393706	2005-10-06 01:48:00	How can you say that if you have never seen them? Or are you referring to the renders that have been made on the PC? Suggest people dont blow the next generation trumpet untill it arrives and can be judged, especially when run through a NZ low resolution TV.	Metla (12)

I run a Philips 109Es 19" CRT monitor. Before the Leadtek card I had a Gainward Geforce 4 4200 TI 64mb card. I thought I had a good picture with this card, but when I upgraded it was like WOW it was like a 100% improvement to what I had. Trevor :)	Trev (427)

There are a few games that don't swap texture ram, but its incredibly poor coding.	Battleneter (60)

You DO want 256mb on the card but for best results a high end card as well as lost of ram on it. I tried the F.E.A.R demo both with and without anti-aliasing and it made stuff all difference to the detail level.	pctek (84)

Trevor :) Keep in mind the Shader ability improvements on the 6800GPU is miles ahead of the old TI. Good cards those old TI's, were miles ahed of there time.	Battleneter (60)

I tried the F.E.A.R demo both with and without anti-aliasing and it made stuff all difference to the detail level. Actually I am Biasied as I am waiting for my new 6800Gt 256MB to arrive from the states. But I went for the 6800GT 256 because of it's pixel shader 3.0 ability that those two ATI cards dont have, I think the ATI X8x generation may suffer from the lack of that ability in the near future. I have read you can't see much AA benefit in FEAR until your up around 1600x1200, but I certainly don't have the card to test it currently lol You can see a HUGE difference in BF2 and COD2 Demo when AA is turned up, those two are basically what have made me upgrade.

It was on 1600. And also testing with the fear demo, although lesser cards than mine, it did make a big difference with the 256mb over 128. Whatever, all games are different and I'm happy. But getting back to the original question. If you have the money buy a high end card with 256mb, whether you like Nvidia or ATI.	pctek (84)

393714	2005-10-06 02:50:00	I am getting a "good" picture. I just want a better one. I know that FS9 can produce it. I am useing antistropic filtering and anti-aliasing both running at maximum setting but still get some blurring and shimmering around the edges of buildings. When I take a screen shot or pause the game I get the perfect picture, but while in play I get the blurring. NOTE in FS9 fps are immaterial. The default setting is 20 fps. There is no improvement by increasing this. In fact going down to 15 fps does not worsen the picture either	JJJJJ (528)
