    F.E.A.R. - All SP Games Should be made like this

    While I'm admittedly not the FPS afficcionado plenty of people are (I've really only played this, Far Cry, AA, and Marathon extensively), I thought FEAR was excellent. The combat, as everybody says, is incredible. The firefights make the rooms look incredible. The AI is brilliant, and if it's...

    I need the best bang for the buck basic Nvidia Linux supported card

    Turbo cache cards make use of system RAM rather like integrated graphics systems do; non-TC cards use onboard RAM.

    What else can I throw at my new 7800 GTX?

    If a game doesn't have AA, force it through the drivers.

    Help me overclock myh NF7 please!

    Ummmm.....11x22 is rather larger than 217x10.5. That could be your problem. ;)

    9800pro getting 4fps on high in bf2

    They don't cater to most people, they cater to enthusiasts who might buy a new video card to play one game.

    ATI Radeon X700

    Buy a 6600GT for $45 more if you want to play new games like BF2 at decent res and detail.

    7800GTX.... I AM IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!

    Holy crap. What's wrong with you people? The first half of his post was factually true. The NV40 may not have been a "blowout" but the 6600GT definitely dominated the midrange where all the money is made. Plus, it's an awesome new video card. I'm not buying another card for at least 1.5 years...

    What exactly is ATI?s SurroundView

    I'm pretty sure it's like Nview...you can use two PCIe video cards to get four displays, and then a fifth display off the integrated graphics of one of their motherboards.

    X800XL, XT or 6800GT?

    If you're running on a 5200 right now, I'd just get a 6600GT. :) Those can be had for $165, so I'm not sure how you think it's got the same pricetag as an X800XL. The jump in performance will be huge, and it'll save you money. Which is always good. Plus, this way you can upgrade in a year to...

    Best Motherboard Even Available Yet???

    The "pipes" on a video card refer to the pixel pipelines, which are used in the card to calculate how different pixels are lit and shadowed and such. The most pipes available on a video card is 24, on the new GeForce 7800. The "lanes" refer to how much bandwidth the physical PCIe slot (and the...

    Do you guys REALLY think there's going to be a 7800 Ultra with 32 pipes?

    They get the same number of cores/wafer with this as with the 6800(GT? Ultra? I forget. Read Guru3d's review if you care).

    Why are there Nvidia or ATI fanboys?

    SM 3.0 is more efficient than 2.0, though, isn't it? So even if you can't use the additional features, you turn them off and get better fps than with 2.0. :)
