well, i think that i can certainly get away with 1600x1200 on my compy with most settings at High and several others at Very High (Textures, Shaders, and Shadows). the game itself runs around 25-40 FPS on my system, but the benchmarks run pretty slow...  [Read More]

BFME 2 was pretty good, although not the most unique game i've played. Empire at War was very nice with a couple of flaws. if you're looking for epic scale and a bit of a different take on RTS, try Rome: Total War or Medieval II: Total War. in those...  [Read More]

^^^^ the thing is that you don't have to upgrade right now. remember, Crysis doesn't actually launch for about another 3 weeks yet. IMHO, its pointless to go out and spend $300+ on a video card right at this moment especially since the only game he's...  [Read More]

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.01GHz / Asus A8N-SLI Premium mobo / 2.5 GB RAM (2 1GB Corsair Sticks and 2 old 256MB sticks I had laying around) / Radeon X1900 XT (512MB)well, one thing that would help is to take out those old 256MB sticks. your RAM is only...  [Read More]

well, i mentioned both cards because they're both right in about the same price range. the difference is that if you have a 2900 Pro, you can overclock it or flash the BIOS, and then you have a 2900 XT. both cards are literally the exact same, but th...  [Read More]

the Radeon 2900 series is leaps and bounds better than the GeForce 8600 series. about the only equivalent is the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB card which is also much better than the 8600 series. the main reason is what the cards are designed for: the 8600...  [Read More]

sweet demo. seriously, there isn't this much content in some games, so that was a nice touch. performance wise, i was able to run the game at a steady 25-50FPS (measured with Fraps) with most settings at High, and several settings at very high. grant...  [Read More]

Hmmm, good point there Astro. So I take it Linux users who are also gamers are forced to have WinXP/Vista installed for the DX compatability? Which is fair enough, I wouldn't mind dual-booting it's just the partitioning and stuff I'm a bit scared of...  [Read More]

Portal is just awesome, but don't try to pass it off as non-violent. those turrets can kill, and don't forget that getting hit by a turret splashes your blood all over the floor or wall that's placed behind you. even then, the game is just awesome....  [Read More]

well, Nvidia is about to lose a lot of wind out of their sales with the 8800 GT. the "new" Radeon 3800 series launch is soon upon us (November 19), and the prices will range from $150 -$179 for the 3850 and $200 - $230 for the 3870 series....  [Read More]
