I'll take it as a compliment comming from tech support at HP...

ULTRA GEEK...

Yeah it eclipses the 6800 GT 256MB cards, and runs neck and neck with the 6800 Ultras. The only thing it can't do is SLI, and although I even have a SLI board... ATI's IQ (Image Quality) has been the industry leader in the last 2-3 years. Can't say no to that.

Half-Life 2, 1280x1024, 6xAA, 16xAF, details maxed - 60-85FPS everywhere, 120+ at walls and simple areas. :blink:

Just ask Oscar. :)

Anyone else playing JO:TR or JO:E right now?

Hey Adam, someone broke into your house. Heard all they stole is your computer. Course as you know, I had nothing to do with this whatsoever... :rolleyes:

Ummm, I work in sales..not tech support. :o

Im with Anthony and Jay on this one...

you remind me of these guys...

1280x1024 .... doesnt sound like ...

Quote:It runs EVERYTHING at CRANKED settings... CRANKED.

To me....

Play splinter cell at 1600by1200 and watch your computer die. ;)

who the hell plays these games at such high res?? I have a 22" monitor and I only play at 1280x1024 and that is more than fine. sounds to me all this high res talk is like who has the bigger sausage



and for the record I am built like a tuna can

I'd love to bud, but I only have a 17" CRT :)

If I go to the 19" LCD I want, most are 1280x1024 too :)

Splinter Cell isn't all that demanding... I've played the demo, and it didn't cripple my old box.

Well if a a64 4000+ plus a ati850xt can only get low 40's in that resolution ... its demanding.

;)

And it has nothing to do with bigger balls ... its called .. piss of the nerds who think their computers are the best and watch them come up with excuses. Trust me im not a computer nerd in the slightest nor do I care about resolutions on games.

Ps... time to worry less about video and upgrade that monitor... =P
