Wow, R520 is going to dominate the market. I feel bad for nvidia if they don't come out with something.

reading glasses, not prescription glasses. reading glasses do the opposite of the glasses you're thinking of. they make things far away seem blurry, but stuff up close clearer without having to focus your eyes. and its not a matter of need, its only about lessening the amount of focusing your...

For you guys that get eyestrain, just get a pair of cheap reading glasses and your problems should be solved. They do all the focusing for you, so your eyes don't have to. They're great for looking at a monitor for a long period of time.

holy shit man. that whole period of not knowing where it cut must've been brutal. I don't know if I could handle something like that.

yeah mine resets too. and I noticed whenever I set it on anything other than monitor scaling, the refresh rate will be set to 75hz on my monitor, regardless of trying to change it in windows. and thats bad cause I always have vsync on.

whoa, that stuff really takes out LCD scratches? or atleast lessens them? I've had 3 annoying scratches in the lower right center of my LCD screen for awhile(got scratched while moving into my dorm). Been looking for a way to get rid of em..thats awesome if it works, might get it.

I also have a 17" LCD with a tv card. it *can* look crappy up close, but for me that usually depends on the channel. some channels look really good, with some others the lcd shows some noise. But for that pricerange, using a TV as your monitor wouldn't work. using your monitor as your tv...

even though I have a 6800GT now I wish I had an ATI card

X800XL will rape the shit out of the 6600GT, go for it.

holy crap how is that compusa x800xl so cheap!? my god

OMG I can't wait for the new ATI cards to come out, gonna leave my 6800GT in the dust

I used to play this a lot. I remember beating slime master but forget if I beat psycho slime or not. now however I suck at the game

just get one that works with dscaler. dscaler makes the picture look so nice

AMD is so superior in performance and price its a no-brainer. Plus AMD has never let me down. Intel has.

I'm guessing it would, with 512mb ram all the new games I play take horrendously long to load, even though the framerate once loaded is fine.

man, ffdshow really does make DVDs look a whole lot better. They actually look really lifelike now on my lcd monitor.

holy crap, thats one of the best photos I've ever seen. so clear.. :D

I'd get a standalone tuner that works with dscaler, as dscaler makes the picture look really good.

dude that looks gross

man, kinda makes me wish I waited before buying this GT

thats awesome

8more pipelines is quite a bit

All I'm saying is that for current games, SM3.0 is more or less useless. Sure nvidia implementing it is good for future game development, but I don't see much of a problem with ATI downplaying its use *now* considering it isn't needed for current games, and it'd be fine for them to UPplay it...

S3 virge Voodoo 3 16mb agp ATI Radeon 8500 128mb Geforce 6800 GT 256mb wow..I didn't even realize I upgraded so infrequently. haha I wonder when I'll upgrade from my GT. ooo and I haven't even had two video cards from the same company..interesting

sm3.0 is pretty useless right now though.

I did something similar. I have an AXP 2400+ and got a 6800GT. I run most games at 4xAA 8xAF and at 1280x1024 and get 60fps. though in like doom3 and hl2 i cant run with AA on

It is not the same case with A64s because of hypertransport and they don't really have a FSB like the AXP did. Don't bother upping the FSB looking for performance gains that you'd get just from a higher FSB speed, because the A64s dont need it, they're not bandwidth starved like AXPs were.

hopefully the people working there would point the poor guy in the right direction

I have the CML174 and yeah in CS sometimes it will be too dark just cuz it doesn't do dark contrast too well, I just up the brightness when I get that problem

Leadtek 6800 GT running it at 370 core and 1.11 mem. I could go higher with the core, 390 works fine but I'm scared it'll die or something at that speed.

I was making the same decision last month. The only reason I was considering the x800 pro was for the temporal antialiasing, but it seems thats not as big of a feature as I thought it was. I got the 6800 GT and its great. I upgraded from a radeon 8500 and am now experiencing what AA looks...

damn, the graphics in that aoe ss don't even look computer generated, its like looking at small real life models of buildings and people.

I don't think people buy new video cards so they can get say 120fps in their favorite game as opposed to getting 60fps, atleast I hope they don't, unless its just so the lowest fps doesn't dip too low. For me, 60fps is very fluid, 30 is not, and over 60 just seems to me as barely making a...

still doesn't let me select 1280x1024 even with aa off. Should I just reinstall my drivers or what? its really weird.

well I used to have a radeon 8500, and I usually played games in 1280x1024 since thats the native res. of my LCD. but when I upgraded to the 6800gt for some reason in certain games it no longer lets me select a resolution higher than 1024x768. Two games that have this problem are KOTOR and...

Well I'm basically deciding on getting one of these two cards, and I'm not planning on doing any modding or anything to them. I'd go for the 6800gt if I didn't know about ATI's temporal antialiasing. I'm using an lcd and always run games with vsync on, so I'm thinking that TAA would always let...

a cheap and easy solution to a lot of the eyestrain issues from focusing too close is to buy some reading glasses. just wear them whenever you're using the computer/playing games when the monitor is close to you. the reading glasses do the focusing for you so its just as if you're looking at...

the rated response times on lcds are kinda misleading. like the 12ms response lcds were found to be slower or either just as fast as the 16ms response lcds. and the fastest lcd is the 20ms hydis panel.

so it would be worth it to get a 6800GT right now? hmm..any idea when its price would probably drop? or is it gonna stay at its $400 mark for awhile.
