naw ill still get the game.. i must admit im a little peeved that they did this 6 days before supposed release... since i had my system all upgraded, formated and ready to go.. and now i just wasted my time and money, but oh well.. whatcha gonna do?
its true... newer graphics cards, and newer games get a very small performance increase by moving to 16bit color.. mostly because they are tweaked to run in 32bit color.
in the tnt days your framerate would get halved if you tried 32 bit
thats because awesome games take time to make.. and developers dont estimate good enough... half life has been nearly 8 years in the making. i think thats enough time.
dont make any assumtions yet... cus when you ass-u-me... you make an ass out of u and me.
those are bad screenshots... they show hardly any dx9 features... load up the new movie that was released today, you will be missing alot of those features
since when does water cooling suck? water cooling is the best method of cooling down a hot cpu... and its very quiet too.. the noise from my pc is killing me slowly
