Got mostly old stuff at the mo...

Hmm, here goes:
UT2k3
NWN+Shadows of Undrentides (playing it third time around)
Morrowind Elder scrolls III (boy this game is huge!)
Freelancer 4 (completed but goin through it again)

Thats about it

Whilst I realize that, yes, it is very hard to do comparisons because of the architechture differences – and I fully agree... So why the hell are we arguing..??? Oh, so it’s all about hardware choice now. I’m sorry. I never caught on. Silly rabbit. For the businesses maybe not, but for your a...

Didnt your parents tell you not to laught at peoples misfortunes?

I really havent seen any IQ impovements from 3.8, but thats because i havent had time to play games recently. However i benchmarked my system with Aquamerk and the score improved by about 300marks. Not impresive but an improvement nonetheless. There was something in the driver notes about these 3.9 ...

Fish! I just wanted to hear ppls thoughts on the article thats all. I wouldnt buy the card neither. This guys have no track record what so ever, everything would have to be taken with a pinch of salt. The good thing is that this might bring the prices of the Nvidias and ATIs down in the long run. Th...

All you radeon owners, the catalyst 3.9 drivers are out. If any of you are using them, please tell how they perform!!

I'm d/ling them now. Will give you my view on the morrow

*hope noone has posted this already...*

If I new anything about macs, i'd have a thing or two to say here... But i dont. So all i can say is - Thank you Greywolf and bb_matt for your input. That'll keep Bondi at bay for sometime...but then again maybe not. He probably post another long one, and i'm gonna sit back, read, and have good laug...

Come now Greywolf, we wanna hear your counter comments...

Is your refresh rate at default setting? Try unchecking the 'show frequencies the monitor cant display' in display settings.

Shot in the dark, but it might help.

This might have been posted sometime back...not too sure. Anyhow this is the GFX card that SIS claims will give you 5500 marks in 3DMark2003, thats 9800XT and 5900Ultra territory... Its called the XGI Volari V8...thats right V8 Read on.. http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031107/index.html

Didnt see that.

Thanks simmy

Thanks SnowMonkey!

Erm...
thanks GreyWolf. I'll swing by the place and see if they have any stock...

Seriously now

I'll write that again...

I think that card is a hoax...

Im no expert, but wouldnt that thing need special drivers or something to tell the games what to do with the four GPUs...?

If its not, its one hell of a card!!

*Much Better*

I think that card is hoax...

Im not expert but wouldnt that thing need special divers or something to tell the games what to do with the four GPUs...??

If its not, its one hell of a card!!

Im trying get me a Logitech 'Internet Navigator Special Edition' Keyboard.
Does any one know where i can get one? Not one reseller in the Eatern Cape can get me one...

Shweet!

Thanks bb_matt...

People, how come none of you lot are talking about Duty? A few months ago i got a mate from the US to mail me a 9700pro that cost about R2600. I had to pay the post office R600 duty... The thing is, i only ordered the card because it was on the news that no duty would be charged on computer componen...

Watchin it tonite at roxbury...

Hmm...Why did i like the first and second movies?

I suppose the answer is 'infinite possibilities'. It had me thinking for days on end after the first one.

I maintain it will probably be one the best trilogy of my generation...

Stop showing off!!

Thats a great score dude. I got a little over 33000. Your machine must be a beast.

I have 2600+, Tyan 9700pro, 512mb 333DDR, WD 40gb HDD...

What are you specs??

I had a problem with those drivers few weeks ago... they messed about with my icons and the refresh rate. I could not enable fast write and agp 8x in smartgart tab. Since everyone was raving on about how good these drivers were (i.e major boost in 3dMark scores etc) i really wanted to see what they ...

Laurence, i have to agree with RyanRich...those scores seem right at default settings. I have a 2600+, GA 7VAXP, TYAN 9700PRO, 512Mb DDR333. My gfx card is tweaked but the CPU is at std settings and i get these scores: 3dMark2001SE - 13386 3dMark2003 - 5030 You obviously can get better scores but th...

To agryrabbit, who are you calling stupid? I was simply making a point that while macs are rock solid, it boils down to economics...and most ppl would agree here. We all want a machine that performs and hardly falls over, but such **** costs man...and i dont need some arrongant prick rubbing it my f...

To the man in mac-land... Sure you like your macs, and true as it may be that the mac is ergonimically correct, i have a question for you... HOW MUCH does your mac cost? I have a machine thats worth about R7500, and i get about 13200 3D marks from it. How many do you get? As it is, i get about 1.76 ...

Its goin to get worse! i heard from amate that owns a computer shop that Office 2003 is goin to cost R3000+...
Who in zeus' name is goin to pay that much for office??
