[quote][quote]Now, anyone care to talk about Dragon Age again?
(HINT)
Give me about a week...I'm holding off installing until the new vid card arrives. This is not easy, I have a copy or Dragon Age sitting on my desk.... :wink:
::uses slight of hand to steal Gecko's DAO DVD out of the box and replaces it with a burned copy of Hello Kitty Online::
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, Christmas came early for me yesterday...look what the elves dropped off... :D
Nice packaging. Am I the only one who finds Asus' new slogan a tad disturbing?
The beast! This is the most elegantly packaged piece of computer hardware I have ever purchased. Looks more like the kind of packaging you'd expect from buying some premium 30 year old scotch.
This thing is massive. Here's my old X1800XT in comparison. I'm using an Antec P183 case and I had to flip my main HDD upside down in the drive bay in order for the card to fit. Even so, it did so just barely.
Loaded the drivers and fired it up, it looks great. I think there's work to be done on the drivers yet, as Risen looked hilarious. The textures on the buildings move as you look around, weird.
I loaded Dragon Age last night and it looks fantastic! Maxed everything and it's smooth as silk. Just started the game and so far so good...this game looks promising. Still getting used to the relatively fixed camera angles (coming from Risen).
Now I'm off to play Hello Kitty again...
