i'm not saying it could..i'm sure some dell's could handle heavy gameing..
but if your going to put that much money into a machine you should get it done by a shop..
i'm not a fan of any pre-built...but it's a good way to buy a comp for someone who isn't going to use it for much more than...
i'd reccomend a dell for a web broswer.maybe a little light gaming (hl1..those sort of games\mods)
if you want something well built..get it custom done..even if you have to pay someone else to do it..
i don't know anything about dell laptops..i hear there good..
also..the reason dell...
i have a bit of a problem... my cpu can reach 2.6+ (my htt link is holding my cpu back)
my htt crashed at a max of 290 but runs stable at 285
i can run stable with my multi at 9x (3000+ venice) but only if my ram runs at a 1:0.5 (1:2 for everyone else maybe?) divider
if i bring the ram...
..is there a demo somewhere around where i can see the difference between the hdr modes?
no offense..but i'm not going to believe what anyone says until i see it..wether that's in a review from a reliable site or in real life..
if the "washed out" statement comes from somewhere else i...
..it's not true..the only reason hdr only works with sm3.0 is because that was the way the patch was made for farcry..thier implementation only works with nvidia's cards..
hl2's hdr (coming soon) will work with both SM2.0 and 3.0..although i hear that SM3.0 does a nicer job...how much of a...
HDR doesn't require SM3.0..only in farcry (that's how they chose to implement it)
i can't say for sure..but form what i hear hdr give's quite a preformence hit..in which case the 6600gt doens't have the power to run hdr at a decent resolution so it doesn't really matter..
if your looking a...
so..what you mean is this..
you hope and IF your semphron oc's to 2.6..and IF your 6800 unlocks perfectly adn you get a oc on it you'll be up there with the 3500+ and 6800gt\ultra group...
that's if everything goes ok..
people pay for the actual card so they KNOW it will work..they...
a 3700+ (top end for skt 754 mobo i think) is enough to run a 7800gtx..and it depends on wha t you call a bottle neck..
you guys and your bottlenecks.. think about it for a minute...if i ran a 7800gtx with max everything settings at 1600*1200 with a 3500+ even..
what would be holding me...
new tech doens't mean better in all ways..
agp will die when the next socket comes out for amd\intel..provideing that no motherboards are made with agp for those platforms..then there isn't a issue of having a kick ass reasonably-new processor (comparativly..a 3700+ is nothing to scoff at)...
there are still people with good cpu's taht should have no reason to upgrade thier mobo..
if you have a great overclock on you current mobo...why go get a cheaper one where you might not get as high...just for pci-e?
and tell me..what other benifets does pci-e bring besides bandwidth...
why do you all care if nvidia makes a agp card? it's not hurting you..
do you WANT agp users to suffer..if so..your all dicks..i doubt that is teh case though
tell me...if a 7800gtx agp comes out..how will it hurt pci-e users?
and agp platforms sure as hell can support a 7800gtx...a...
i'd like to see the source engine render a whole island at once...without dropping your fps down to retarded lvl's..
the farcry engine is capable of rendering huge area's without the sort of fps drop you'd get in source...source might look better in most aspects..but the playability lvl of it...
...at uber high resolutions high aa level's aren't needed..
i'm not sure about you..but i dont' think i could see hardly any "jaggies" at 2048*1536 if i tried..
af is always useful..but aa is only needed if you see aliasing
we weren't jsut talking about graphics..and i'd still have to...
imperial has it's good points..i agree that it's mostly crap compared to metric though..
what would you do without fractions? i mean..if you only use metric you can't say something is half-full..(or half-empty..if you feel like argueing)
i think most things should be done in metric..but...
