Gibbo is getting an R600!!

What do you find boring about R600 exactly?

Not criticising, just genuinely wondering why. I mean I found it very boring until I found out about the on-board HDMI sound, the 24x antialiasing etc. Seems kind of nifty to me now. :)

Ahh it's not that, its just kinda frustrating that they wont let Gibbo give out anymore infomation.

I love ATI cards my last 3 cards have all been ATI. :)

indeed so unless your a millionaire, which most of us arent, you cant keep up anymore.

You can, for example: Buy a £300 card, let depreciation take its course over the next few months, then sell it for the next best thing.

It's all about timing and having a keen eye on the market and the value of items.

LOL. I'll just say I had a quite similar experience, but I won't get into it because it's off-topic and I'm not interested in another fight. So moving on, let's get back on topic and forget about it. ;) All smiles and rainbows. :)

Just ignore easy, past experience of him on msn found him to be arrogant.

i asked him for help, he said yes if i follow "his rules" such as never disagreeing with him, licking his ass on the forums, and voting for him to become a mod. and then he had no clue about my problem after all that. pfft.

Ive repeatedly been crashed to my desktop and told "lack of virtual memory" when playing Desert combat -bf2 mod, with my pagefile turned off, on 2gb of supposedly good ram, on xp sp2, therefore common sense tells me 1gb isnt enough.

as for the r600, im not sure i wish to buy it as in 3 months time it will be "old and slow"

You turn your page file off?

why not move it to another disk?
 
There are a couple dozen really smart and informative posts in this thread. Unfortunately, they're completely drowned out by the
1. "Oh boy, can't wait for the R600 info, waiting so long for Gibbo to post sucks" posts
2. "I hope the R600 sucks" posts
3. "The R600 is definitely gonna suck" posts, and, especially in the last few pages, a plethora of
4. "You suck" posts.
The end result is that now this thread officially sucks. Can a mod please clean it up? If you don't have the patience to clean it up (and I wouldn't blame you) then please just close it as it's degenerated into drivel. I was looking for a post or two to RTM there but I would end up RTMing half the thread!

them benchmarks are wrong anyway because for a start the R600 maximum AA is x24 so they would have used that to bench it aswell.....

I'm not commenting on the veracity. But they may well have benched within a lower range as the GTX can't do 24AA, just to keep it fair.

dont beleive anything till the damn cards releised

As the GTX can't do 24xAA, there is no point in doing a GTX comparison as it simply isn't comparable with that type of AA. The guy did also say, "use the appropriate amount of salt."

Oh and "i" before "e," except after "c." :D

- Except when you spell released, releised. ;)

Hi there

Those results don't look quite right!

In my testing on my system our GTX scored 11,950 under Windows XP and under Windows Vista it scored 11,504. That was the results of the BFG 8800 GTX OC in our Intel QX6700 @ 3GHz (1333FSB) with memory at 1150Mhz at 4-4-4-12. So in comparison that guys results look rather low considering he was using an QX6800 processor. Obviously I cannot tell you what the ATI card scored yet until AMD give me the go ahead.

Posting about how much the thread sucks is just as counter-productive. :) RTM? :p

Hi there

I used 32-Bit version, but the R600 does already have 64-bit drivers now anyway, so will be no driver issues at launch as all version of XP and Vista are already supported and working. :)
