Firing Squad looks into FarCry and the NV lines

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

If you've been following the FarCry saga, we've had IQ issues, *NEW* PS3.0 support (first in gaming to have a game before the card! Oh my!), then potential application detection in drivers, then DeviceID detection built into the game. Just a little bit more to pour gas, err.... water artifacts onto the fire.

Interesting to learn that PS2.0 is ONLY used for lighting, everything else uses 1.1. So what's all this about PS3.0?

Can you post some links substantiating your claims?

Sure.

X = variable.

Therefore, when X > than 7 then the 6800 is no match for the X800. :tongue:

Hmmm...if you gave me some money I might be able to buy that argument

As of yet you have only declared X to be a variable. It is thus uninitialized and I set it to constant X = -6! What now!!

Level-headed. . . I like that . . .

Ok, and then I set the variable values of N = to -7 and V= to +5 thereby once again NV6800<X800 !

Ahh I don't need your support, I'll pay a few "strangers" to swarm you, that way I save money, cause I'm keeping my money for beer for the hockey game.

Ok so back to the post, whats up with farcry boasting of the 3.0 pixel shading, where is it used?

Asus p4c800 Deluxe,1 Gig Mushkin PC3200 400 Mhz(2-2-2 cas),Pentium 4 3.0 512k 800Fsb HT, Thermaltake Xaser III, Thermaltake Spark 7+,WD 80 Gig 7200,GeForce 4 MX440 (PCI),Nec Multi-Sync LCD 1830

However, since they are not consts, I can reassign them.
Const N = 7;
Const V = 5;
What now?! ha!

Or you could keep it simple: 10800>6800....and XT is a sh!tload cooler than Ultra.

Maxtor disgraces the six letters that make Matrox.

 

[flamethrower205]

Nah, cause which sounds better. Sixty-eight hundred or ten eight hundred. Sixty flows much better.

Well from GW's videos, I'd say the X800 will likely sound better. :tongue:

Also "Over Ten Gs" sounds much nicer than "almost 7 Gs" 😎

Especially since one is 'supposed' to be a G-force to be reckoned with. 😱

By that argument, a radeon is more uncomfortable since 10 G's are painful, almost seven are less so :tongue:
