Can you run it at 16 by 12 resolution, everything maxed out, with
AA-enabled, at 70FPS..... ? An X800 or 6800GT can -- least my 6800 GT can, think that's all folks were trying to say. I just replaced my 9800 PRO, which I agree is probably the best buy at the moment. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

That's alright, I've got $500 more in my pocket than you and I don't need
that kind of resolution to enjoy this game. "fred" wrote in message ... Can you run it at 16 by 12 resolution, everything maxed out, with AA-enabled, at 70FPS..... ?

I see your point. You would think Halo's low res, low poly count textures and
models should run at 1600x1200 on a 9800 Pro 2/128MB of memory but that sure as hell isn't the case. I was able to get Halo to run at 1280 x 1024 w/no problems. My 9800 Pro is overclocked to XT speeds though, I've got 1GB of PC3200 DDR and an Athlon Barton running at 2340Mhz.

This card is now over two years old, there weren't even any DX9 titles released when it first came out, and yet it runs the latest games without a hitch. I think that's pretty amazing and a testament to how far ahead of its time it was when ATI first conceived it. I had been worried I might need to upgrade to an X800 or something, but thank God I didn't waste the money. My trusty old 9800 Pro has done a marvelous job. (Now I'll start worrying about whether it can handle STALKER). I just got mine : when I got through the rigmoral of getting it working (my machine had awful conflicts with it for some reason), it really is an awesome upgrade. What I find interesting is that usualyy with a game, everyone starts pulling their dicks out in order to compare frame rates : It says something for the gameplay in HL2 that no one has done that yet! Everyone is too busy enjoying the game for the gameplay and not the technical achievements and how it runs on their machines. Here I'll start.. 100fps-80fps with my rig. cl_showfps 1 Pluvious |
