You never said what resolution you intend to use. If your not gaming at 1920 or above resolutions i dont think you need to jump yet. It seems more and more PC games are 360 ports with no graphical advantage to the PC. I say wait...

I have the 4870x2 with vista 64 bit. I knew all the hastles of crappy driver support for single card dual gpu configurations but got one anyway as i wanted to build the fastest sff i could. TBH i wish i had just got a 280 and been happy with that. I just cant get games to run well on the card, and i ...

that is a good price, unfortunately in Australia it is not so good. I think the cheapest ATI 4870 is about 325 Aus and the nVidia 280 600 Aus. Too big a gap. Do buyit offer international shipping?

[quote]Where's this promised release day patch eh ?!

Paddy, you seem to be crashing in a lot of your screenshots. Not saying anything about your driving abilities ofc ... ! :lol:Ha-ha ... that was just messing ... deliberately creating mayhem ... honest ... :P
As for the release day patch ...

I am an nVidia fanboy usually but now i am builidng a new mid spec build i think i will go for the 4870 on a price/performance reason. I will also wait a few weeks though and see what the war does to cost. Can't see ATI cutting alot, but nVidia may well have to.
What are the Ati drivers like for ...

Depends what games. If a small screen was so bad for gaming the PSP wouldnt exist

I love the DD test rig setup. i so want that :) Wheres me credit card :)

pics look nice, but not as nice as advertised :(

Shame, even with an 8800GTX, the hit on frames is not worth the extra candy

Not very pretty is it. Think BF looks better than this

use the application FRAPS to watch framerates. A Paddy, if tyhe move is on the cards mate, looks like they 3 WS projector setup and SoftTH may be a reality soon!!! :)

not made use of the num pad as my keyboard doesnt have one! doesnt the patch remove this feature? definately needs night mod. too light otherwise

you will be fine mate. i will try to dig a copy out and reinstall it and try it out. gave up with it as i have no wheel/pedals

GTR2 is a very undemanding game so you could easily force vsynch on and still have no issues. assuming you meant 8000 gts or 8800 gtx. the very low model would struggle a bit more.

Not over impressed personally. It has not hooked me any more than HL2. So buggy, like having to wait for people to move out of doorways cos they are unmoveable, terrible ai which was supposedly its selling point. Graphically its okay, no idea why it never gets wet when it rains? Shadows not right ...

TDU is fine on one 8800, think Paddy had TDU running on 2x8800

can imagine its fine for desktop applications, but a bugger for gaming setups

Code: Select all

Defcon from steam?

YOu mean the global war game?

yep. really getting into that. on THTG i think it would be awesome!

Nice mod, first class

Nice shots from an unusual game... Anyone tried Defcon from steam? THAT would look awesome on THTG
