I cant wait for the 4870's to come out to get one and give NVIDIA a break from my wallet.I only owned one NVIDIA in my lifetime and I am tired of them already. RADEON man thats me.
From my experience with vista so far it mostly wants system memory not cpu 2gigs to 4 gigs necessary . And it really needs it have you checked out aero glass its beautiful than any mac os.I AINT EXAGGERATING JUST the way it performs on idle is beautiful I am a believer . I dont think this OS is for everyone and I dont see why M$OFT should force people to buy what they dont need alas all early adopters are testers for microsoft and other software hardware companies ,and you all are right this wont get right until service pack 2 .ANYWAYS THis OS NEEDS WORK JUST LIKE XP DOES EVEN NOW. NO OS IS PERFECT.
Wow is this true or microsoft just trying to pull a fast one on us .http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/facts.mspx This link states that VISTA is on par or FASTER than XP.I want to know if this is true or a misprint .
ATI has the best card out now , even with the crappy 9600gt nvidia card out . If nvidia wants to compete against ati the 9800 x2 will have to retail for $500 us dollars the most if not so long NVIDIA.Folks this is not a power war its a price war and you guys should stop being bias because I for one switch to whoever as the best deals (with power in mind of course).THE 3870x2 is for $450us at some places and it is better than the still overpriced 8800 ultra .I am getting one of these cards but waiting first like a smart consumer would to see if the 9800x2 is better in price and power then I will make my decision if I want NVIDIA or ATI. I am Gaming with a 8800 nvidia now .Not picking sides just making CENT$.
Well the only redeeming part for AMD for now is the anticipation of its PHENOM FX quad cpu's.And oh yeah that cpu was designed for games . It will be out next year, thats the one I am waiting for not this turd.AMD 4 LIFE. But I call it like I see it .Too much patch talk for me.
this will go good with the new PHENOM quad core processors from AMD . man and those new pci express 2.0 mobo's next year is looking mighty fine. I will upgrade soon and give myself a early birthday . MY BIRTHDAY IS IN JULY.:)
Wonky_joe I know that but I prefer seeing those games being put into the dx 10 card test .Wouldn't you because these cards were specifically designed for dx 10 in mind not 9 or 8 but 10 .I wouldn't have any problem if they were testing to see if these cards could do dx 9 games better than the dx 9 cards but they are testing to see which card is more powerful,you know what why don't gamespot go and get that crysis early build, and test it instead I would feel much better because it would make sense to buy or wait .I know ati and nvidia would not like that . the last videos of crysis shows a lot of potential I wouldn't mine getting just a 5 second run through the jungle with that demo .Gamespot get it together please I want to see dx 10 games and I have not seen or heard anything about these games running on these cards because of all this I also uninstall may vista off my computer can't be bothered with crap o.s. that is not necessary till crysis comes out of course.
You know all these test don't mean nothing to me show me halo 2 ,lost planet ,and shadowrun bars and stop showing dx 9 games please dx 10 games are out what you trying to say dx 10 aint crap its out the last time i checked and thats what these cards are built for dx 10 ,yeah its still compatible with dx 9 games yeah now move on , and whoever is gaming on those high resolution monitors don't need gamespot help because they are rich or have a business just stick to low and medium settings .If I had 2560 x 1600 kind of moneyI would just buy the card or monitor any problems just carry it back simple want the best buy the most expensive or premium . Look at what I am saying old games on old O.S. don't make no sense if the newer one is readily available be up to date please .
