| 256197 | 2004-07-29 13:13:00 | I have to admit, I'm completely underwhelmed by the latest offerings from Intel. I might just squeeze that last drop of performance out of my 875P chipset if you don't mind Metla ;) Lo. |

He's fun to talk to though, and I would like to > support his shop You need to look a bit further than Vivian St for a specialist unless, you wandered into the wrong shop ;) Go nForce chipset, Abit, Asus possibly Gigabyte. Get a goodish case with PSU and use the onboard sound in the meantime so you can get the board, CPU, video card and RAM you want (need). Cheers Murray P |

| 256202 | 2004-07-29 21:35:00 | I've cleaned up what is otherwise a decent thread. The rules aren't hard, they aren't complicated, and they are there for a reason, one of which is so I don't have to waste my time cleaning up a thread when I could be doing more productive things. It makes me bitchy and I'm liable to do something bitchy as a result. And since I'm off the coffee today since I feel guilty about it when I visit the dentist (as I will do today) I am even more bitchy than usual. Suffice to say that the discussion of relative maturity and intelligence that took place here between two folks served only to demonstrate that neither is capable of reading instructions, which indicates both are lacking in some measure of maturity and intelligence. Or maybe they were both off the coffee too. I choose to believe the later for now. Please do not repeat the exercise. |

| 256203 | 2004-07-29 21:44:00 | and back onto the actual topic www2.hardocp.com you could try this they reckon they are teaming up with id software to bring this guid but your best option is to prob wait till it comes out, look what happened with halo and some nividia cards no one saw that coming and they ran really bad with it |

| 256204 | 2004-07-29 22:19:00 | I fail to see how the "coded by a monkey" Halo had anything to do with Nvidia cards,The game had issues,not the hardware. | metla (154) | ||
| 256205 | 2004-07-30 00:53:00 | Definately, Halo had performance issues NOT seen on Nvidia cards with other games. My Ti 4400 choked on Halo at 1024 x 768!!! - runs absolutely fine on Far Cry at the same res, with much more eye candy on show. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 256206 | 2004-07-30 00:58:00 | Halo had issues with all brands of cards, Billions (excuse me while I exaggerate a tad) of ATI users reported performance issues. We can presume this was left as is due to them not giving a damn about PC users,while DOOM3 is being produced specificly for the PC market they will no doubt do everything to their ability to ensure that the game runs swish on as much hardware as possible. |
