Singh Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm dreading the day they update the Spy class. Gonna be fkin annoying. THAT NASH IS A BLOODY SPY! *whacks Nash on the head with a wrench* Spies are no match for my wrench or my sentry. The get drawn to my sentry like flies, only be smacked aside like the useless inconveniences they are by the Engineer's many tools of destruction. The wrench is a really awesome melee tool. Recently I made a montage of just how darn effective it is from my experiences playing online. You can find that here: In other news, wanted to ask: anyone here play EVE-Online? Empyrean age has come around and Factional Warfare is now active. I'm looking for a few folks to fly around with, since all my other friends have gone Amarr and I'm stuck alone with a Minmatar character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My weight is 102 kgs Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Just downloaded SPORE Creature Creator (Leaked) .......................loved it .....i belive SPORE will redifine strategy games and I loved it as I like the genre.It lets you play GOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizoidFreud Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Can someone help me out? I downloaded cold fear for my pc...it works fine but everytime I start the game, my monitor shows an 'out of range' pop-up. I know its because of the resolution...I cannot change the game's resolution before starting it. I tried changing my monitors resolution from the display options in the control panel but it didnt work. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 NVIDIA's 1.4 Billion Transistor GPU: GT200 Arrives as the GeForce GTX 280 & 260 The chip is codenamed GT200 and it's the successor to NVIDIA's G80 and G92 families. Why the change in naming? The GT stands for "Graphics Tesla" and this is the second generation Graphics Tesla architecture, the first being the G80 Let's put aside all the important considerations for a moment and bask in the glow of sheer geekdom. Intel's Montecito processor (their dual core Itanium 2) weighs in at over 1.7 billion transistors, but the vast majority of this is L3 cache (over 1.5 billion transistors for 24MB of on die memory). In contrast, the vast majority of the transistors on NVIDIA's GT200 chip are used for compute power. Whether or not NVIDIA has used these transistors well is certainly the most important consideration for consumers, but there's no reason we can't take a second to be in awe of the sheer magnitude of the hardware. This chip is packed full of logic and it is huge. If the number of transistors wasn't enough to turn this thing into a dinner plate sized bit of hardware, the fact that it's fabbed on a 65nm process definitely puts it over the top. Current CPUs are at 45nm and NVIDIA's major competitor in the GPU market, AMD, has been building 55nm graphics chips for over 7 months now. With so many transistors, choosing not to shrink their manufacturing process doesn't seem to make much sense to us. Smaller fab processes offer not only the potential for faster, cooler chips, but also significantly reduce the cost of the GPU itself. Because manufacturing costs are (after ramping production) on a per wafer basis, the more dies that can be packed onto a single waffer, the less each die costs. It is likely that NVIDIA didn't want to risk any possible delays arising from manufacturing process changes on this cycle, but that seems like a risk that would have been worth taking in this case. Instead, GT200 is the largest die TSMC has ever fabbed for production. Quite a dubious honor, and I wouldn't expect NVIDIA to really see this as something of which to be proud. Of course, that doesn't mean we can't be impressed with the sheer massiveness of the beast. And what do we get from all these transistors? Moving up from 690M transistors of the original G80 and 754M transistors in G92 to the 1.4B transistors of GT200 is not a small tweak. One of the major new features is the ability to processes double precision floating point data in hardware (there are 30 64-bit FP units in GT200). The size of the register file for each SP array has been doubled. The promised ability of an SP to process a MAD and a MUL at the same time has been enhanced to work in more cases (G80 was supposedly able to do this, but the number of cases where it worked as advertised were extremely limited). And the number of SPs has increased from 128 on G80 to 240 with GT200. To better understand what all this means, we'll take a closer look at the differences between G80 and GT200, but first, the cards.

Don Karnage Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 A little underwhelming, it can't handle Crysis at 1920x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF and gets beaten by the 9800GX2 at most 1920x1200 tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 true i will still prefer 8800 GT SLI... as for crysis with 4xAA and 16xAF i doubt we will ever be able to play the game like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 But i still think 8800GT SLI is the way to go.... THe card still holds it own in the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Karnage Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yeah the 8800GT SLI is the best price/performance ratio GPU setup but I prefer a single GPU solution. I was hoping to save enough for a E248WFP monitor and a GPU upgrade but looks like that's not going to happen. I could probably get the GTX 260 but then wouldn't be able to play games at 1920x1200.

MarketTantrik Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've finally got my motherboard to work (Evga 780i SLI), but one of my two brand spanking new Evga 8800GT cards refuses to work now But having 2 320GB WD HDDs in RAID 0 is super duper suhweet.

HundredProofSam Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Im doing an article on why PC gaming still rules in India, despite consoles doing all the business in the West. i would like some inputs from you guys. SO if you dont mind, kindly post your opinions (in a way that can be used in a print article. two and three-word troll comments are useless). also include your full name and location. im not gonna include piracy, coz that is just as applicable in the west. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-JeRi Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Sam, I am Jerin Samuel from trivandrum,kerala... As far as i know from my child hood gaming time...making my pops buy me catridges from my sega and game disc fro my ps2 was a living nightmare... The COST was the biggest or single factor he used to say..he said waste of hard earned money....and very few of my pals had sega and 1 or 2 had ps1 I said the above becoz its the MAIN or single reason why i turned to PC... Availability of pirated games very easily than game discs.... U have to imagine, the only catridge i got first in tvm itself was mario and contra. I have to travel 300+ kms to cochi if i want to buy more. AS a student it was not a option. Consoles be it ps3 or 360 is in very nascent stage in kerala AFAIK. maybe ps2 is finally getting a grip. only now. PC's are more convincing for parents as it have a general usage. They also can get a thing or two done. But console its a no no. ANd a weird rumour, The TV repair shops always say these consoles whatever may it be WILL destroy the picture tube. Game Play is also a issue. KB+Mouse is in most of gamers DNA. Gamepad has to grow on us.None of them dont care to try it out.coz frankly getting a head shot is far easier in old school way. Coming to game availability, the less said the better. In TVM there are 0%. You can very well imagine from TVM there are only 2 members here me and renjith. so game sharing or trading is a no no. I have to buy the ones i want. Which frankly i would not like to do. So i play max games in PC coz they are *ahem* free and buy ONLY 360 exclusives and from my next ps3 purchase I will so the same too. err..These are some of reasons i think..so dont kill me..please.
