Video Card Thread (Mostly Gecube x1950xt)

I hope Ubisoft will. XD
Or at least a collaboration or something.

Ubisoft: "This is realism..."
Valve: "Ooo!" *Creates awesome game.*

Or like they merge all together and REALLY create 'Rainbow Six: Counter-Strike'.
That would be such a huge title. XD

They might as well just take RS: Vegas and change the features to Counter-Strike's,
tweak it into something better than "RSV" and there you go. 8| lol
Of course also different maps, but the whole styles of the two games are already quite similar.

 

Realism perhaps, I just wish Ubisoft would work a bit harder on graphics. They produce the most unimpressive games visually of all, and to be quite honest, what I've seen of FarCry 2 so far is no exception. It looks very STALKER in style, and very outdated in rendering ability - the 'it'll run on an 8600' is beginning to make more sense...

 

Hm, I'm not sure about "Ubisoft & Graphics".
I agree that for example Rainbow Six looks horrific in some ways. :S
But then other games might look a lot nicer in comparison.

Anyways, Far Cry 2 does really look good.
It doesn't look oldish, more Crysis-like, but not as... you know "showoff"... or something like that,
if you know what I mean.
Not as much as, "Oooh, look at our super-awesome DX10 sunrays." and stuff. XD

 

It just looked a little 'console-y' to be fair..., a bit like the Brothers in Arms game. What was the other game I looked at here recently? That looked excellent.

 

Hm, yeah maybe a little, but I think it's mainly built for the PC though.
They say all versions would be exactly the same, except they changed something about the console-versions to smooth things out.
Actually, you might have seen console-versions then. XD
I can totally tell when something is X360 instead of PC.
Not just the movement of the controller, even for that I have to look for quite a while sometimes.
But there's just something about them with the whole console-thing yeah...

I'm not sure about the other game anymore... *thinks*

 

Operation Flashpoint 2...

 

Ooooh... but I dont really know it. lol
*researchifies*

Oh yeah, Ive been looking at it before.
As I of course already knew the name.
It looks quite amazing at a glance at some screenshots here.

By the way, my computer seems to be suffering from something the last minutes.
As you can see the symbols in like Ive and its dont appear... :S
Also when I checked the processes, winlogon.exe was acting up to 40%.
Do you know whats going on at the moment? lol

 

Got antivirus working? Winlogon hanging is almost always a virus or spyware.

 

I think it's COMODO Firewall then, it seems to be hanging.
Yeah, I restarted it now, it calmed down.

My anti-virus is NOD32, that thing just updates while I play games online and it barely bothers anything. XD

 

NOD32's great, and I want to go back to it, but I can't afford it at the moment, so I have to use AVG free, which grinds my PC to a halt... Still, not as bad as Norton though. At least I can shut my PC down!

 

Pft, I just crack the hell out of software like that.
Well, not myself, I'm not going to get into that kind of stuff.
I'm not proud of it, I'd be happy to buy reasonably priced protection-software.
Except most software still is too expensive.
It just makes it the same as rich people buying security-installations for their houses...
Which we over here in this house are not.

By the way, if you don't want to do the same,
how about using an older version of AVG Free?
Like 7.5, was the time when they were still light, which I used too.
Had to remove 8 of course...

 

Should try F-Prot, that's what I use.

 

8|...

Woah, NEVER heard of it. *searches*

 

OMG, NO, you've GOT to be kidding me!

Look what Wiki says about OF2:

"Genre(s) First-person shooter, Third-person shooter"

That better not be what I think it could mean. -_-'

 

Another good reason to use it. Most people that write these virus', don't have F-prot included in their script to skip in case of a virus scan.

 

Yeah, I understand.
But then, I'd rather use a popular one to be sure it's good.
Instead of having to research myself if it's good enough.
I believe you if you use it, why not, but you never know how something is.

 

I've been using it for several years now and have never had a virus. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with "online smarts", but the protection is there.

/init 0

 

i know sam, but it'll be an investment, as good cases dont change and go through many a build (just like PSUs) and i really want the full black of the antec 1200.

Why do I get the feeling we'll be upgrading at the same time?
Studentfinance for the win.
