The Official Graphics Card and PC gaming Thread

that is true, i got warhead and the performance is about the same...just that it not that laggy anymore...i think it's because they fixed some bugs

 

Alright thanks, I get it now

I'm still happy with the way it runs

Can't wait to play it

 

goodluck and have fun

oh btw i only realize that I DEFINITELY need a bigger monitor! yesterday when i was working i need to open up many files, and guess what they are all on top of eachother, i have to click on the bar to open it and sometimes i click the wrong folder/files...it is so irritating. 15" is way too small. But then again, i'm scared that my 8600GTS is not powerful enough to run it...well in gaming of course

 

I had my 30" for over a year before I ditched my X1900XT, which isn't much faster than an 8600GTS.

 

right, also i don't have to play game on full res after all

 

at 15" res you would be CPU not GPU limited and i bet a 4870X2 would work as good as a 4850 (bar crysis)

also for gTX280>4870, it depends on the game, most (90%) the GTX280 fins, grid it deffiately does not where it gets beaten by the 4850 same with call of juarez.

some games make the GTX280 have a HUGH win esp at 2560 where most of the time its 10% ahead of the 4870 and really doesnt comment the bigger price tag.

 

most games are Nvidia base...but now most games will get a boost from ATI

 

Everybody read my posts on page 34 and 35. That will give you a general idea of the changes made in Warhead. Don't expect to play any higher settings.

 

Done.

Oh and Rainbow six vegas 2 on PC SUUUCCKKKSS. I wish I could try out warhead. Some other time, soon hopefully.

 

um, Vegas 2 is not that bad, it's quite fun

Warhead is awesome!

 

It's a fun game, but man, is it buggy! about 20% of the time the Heavy Machine gun sound doesn't stop when someone stops firing it - so you have to hear the deafening roar of a machine gun until you finish the level. Couple with that if you use an HD4870X2 you get BIG artifacts that are very distracting.

Man, I want to play warhead! I may just bite the bullet and pay the extra fiver to get it on steam...

 

I'm waiting for the disk version to ship to the desert

 

I don't know. Vegas 2 just looks so BLAH. It's too damn plain.

 

Quite the opposite for me. I think the graphics are FAR improved from Vegas 1. The gameplay is much more fun and thrilling and the performance has improved by quite a bit. Where my 8800GTS got 35-40FPS at 1920 x 1200 on RS:V 1, it gets about 45-50 on RS:V 2 with 2xAA.

Buggy? Definitely. Sometimes I'll break through glass and have to listen to it breaking until I leave the area. Or I'll have the problem with the machine gun like Sam had.

It's certainly a good game though. I found it quite enjoyable. 7.8/10

Do it! It's at least worth a single play through

 

Well I have never played the first one. For some reason the snowy level in the start made me feel like I was playing Nightfire on the PS2. That's when I stopped playing it.

 

What a waste... the snow level lasts for like 10 minutes. I urge you to continue on. The graphics aren't amazing but it manages to look pretty nice all the way through... and Nightfire? Harsh dude...

 

I'm serious, they both look the same to me.

Well I dont have a gaming computer right now. But I will be replacing my Celedon 2.66ghz with a AMD Athlon XP 3200+!

 

That will be a welcome increase

And Nightfire was ugly even when it first came out. But RS:V 2 is miles ahead of anything the PS2 can even hope to do. You're missing out on a really good game. At least make the effort to see some more before you make your judgement. I mean, of course they would look similar... snow is snow...

 

Yeah, BUT I have no gaming computer!

Plus I have like 5 xbox 360 games that I would REALLY LOVE to finish. I have no time though to sit down for an hour and just play games. And I dont like 15 minutte games sessions lol. With all these awesome new games coming out, who has time for Vegas 2?

Plus I just got brothers in Arms, Hells highway. Cant wait to start that!

 

Noted. I plan to get it very soon. I loved the first 2 BiA games and Hells Highway looks promising

I never get sick of WWII games. Call me a nut
