Unreal Tournament 3 mods.

And I don't really know what you mean "fell for the marketing" -- I had the 8800GT anyway.

I had 3GB of RAM...CPU controller couldn't handle it no matter what speed I set it at...:(

Ouch man, I won't lie. This is seriously one of the things I didn't want to hear this month.

And yet... performance wise... they compete really well o.O

Re: Graphics Card Survey

Well, the 4800 series one is not entirely accurate, since the 4870 and 4890 compete with the GTX 260 Core 216 and GTX275, not the GeForce 9800 series (GTS250 and GTS240).

Re: Graphics Card Survey

Either way, it looks like Nvidia's new GT300 series going to be a pretty major upgrade, starting with 512 shader processors.

Re: Graphics Card Survey

HD5870 will have 2000 stream processors, 512-bit GDDR5 memory, and a core exceeding 1GHz; HD5000 vs. GTx300 will be an interesting showdown indeed.

Re: Graphics Card Survey

The radeon 5000 series is suppose to come out first though, with a mid-summer release date while the GT300 series is going to somewhere in October. I hope ATi pulls something worth waiting another 2 months for, the thought of playing games on my X1300 PRO makes me cringe.

Actually it will only have 1000 stream procs. Everything else you said is right on the dot.

Somewhere near the end of July to be slightly more exact.

I would definately like to see these cards go head-to-head with Crysis on Performance.

Yeah, misinterpretation on my part...they screwed with the naming scheme in all the blogs. They are calling R870 the dual-chip graphics card, when in fact it simply denotes an HD5870 core, Ã* la HD4870.

Re: Graphics Card Survey

Yeah, cards are getting pretty long these days. I really marveled at the length of my HD4850 when I got it through the post :O

Re: Graphics Card Survey

Is it really that much bigger than say, a 7800GT/X?

One is two slot the other isnt.
It was big enough of a difference to make the GTS hit the backend of the hard drive, the otherside of the base.

Re: Graphics Card Survey

Ah, well I was concerned with length, I knew about the slot difference. Should've been more specific. If I am building a desktop PC, I fully expect to be using a dual-slot card.

Just bought a sapphire radeon 4770, I'll see how this turns out. Would this count as ATI 2006-present?

You're not struggling if you're not trying. And trying is having at least a low-end video card.

Hmm, I was wondering about that. Anyways, unless your laptop can switch out those very limited PCI-E graphics cards, DON'T POST IN THIS THREAD ABOUT YOUR LAPTOP SUCKING. A better idea would be to add a note saying that you're using a laptop.
