this is true.

 

Although it only makes a few FPS difference on the same quality settings

Still go for $230-$250 bucks

 

128meg card

 

9800pro w/ R360 core.. which is the 9800XT core.

Card was flashed to the XT bios which makes this a fully function 9800XT with XT core voltage, core speed and ram speed.

 

The benchmarks run on my machine were actually better than those taken from Tomshardware.com on their AGP charts 3Dmark2003 score. And mine was 400mhz slower with much less ram. This card is bad ass. I beat HL2 with it though, and thats the only reason I really picked it up in the first place

 

$175 no less. First come first serve, I had quite a few PMs/IMs asking if I was selling this.

 

This thing is an overclockers dream. This is the best AIR cooling setup you can get. http://www.jlipp.com/temp/vidcard1.jpg

wow really.

 

give it up kiddo

lets not get all pissy tongue.gif

 

its football.. who the hell cares.. its not a life altering situation.

 

I think 70% of the fans on either side dont give a crap about the game at all, they'de rather get wasted, act like retards, burn cars, get in fights and be arrested.

 

I read so many dumb ass away messages today, and like always... people waking up at 6am to get hammered, and stumble to campus and probably not rememeber the game anyways..

 

"If you aren't down on campus partying it up and getting drunk you are WRONG... "

 

"who got the partying started at 6am!?

tailgating by riverwatch FRONT ROW BABY..kegs and eggs.."

 

"waking up at 5:30 by ***** cookin us breakfast, and then partyin our asses off all day!!!! "

 

All messages from some people I know... I notice, not one of them has anything to do with a "football game", but rather, an afterparty.

 

Maybe Im just too old at 21. Ide rather sit at home and watch the game rather than head to campus and deal with a bunch of drunken asses. Not to mention worry about my car getting smashed or tampered with if the home team lost.

 

Needless to say.. I'll be one of the prick cops arresting the drunken irresponsible people in the future.

I beat it a couple hours ago,

 

WOW,

 

I cant give away the ending either.

I bumped into M Black at lunch today and he told me.

 

All of those winter days in the garage, loosing brain cells to kerosene fumes, countless cans of brake cleaner and trips to lowes.. and $$BOOM$$.

 

Stupid cars. Shitty.

hah, 9800xt up to the highest bidder!

6600 would be worth it to those with a PCI Express slot sure. I dont know if the AGP version has been released yet or not. After reading a little more.. it seems like some people may have one, but doesnt seem they have many out. Confusing.

 

Im going to be selling in a month or so yes.

I COULDNT agree more. HL2 engine is by far more exciting. Doom3 was popular at the time, HL2 will be the new hotness now, and more so in the future. I think it was a good thing HL2 was released after Doom. After people see HL2, I dont think Doom will sell nearly as much to new players.

X800 on top of this one...

Both good cards..

Yup, you should all go buy it Its well worth it

Another +1 on 3s side.. at least the 3s will sell for TRIPLE what a DSM sells for.

 

I could sell my 91 for the same price you could buy a 97 GSX or GST for (7-8k). Just the other day I saw a 93 vr4 sitting on a lot for 13k. Some one will buy it. Gotta love the resale at least.

6fps isnt much from ATI to GF

 

Different benches show the X800 on top, other ones show the GF on top... X800 pulls a little ahead on quality with AF and AA. I'll still be getting the GF6800GT myself in a bit. I only got the 9800xt because I paid $150 bucks for it with an ICEQ fan setup

 

Greg you should pull decent frames with an 800x600 res at medium qualities.

Ive never done the time demo.. but personally I pull 60+ frames most of the time on Doom3.. I get slow downs because of my shit ram amount at the moment.. Doom 3 runs my system up to 604megs used, with a mear 161 running before I play the game. Thats with no processes other than my system stuff, and ATI software, and logitech MX1000 mouse soft too.

 

These new games are MACHINE INTENSIVE!!

I would agree with Neo... You could probably run 800x600 at low to medium res maybe.

 

The GF FX cards were nice at first, but got put down and shut out quite fast...

 

Im going to take some screen shots tonight and will post them.. some of the guys here at work want to see as well.

 

Here is Doom3 at high quality.. 1024x768.. card bench... http://www.jlipp.com/temp/bench.gif

I woke up a bit early to catch the steam release. So far Im only a mear 15mins into the game and must say... its been worth the wait for the release of this game.

 

I cant wait to get home and geek out the rest of my day I even took off Thurs and Fri to play lol graemlins/burnout02.gif

wants 170 for it.
