    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    The worst part is that Kyle's rebuttal doesn't even address the majority of points in FS's reply to his accusations that 'everyone but [H] lies to us'(paraphrased). In that respect I'd say his response was even more of a waste(of bandwidth) too, but I suppose the intellitext revenues make up for...

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    Well, considering H only tested with GPU limited games, I'd say that was what they wanted me to learn. So, yes it has been proven, check out the performance differences in the high resolution benchmarks with crossfire that practically every other site besides [H] ran, and while you're at it...

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    The fact of the matter is, Firing Squad and most other sites at least give you a comprehensive set of data with which to make a decision. They show you the difference between products at high rez AND at low rez, which allows you to ballpark how the product they are benchmarking(be it cpu or gpu)...

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    First of all, it's not imposible at all. Requirements tend to go up as hardware capabilities go up. Never in all my years has it gone the other direction. I think a rough idea of how something might perform in the future is much better than no idea at all. What use is a CPU benchmark that will...

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    Well, maybe I can save you some more money: Sell your current CPU, buy a 3200+ sempron... you'll get the very similar performance results because according to [H]'s 'real world', your CPU doesn't matter because all games are GPU bound anyways.

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    2 years from now, when there are GPUs on the market that are 2-3 times as powerful as todays GPUs, are todays games still going to be GPU limited? No. Will a ~30% performance difference between the two current top end offerings have an impact on gaming at that point? Yes. Say you've bought into...

    Half-Life 2: Episode 1

    I really liked the game, it felt very polished and had some really good sequences, most notably the undergound levels with Alex. However, I do feel a bit ripped off... I played through the game on normal difficulty, and it only took 3 hours to beat. Plus it had a couple of annoying filler...

    Upgrade to X850XT?

    I have the x850xt in my main PC, and I am not able to do HDR in oblivion. I prefer the way it looks on my roommate's 6800GS, which can do HDR in oblivion, performs just as good as the x850xt in all D3D games (when he unlocks the 4 pipes), and performs better in all openGL games, and has a...

    Ageia's PhysX Needs a Killer App @ [H] Enthusiast

    the one thing i'm hoping comes of all this physx crap is a game with completely destructable terrain. i want a game in which EVERYTHING can be smashed and exploded. combine that with a stunning graphical virtualization of the real world, spawn me with a rocket launcher and unlimited ammo, let me...

    Prime95 is solid until I run 3D

    It's best to run 2 instances of Prime95, one with the small FFT option, and one with the blend option. If you're hyperthreading or dualcore, this will tax the cpu to the max. If there's any instability at all with the phsyical CPU or RAM or their clocks, this WILL find it. My guess is that...

    Does ATI have digital vibrance ?

    build a new computer or buy a 360?

    If you buy a new PC right now, a year from now it will have devalued by 50% at least. Meanwhile, the X-Box360 will only lose about $100 off it's retail price. Buy the X-Box 360, wait a year or 2, then get a new socket M2 quadcore with 5 pci express slots, quantum ram, holographic storage, or...

    Halo 2 to be Vista only

    Who wants to bet me that there won't be a WAREZ'D version(possibly released even before vista) that not only works on XP, but outperforms it's legit VISTA counterpart by far?

    Deciding on an AGP card, please reply QUICK!

    They all support OpenGL 2.0 plus various extensions to that. But I'd get the XFX one, my roommate has it, the dual DVI is handy.
