I wonder when game developers (or stupid publishers) will change their focus from graphics back to gameplay.

Its pretty amazing, the PS 3.0 effects are causing controversy though. Look at the Beyond3D review it's really good. We have to wait for the R420 NDA to break before we can pick a winner though Wink

rudiger ur an idiot u noe that? nybody ever told you to go shoot urself? if not then go shoot urself

radeon may be good but GeForce is way way better both by pricing and performance. its like comparing p4 to a64

ahucaly it is alot like caomparting a p4 to an a64.

since the p4 could be any ware from like 2ghz to 3.2ghz and could have muity treadting and could be 64

while saying a64, u sepsifey a lot more sifick chip.

now wtich one is better? well that deponds on alot of things. AMD dose not have muity threading and alougth it may be 64 bits not many things use that to it's full advatage.

and there alot of difrent p4 chips. so i whould not say one is better then another overall. it dpeonds on what u need it for realy.

as for video cards the Nvidia GeForce 6800 is better then the ATI RADOEN 9800. but it is not realy far to compaer them becuse the 6800 is like nvida's super new card that is still in the end stages of delvopment while the 9800 is ATI's lastes card that has all ready been out for some time.

alougth i think the point that Raugrist made was intresting, i also think that game devopers are geting coungth up with making there games as grifaicly imperses as posable that they are missing out on the fact that poleop aucahly like there games to have some point and good desging to them.

staying up to date with all thes video cards is nuts any how, they got like a newer one out every other day. i say if it can play the games i whont it to go with out messing over my system it is a good card.

geforce is so made for gaming.... as for radeon it was intended for videos cuz of its all in one wonders crap... and btw dan a64 is not THAT much more expensive then p4 and is alot better... twice the layers of threading, twice the bus speed, and twice the bits per thread.

ah i never side am64 was more expensive or not and u are missing the hole point i am trying to make.

The ATI have a special line for their VIVO cards if you havent noticed, the AIW's. All the other cards are meant for gaming, except for the FireGL which is for workstations. The Geforce 6800 has really hit a mark on the market which is unexpected after the FX line flopped =/ The ATI R420 is said to be 3X faster then a Radeon 9700NP so thats something to look forward to. They say the NDA breaks in the beginning of May, cant wait

whoa.... all that nerdy talk is making my head swim...
yea... raugarist.... . i totaly agree with u...

like... not everyone is going to have the HOT shit graphis card.... they should be keeping a decent level for graphcis that is afordable and able for most systems to use.... not just the top of the line high priced comps....
.
gameplay is way more important...
hence why i like DOOM 2...cuz its fun and good gameplay..... not all this complicated buttons shit that u need the whole keyboard to shoot one fricking BULLET!


ok... i know doom 2 is really old.... DONT LAUGH!!... i have a shitty ass comp.. but i have played on goood comps with 3d... and games like wc3, battle roms, d2, delta force...

but yea...
if its cost is rite... works with lots of games... and doesn;t burn a whole in my MB ***HEAT AND POWER!!! then... sure.... lets rock and roll...
