Heh, I think that was the point. He had me for about 1/16th of a second, no more.

Halo till Microcrap bought em, and Team Fortress 2 (hopefully the excitment will be reborn).

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I'm pretty sure theres an easter egg at the end of the long e3 movie right after the strider shoots gordon. A bunch of colored objects show up. Watching it in slow motion, I can see one is Alyx, another the Gman, another one of the horse statues from...

If no one can tell a difference then yeah, thats fine. But graphics chip makers can only tweak so much performance out of their cards without sacrificing quality, and nvidia has a lot catching up to do. Benchmarkers have been complaining some time now that graphics cards are becoming too hard...

just turn up your gamma in display properties to turn the brightness up, should carry over to all your games....

It still makes a big difference. These sort of modifications should be up to the user to decide whether to implement or not. The optimizations that we are referring to are ones that degrade image quality, even if its only a small amount. The user should be the one deciding whether or not to...

Same here. We'll know more tommorrow when the hardware sites start releasing their benchmarks. I think anandtech.com is releasing it at midnight tommorrow, not sure when the other sites will be releasing theirs... It will be interesting to see just what the detonator 50 drivers do performance...

New drivers wont do sh*t. Well, they may make benchmark scores go up drastically, but true gameplay will be just as slow, which is all that really matters. Valve even said for people benchmarking with Half-life 2 to not use the detonator 50.xx drivers because they know nvidia will stick at least...

My thought exactly, but I'm thinking Half-life 2 is being released on Steam more as a proof of concept. Valve doesn't expect to make any sort of profit off of steam with the release of Half-life 2, it is just another means for people to get the game who were going to buy it anyway. But its just...

At first I thought the whole $9.95 subscription to steam was the most retarded idea ever. But then I got to thinking....$9.95 to rent any valve game for an entire month. Now that isn't a big deal since valve only has a few games under their belt, and they are all games you want to keep for more...
