clicked warhead and play 64 bit DX10 per the instructions. I forgot all about 32-bit saves supposedly not working (as claimed in the release notes) and just started playing my old save. It worked fine, well I say that but the first time I...
Pretty funny since Carmack has said in the very recent past that the PS3 is the limiting factor in "every case" regarding Rage (meaning, graphically). And yeah, I can link that if you need a source.
So I guess, the game was dumbed down for the PS3 in every area not related to storage already.
Hnmm well I overclocked my 9600GT last night. It hit 750 mhz without any problems that I know of (this was as far as I tried to OC, so it might go higher).
I ran a little "real world gameplay" bench with Fraps, just running along that first beach at night twirling and shooting. Un oced I got...
What would be expected? I have 4GB RAM and Q6600 so that's not a problem..
Would a 8800GT be much better?
So far the demo doesn't seem to quite run at high. I think it runs about 18-20 FPS, which surprisingly is just almost playable in this game. This kicked up to maybe 20-23 when I switched...
