😀 waiting out the r600 – just to have a comparison for dx10 card. After that its decision time 😕
March 13, 2007 at 10:59 pm #48470AnonymousParticipantDX10 Card and no DX10 games = why bother.
By the time you can buy a DX10 game, you could have bought a better DX10 card for the same money =/
Remember when ATI did those shader-heavy cards for Half Life 2 in 2004? Half Life 2 was delayed by a year and 2 generations of cards passed. By the time HL2 came out the cards marketed to play the damned thing were no longer the king of the castle.
There are 2 or 3 games on the market already which have DX10 upgrade patches planned, but even then there is no solid release date for the upgrade patches nor the games born into DX10… heck the lineup doesn’t even look that impressive so you may find you buy a DX10 card right now only to find you have no interest in any of the first generation DX10 games….
The least you could do is wait for the next generation of cards around Q3 this year- a decent DX9 card will set you back £50 on eBay (7800GT – mine cost £250 new =/) and will tide you over untill you replace it for something better when there actually is something to use it for!!!

Im waitin for it too….. not gonna buy one but hope it will drive the price of a GTX down so when i use EVGA’s step up prog in a few months i can afford one! 😉 🙂
Tried BF2142 for the first time last night on my new PC (it seems to be the only thing i can get to work properly so far!) had everything maxed out and it ran brilliantly and looks great! 🙂 🙂 and thats with a mere 8800 gts 320 mb! So your rig is gonna fly fly fly!!!!

March 14, 2007 at 12:27 am #48474XDC_WolfParticipantI live in Keele, drove through Stone th other day, never been to Stafford though. God Stoke is depressing. There is nothing to do here, everything closes down at about 9 p.m. and I would come online and play games, but I can’t!
March 14, 2007 at 12:29 am #48475TurksMeisterParticipantI was in stoke the weekend we were burgled… great water slide park there.
Apparently the student houses are only £60k too – not too shabby… well actually they were fucking shabby… the front door leads in to one of the bedrooms… wtf?!
March 14, 2007 at 8:12 am #48476XDCiNSANEParticipantGood choice fluffmate.. Order Crisis with your rig and all’s good in the land of new PC’s!
BASTARD!! hehe
March 15, 2007 at 8:56 am #48477XDCNeonSamuraiParticipantAnd order this at the same time Fluffy:
Every PC needs one, along with a beverage holder and lighter.
March 15, 2007 at 7:28 pm #48478XDCFluffyBunnyParticipantlol Neon loving the idea of a cup holder as my car doesn’t have one so i’m feeling left out.
If you can use the launcher ‘in game’ it would add a certain level of realism to the overall gaming experience. Mind you if it was Max who shot me it would have to work on a remote sensor and shoot me around the corner before i walk into the room 😀
