[QUOTE="blazethe1"]i still say theres no point in them yet until bioshock comes out, and by the end of the year new cards should come out. seriously, you cant even use the dx10 awsomeness until some games come out. wait for crysis or bioshock. you'll be glad you waited. whats the worst that could happen, the price drops?Bebi_vegeta

On what resolution do you play your games?



ive got a standard widescreen 1440x900
im planning though, when crysis comes out, to use my dads 32" LCD as a monitorwhen no ones using itlol. i havnt checked what the res on that is though.

LOL, youll need one heck of a card then to play at full potential!


and i plan on getting it, when i need it.

*allows you to use more than 4 gigs of ram

its all about how the processor stores and reads information. technical stuff.
what you need to know is that while 64 bit is hip and NOW, its not widely supported and you may run into incompatibilities with some of your older programs. i personally hav both disks for home premium. the retail update allows you to send in $10 and get the 64bit disk too. but im waiting to use it.

home premiums what you want. ultimate has a bunch more crap you wont use.

[QUOTE="Pdiddy105"][QUOTE="D9-THC"][QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"][QUOTE="D9-THC"]

AMD will change their strategy before they go bankrupt.

They're already giving up on being the "best and fastest."

They're almost starting to take a Wii approach of "we know we're not the fastest, but for the price you can't beat it." I would expect them corner to the "bargain" market. Just look at what they did with ATi and the 2900...

D9-THC

The wii approach has nothing to do with this! They want the no gamers to be casual gamers.

And from what i've seen, Nvidia has better middle-range cards then ati. I was expecting way more of the 2900 when it was hyped back then. And where's the 2900xtx version?

The Wii appeals to more people because of its lower price tag. That the comparison I was trying to draw. They don't try to hide the fact that their hardware is less powerful.

you defend the wii yet your sig states the xbox is endangering the future of gaming? ironic...

I defended the Wii?

It is a fact, not an opinion, that the Wii sells better than any other console and one of the main reasons is the price.

AMD and ATI are aware that there is a section of the market that looks for bargains and they attempt to appeal to that section of the market...people who want to game on the cheap.


k,he defended the wii and not xbox....

i see nothing out of the ordinary. in extreme cases, he would be called a fanboy. so what?

well since i sorta need to get the card before the game comes out i figured i should ask it anyway. but it is a forsure that i can run it with the 320 max? what if i get say i get the widescreen equivelent of my moniter in the future?(sorry dont know the exact specs on the res)nickoftime8593


and explain WHY you "need" it before the game comesout. im likely going to have a little self control and wait to see whats out at that time and what runs best. next gen nvidia cards and the R650 are supposed to be out by the end of the year. these cards are weak first run attempts at dx10 cards

im seriously just gonna wait for the next gen of cards, or the 2950, but that all depends. next gen of nvidia cards should come out by the end of the year i think, hopefully not long after crysis releases, but even if it is im waiting untilthey figure out a more reliable dx10 solution
