    What happened to wow1-6? :)

    Looks nice, is it a resource hog though? If I can play, erm...*checks games*... FarCry, could I play HL2 with no problems?

    What happened to wow1-6?

    LOL i know,to be honest i thought the first six screenies i took were from nice locations until i got to 7,8,9 :)

    It runs superb for me on this machine with anything from 40-90fps out in the rather large open spaces and up to 200 fps indoors.
    NOTE: i have gfx settings running FSAAX2 and AAX8.
    I havent tried with FSAA off but im sure it would yield lot better framerate,on the flip side im sure the screenshots would look so much better if i upped FSAA to X4 and AA to X16.
    It runs a lot better than Farcry for me anyways so id say you be fine,
    heres my spec so you can compare.

    P4 2.8 800FSB,512 DDR muschkin,Radeon 9800 Pro.

    Excuse me, but I think you might have just stolen those words right out of my mouth. Any chance I could have them back?

    Ok then, here is a fairly simple, tho nice shot of when you are exiting one of the tunnels in the water sections (near start). Nice glow from the sky on the water..

    ATI get TWICE the framerate over NVidia cards...TWICE!!! :D

    Runs savage on my system anyway. Im running it off S-ATA too so it loads in about 10 seconds or so...same as every other game i have...

    If you can run Farcry then HL2 will be fine.

    When are you going to stop posting this mis-information? Seriously? Being an ATI fanboy is no excuse for posting incorrect information repeatedly.

    As plenty of people have already pointed out to you in the other thread (that you never replied in), those results are ancient and have been proven wrong. Check any of the myriad of newer reviews/articles since then. Results are on par for both brands. "Twice the FPS" is bull.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    but I want it to run twice as fast on my machine than on my mates pc :(


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,432 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peteee


    jesus kaimera, you ahve a 9600xt and i have a 6800.... hardly, even if ATi are better :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    I hate you pete...

    /me prepares to rob said 6800 from the proverbial pete's machine


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,432 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peteee


    go ahead, i glued it in MWHAHAHAHAHA *cough cough wheeze* MWHAHAHAHA

    and anyway, you only have a lappy in the apartment, the card alone is bigger then your lappy

    Jessus Christ.....they are sweet looking pictures which would make me want to buy a new rig just to play the dam game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,485 ✭✭✭✭Khannie


    Jesus DCully. Wow7 is the wowiest of the three methinks.

    You playing at 1024x768? Any anti aliasing on the go there? (I noticed some jaggies in that picture, but it is the most stunning computer rendered in-game image I have ever seen).

    Please be aware of some tiny spoilers, actually no there is no spoilers really, just gameplay. If anyone wants me to remove the images and just show the links ill do that because of dialup or whatever. Been too busy playing to post screens, but just did some up there now

    start screen, random screen every time you load up, its 3d also, so its moving!

    Wow great screens everyone. Even so they can't capture how amazing smooth the gameplay is.

    I'm pleased to say Terminator's speedomitor only looks slightly better than mine.
