    Re: Rate my rigzorz!

    No most other people are mistaken. They confuse graphic quality with performance.

    "w00t0rz t3h nVidia c4rd r0xx0rz!" has been heard all too often. nVidia does have excellent graphical rendering and runs graphic heavy programs with ease because that is what its designed for! It is designed for development and graphical design computers. ATI openly admits that it creates its cards for gamers! Their card support alot more graphical functions and animations. For instance, an nVidia card might play a cutscene from a game with incredible graphics but at the slight expense of motion fluidity and possible FPS rate. The ATI card would play the same cutscene with equal graphics but would maintain the fluidity of motion. Let's take a look at the water in BF2. If someone with an nVidia card could post a short video and an ATI user the same thatd be great. If you fire a few rounds into the water in BF2, an nVidia card would render the surrounding water texture brilliantly and it would render the splash sprite well also but the motion of the sprite would be rendered poorly. The ATI card might lose a bit on the graphical side but would render the motion incredibly well. Its the age-old fight of graphics over performance.

    PS I like the "98% of the people on this board don't give a **** if you've smoked weed or not. " in your sig. :-D :-D

          Ok so anyway all I wanted to know was if this comp could run BF2 and if so on what level settings?

            Believe me, if you want your CPU to not cause your FPS to drop, buy a sound card. Buying one takes the sound processing off the CPU.

              4 Ghz CPU. I dont have to worry about that. Plus, how much would a little onboard sound would really bog down a 3000+? Seeing as Dell come with onboard Audio and Video and a Pent4 and still have a good balance.

                    Rofl, you don't have a 4Ghz CPU.

                      Ok, 8/10, and by system memory, i think he means 4 sticks of Crucial DDR400 512mb of ram, just a typo. A 3000+ will do at most 5 fps worse than with a FX-57, Processors don't matter too much. Anyways, everybody says nvidia is better for some reason, is it just because i the demo it said nvidia, "the way it was meant to be played" becuase they are the same, X800XT equals Ultra. It's all good.

                        Yet another thread degerated into typical fanboyism, and whoever said that NVidia cards were primarily for deevloping and not gaming, thanks for the giggle. :)

                        Thread moved to Hardware forum.

                          HAHAHA wow, yeah nice job dude you have really done your research. What are you on crack? That doesn't make sense in any way shape or form. Cutscenes? WTF are you on?

                          nVidia and ATi are both gaming cards. Each one make special cards for "rendering" and they aren't made for gaming. You have no clue what you are tlakin about.

                            nVidia=graphics/development card
                            ATI=gaming card

                            Nvidia is highly overated. And as for getting a 939 board?



                            Also ASUS does not manufacture a 939 board with AGP and nVidia chipset.
                            That isn't actually true, they're both for gaming. I'd rather have a x800xt over a 6800gt or ultra anyday.

                            I wouldn't really bother going for socket 939 cause in the process, you'd have to almost completely overhaul your system. (Processor, Motherboard, and probably a new video cause u'd want to go PCI-Express) Some will say you should go socket 939 b/c in the long run you can upgrade ur cpu without having to exchange ur mobo, but they're already developing socket 940 anways.

                            As of now, ur system is fine, EXCEPT you need to get a real sound card. I'd recommend getting a Audigy 2 ZS, it's not as expensive as the Audigy Xi-Fi and still has great quality. A sound card will lessen the cpu's work on sound and could give u a small frame rate boost.

                              Socket 940 has been out for a while now..... 939 still has a long life, especially with X2s.

                                940 has been out a long time and 940 isn't replacing 939, it just uses ECC and 939 doesn't. ECC isn't meant for everyday desktop use.
