jaguars4ever Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 On my Gf7900GTX it looks better than... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Crazy Swede - how much did you shell out for that thing? Just wait for the 8-series already. Ironically, that will probably cost you more. But trust me - there's a method to my madness.
Cantousent Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Aw, jags, you know some of us don't have any patience. Dammit. Anyhow, we're the ones who will buy the 8 series upon release anyhow. Well. Probably not. I'll wait for a while after release, but I'm sure I'll get it fairly soon after they get it out for general consumption. That probably won't be before the middle of next year anyhow, will it?

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Crazy Swede - how much did you shell out for that thing?

metadigital Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 they would need two things:a PhysX PPU or similar, a patch to second out the explosions to the PPU. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When two cards just aren't enough anymore... www.vr-zone.com <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One problem with that setup: physics calculations require a different hardware architecture. Whereas Video is just huge parallel processing of pixels (bump mapping then multiple shadow creations, a bit like netburst), which are all read-only; the physics calculations requires that the original data be updated as a consequence of calculations, so they are read-and-write (because the thousands of objects will have their momentum impacted by the momentum of all the other objects). So it is much better to have a PPU as well as a dual-card set-up. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Setzer Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Just stopped playing.... Wizardry 8 - Things were going pretty smoothly up until the battles started to get way too long. I even had the mod that supposedly increased the enemy movement speed. God, I can only imagine playing this game w/o that mod....yikes! Not only were the battles boring but trying to keep my party from passing out from exhaustion was a challenge in itself. Unsure if I'll load this one up again. Currently playing.... Neverwinter Nights - Don't know why.....just got this urge to play a Wizard in a DnD game. Lots of better choices out there to do that but I haven't finished NWN yet.
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Neverwinter Nights - Online Persistant World DooM 3 & RTCW Enemy Territory - I'm stuck with these three until I get a job and get some other Linux compatable games. I'm also playing an Open Source MMORPG called Daimonin. You'll not be impressed by the graphics. Edited June 26, 2006 by AngryKidJoe Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
Musopticon? Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I guess I am modding RTW, oh how far I've fallen. :D Then there's Halo 2(getting IWHBYD), some Total Realism and Barbarian Invasion, plus some Thief 2 fanmissions. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Lare Kikkeli Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Daimonin. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> is that using DnD rules?
Llyranor Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I'm updating my 3-yr old NWN mod. Didn't realize people were still actually playing it, so might as well remove some gamestopping bug in it. In hindsight, I should have simply named it 'The Annal'. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=modules.Detail&id=234 Hehe, it's a nice blast in the past, complete with pretty archaic storytelling from back in the day Support would be nice, too!
