My bad. I guess those of us who weigh ourselves pre and post dropping a deuce are truly elite.

Christmas List:

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Seems like he was real careful not to bash on Nvidia this time whereas on previous reviews like the 9600 Pro he said things like 'scoreboard ATi:3 Nvidia:0 but the game is far from over'

idk just an observation.

Btw I have a GeForce 5600 FX Ultra for sale

nvidia should just give up

EDIT: isn't doom going to use a special codepath just for nvidia as well? carmack had the same problems?

so when's the game coming out. it seems that only some benchmark demo is coming out on the 30th...

 

[IanthePez]

If Nvidia doesn't change things around, we'll only have 1 video company left....and that's bad for EVERYONE.

 

[Kev]

i'll have a gander at this tomorrow at work

Indeed. Oh wait, my gf just took care of that.


ZING!!

 

[dighn]

hmm i hope it'll run decently on my ti4200 and still look good. just got this card last summer and can't really justify buying a new card already, esp that i'm going to upgrade my 950mhz to a 2500+ barton

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

well, looks like I am f*d with my FX5600

oh well, I will get over it.



To remark on Anand's comment of nothing taxing video cards, just wait till Horizons comes out...should be interisting.

 

[Cooljt1]

yeah, the benchmark demo is supposed to come out september 30th and the game november
