If it's faster than the 9600GT at the same or only slightly higher pricepoint, then there would be plenty of point to it.

» The Question Most Want To Know
Honestly, GPU vs CPU numbers are nice, but I would rather see how much of a hit enabling GPU physics causes in the first place.

Show the framerates with GPU physics versus no physics at all. If we're talking about a 50% hit or more, that probably won't be acceptable to most.

Well, considering 7 out of 10 are some variant of The Sims or WOW, it's understandable.

But yeah, I hear you.

Do you think AMD really expects the masses to buy 4 GPUs?? You have to do some detective work just to find it mentioned on their website.

So why are you bitching about having more options again?? Nobody's forcing you to buy 4 cards. Do you just like having all your decisions made for you?

For those of you who can't understand basic economics, I'll make it very simple...

The whole reasoning behind a price cut is to increase demand. If demand is already outstripping supply, a price cut would be moronic.

The only reason for doing so would be to lose money.

Interesting that infantry are 1/10th the size of a battlecruiser. Could you even fit 2 inside to pilot the thing?

If the bandwidth isn't there?? These cards have 512-bit interfaces. Bandwidth was never the issue for the 2900 series.

The O-line is actually quite good. Grossman is just completely immobile and has no pocket presence. The running backs are also doing a very poor job of picking up blitzes.

Muhammad is over the hill, and needs to be benched. Berrian gets double-teamed.

It probably means until they clear out all their leftover R600 stock. I wouldn't be surprised if they're selling XT-capable chips as Pros, just to move units.

The Japanese don't like Xbox because it's from an American company. Microsoft hasn't really pushed for any 3rd party games which are appealing to them though (RPG's, etc).

^^ That's totally false. The G80 and G84 are complete different designs, and don't even use the same manufacturing process (90nm for G80, 80nm for G84).

This type of extreme exertion can't be good for a developing body at age 8. She'll probably end up with majorly screwed hormones, overstressed organs, and who knows what else.

DX10 ran at the same framerate because there was virtually nothing different between the two.

A company editing its own Wikipedia entry is one of the lamest things I can think of. Not to mention a bit shady.

Same goes for politicians.

C'mon guys, are you kidding?? It's bad enough that we've only been getting previews and interviews for the past year, but now it's devolved to stupid iPhone accessory articles?

How about reviewing a finished game....or at least something gaming related.

I wouldn't want to go with them to watch Packers games either if I was the kid.

I don't see this single event as being worthy of jailtime though. Any reason why the guy got the longer sentence?

I thought this was going to be an article about how the iPhone is actually infecting people with a virus that turns them into enraged zombies.

Needless to say, I was disappointed.

They really need to fix the unit vs building scale in this game. It looks like some sort of Japanese cartoon.

Apparently framebuffer and memory bandwidth aren't limitations of the R600.

Why is it alright for females to wear a bikini, but when a man wears one it's public indecency?

I'm confused how that works....unless his balls were hanging out the side or something.

I'd say around ~70% of the charts have some degree of distorted text.


Another example

That's the big mystery. You'll have to play the game to find out.

The benchmark charts aren't displaying at the proper resolution for me with either FF or IE. As a result, text becomes garbled as in the SS link.

My desktop res is 1280x960.

By the way, if I was Rockstar, I'd tell MS that their exclusive GTA IV content will now cost 500 million dollars.
