Oh, and NS: ATI isn't that far behind Nvidia. Since the HD 2900XT's rather lackluster release, ATI has worked overtime on the drivers and it now beats the 8800GTS in most cases and even rivals the 8800GTX in others. Not too shabby. Now they just need...  [Read More]

It does seem a bit silly...especially since the 9800 series doesn't bring any additional support (maybe DX10.1, but that's not even sure), so releasing a 9 series with another low, mid and high-end range seems a bit OTT if you ask me, especially sinc...  [Read More]

That's what I'm planning Astro, but until I find a new job, this thing'll have to do, and until then I'll have way too much free time so I'll want to be able to play a couple of decent games at least on this old rig (Jade Empire and NWN2 for example)...  [Read More]
