Take this guide and shove it up your ass. You dont even understand how graphics cards work much less be able to recommend the right one to somebody....

Ironically I just found a book on the net, about 1700 pages, on Graphics programming. If you're interested, I can link you to it. I would love to buy it (40-50$ ain't a lot for such), but alas, until I find it out if it caters to absolute newbies, I can't. I'd also love a book that goes into GPU architecture in-depth.
Oh well, it all starts somewhere huh?

I really want a resource of that caliber myself. When I saw davepermen & GenticWeapon battle against one another in the past, I felt so "in the dark" if you know what I mean. It's ironic though that most of us are probably considered "highly technical" about computers with the people that we meet off the web. But when we come here, we just find out how much of a n00b we really are.

There was a saying that reflects that pretty well, which I agree with you so much on (when in Multimedia Computer class, I look like the smartest whiz that could have invented the PC, but when I come here, I'm like the guy everyone can pick on for bad info!) : The more you learn, the less you know! (or it was something along the lines of knowing more makes you realize how little you know)
I just found an acclaimed very beginner guide on 3d Math. Knowing that I can't get through 3d programming without some serious Math, and I don't have that in my Multimedia college program (and I dunno if I want complementary math classes that harden everything and evaluate me to death!), I just might give this book a look. I could then move into 3d Programming books.

oh shut up GW
i dont understand how people can insult other people by saying " you don't know anything about (blank) and i do so go shoot yourself" erm? did i say i know alot? hmm maybe i put clearly in the title! "Graphic card buying guide for noobs"? hmmm ever occur to you most people have better things to do in life other then knowing different rendering methods??? do u realise 90% of the people that comes here, all they want to do is get a video card that can play the games they want to play? do they give a F*** what Pixel Shaders can do?
now you can start craping about how i donno dips*** about video cards, but do i need to know these knowledge to tell what video card people should buy? if so, therefore you're insulting thousands of sellsman at computer stores. You also don't realise the age difference? in 10-20 years time, i have absolutely no reason to know less then u.
psssss...... wasted some much time here.

Before I can start getting this thing together, I need to know one thing, what type of file or document do you want me to compile? I don't know what software you have & I don't want to create a spreadsheet document just to find out that you don't have MS Excel? Would you prefer a spreadsheet, BTW? That's what I've originally had in mind, but if you have some other document suggestions, please inform me otherwise.

I wish I had a place to start and book versions of what he linked. (I really don't want no more web stuff, it is annoying to waste time every day on the screen not being able to do other things, not to mention I have college and it takes my time. What I want is a good old traditional any-time accessed book. I feel it helps loads, and I can sit down in free-time when bro isn't on the comp and read and enjoy)
The latter is of secondary importance however, as first I need to get some guidance on where to start to get into learning 3d graphics. I don't know if I want to go into C programming though. Them books get so complex and it's no longer my thing. At some point it sounded like there's a difference in each, as in C for making the game and a basic startup language for the graphics.
Oy, where's Dave!

Whoops, I was just about to respond to you but a PM interupted my focus.
Oh & on the last test there was a question that read something like "Which is true about Laptops"? I answered the E - none of the above, but the correct answer was something like "Notebook computers have just as much computing power as Desktop PCs" And I'm like Yeah, they're CLOSE in today's terms but there are still some gaps in the technology like Hard Drives on these babies only operating at 4600 RPM & the best Graphics Cards available for laptops is a Mobility Radeon 9600 (I don't even think its a "Pro" is it?)
Oh & GW, could you pardon me this time for getting off topic?

Hey the same applies to me in Computer Science class & all the computer classes that I've taken. I wanted to take Computer Programming course for basic Java Scripting, but I got booted out of the course the first day of class because I didn't meet the prerquisites of having "Computer Literacy" course. 😡 !! I'm like thinkin' WTF, the people in the class on the first day were saying things to me like, "You should be teaching the course. (which I don't agree with them because my "programming" experience is basically limited to a couple simple QBASIC math programs that could calculate the area of a a square or a circle & a little bit of messing around with HTML which I haven't looked at in a couple years & most of which I accomplished with the help of my dad.) But that's beside the point, I think I could have handled the course, but no matter what I did, I couldn't convince the teacher to let me take the programming course :frown: . So far, in Computer Literacy, I haven't really learned much that I haven't been exposed to yet.

Yes, a book would be the optimum resource in situations like these. Also, at hardware sites, all the technical info is mixed up between reviews, & performance comparisons so its really hard to find articles dedicated to explaining the really technical stuff, they are usually incorporated once within a review (you have to be lucky & happen to click on the right one), but there are exceptions though. Still I like the idea of the book the best to get the bulk of the information down, & then websites to keep us informed about all the new stuff when it comes around rather than having to poke around browsing archives back from 1996 and attempting to determine what <i>might</i> be the right article that I'm looking for.

Alright guys, I've got an idea. I'm currently working on a Term Paper about the History of Video Cards & I think I might put it up in the Website that we're builing & continue to regularly modify this Paper as new technology evolved & until I'm satisfied with the history of the old stuff. It's going to be brief (and probably plagued with errors at first) but I'll continue with its development until its configured to everyone's liking (hopefully even to brand-biased people too , but I'm not counting on this). I have an outline pending that I just whipped up in only a few minutes, & I think it needs some revising. I'll present in a later post because class starts in less than 20 minutes. I hope I can get endorsement on this idea because this is something I would really enjoy maintaining. So, tell me what you guys think, (even if it means bashing me & grinding my idea to a pulp :frown: ).
