Dan's new gaming rig.

LOL, pitty

 

AA- I hope I understood you correctly, but you have V-Sync turned off, right? It kills performance.

 

It is turned on.. =) cause i dont need to worry about it.

 

I have my doubts that you're getting that hi of FPS. No benchmark can back your claims.

Anything over 82 FPS is too much for your eye to aknowledge anyways. Scientists proved it.

 

Don't movies only run at 24 fps? But we don't notice because it doesn't change at all... or something.

Anyway, I was running UT today at 1280*1024 with maximun details at 70 fps. Is that good, or is there something wrong?

 

I use 3dmark2001 I get very good scores =)

 

oh ya people if your gonna buy a geforce 3 buy the VisionTek GeForce 3
it is the best one on market and not that expensive as other's
still far from cheap though.

 

I have the VisionTek GeForce2 GTS, and yes they make really good cards.

But, when I build my system, I will go with has the most features. Right now, the ASUS 8200 Deluxe has that. We'll see what comes out when the new version of the GeForce3 is released.

 

What do you need for TV-out? My card supports it, but it didn't come with a cable or anything.

 

asus is the cheater's card though =/

but very nice

i am still sore about those drivers.

 

Yeah, ASUS made a huge mistake doing that, but where else can I find a card with all those features?

To tell you the truth, I'm thinking about just having two graphics cards in my GOD BOX system. Dunno how it will work out with the OS, but it would be very handy to have another screen for tools, message clients, and a ton of other things.

It would be the greatest if I could have it run a desktop while my main card is in game mode. That way, I could message/e-mail while in my game, without having to deal with quitting out.

Then again, my laptop is going to be my communications machine for some time... so I really don't need that 2nd screen, unless I want it dedicated for TV

 

Another good thread, long live the classics

 

w00t! Thread revival, hehe.

 

yep, that sounds like a great box man!

I built mine around the same time, but I didnt get the 19", I'm still on 15

But I have 1gig AMD
512 SD-ram
ATI 64DDR vid
40gig HD 7200rpms
and my weak link SB16, looking to up to the new SB that just came out but I need over $200 to get it.

Also if you havent already, get an optical mouse! I love it and I havent had to clean the smutz out of it once

I also have to share some of this power with Adobe Premier so not all of the 40 gig is for games.

It all cost me a total of $42 (in memoriam of a cool frood who knew where his towel was)

 

Holy poop-on-a-stick what a great system!

 

DAN -

IBM Desktar 60GB hard drive

And you haven't got the space to keep JK on your hard drive...

Sorry dude, need a better excuse than that!

Hehe, just tell us you think it's crap!

 

It all cost me a total of $42

Sweet.

And JK does not suck. Just really really boring. It was awesome for its time, but there are so many better games out there.

 

It's time was 5 years ago.

 

AA set up us the 42nd post.

And it was 4, but whatever. Heh.

 

97.. its 2002 buddy

 

Have any of you guys used one of those new Hercules Game Theater sound cards? I'm thinking of upgrading my SB16 and wondered if anyone could give me some advice.

Thanks!!

SJ

 

I've never used one. Sorry.

AA, fall 97, and it is now summer/fall 01.

It is not year 2002 AA. Short bus.

 

More like bus with missles to kill danny.


And go with a sblive 5.1 instead better driver support.

 

Okay, my parents are on a 1500 dollar budget and they wont buy anything unless its at a store and unless its made by a major manufacturur(IBM, Compaq, Dell) I wanted to build but I can't order stuf on the net and they don't want a "Cheap clone" they need a compaq/dell/ibm. Arg.
So anyways what kind of stats should I try to get from one of these comps?

 

dude, tell your parents you will pay more and get garbage...


if you can get dell, or gateway... those are both online and you will save a bit and can customize more.
