| | Someone posting on Slashdot recommended the HardOCP 'review'. I had a look. Pretty much a waste of time. I completely agree with Jakub's sentiment (although maybe it was a little too confrontational). What is the point of pitting CPUs against each other when they are being bottlenecked by the GPU? Sure, it's 'real world', but it doesn't give you an idea of what your CPU investment is going to be like next year when a faster GPU comes along. Flag this | Edit this post |

| "Right now the DOOM 3 engine can rip apart almost any video card" - What does that mean? Doom 3 itself runs on most graphics cards from the Geforce 4Ti and up. It's even been made to run on a Geforce 2. It depends what you put into the engine in terms of the number of polygons, size of textures , effects, resolution and so on as to how much it stresses the graphics card.
Obviously if you're cranking up resolution and AA/AF/HDR then you'll need $1500 of SLI GPU nonsense, but I expect ET:QW will run reasonably with current hardware. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | In other news, I think you need to have words with your advert people. I seem to get a lot of pop-ups for TribalFusion all of a sudden when visiting FS. Worst of all they seem to get around the latest version of Firefox. The first time I've had to block a domain completely. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | One of our cats used to run up people's backs. One time we had some guy come to measure up for a new carpet, and he took one step inside the front door, and the cat came bolting indoors and straight up his back. The look on his face was priceless. Flag this | Edit this post |
