Schweet.. Thanks for pointing that out.

Finally, Doom III at reasonable framerates. 8-) Actually, all considering, I'm looking forward to what Carmack does to Doom3 in regards to the G5. He, or I should say Id in genera…

Ah, *the* card you will want for playing DOOM III. And Halo, of course. Has an ADC, cool. But not for G4s�not cool. Ah well.

Don't count on a 9800 Pro running Doom III at a decent resolution and not without lowering graphics settings. There are already games *now* (eg. Call of Duty) that eat this card.

I can play Call of Duty on max settings at 1280x1024 on a GeForce4Ti. I think the 9800Pro should be able to play Doom III at reasonable FPS on normal settings, at least.

I thought Carmack said he was going to cap Doom 3 at 60 fps. -Jerry C.

Considering how long D3 has been in development, it's pretty impressive that they designed a game from the start that would still tax graphics cards at it's release. I'd rather h…

Thumbs up on the ADC connector but thumbs down on the 256 megs of RAM. 256 meg cards have been out on the PC for a while and there are no games that benefit from it. It's just a …

I have a friend who thinks the same way about the extra 128MB of RAM. He would say something like it is like having a big dick but no where to put it. However I have other friends…

Some games, and near future games, will definitely take advantage of the extra video memory. All of those higher resolution textures and higher res models have to go somewhere. Hav…

i have a question. I own a dual 2 gig g5 and 2 apple 20" lcds both hooked up via the default (9600?) vid card... one dvi one adc... when i have DOZENS of windows open, expose wil…

Screw Quake III tests. Everyone should run Diablo II. You can have a dual Opteron with 4GBs of RAM and a 256MB Radeon XT and it'll still slow to 20 fps when you turn the minimap …

I think thats due more to poor coding then the computer/graphics card you run the game on.

If I had $500 just lying around, I'd probably pick one up. But, I don't think I go shifting my finances around just to afford one. I'll probably stick with my 9600 for now. On my d…

Call of Duty readme actually states "Solution: Call of Duty uses a lot of detailed textures, and in the normal course of play works best with at least 32M-64M of VRAM on your vid…

You know, gaming isn't the only thing you can do with a graphics card. I can fill up those 256MiB with a single 3D texture in about a quarter of a second. Right now I'm doing visua…

Was it necessary to dig up a 6 month old thread?

And what do you have against archaeology :-)

I have a G4 500mhz Tibook that is giving me some major difficulty as of the last few days. If it goes to sleep, is restarted or shut down it will not restart. I have managed to s…
