Video Card Thread (Mostly Gecube x1950xt)

Which country do you live in? Is it Scandinavian?

 

I told you... The Netherlands... (incorrectly aka Holland)
We're topographically neighbors.

 

Ah right, sorry must have missed that.
Don't novatech do international shipping?
http://www.novatech.co.uk

 

It looks like it, a tenner up to 31.5Kgs, not too much I guess.
But then I don't know the prices there.
I'm guess good prices since you know the store?

 

Most places will charge you £9-11 for UK mainland delivery, albeit next day. Not used novatech myself, but haven't heard anything bad.

 

Ah yeah, it's about the same costs it seems.
They say 10 pounds for shipping in 2 days.
Even if that would turn out to be 5-10 days, that's affordable.

 

All I can say, Sam, is that I am undoubtedly going to continue to take more advantage of that incredible knowledge you have accumulated, as I start to get better equipment. Btw, I'll wait patiently until one day you find that unbelievably scenic view in EP2 and post a 2560 x 1600 screenshot. But if you forget all about it - I'll remind you in a week or so!

Dinc, that is some terrific preview you provided of Far Cry 2. I played Far Cry, like almost everybody else, and I enjoyed it immensely. It was ground-breaking. But you have me really anticipating Far Cry 2. So you're fighting with buddies unlike Far Cry? Great! They went to Africa to research the game? They created a new engine? Anyway, dinc, really nice, great review! (Holy cr*p - I followed your link and watched the 13 minutes of film - wow! I better have the new build by the time that thing comes out next year! Unbelievable!)

See you guys,
Rich

 

Well yeah, you can take your buddies, or at LEAST one of them for backup.
And probably also alongside, that's something to hope for anyways.
But I think you have to choose if they come with you though.
You have contact with them personally and through cell-phones.

But yes, they actually went to Africa.
Find the official website and you can see some footage of that.
And also yes they have a new engine called Dunya (if that's spelled right).
It was to be able to create all the features they wanted of course.

And the game will be out more like October this year...
By the way, there are some more awesome demonstrations on GameSpot.
At least 2 demonstrations for exclusively for GameSpot on their own stage.
And I believe also one of those big ones on stage in front of a crowd you know, just like the one I linked but then a lot newer.
Obviously, from last E3, which was like last week so yeah.

lol I haven't forgotten Rich, but I'm having difficulty finding it. My savegames from when I played the game are a bit mismatched. I have oodles of save games during the strider battle, a handful from the section where the combine are in the base before that, and then my last save before that is the journey up to the base indoors. Is it still in the 'our mutual fiend' section?

Take a look at this:
Which save do I launch and continue for how long?

Hey guys,

Dinc, thanks for the extra links. Awesome!! You know, it's interesting. You were so "I hate run and gun!" that when I saw the 13 minutes of action on the first link you gave us a couple of days ago, I thought "That doesn't sound like the style dinc likes." But the night fighting was interesting. At any time in the game, apparently, you can go into a safe house, and fast forward to night. And then you can play the game full stealth like Tom Clancy - in fact they mentioned Splinter Cell during the night action demonstration. Amazing!!

Sam, I'm sorry you had trouble finding the spot I was talking about. Since I am gaming today, I found it. It's at the end of the "Under the Radar" section. Let me see if I can load this screenshot - I tried to get into image shack where you guys are putting your screenshots, and I couldn't see how to open an account, so I'm going to try to put a shrunken version of my screen shot right here linking to my web site:

...

That's the spot! Also nice place to use the suit Z zoom and look at the water.

See you guys,
Rich

 

No need for an account, upload and go, off the main page!
Cheers for the screenie, I know where you mean now. Will have it up by this evening, promise!

 

what game is that?

 

HL2: Episode Two, silly... hehe we've been talking about it for ages!

 

Shaf - haven't you played that? Where have you been?

 

Rargh, trying to get past the autogun again, forgotten how to do it...

 

Autogun?? Well, just go to options and switch to Easy, and you'll fly right through it - are you talking about Episode 2?

 

I am, and I already have. You still can't leap in front of it on easy...

 

wow, never played any of the half lifes. IT LOOKS BLOODY FANTASTIC THOUGH!

 

Oh, you're talking about a turret?? "Auto-gun" makes sense.

 

Nono, the massive laser guided thing in the swamp!

Shaff: unbelievable, get playing them. I was sceptical of the hype initially, but I thoroughly enjoyed them.
