    New Details on R600 emerging - ReScheduled to MAY Launch

    why hasn't anyone noticed that his steak references are horrible? The lowest one by his reckoning is the fillet mignon, but that's the best cut of beef you can get. T-bone is the top one lol, all his steak analogies are completely backwards unless he is talkin about size instead of quality...

    unlocking a 6800XT help

    well post your OC results here and maybe I can help you get a little more out of it. Like I said though if you really want to push it read up on volt modding. The extra voltage can give you some sick OC results. Try reading THIS article to learn more. morgash

    What's the best card for $200 or less?

    you do need vista for DX10, but the 8 series cards play DX9 games better than any current cards out. So their advantage is you get a card that CAN use DX10 if you decide to get vista, but it can also whoop @ss in DX9 games if you don't want to go to vista right now. A 7950gt would give a...

    unlocking a 6800XT help

    if they give ya arts then you are pretty much screwed. It means they disabled the pipes cuz they actually didnt work, not just to make a 6800xt. The extra vertex may give a very slight boost, probably not noticeable, but you already have it done so just leave it on. Ocing will help a bunch...

    Change of Topic: LCD release path for next few months

    OC that x2 3800+ to 2.6ghz, grab a 8800gts if ya have the cash and go with it. I havnt heard of any games coming out that will push a FX-60, even Alana wake should run ok since its dual core. If you want to do a complete overhaul do so in a year or more and grab a quad core when both AMD and...

    are these temps normal for a 6600GT agp?

    ummm if that is in celsius then hell yes that's WAAAAY too hot. At 125C you have probably done permanent damage to the GPU, especially if this has gone on long. With 4600 posts I would hope this is a joke thread. If not, your 6600gt is literally toast man, time for an upgrade. morgash

    What purpose does the video memory serve on video cards?

    as an example: THIS card would be much faster than THIS card despite having half the amount of total RAM. The first one uses much faster GDDR3 while the second uses slower and inefficient GDDR2 to cut costs. morgash

    What purpose does the video memory serve on video cards?

    Plus there is the fact that alot of companies exploit people by making cards with more RAM, but they use sh*tty RAM that is much slower to cut costs. That is why you end up with 256mb cards being faster than 512mb cards. It's all a marketing thing because they know that someone who knows...

    Woot objective achieved!!

    how am I in contempt of mod? I'm not doing anything, I simply complimented them on a great undermine of my thread. I would have never been that creative, I would have just left a mod quote. Instead of doing that though they just changed everything I said to make me look stupid and locked it...

    Woot objective achieved!!

    Well they changed my original statement in my locked thread to the following: JESUS H CHRIST. I AM A TOOL!!! morgash So I will take that as a mod quote despite the obvious pwnage and put it in my sig. Thanks for all who participated. morgash

    Look at me...

    well i guess I can always hope. You arn't truly cool on ATOT until you've been mod quoted and possibly banned. Not that I would inform the general populace that I was cool on ATOT, or that I was ever on here at all. Right now I'm tryin really hard to keep this hybrid jock/nerd thing going by...

    754+

    lol thanks. What I was trying to show in the Alan Wake article though was that it was running fine on a quad core proc and ONE 7900gt. If you get a C2D rig it will set you up perfectly for all the games coming out that are very heavy on physics and multiple threads such as Crysis PLUS that...

    Power Hungry

    an 8800gtx will run fine on that. Also considering the next gen of video ards are going to make the transition to performance per watt instead of raw performance you should be good to go for quite some time. morgash

    754+

    lol found that article. It was here on Anand. "Alan Wake was demoed during Paul Otellini's keynote on an overclocked Core 2 Quad system running at 3.73GHz, mainly because the game itself is significantly multithreaded and could take advantage of the quad-core system. While development is...

    754+

    the only problem I could see is you might actually get sh*t frames in the new games like alan wake and UT2007 that "supposedly" will only run well with dual core or higher procs. I read an article from the lead designer that said Alan Wake was designed for dual cores and could make use of up to...

    Football vs Rugby

    lol. That's right, people never get seriously injured in the NFL. If we overlook the many hundreds of serious injuries that occur every year, the multiple events of players being paralyzed from full speed head to head contact, the occasional death, you would be exactly right. In fact when I...

    Alright we have to options here if all this is true. These conclusions are drawn from the video which I just watched. 1. They have practiced that routine a WHOLE lot. In that case it's still sickening but whatever, if its for a dance competition better be a shiatload of money. 2...

    Football vs Rugby

    Oh I mean you are completely entitled to the opinion that rugby is more fun, everyone is. I personally enjoy football much more, that's just my opinion though. What we are trying to end is the statement that Football is for "pussies" and Rugby is for real men. I really think that they are...

    rumor mill - 8800gts 320 maybe only $50 cheaper than 8800gts 640

    soooo sooo true lol. A year ago I heard a Best Buy Geek squad guy telling a customer that he had viruses infecting his computer. The customer then asked what he could do. The Geek squad guy responded that they needed more RAM, and showed him a stick of DDR 333, 512mb. It was priced at 99.99...

    Football vs Rugby

    The recent thread about Football and Soccer and the subsequent and quite obvious statement that football was a pussified form of rugby reminded me of a study done that was referenced by a radio host on ESPN radio (Mike Golek from mike and mike). He said that in this study they determined that...

    DVI to Component Cable

    And one more thing, upconverting is the main thing that is not allowed over component because of copy protections. Upconverting DVD players tout their abilities to make your DVDs look even better on your HDTV. But if you bought your HDTV a few years ago and have only component-video inputs...

    DVI to Component Cable

    ahh my fault. I transcribed that incorrectly. It is in fact most televisions that will not support more than 480p over component. I know for a fact that Toshiba, Samsung, and Sony all have "upscaling" DVD players that only upscale past 480p if you use HDMI (I have had all three, quite...

    rumor mill - 8800gts 320 maybe only $50 cheaper than 8800gts 640

    lololol. Wow. If that turns out to be true it will be the most pointless video card to ever hit the shelves. "Ummm yes I need a 8800gts. However, it needs half the RAM of the regular one, AND, I really would love to pay about the same price. Do you have anything like that?" Bestbuy...

    DVI to Component Cable

    if he uses component won;t that be limited to 480p? I know that straight component is limited to 480p by really odd and annoing communications laws but I'm not sure how that would work if you go from the DVI port to a component cable. I guess theoretically they should be able to push high def...

    Best OC utility for NVidia card? (7900GTO)

    Don't use optimal, its about as useful as a knife at a gun fight. Raise the mem clocks to about 1600 right off the bat. You should easily get that with no volt mods. The core at 672 is probably pretty close to as high as you are gonna go without more voltage. Then download ATItool and use...

    What's the best card for $200 or less?

    depends really. You could get a 7900gt/7950gt and then step-up to a 8600 series when they come up if you want nvidia and like eVGA (i personally love eVGA, the only company I will ever buy nvidia from for the forseeable future). If you want ATI/AMD you could probably find a nice 1900xt 256mb...

    quoted for truth. it means he agrees with the guy he quoted. With the needs you posted the 7900gs will work fine. Try to get one from eVGA and if the mainstream G80 cards come out within 3 months from now you can upgrade to one of those for basically free(if they introduce a 8 series card at...
