    DX10, 64bit games, more cores -- which is gonna help the most?

    You might be right, but there are some interesting new transistors and other optical technologies that could be viable but not necessarily measured in Ghz. But I agree, not holding my breath, but I'm optimistic there will be a solution within the next 5 years. For the immediate future I...

    DX10, 64bit games, more cores -- which is gonna help the most?

    OrooOroo, The Vista Home upgrade is only $72.99 at NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16832116153 Not that I'm suggesting you get it, but my WinXP upgrade from WinME cost me $99.99 and that was 5 years ago. So if you factor inflation, the upgrade price is actually not...

    DX10, 64bit games, more cores -- which is gonna help the most?

    I'm a programmer/developer also -- not a game developer (well not officially). I think you'll find that most developers are more than willing to work multi-threaded applications, but with that comes complexity and hence increased delivery time. Key being increased delivery time, this is where...

    DX10, 64bit games, more cores -- which is gonna help the most?

    DX10 does have some performance improvements: 1. Texture arrays - swapping that doesn't require CPU cycles (all in GPU) 2. Predicated Rendering 3. Instancing 2.0 Not seeing anything in DX10.1 that would help performance. I'd certainly like to seem more 64bit games -- with two...

    DX10, 64bit games, more cores -- which is gonna help the most?

    Agree on the 3, but I may put it 2 and then 1 last. From what info I can gather, higher resolution textures take up a huge chunk of memory, beyond the 2GB thread size limit of 32bit applications. I think to obtain the higher texture levels 64bit games will be a must. Rob.

    DX10, 64bit games, more cores -- which is gonna help the most?

    I've been reading many articles about how DX10 Games (current Betas) aren't living up to the hype -- slightly better visuals (as compared to DX9) but at a 50% frame rate hit. For example the Crysis beta looks great in DX10, but it looks great in DX9 also only in DX9 you don't get a massive...

    ATI 2600 and 2900 shader problems...

    I've contact ATI/AMD regarding a shadowing problem that has been noticed in several DX9 titles (specifically Titan Quest, but there are several others). Google search has revealed many others with 2600 and 2900 series cards having exactly the same problem. ATI/AMD assigned a ticket number and...

    Is the USA becoming more Christian?

    Define "right" and then please define "left" -- those terms vary over the decades -- actually those terms don't have much meaning at all -- I'd dare to say most people have a little of both. I think the US is becoming more Christian, just as Muslims are becoming more Fundamentalist Muslims...

    SD House Passes Abortion Ban

    themusgrat, -- Are you being serious? She owns it all -- lock stock and two smokin' barrels. Yes, many years ago I had a girlfriend that had an abortion. I didn't force it on her, SHE decided it was best for HER. And yes, she was accosted with a ridiculous amount of "are you sure" and...

    SD House Passes Abortion Ban

    themusgrat, So who created this nutrition tube? The rock I live on is planet earth. The rock I live under is "common sense". Where have you been living? Rob.

    Is the USA becoming more Christian?

    Is religion based on fear? I dated a black woman several year ago that was on a mission to convert me to a Christian -- she was in shock when I openly said "I don't believe in God" -- in fact her response was "aren't you affraid of going to hell". To which I responded that I don't believe in...

    Is the USA becoming more Christian?

    Hmmm...interesting...I had not thought about it from that angle. Good point, maybe the media and religious people are just bringing Christianity to the fore front because they don't want to be forgotten? But the Bible belt did win the vote -- strong enough to be the majority. I've noticed...

    SD House Passes Abortion Ban

    I guess I don't even understand why this is an issue?? Last I checked, my body belongs to me -- or can someone legally suggest that it doesn't? What has my body got to do with someone's moral issues?

    Is the USA becoming more Christian?

    First off, I'm not religious -- well at least I don't believe in a God or Gods. I was just curious if others have noticed an increase in the open display of religion, religious symbols, and/or religious beliefs both in public and via the various media channels? If so, what do you think...

    1st Post Heres my SLI 7800GTX 512 meg cards benchies and Overclocks

    I didn't publish the score as I was not using "certified" drivers at the time I ran 3DMark05. 3DMark05 isn't what I consider a real world test, frame rates from the various current crop of games is more significant when comparing FX57 to X2. Don't get me wrong 3DMark05 is good to test relative...
