RoguePhotonic Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Originally posted by DiRtY $oUtH™ Damn man...that is one huge monitor! What kind of refresh rates do you get on your max. resolution? (BTW what is your max res. as well?) Oh yea...how much did it cost you? Or is your comp a package deal? I think the max res is 1600x1200 at 75herts I run everything at 1280x1024 at 85herts It cost 155 bucks but since I got it online I had to pay for shipping and it came out to 244 bucks...which is still a great deal...these things can cost 900 dollars. The thing with Nvidia is you will love them and all but once you really learn about ATI and use them you will never want geforce again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khier Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 OMG You guys aren't gonna believe teh uber l337 system I've got!!! Feast your unworthy, dishonourable orbs on this /sarcasm Pentium 2 350 mhz 10 gb HD 200-something SD RAM 16 mb graphics card 32x10x40x burner The only thing I'm proud of with this set up is a hi speed cable connection. /me wallows in a pool of shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 From whatI have read and seen Intels will O/C much better then an AMD as the AMD run way to hot even at stock speeds. And if you want proof just go check out all the top scores at Madonion.com and you will see at the top boxes run Intel chips. No BS, just facts. Like i said,, My 1.8A will do 2.7 That is a 900mhz jump. It will do it at stock voltage and the temp does not rise at all. Show me an AMD that will do that? Don't get me wrong , AMD are nice but Intel will always have the upper hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Originally posted by Datheus They were both fudging their scores. nVidia was just doing it more so than ATi. But once it's all said and done, the cards are actually about equal. It just depends on what game you play. If you play games that are made for nVidia cards, get the GF FX. If you play games made for ATi, then get the Radeon. That's basically how it works. Oh... Which Games are for what cards? Like if I'm going to be playing JA what card should I get? And what about Half Life 2 and Quake 3, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoguePhotonic Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 What I like about ATI cards is they are really stable and ATI supports them very well... I also like that the newer ones have smooth vision...so even with antialiasing off you don't have half the problem with aliasing with ATI as you do with geforce.

DiRtY $oUtH™ Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 The stability on Ati versus nVidia varies. Some games are better played with Ati and some nVidia....thats the naked truth..PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Warrior Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 lets just say this... when i had a GF4 Ti4400 i would often get teh BSOD with the nv4disp.dll error. Nowadays since defecting to Ati, i've yet to see a BSOD... hehe go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I want to get a good gaming PC, aka, one that will run at least JKII and JKA, but is there a laptop that could get the job done that's not too pricy? PS- IS an S3 Graphics ProsavageDDR card good? That's what I have on my comp, and it runs JKII perfectly. I just want to know if it's a decent card.

I would be extremely surprised if a laptop had anywhere near enough graphics power to play either JK2/JKA... onboard graphics always suck terribly, and the lcd monitor wont help gameplay either.

GUNNER Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 S3 are usually pretty crap video cards and like was said, on board video ( what laptops have) is usually not that good. Now that being said.. Alienware makes a laptop jus tfor gaming and I heard it kicks ass. But I think it cost more then 2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happily play JO, MOH:AA + Spearhead, SoF2, UT2k3 and other games, including Unreal 2 without a problem/lag. In MOH I normally get around 90 fps on multiplayer.

PS- IS an S3 Graphics ProsavageDDR card good? That's what I have on my comp, and it runs JKII perfectly. I just want to know if it's a decent card. ProsavageDDR sucks big time. That was what my pc came pre-installed with. Sure it runs jkii, just fine, but look forward to a long time of having to make tech support calls, and downloading patches to run this and that. And do not ever consider upgrading your OS, because the ProSavage will not support it. I was all set to upgrade my graphics card to a GeForce FX 5200 , but I found out that my power pack would not support it. I could replace the power pack, but the card was expensive as it is. I would have to say that I am doing pretty good with the ATI Radeon 9800. If I ever change it again, I'll just upgrade the power pack and get a GeForce FX 5200 , but hey, if it ain't broke... why fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
