Not really got a lot to say apart from 'I agree with this post'. I did think the 9800 GTX+'s name was silly though, the difference between it and the 9800 GTX was far greater than the that of the 9800 GTX and the 8800 GTS.

You amuse me. You're quite willing to take meaningless jabs at ATi ("the way it's not meant to be played"
), but when somebody posts a news story against Nvidia suddenly it's 'atibots screaming around like little girls'. 
I don't think this is a case of nvidia hate as some are calling it, more a concern that if nvidia do not evolve their products better very soon there might be less competition in the gfx card market which isn't any good for any of us. I am not sure nvidia as big as they are can withstand another fiasco like the g2xx series yes they are good cards and good performers but lets not pretend nvidia are not losing money with them because they are, having to lower the price to maintain market place. I want in an ideal world for there to be a strong nvidia a strong ati and intel as well because that way me and everyone else gets the most for their money. Seriously fanboys on either side completely miss the point and if they got their way we would all be worse off for it.
They really need to introduce a vote-to-ban button on these forums for Duran's posts.
If I wanted to see **** I'd take some laxitives.
This has nothing to do with ATi versus nVidia.

Well if there was a time for nVidia bashing this woud be it...
They backed themselves into a corner trying to produce the next "8800GTX" style monster and its looking more like the voodoo 6.
I'm still hoping they manage to get it together tho - in theory the GT300 could seriously move things forward with massive amounts of rendering and GPGPU performance - giving access to next generation physics, AI, etc.
Also to those people thinking the focus on GPGPU is a bad thing and they should concentrate on tesselation, etc. instead might want to look up whats happening with idtech6 - its looking like the future of graphics could well include a lot of raytracing style functionality both for lighting models and world visibility/geometry (sparse octree).

They don't konw yet there still renaming it.
I lol'd
To be fair nvidia have produced a less than satifactory result but its early days. As for the global foundries move I think its a good one. If it cuts cost of nvidia cards and then they compete on price-performance in games rather than extra features then Ill be happy. Yes I own a 4870 (piece of junk died on me and its only 5months old) but I'm no fan boi. I would have went (and wanted to go) for a 260 but it was outta my price range at the time. /shrug

That was using 8xAA too. Well either it was on, or they've done something in software to deal with jagged edges.
I caught a few jaggies, but only if I looked for them, there's no settings to change to enable AA though, the graphics config for the game is really poor. Just res options and 'low, medium. high' for graphical quality.
I haven't had a look for any .ini files though, I've been too busy enjoying the game.
EDIT: Whoops, I'm stupid. I completely overlooked the fact that the configs has a 'custom' option.

Agreed, I tend to keep an eye on these threads, but only so I know which users to add to my ignore list, some of the stuff some users come out with is just ridicules and the personal attacks are a joke, they shouldn’t be getting away with it.
You are aware that this sums duran right up aren't you?
This has nothing to do with ATi versus nVIdia, yet the people who point the finger claiming 'fanboy' are the ones are are making it an ATi versus nVida thing.
Duran, as much as he likes to point the finger at people being fanboys, goes in to threads ranting at how terrible ATi products are.
Especially now at the moment when ATi offer better value for money.
No, it's not people telling the truth, they're 'hating' on nVidia.
To these people, the truth is only the truth when it pleases them.
This forum has indeed seen a huge change.
Lucky im still in contact with a few that have left through other means.
Some of them have opened their own forums.
The thing is i thought nvidia said just after the g80 gtx launch big chips were coming to the end and will have to go down the same route as ati did for their 4*** series, smaller chips that can scale well and maybe using muti gpu instead of 1 big chip.
Trouble is how useful is GPGPU for games? and like ati tesselation on the olders cards by the time raytracing fuctionality (might see it in xbox720 and then MS might push it)comes about there will be better cards out there and more likely dx12/13 by then.
+1
I like both ati and nvidia products. Usually if not always, the ones that claim its a hate thread in their own particular and normally agressive style, are the ones that can't handle others having put forward a constructive and polite argument.

GPGPU is very useful if developers do start using hardware physics, porting AI code to the GPU, etc.
I expect that to happen much sooner than developers start using the more advanced DX11 features.
As for their use in raytracing type functionality its hard to say, if id push out tech6 faster then it could be as early as 2 years - I don't think it will be long after tech 5 as work is ongoing on both.
I havent seem all his posts or yours, but from what I have seen, no.
I'm starting to see why they left.

not sure if that was in response to what I said...
But what I'm talking about isn't the traditional raytracing/lighting - but raytracing/casting into sparse voxel octree using shaders for processing - something that is inherently massively parallel and can get a huge performance boost from SPs rather than the traditional CPU.
