quite frankly, i'm dissapoined by the 60fps on radeon 9800pro as well. with fsaa and as on, what will i get? 30? maybe less? i just paid over $1000 for a computer that barely runs the latest game?
java is completely oo so yes you can.
i'm nearly an oo purist. that's probably no good for my career, but oh well.
i do use procedural when i am optimizing.
valve will most likely end up pulling a team fortress. counterstrike 2 will be promised, it will get delayed, they will release "counterstrike classic" for the source engine. six years later we will get cs2 on a new engine.
:D
well, on the thermaltake site it says to put it between the cpu and heatsink, and apparently it should only add ~1-2 degrees celcius. however when i did this and started up i was running 60 idle ;\
i took it off and now it just sits in there measuring the general air temp inside my case...
i used all defaults. no fsaa/af with default detail and performance levels in both 3dsmark and the control panel gfx card settings.
edit: and i'm referring to 3dmark2001, not '03. i don't even know if i can run '03 because the gf4 ti's are dx8 cards.
