    DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil

    just my 2 cents first im waiting to see what the x-pack does for D3. It could fix many issues or make them worse. We will see on that. Doom3 was several things. I thought it was a great game the first time around. Repetitive yes, but brought back memories of playing doom1 at 2 am years...

    Xbit Labs CS Source Benches

    a guy a few rooms down has a x800pro and i have a 6800GT, the x800pro runs higher framerates at times than my 6800GT, but my card is very consistent and in the end puts a better overall score. just my experience. concerning cards, the 6xxx series just continues the trend i have seen that the...

    ATI Radeon X700 PRO vs nVIDIA GeForce 6600GT

    x16 is the type of PCI express slot that is used, that is on both or it would not be PCI express graphics. Speed is not everything. Hardocp did a review about the 6600GT and x700 cards and the 6600GT won overall. Read that review.

    6800 Ultra OC/ w 420 PSU

    an antec 420 is fine. have read them running ultras fine, but i have seen generics even above 480w die because of the ultra. as long as its fine quality, you will be fine with anything above 400, have seen some have problems with even antecs below 400

    New RV410 Info

    well though my previous post points that out as well, you must remember burningrave, not everybody has money growing on trees :p . i may be getting a 6800GT now, but i still remember the days when the ti4200 was like a dream that i could never afford and then when i got the 9500pro and then i...

    New RV410 Info

    my only concern is how this x700 and 6600GT (which i have read will sell at 200 approx.) will compete with the 6800nu which is right now 50-75 dollars more. im just wondering if these cards can compete with it. does anybody know what performance will be relative to higher end cards.

    Ladies and Gentlemen - Galaxy Glacier 6800GT

    nice card, wish those prices existed here south of da border, but isnt that the same cooler that one ati retailer put on their x800 cards. starts with a "h" thats all i can remember, saw it at a get together i went to before i left home for college.

    Is a vanilla 6800 a good upgrade from a Radeon 9600 Pro?

    yeah i agree, im looking at the GT very closely, and when they hit below 400, im going to get one though some say the the 6800nu is a better deal. with them hovering around the 250-275 from what i have seen, i dont see how the 6600GT will compete with it unless the 6600GT comes out with...

    New RV410 Info

    from the InQ, i have heard that was its release and that may be why nvidia is slow getting to the PCI-E market, smart enough to see that adoption of it was not going to be that great. which reminds me, how are ATI's pci-e cards selling? from what i have been reading they should probably have a...

    Anand does a CS:S and VST review

    well it does show how clockspeed doesnt mean everything. personally if the xt-pe was in at least decent supply, i think ati would be far ahead, i have been hearing the typical OEM bs at the expense of retail, which infuriates me. reason why im getting a GT which im glad to see that it will run...

    9600xt or 9800 pro?

    lol i was at a LAN two nights ago and a guy who used watercooling installed SP2 and after he rebooted, he tried opening my computer and it crashed explorer and then the watercooling leaked on his 5950u. oh yeah, im using a 9800pro and have tried a 9600xt sapphire and the 9800pro is...

    ATI or Nvidia? Been out of the loop.

    both the xt-pe and 6800ultra are neck and neck, the scores get closer with each review first i would agree, brent knows what he is talking about, if you need more info just read all teh reviews hardocp has done on the x800 xt-pe and 6800u. i know there is at least three so that should help you...

    New RV410 Info

    i agree, first the x800pro now this. im guessing they are making it to where you either get awesome performance or crappy performance, no more inbetween like the 9500pro. my that was a great card.

    intel purchase plan

    pci express and agp wont work together, you have one card in one or the other from what i have been told, now VIA has made boards where you can use agp cards and then upgrade to pci express later, but from what i know, you cant use both at the same time. nvidia uses SLi tech which uses two...

    ForceWare overclock 2D/3D question

    54C is pretty norm for GT and ultras from what i have seen, might want to turn down the 2d so it can run really cool when its running in 2d mode, are you doing anything outside of games that is video card intensive that would need it so fast?

    Next generation of video cards???

    quarter 4 of this year or quarter 1 of 2005 is what i have been hearing, but with the late supply of the current generation, that will be probably delayed

    Xbit Article on ATi vs Nvidia Power Consumption

    GT @ 420/1150 = 64.35 watts Ultra @ 400/1100 = 72.09 higher speed and lower wattage, love to see how it performs compared to the ultra, if equal or higher, makes me happier im getting a GT,

    you can imagine a x800pro with 16 pipes or you can buy a GT and quit imagining, :p

    Xbit Article on ATi vs Nvidia Power Consumption

    well it uses two molex connectors and suggets a 480 watt PSU so im cool with a GT, it doesnt even consume as much power as an ultra at the same speeds.

    New Inquirer Article about the future of 3dcards

    well ati needs to pick up the pace, their refresh cycle for an update or new core is going close enough to not be able to profit from releasing an updated x800pro.

    Sweet looking mod for BFV
