Ah Shad0hawK, you remind me of my 13 year old brother.
Boy, all this pro-nVidia shit you are placing in our faces and prancing around saying you are right makes you mature. Guess what? I just bought a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with my new computer! Muahahaha! You can't stop me! No one can! :borg...
Isn't PCI express the new slot technology that will be something upwards of 10 times faster than AGP? I don't know all the statistics. :)
Theres a thread about it on these forums somewhere, but I wouldn't worry right now because it doesn't come out until 2004.
The card at the HL2 E3 demo was an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and it has been said it ran at about 60 fps. I'm not sure what resolution and what AA and AF settings were on but the resolution had to be at least 1280x768 (it was a widescreen).
:sniper:
Are you smoking crack?
Stalkers graphics are pretty much equal to Half-Life 2 period, and both of them have small advantages over the other (STALKER has better hands, Half-Life 2 has a much more advanced facial system), and what the fsck are you saying when you say Stalker's weapons look no...
My computer-in-a-box that just came today but hasn't been hooked up (Alienware), and no I'm not joking:
(CPU) Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz
(RAM) 1024 MB PC3200 DDR Corsair XMS RAM (2x512mb Modules)
(GFX) NVIDIA® GeForceFX 5900 Ultra 256mb 8x AGP
(SOUND) Creative Sound Blaster® Audigy 2...
Call me stupid (because I am), but what exactly is a pipeline and how many does the 5900 have and how many does the 9800 Pro have? I'm guessing it has something to do with the GPU.

I wub u all! :cheers:
Haha, my brother bought a 8500 LE when it first came out. How dumb is that?
True, the FX has been abysmal up until the 5900, and I still think I'm opting for the Radeon 9800 Pro for my new computer.
From all that I can gather from the 3+ "unbiased" review sites I visited, the AMD Athlon 3200+ is roughly equal to the Intel Pentium 4 3.0ghz, but the Pentium 4 3.2 ghz takes the cake.
That's bullshit. The game isn't optimized for any one card, it's just built on Microsoft DirectX/3D. I wonder if VALVe knows anything about ATi's claims.
Well I won't have Windows XP (Pro) until I get my new computer in 1-2 weeks, so heres my current deskie:
