So I heard that Kaiser Sigma got a new PC.

ChrisRay · November 7th, 2004

Athlon 64,
1 gig of memory.
200 gig hard drive.
ATI Radeon X800 Pro.

Since he's too shy to post it I thought I'd congradulate him instead. After owning a TNT2 up until this point I bet he's literally wet himself with the new graphics. I'll make sure he sees this thread so we can all congradulate him!

Obviously you dont understand the importance of e-pen0s measuring. This is an activity me and Demigod engage in nightly.

I know.. how can you have a machine like that JUST for games? Your e-pen0s is probably about.. alot bigger now!

Well actually the forums .. I visit and generally tend to hang out in make my e-pen0s feel pretty small. Not that unsatisfied. I am in a unique position I can usually get what I want :| So long as I'm not too demanding anyway.

Say Cool. Werent you gonna get a FX 5900 or a 9800 Pro?

**cooliscool** · November 7th, 2004

I suppose the 550MHz core speed helps?

edit: uh.. nope. Never planned on it.. musta dreamt it.

I never planned on getting this but I had the money in hand so I went ahead.

Not a bit dissatisfied. I will take that 5900 of your second rig's hands though, if you want.

Ya.. 2,200 fillrate. Not bad at all. Thats got a put a nice pummel into any 9500 Pro card. I am hoping and expecting to see a 6600GT soon to test out. That'll be fun.

I always wanted a 9600XT, Looks like a fun card. Specially for overclocking.

R300 cores are somethen else. I bet you can get some pretty decent anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering out of those guys too. Though I never played Far Cry on a 9600XT, they are much better at shaders than the 5900 line.

Are not. Once I explain to you how to properly measure you'll be in our world.

**cooliscool** · November 7th, 2004

Chris: I noticed that.. I can run Far Cry at 6xAA/8X Aniso with High preset and it runs f00king great.. that's the biggest thing I've noticed about this card, I'm able to run at insane AA levels maintaining good speed.

edit: ahh whoops, just read your sig and noticed the 5900 is gone.. what happened to it?

At what resolution? Thats pretty impressive. Not choppy at all?

You should check out the new far cry patch and enable Geometry Instancing. It may require a DCC hack but instancing made a large difference on my 6800 and 9800 Pro

Just decided after using a 9800 Pro for a while and a 6800 card that the 5900 line really wasnt all that spectacular. It fullfilled my needs for what I needed. But the 9800 was over all a better piece of hardware. I just wish ATI would get off their limp arse and support Super Sampling and Saturation controls.

P.S. Oh these forums are nice. I can be totally "un official here" cuz no one who watches me reads them ^^

**cooliscool** · November 7th, 2004

1024x768. Nope, not a bit choppy. Yup, I was really suprised myself.

I've installed 1.3. What's Geometry Instancing? Does simply installing the patch have it enabled?

Yeah I totally agree about SS and Sat. controls.. my two biggest gripes about having an ATi card. Coincedence?
