Very cool!
I can't find it, but there was a demo that showed off water using tiny spheres, then a transparent mesh covered it (kinda like the way the matress works in the Novodex Rocket with the matress), except being confined to limits of a shape of a matress, it was loose and fluid-like. A...
First game in use? Lots of people didn't think SLI would take off because the drivers sucked and it cost 2x as much. -_-
That can be said for everything the first time something is used. Ageia's saying they their physics engine will be used in 100 games by 60 developers thru to 2007. Havok has...
That must be why Havok is swaying away from it and implementing hardware acceleration on graphics cards, as if GPUs didn't already have enough to do. Not everyone has quad-SLI to do 60fps then add physics acceleration.
One guy on XS took a 2.9ghz Conroe and ran a software acceleration-only...
It killed performance because it was a company's first hardware release using its first drivers in the first game that supported it. On top of that, they used two API for physics: Havok and Ageia, Havok for everything but explosion detail, Ageia for explosions. You might as well install a 7800...
I was only posting to make you guys aware of the release, not do something crazy and unpredictable like go and download it. I guess I'm going to need to ask everyone to temporarily pause your download so I can finish first. ;)
Just got my card yesterday. Popped it in, installed drivers, all the PCI install requests dissapeared, and worked great. Then I was playing BF2 and took a screen shot that then froze the PC. Rebooted to find myself having the same problem as Justinkoko; won't boot after BIOS, works fine with the...
The game runs great for me at highest detail on 1920x1440 2xAA and 16xAF.
I have a save file with all three cities open to roam freely if anyone wants them. I also have some pics @ 1920x1440 with 2xAA and 16xAF. Just post or PM/IM me if you want either.
Here is the save file. Right-click...
CCUABIDExORxDIE, my Patriot DDR400XBL can do 312mhz 2.5-4-3-6 1T stable, 7.9k Sandra memory bandwidth. I can also do 2-2-2-5 1T up to 224mhz. Tell us what your max is.
It isn't very often something truly, 100% exclusive and drool-worthy drops into my mailbox here, but today just happens to be one of those days - I can now present to you what is the first benchmark of a desktop dual-core AMD processor!

Looks promising.:)
I haven't read any way to get around it, but my board's default limit is 456HT. I can do 456x5, but it goes to show that FSB/HT don't mean much when you're ram isn't 1:1. My ram only does 310mhz 2.5-3-3-8 1T on 2.7v, so I do a divider to something around 3/4 of 456. My mem does 8000MB/s in...
this test really loves low-latency, fast ram. i noticed a 1s lower score just from lowering the timings a little. i stuck out my vmem to 2.9 with really low timings and got 3.5s.
check out Super PI. i got the idea from eocf. give your system a go at it. the .exe extracts to a folder, then run. most people do 1M.
download here or here
i get 35s.

by mortal kombat, do they mean the original "Mortal Kombat" made in 1993 or whenever? they're specific as to which release of multi-release titles like GTA and Halo?
why didn't MGS3 make the list? grabbing a gun from behind, cutting their throats, and watching the blood spew from their...
i own a 2.6ghz northwood and upgraded to a 2.8ghz prescott. 10ºC average temp, 20ºC max temp. you do the math, the prescotts have a larger temp range.mines at 3.5ghz and never exceeds 50ºC. while they're not as good as a64's 3500+ and better procs, they do oc very nicely. i reached my proc's...
i like having the ability to talk to friend on an instant messenger w/o having to alt-tab or close the program. HL2 runs fine for me, but hope to God someone doesn't message me on AIM, or else it'll take me 3+ minutes just to get back to the game, assuming the game doesn't crash due to lack of...
reminds me of what happens every day here in Virginia at a Seven-Eleven. people get arrested for trying to force the employees into makings vodka slushies for them. good stuff.
nice story. but seriously, Circuit City?
that's the hardest vehicle in the game to control. suggestion: do first-person view and use R2 and L2 to make minor turns.
there are other planes that are easier to fly. one of which you take over in a... grand theft aerial.;)
