Takes time to learn the classes and what to do in them, Currently i like the Pyro and Spy classes the most lol. The spys are right annoying to the engineeers I have to say with their sapper charges.

Poor old Alzir when he was a spy got burned alot by me as a pyro on sunday 😛 good games though and with beer.

Hate them Spys, so glad they put the “a spy is sapping my sentry” shout in, imagine how annoying it could have been. It does give you just enough time to stop the Sappers with your wrench then give the spy a slap with it afterwards.

Legit was called a cock for sooooooooo much more so nothings changed really.

Legits a cock

I hate Toms hardware, there’s been too many red faced incidents over the years for my likeing and there are plenty of other hardware sites that I can ‘Cherry Pick’ results from.

so speaking of skewed results here’s Tom’s Hardware review for the so called big DX10 shootout. It’s a shame that they chose to use the slightly buggy 7.9 driver set (7.8’s were better) for the ATI (fair enough because that what was available at the time of the review) however, have they updated the review (near on a month later) for the 7.10 which addresses the issues raised? No have they fook. It’s still on page 1 of Toms Hardware being displayed as the definitive DX10 GFX card review.

Review here… http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/09/directx_10_shootout/

Guess what ATi’s don’t come out too well in it (surprise, surprise) but all the issues it raises seem to have been addressed. What pisses me off is what they also fail to mention is that Nvidia has exclusive deals with many game developers meaning they get the heads up on games and can develop drivers and bug fixes well in advance of what ATi can do (hence why ATi revise their drivers more frequently). So to slate ATi for taking ages to taylor the drivers for games that came out after the 7.9 drivers did so they didn’t even get a look at these games until they were officially released is BS. So in that sense ATi are always going to playing catch up so let them catch up you fux and maybe use a less biased playing field.

here are the release notes for the 7.10 catalyst suite.

The following performance improvements are noticed with Catalystâ„¢ 7.10:

Battlefield 2142: CrossFireâ„¢ performance improves 5-23% on ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2600, HD2400 and ATI Radeonâ„¢ X1300/X1550

Call of Juarez DX10: CrossFireâ„¢ performance improves up to 42% and single card performance improves up to 34% on all ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2x00 series of products
Company of Heroes DX10 CrossFireâ„¢ performance improves up to 80% on all ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2x00 series of products and single card performance improves as much as 31% on ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2900 and ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2600 products

World In Conflict DX10 CrossFireâ„¢ performance improves 14-67% or more and single card performance improves 20% or more on ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2900XT and ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2600 products
World in Conflict DX9 CrossFireâ„¢ performance improves up to 70% or more on all ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD2x00 products

granted a lot of the enhancements seem to be around crossfire configs but that still has to mean an increase on a single card. Anyway now you’re all thinking STFU JuDgE you ATI fanboy….so I will 🙂

No one is arguing that the 8800 GTX and Ultra are the daddies, they are no question. However, are they value for money?

I say not, not until the new Nvidias come out and there’s a massive price drop then they really will be the hot ticket.
