Er, wasn't a point I made earlier that not everybody needs to buy a top-end video card with half a gig of ram? That's what my comment on the sims 2 was about. It on integrated graphics is generally shitty, but you don't need a series 8 card for it. I have a habit of not quoting so it gets kind of ha...

Yes, but not for playing sims 2 at 1024x768. XD I'm saying not everybody needs that much, as older games usually only support 4x or 2x, and people don't generally run the highest resolution because they complain things are too small to see on their monitors. So yes, it's good, but a lot of the time ...

panzer: And it's not like most programs are written in assembly, either.


gil: I wasn't meaning the OS itself.
Then again, an API layer and all this might be too much work for too old of a program set.

Gil: Well, once you throw in high resolution textures (which of course people changing graphics settings have no idea what it means) and 8XAA, you can run into the 400MB range with some games.

Radeon 3400 HD series.

http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/01/03/amd_radeon_hd_3400_series_coming/ For those of you that don't know, ATI's HD 38xx series is the competitor to nvidia's 8-series cards... though they are not as good as anything above the 320/640 meg GTS models. So Nvidia's had the top of the market with the GTS...

GeForce 9800 GX2.

Article For a high-end series 9 card, It'd better perform at least 30% faster than an 8800 Ultra. Any guesses on the pricing and availability? A gig of VRAM seems a bit much, though. I can bet most of the people buying cards with half a gig of VRAM, even, are playing games at 1024x768 and wasting m...

Nah, then they'd have a big problem with software piracy, and would be losing the profits they get from buying computer parts from the manufacturers and reselling them at a markup. At least with normal computer manufacturers, what you pay for is the support, and not the $250 of (totally kickass for ...

Sorry, I have a bad habit of not quoting on forums because... 475mhz processor. Usually by the time all the extra pages are done loading for me to get the quotes off of, my post no longer applies, or has already been said.

Anyways, I was referring to the 'fan translation' of FF6.
