Well I can say I enjoyed games more when I was younger but now most of the games bore me. The only game that I could play for hours and hours without being bored is Half-life 2. For me the Half-life 2 is the perfect game.
Everything is good except the mobo and cpu. I suggest you buy a Neo2 Platinum S939 mobo and 3200+ 90nm cpu. Better performence when overclocked. You can OC it to 2.5-2.55 ghz with stock cooler
Whats SDK?
And I would be happier if we got new CS:S models than a new map. But I'm really hoping it will be hl2 multi-player. I think Valve wanted us to complete the game first(majority of us) and then let us have Multi-player, since if it was released the same day as hl2 it would spoil...
You sure about that? If you read this: http://www.gamescathedral.de/gamescat/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2600
It says x900 is supposed to have 560 mhz core and 600 mhz memory
those cards looks good but PCI-E only......and what about the x900 series, they are expected to be released in january so I would rather wait for them.
Troubles with 520 mhz core? Where did you read that? Some XTs can go above 600 mhz with stock cooling.
Doom 3 uses 512 mb so nothing is wrong to have 512 mb card ;)
ATI will continue with AGP too for quite awhile, right? Since not many has PCI-E now.
Edit: According to them, the x900 series will be released in January. I might sell my X800 XT PE and get that one then :)
Found a german site: http://www.gamescathedral.de/gamescat/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2600
Says it will have 560 mhz core and 600 mhz memory and comes in 2 versions 256 mb and 512 mb. Don't know if its worth to upgrade if you currently have x800 xt pe
I bought the same system as your sig (except the mobo, which is Neo2 Platinum and ram) and paid for it about $1500, how much did you pay for your system? ;)
There will be allways someone thats not statisfied with a game. Even if someone makes the perfect game there will be some that thinks its an "avarange game".
Haha.....far cry....reminds me of when I wanted to finish the damn game but couldn't....the game bored me out after 1h of playing, and I was trying servial times to not get bored but it allways did lol.
About HL2, I'll be honest here. Not saying it like a fan boy or something but the truth...
Yes I'm a fan boy but I'm also fan to the other games aswell. Look if you like cartoon graphics then yes Far Cry is the game for you.
Enough said
Edit: And do not say that Far Cry doesn't look cartoonish. Just compare the palms and water for an exemple. Which one looks realistic and...
Have you looked at Far Cry's labs like that and doom 3s?
I have played all 3 games and I can easily say that hl2 graphics is the best. I'm playing all at 1600x1200 on MAX settings, what about you?
