Hi all

Do you remember the forum about last months(October) Mag.
The one where you all pointed out the mistakes on the back of the mag.

Did anyone notice that they fixed up all the mistakes & replaced the pinball game on the monitor with a racing game.

Post by **Kronos** » 29 Oct 2003, 09:11

They didn't fix all the mistakes. Sure, at least the spelling errors are gone and they are driving a racing game,
but there is still no keyboard,
there are still dolls and that girlie pencil box
and the driver is still not looking at the screen.

Well at least they tried

Not about to start a gender war, but why does it grates on your senses that dolls and girly stuff should not be together with the boys and the cars? Perhaps he's playing on his sister's computer?

It could be the kids' play room!?! But that's not the point. It's just VERY Stupid to have such mistakes in an Ad. But as Tamsini pointed out last month, Why are they using a picture of kids??? we're mostly adults here. Haw many under 10 yo kids read pcf? That picture doesn't appeal to anyone really. They could have filled that space with some technical details or at least more hardware pics.

halo · Post by **halo** » 29 Oct 2003, 14:18

the same thing with that young girl and the laptop..... i think they should have a 16 or so year old guy play on a kiss bottom machine as an ad.... lets c who over here fits that describtion................. why ME

Post by **Kronos** » 29 Oct 2003, 15:00

I agree with you half way. They should Have a 16 yo GIRL playing

I've actually got a gripe about the video card supertest! I reckon it was quite biased towards Geforce cards, there were very few Radeons!! Only in the performance category(But at prices way beyond any average guys pocket)and I'm rather cheesed off, there was like one Radeon in the mainstream and budget line. I wanna comparison between Ati and nVidia cards, not Geforce against Geforce!.So ja, that's my gripe.

Hill · Post by **Hill** » 29 Oct 2003, 19:47

Weren't there 2 Radeons in the Super Test. I'll have to check myslf.

As for the Crome demo. Awesome. I really enjoyed playing it. Finished it too quickly though. Will have to increase the difficulty level again.

Can't wait for the full game.

The fact of the matter is that the Radeons are more expensive than their Geforce counterparts, so there are more options in the Geforce range when you're in the midrange to budget market.

OnlyOne, would you say the Ti4600 is a high-end or mainstream card?

halo · Post by **halo** » 30 Oct 2003, 12:03

I'd say that the Ti4600 is now a mainstream card, it's still very fast, but it doesn't support DX9, so might start lagging on newer games (that's in comparison to say a Radeon 9800pro!).

Also the reason that there were no Radeons in the mainstream range is that, it seems as though all the mainstream Radeon cards have been discontinued. Rectron no longer sells the 9700 or the 9700pro. We'll have to wait and see what cards Radeon brings out to satisfy the mainstream (majority) market!

NinjaTic you said

i think that ti 4600 is still high end even though its doesnt support dx9, its still the best geforce4 that was made and still kicks the 'newer' geforce fx's.
