Recently, I have been hearing alot about 5.1 surround sound headphones. Seeing as how doom 3 sounds best on 5.1, these 'phones are starting to look interesting. However, I use teamspeak and ventrilo alot for games...so i need a microphone. Wireless is a plus too, but not essential -- can...

basically, when coding, less is more. if you get the program to do something with 3 words, it is so much faster than if you use 3 paragraphs. efficiency is key - the less extra bullshit, the faster it will run

I have a 9800xt and a 2.26ghz p4 on a dell mobo thats not oc-able What kinda cpu/mobo would give teh card a bit more headroom? I dont plan to buy a Fx-53 or anything, just something that will help out my card a bit.

hmm, do all of the buttons work in games?

I'm in need of a good wireless gaming mouse, and from what i've seen, the MX700 is the way to go. However, I dont want to purchase a mx700 if there is a mx710 coming out soon, which may be much much better. Does anyone know if there will be a MX710 soon, or does the Bluetooth MX900 fill that...

Lol, this is funny... when the card was launched and farcry iq sucked on the 6800, it was 'bad drivers' when the 61.11 drivers were rushed out to take some wind out of ati's sails, and they had MORE BUGS than the previous version, it was 'bad drivers' when we found out that nvidia was...

being a long time pc game player, i can tell when the fps is below 30...it gets REAL choppy. I would assume that jakup felt the same thing.

i wouldnt consider 'it felt like it ran at 25fps' to be good performance :? also, later on, he said that it was probably 2x aa :shock:

stop the thread derailment plz guys... ----------------- otherwise, i just like to buy cards that last, i dont buy them often, and i like to make a decision based on what future games that I INTEND TO PUCHASE will run like on the card i'm mainly a FPS-RTS guy, anything with lots of...

aye, havent known him to bs - just read his post history

apparently its the 'boat' level -- i have a 9800 xt sooo i could do a good comparison if i could find the exact same spots but i really care more about the performance - anyone have a benchy of the nv40 on farcry at 1280x1024 1xaf 4xaa?

Apparently, someone at nvnews played Far Cry on a nv40/ps3.0, and it didnt perform well -- heres a linky -- i'm not saying i believe him. In any case, it is an interesting read, and according to him we'll have a video of him playing it pretty soon...

Looks like we might not have to wait too long after all: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/doom3/news_6097046.html the article: Summer release for Doom 3 Activision and id Software announce that the PC version of Doom 3 will ship to stores this summer. Activision and id...

of course the ati x800xt image looks better... its running 2xaa higher... :roll: however...the x800pro is running the same settings as the 6800u, and it looks better, at least to my eyes

Re: sm3.0 sm3.0 for far cry and dx9.0c arent out yet, so why would it? no one can tell how something performs until it's out, unless you want to take the dev's word for it -- and of course they're gunna say that it's the best thing since sliced bread... :roll:
