    DX10 is a Joke

    Rodney, I'm with you all the way man. Not seeing the point of buying a DX10 card for having DX10. The only reason I'd buy an 8800GTX/ultra(if I wons some cash or something) is to play everything on max. Definately not for the DX10.

    Ati Catalyst 7.8 beta increases performance of all Radeons...

    At least something is done to a rather disappointing set of releases from AMD

    Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Impressions

    Ok, so I came in early today and did some research. It will have single player but will primarily be for multifplayer. Feeling lots better now. Single player should be something different as it's got a storyline and you have 4 main team members that apparently talk alot and are not just AI bots...

    Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Impressions

    Anyone know if there is an offline part of the game. UT is my alltime favourite game and it'll really suck if it's only online. We here in SA pay through our a$$es for $h!++y lines. I can't game online yet coz I've got bloody wireless and the best latency I'l ever get out of it is 700ms. Great...

    All X2 3800 OCers,please help me.

    Mine's at 2.5 as well but the people I live with has a cat and the hair cause my pc to get dirty real quickly. Load temps with my big typhoon is 44 deg C.

    *Update!RMA'ed X800pro agp to ATI, They sent me a 1600pro...

    Pressing the ignore button is only going to make him ignore me for that one thread. He's the one that gave BS advice and resorted to name calling. I'm apparently an idiot and a pirate and he know's exactly what I do from what he's learnt of me here on the forumz (in his eyes anyway). I just...

    I give up and need a little assistance :)...plz

    Well, hope you enjoy the 9700. It's pretty but to me the Big Typhoon just gave better performance and I got my thermaltake stuff for cheap coz most of my case is Thermaltake and I know the right people here in SA. My lanmoto case, all the LED fans, my UV's, my PSU and now the Big Typhoon as well.

    Sorry, Didn't mean to hijack the thread. He's just been giving BS advice and I can't handle it. Glad you got the x1600 so soon. As the the problem, does the card have an additional power cable that you have to plug in? If so, did you? Also what PSU do you have?

    I wouldn't complain about your posts if you actually did some research and didn't post BS like you did here and in the other thread as well. According to your reasoning, I can buy me a cheap 7800 (flash the bios wrong or something so that it doesn't work), say I got it like that and they should...

    ATI RadeOn X1950 Pro 256MB or NVidia GeForce 8600 GT/GTS?

    Yeah, that's total and utter BS. The X1950 is cheaper and faster than the 8600GTS. The only thing you won't get is the DX10 but if you want that, no less than the 8800GTS 320. That'll prolly be my next upgrade if I have the money.

    Crysis Performance - ATI & Nvidia Cards

    Yeah, I'm just in a very fowl mood today so forgive me if I was rude in any way. We have a strike going at the moment from ALL the state employed people in the country. The goverment offered them 6% anual raise and they want 12%. A lot of those people use this time they have off now to come and...

    Crysis Performance - ATI & Nvidia Cards

    Yeah, a lot of good speculation did for the R600. Everyone thought it was so great with it's 320 stream processors and look how it ended up. With no hard evidence to back it up there ain't no way I can believe it's acurate...

    Crysis Performance - ATI & Nvidia Cards

    So did they pull that out of someone's a$$ or did they write a random number program to get they're projected numbers? (doubt it, sounds too complicated for them). AMD and ITEL don't perform the same clock for clock so 2Ghz dual core still leaves a lot up to the immagination. Just my point of...

    Crysis Performance - ATI & Nvidia Cards

    So is my 3800+. That's not the point. You don't just put 2ghz dual core by a bench and expect everyone to be happy with it. If it's real I want to at least see on which mobo and know what processor they were running to compare to my own. It's like the stupid a$$ ads from pc shops lately. 3Ghz...
