How many people...
« on: December 31, 2002 08:20 am CST »
Use Software rendering instead of OpenGL/Glide?

Well, I'm currently one of those people, but not for long...

So long 1998 Matrox Marvel G200, hello ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 8500!

It comes in today, which officially makes me better than over half of you.

Suck on my GeForce3 biiotch lol.  When I get a credit card I think I'll buy me one of those 4th generation nVidia cards that will blow away Radeon.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Darwin, the Radeon 9700 Pro is the fastest card out there currently.

Yawn, since when did Radeon suck? Since last year, and that was because of malarkeyty drivers.  But now, it's one kick ass product and beats the hell out of a GF4 Ti4600.  Scary to think of it when it's overclocked to 400 core / 800 memory :).

Gotta love SBC with their 6Mbps tier for 45$
(Yes, on their site it only shows 3Mbps, but it is actually 6Mbps, I would know :)).

Yes Crash, I know that the ATI radeon 9700 pro is the fastest card, but its also the most expensive pro-sumer card out there.  Plus I installed an ATI all-in-wonder PCI card last year, and it forked up the visuals on my computer.  Never going back to ATI.  Gooooo nVidia!  

Cant wait for their FX line.

A pro-consumer product.  Such as a $900 digital camera.  It is like the highest quality that the consumer would get.  Now a professional's digital camera would range from $1500 and up.  See?  Pro-Sumer.
