i like the one up form this on the gt vertion but still a little out of my price range so im gona get the none gt one so what do guys think should i get this one of do u know of a better one please get back to me i will come back to q3 if u do :P

about that card i like almost all nvidia's BUT what are your pc specs because if you have a simple pc its a waist of momney buying a good cart like that cos you wont use the power off it couse your motherbord or proc, and ram cant handle it.


well about DF BHD its a nice game, good community, good gameplay. but the worst netcode i have ever seen you play with permanent lag and peeps are warping true the maps. you will have to find some nice servers many servers got silly rulles like no camping in sniper maps and if you left your own spawnpoint your baseraping also you will have to find a server witch got normal maps maps are loaded off the server when joining and can be changed by the serveradmin so there are many custom maps but many of them suck.
Hey

yeah that card should be fine dude - i think reb was mainly concerned for PSU...but 80% of comps with 2.0ghz could run it...so 2.6ghz should be fine
(2.0 might not be if some1 who has that reads this and wants to buy...cos 2.0ghz doesnt need as much psu as the card so the psu might be too low)

i donno the game tbh soz

i think ur looking for an action game right? well Call of Duty is a good game amigo 
also  return to castle wolfenstein enemy territory is good too.. (rtcw:ET = www.ausgamers.com = free download)

2nd also - Ehehhe about cs - no worries i can see why u went for it :)

yoyo mad,.









well i have a raden 9800 Pro graffic card with 256-bit DDR memory, on platform 2.8 althon and 512 ram, and it work like a dream for me, so your spec would handle my card well, i get good fps on all servers now, i got my card as a gift but i think the price was about £120 ish, have a look at E-buyer.co.uk there are a good place and i got my pc from there, and it can be a really fast site, i oroderd a hard drive from them on a monday and by wednesday i had it, so have a look, i think the URl is www.e-buyer.co.uk, but i can not remember. it been a while since i got anything from them.

laters yourbutt :D
well a 2600 is more than enough for this card, (chee a xp 2600 is not 2.6 ghz its a rating its 2.3 or something around it) i mean if you put this cart in a 2.0 GHZ the preformance compaired to a older card like the fx 5900 so little that its not worth the price of buying this more expencive one. like i have a xp 2000 (1.6 ghz) if i would buy that cart it would be a waist of money because the preformance difference between the card i have now a (GF 4 TI 4200 slightly overclocked) would be not worth the price.

Well depends what ya gonna play with it, i mean i can play any game out now n i have a 9800Pro (128)


I have this one


http://www.game2xs.com/content.php?action=article&contentid=518  cost me just over £300  year ago and its bin a great card


But you can get a cheaper version  at that site u gave


http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/DisplayInfoMain.asp?e=A7199CA4-4AF1-4512-9613-734F665684BC


i would recommend something like that and then boost ya memory 2 1gig but thats just me :)


n i have a 2600Xp and it runs at 1.92GHz

ah ic..

thought this cos mine is 2600xp and is 2.6ghz :p meh

learnt something new ;)

:D
the 2600 prcessors run at diffrent speeds i u can change the speed when your pc is starting up on bos and there are diffrent vertions of them as well last i saw it was a baron 2600xp meant to be a llittle bit better than the other one b4 it  mine runs at 2.16ghz dont know if its a newer one than yours but its a bit fast :P arrrrrrrrrrrrr i want q3 all ready

is there mutch performans diffrence between the


Evesham GeForce 6800 128MB DDR AGP (OEM)


and



Evesham Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR AGP DVI TV-out (OEM) 


what card is better any one know i tryed looking but still :s cant find out

id have to guess the GeForce 6800 128MB DDR AGP (OEM)

it hasn't been put in the comparison chart (there are so many models of geforce they dont include all) but most geforce 6600/6800 will out-do ati's 9800

http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041222/vga_charts-06.html

where i got the chart (its atm showing info on doom3 and the cards fps on it)

one thing i find with geforce is that it performs much better on higher qualities than ati cards do...
so if u want high quality when u play get geforce
if u only want low quality get ati's

meh
dont know for sure with is faster but the gforce is a newer generation cards. also i like gforce more.

Scroll down 2 the bottom of the page it has a list of cards u can compare, not sure which 6800 that 1 is tho but im sure u can get all the info you want, but yeah the 6800 is a new card so its gonna be faster.


GeForce 6800








Engine Clock (MHz)

325

Memory Clock (MHz) 700


RADEON 9800 PRO


Engine Clock  (MHZ) 380


Memory Clock (MHz) 680


So really lol not much difference appart from 6800 has 12pipes n 9800 has 8pipes

hmmm thanks all for your replys not 100% sure about cards yet thinking the g force is a little nicer  the man thing that this has made me want to do is come back to q3 u are all so nice here :D


but it would feel daft as i sead i would leave and that would be going against my word so :(

clockspeeds does not say mutch if you compaire differend cores, my ati 9700 mobile at 300 mhz is way faster as my Gforce 4200 ti at 400 mhz.



about the xp2600 have many clockspeeds that is partly true actualy it are 3 because there are 3 cores for the xp2600. madjack you say you can change the mhz in the bios yes true but that is called under or over clocking :D so that is not speeds on with your cpu is supposed to be running like my 2000+ runs officialy at 1.66 ghz. but mine is slightly overclocked to 1.75 (old core and crapy cooling cant get mutch more out of it. )


i will explain why i like Nvidia more then ATI. i have a ati in my notebook and played many hours at a friends place on one, my desktop got a nvidia Gforce 4 4200ti and many of my friends have nvidia. well the brightness in ati cards get screwed when you switch in opengl games like quake, doom. programs like msn comme true my ati and fuck off the intire screen at my nvidia they comme true but dissepair and noting is changed in brightness or what so ever. furthermore nvidia optimises for openGL cos they also program in it. they bring out linux drivers with actualy work verry well (ati brings drivers for linux but they have great preformance lose). i heard lots of problems with cooling ati 9800 coolers quit after a wile and cards breake down without any reson (i hear more of those story's about ati than about nvidia. at the game marks nvidia wins in the game benchmarks at almost every test. i like the looks of the screens of nvidia better (ati and nvidia have differend technieks for generating 3d and lightning so that is differend


but i have to say they are both good companies, they are both selled many times but now i tried both i will for sure go for a Nvidia.

no 1 will mind dudey

we'd prefer u back :D
lmfao dont worry the amount of times i said i was leavin n not...well im a total whore at it so get back 2 it and enjoy.
yeah we will see this true the fingers for one time everyone makes a stuppid mistake sometimes and its never bad to set things right again especialy when it means we get you back :D
ok im bac playing q3 but under a diffrent name cause i feel im not playing good the first on to say what my new name is wins a * so get quaking :D
errm i know it..but u told me it...

am i still allowed to guess? :p
cheee cheee chee when will u ever learn NO! NO! that would be cheating and if u cheat on this do u cheat in q3 or is that just me :P j/k chee is the most pure out of us all
errm yeah im just gonna say this:

*Rawr*

:)

now im back playing q3 im sad as 222 has died off :( i cry for 2 hr 34.4sec over this but hi clans die so :P its a shame as i put a lot of time in to the clan but im hoping i will get some other clan soon so if u see a very good player in q3 dont ask him to join ask madjak or why dont u ask


PerfectioN <---- HE GOT THE w0w factor about him


madjak<----w0w factor as well


mad how PerfectioN and madjak play the same have same ping maby they are twins :S weared or maby mad is PerfectioN or PerfectioN is madjak :o

well i read up about it and confused me lots but still i feel i learn a little more about them

MaD JaK Told :

i found the card he has GEFORCE2 MX 400 64MB DDR AGP4X VGA



http://www.xfxforce.com/product_view.php?sku=PVT07GMR


i think he is selling it to some one for £10 pound


Posted on 18 February 2005 at 17:00:28

let me say it like this in the netherlands the 256 mb version of the FX5200 is 80 euro's new. so i think 30 pounds is a nice price for a secondhand card. about the GF 2 i think 10 pound well if he finds someone who will have it for that kind of money that card sucks ass no modern game will run on it above 640 x 480 but that card is 4 years old so i think your friend and you made some good deals.


of this card he has run doom 3 so its not all bad and if things go my way i will get them 2 m8 in to q3 ehehhe some more people to own ehehe we are trying to find a game that we will all play oin the net my m8 got a 7??k connection so he gona set up a server some times and we just play agains bots or eatch other but does any one know if servers are easy or does it bepent what game your playing q3 servers look easy to set up but i did not try it it would only get me confused


lol

in some games you can just setup a server by clicking in some menu's in quake you need to make a file with the settings and a file to load them in quake its not hard if you have the files

i hope i can get them to play q3 eheh so i cant own them stema all ready has the files on the downloads so i can ge them easy the one whos getting my gfx card plays ut2003 so i think i cant get him to like q3 easy
