Quoted for truth. Winamp and ie arent using the power we have sitting on the floor.

Now to the guy (BennyB) who couldn't find anything to stress his 9800pro: Two words - Far Cry.

Yeah, FC is a great game that can really bring a card down.....but it isn't performing absolutely HORRIBLY. Then again, I'm running it on this 3.3GHz P4 with my 9800XT so things are sure to be a little smoother then for some folks out there.....but she still slows down from time to time. ;)
 
Ya but yours doesn't have the 800FSB or HT [not that the latter makes that big a diff in games anyway].

Um he has a 2.6C so he has both... unless you're talking about someone else that is. heh
 
sounds like someone has to do a little bit of homework. There were the older 2.4, 2.66, 2.8, and 3.06GHz chips that were on the 533MHz FSB.....but the 3.06 did have HT.....it was the first one.

I would have thought that the "C" in my processor name would have given it away but whatever. ;)
 
Why is everyone getting all horny over the new ati and nvidia chips, sheesh, we should all buy XGI cards, they just gotta kick ass. 2 GPU's in PCI-E! I mean sheesh! They slaughter NVidia and Ati in driver support too! I mean drivers build in VB have got to rock!

By the way, for anyone that thinks I'm serious I'm not...

There's no correlation between the quality of a game and it's ability to bring your system to it's knees.

But yes, I didn't much like Far Cry. :p
 
it would be funny if the new line of pci-e cards ends up having little or no actual performance differece.. maybe amd knows this so they arent announcing pci-e chipsets?

i don't like the new pci-express name, its too close to pci-x.

They should call it ISA 2:p

AMD isn't annoucing any pci-e chipsets because they are out of the chipset biz, they sold the 8000 series to ALI and have ceased chipset development. on a related note, via and sis have both announced pci-e chipsets for the k8 core.

What's the matter with you??? You mean to tell me that you've never been excited about ANYTHING before to this extent. I'm sorry if the two of us live different lifestyles but that's just the way it is.

I'm sorry if you have trouble finding happiness..... :(

im excited! sort of. but not just for nVidia but ATI too. :D

Yeah, a lot of people think I'm kinda strange for strongly supporting and uplifting both sides.....but hey, we NEED both of them. As of yet we dont really have any other alternatives to deal with, so these guys need our support. There should always be one company that's excelling at a given time but the last thing we want in this market is a monopoly. ;)

I'm very eager to see what ATI has in store for us. After getting a number of specs on the nv40 already and hearing of it on demo (running the Unreal3 engine at GDC) really makes you think that ATI must have something amazing that they're sitting on to make them hold back like this. :cool:

If you ask me, there's an awful lot of questionable talk going on around here. I'm starting to wonder about some of you guys. ;)
 
Some people need to calm down :).

Once both cards are out, we're going to see threads like (OMG NOT ANOTHER R420 vs NV40 thread)

Cheers,

Mr. Pain

rumored, rumored, rumored..........I'm getting really sick of hearing that word.

Rumors do nothing but bring people against each other and start arguements about hardware, months before its release. Not only that, but rumors hurt company credibility if something is OVERhyped and rumored to be "so great" but then it doesn't QUITE deliver.

I can't wait for these damn things to be out, just to stop all the annoying rumor mills around here..........sheesh. :rolleyes:
