*NEW UPDATED 2* Post Your Cinebench R11.5 Score

For the last 6 years I've tried to justify and upgrade to newer technology but my Core i7 990 Extreme still provides what I need. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6Hx6kqbQwAGVGZ6UTVjU2Q4aGs

Diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency.

Endos don't believe in idiopathic AGHD. There is a stigma attached to the medication because of the off label use by anti-aging clinics. What's working against you is that you only have one deficient hormone, growth hormone. If your IGF-1 is below 84 and you fail (Two) 2 stim tests, only...

My New AMD rig

Like some of us, I run 2 systems, one AMD, and one INTEL. Before I get into the specs of each system, I have a question. Vista64 has a "Performance Information and Tools" for general purpose benchmark of your system. Does this tool use a different algorithym for AMD than for Intel? If I...

Help please, A8N32 system just crashed.

It seems like there are some corrupt bioses out there. Turn off ACPI and hit F5 before the F6 and go to standard PC. The bios is not ACPI compliant errors are showing up. I flashed my bios to 805, and then back to 703 and I still have problems with the ACPI function. This may just be...

Is 2 GB RAM really worth it?

I know it makes a difference when you've got a lot going on. What I noticed is things just continued to be smooth with no hitching or slowdowns. I picked up an old Precision 530 with 2 GB Ram and 1 Xeon 2.8GHZ 512L2 cache hyperthreading and I picked up another processor from Ebay...

x850s and agp?

I picked up an ATI X850XT AGP from BestBuy for $400.00 with $50.00 rebate. I thought maybe it was a price error so I snagged it and sure enough it went up to $450.00 with $50.00 rebate. I went from an X800pro to the X850XT thinking that the visual effects would be slightly better, but I was...

Video Card Doubts...

I just picked up a ATI X850XT at Best Buy for $350.00 at bestbuy $400.00 with $50.00 rebate and a 20% off digital coupon whatever that is. I bought it because I thought it was a pricing error, considering what I paid for my 6800GT BFG.

Your choice of topic titles has much to be desired. Its nothing but flaimbait. Specific code paths for different cards was something that Carmack has said he wanted to avoid. Optimizations of this nature can probably be done for ATI and Nvidia, but then you'll end up with different code...

Xentropy I could have worded it better, but "deliberate sabatage" is very strong. I am impling an oversight on the attention given (or lack thereof) to ATI performance. I implied only what Humus implied, that he can't believe how someone as smart as Carmak could miss this. It looks as if...

Doom III = Teh Suck!

I think it is a disappointment compared to FarCry. As far as the Graphics are concerned, with the exception of shadows and Pix Shad I thought I was playing the Original Unreal on a Voodoo 5, using Glide. Painkiller's graphics are better. Doom and Carmack are so Quake/Voodoo. The hand...

Is $440 for Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition a good deal?

What we found out this past week was that under heavy stress and overclocking scenarios, the 6800s would eventually fail every single time, unless the GeForce 6800 was sufficiently powered. Now a lot has been said about minimum power supplies needed for these 6800s and while these cards are even...

The 6800 is overpriced junk!

Whatever gives me the most bang for the buck. Tweak, software overclock, hardware overclock, bios overclock, PEG, PAT, Turbo Mode, enhancements, etc.... When Intel locks a chip that will run from 2GHZ, to 3.5GHZ so they can sell you the same chip at incremental prices is cheating. Three...

Doom 3 Benchmarks at [H]

I'm not sure this is correct but I'm sure you guys will let me know. DOOM3 is based on OPENGL which NVIDIA has completely ruled over ATI or any other card. The next game that comes out that uses the D3D API will have ATI Cards spanking NVIDIA and vice versa. I chose the NVIDIA BFG 6800GT...

Intel Celeron D. Nice Improvements Still Dumb Name

- That is a good deal if you look at the prices. I just paid $89.00 for the CelDeron. If it overclocks to 3.8 and performs like a 2.8ghz Northwood, then I just save $100.00 from the retail price of a 2.8ghz p4.

9700 pro for 100$ a good deal?

6800 Ultra vs GT Opinions

Where did you buy those cards? Everywhere I look, the retailer will only exchange for the same card and or a $75.00 (15%) restocking fee plus postage. You are better off selling to one of the guys on the forum.

Different Far Cry for nV40 owners?

Conclusions "Conclusions The new Far Cry patch does indeed seem to be a decent showcase for Shader Model 3.0's potential. The GeForce 6800 cards gain up to about 10% in average frame rates when using the SM3.0 code path. No, the differences aren't going to convert the masses into NVIDIA...

Until a 64bit operating system comes out, you will be playing FarCry in 32bit mode. Any game you play on the A64 will definately take advantage of the Memory Controller but not the 64bit code. Has anyone tried to play FarCry in the experimental Open GL mode? I bet that would look great on an...
