    Info and Illustration about Normal Maps

    I thought it would be good to clarify a bit about what exactly normal maps can do, their effects, and what a *precision normal map (with DX9/R3X card) versus a normal map you could achieve with an older/NV3X card. While normal maps have existed for awhile, I think that DX 9 is the first to...

    It's not just valve having problems with NV and DX 9.0/pixel shader 2.0 TR Angel of Darkness and HALO both exhibit bad performance on the NV3X GPUs!

    Starting to worry..

    Starting to worry..

    Try this. It sounds like a motherboard issue. Set everything to fail safe defaults, reboot, try the games. Then, slowly enable performance options in the BIOS including memory timing, etc. You might also want to experiment with the AGP settings. Do you get hard locks or crashes within...

    Official Steam Rape Thread

    Umm dude, it works fine. Just install it, reboot, click on auto-update and it works. Stop these threads, they are everywhere. We need good, logical discussions here, not this drivel!:borg:

    Question about Blood Effects

    Knowing that this is Half-Life yes, most likely there will be plenty of blood, but I bet it's more realistic than HL1. That said, wait till the 30th. No doubt a mod will be released where you can gib to your hearts content.

    The Rabbit Hole Goes Deeper

    http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NTE5LDQ= This is for those of you who said that Valve is sucking up to ATI or vice-versa. Check out the last slide. Not sure if it's been posted, but he covered his bases! There is also double confirmation of the 30th being benchy release day.

    Athlon OR Pentium for HL2!?

    Java, certain parts of the P4 really DO suck. The FPU's and the branch prediction for instance...

    Athlon OR Pentium for HL2!?

    Wait for the Athlon64. AMD>Intel. The P4 relies exclusively on its high bandwidth of memory, it's a poorly designed chip otherwise, and clock for clock an Athlon XP whips it.
