THG?

Well Ive decided to sell the card and buy a new motherboard cuz im running a 3 year old COMPAQ Motherboard with P4 2.0ghz. Im looking to purchase an AMD motherboard and an AMD 3800+. No point on trying to overkill my COMPAQ motherboard with high end graphics card.... will buy a graphics card...

I just ran 3dMark05 and I got a score of 4052. Now Im pretty sure it should be a little higher than that. I have a Built By Ati Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition running on AGP 4x. I have 2.0ghz and 512DDR Ram. I didn't run the CPU tests but every other test ran. My motherboard BIOs is...

I just purchased a 1024DDR stick but when I put it into my computer, it reads it as a 512DDR stick. What should I do? Would updating my BIOS work? this is my system: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?dlc=en&lc=en&product=94088%E2%8C%A9=en&cc=us&docname=c00009568

Can somebody help me with something What is "AGP Write"? in my CCC its turned off. What does it do? Should I turn it on or leave it?

Wow youre right the DX7 moe sucks compared to the DX9 mode. In DX9 the snow flows realistically, the character models look a lot more detailed, the shaders and everything look very real. DX7 just looks like COD1 witha few upgrades. I have a question, I got my card today and installed it. I see...

Yea in COD2 the gun and the characters were no longer shinning. And the water looked extremely dull. But other than that, everything was cool lol

(On my friends comp) with DX9, the game plays at around 30fps-40fps and with DX7 it goes to 50-60fps.

lol not really it looks fine to me. its look like this But in FEAR on the other hand, when force directx8 shaders are on it looks like garbage. Its like Doom 3 with no bump mapping. This is what fear looks like on my friends comp:

But in COD2 with my friends 6200 it ran kinda smooth because i play with "force directx 7". And in games I never use any AA or AF except for hl2.

thats awesome i love it when my friends card is dead last lol. could i get the link to the page you got the 2nd graph from? and I searched all over for COD2 benchmarks but couldnt find any with x850XT PE. any suggestions? -thanks

Oh I see. So that means that my friends GF6200 has SM 3.0?

But how come on this site it says X850 with HDR on the second graph http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2005/09/21/lost_coast_benchmark/2.html and also on the first post, which is updated, of this thread: http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=93333

I have a question; in HL2 Lost Coast and FarCry, will I be able to enable HDR with the x850? Because Ive been searching and searching and only found that FarCry HDR is for Nvidia cards??

Alright cool I sent payment today. Its a sealed brand new Built by Ati Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition for $299USD plus $15USD for shipping. Now I wait for it to arrive. BTW whats the required power supply thing for it? I bought a 450w psu last year for my radeon 9800, will that run it?
