I've only installed it and not had a chance to play it, tonight should be the night I get to see what it's about.
Well, how is it? |

Hey Paddy, are you going to make a review about the PhysX card for the forums user review section?
I would love to hear your review, Paddy. I am debating whether I want to get one now or wait a while. |

DSL vs Cable. Well, I used to use cable at my old house because it was a lot faster than the DSL available to me. I was on a 5Mbps cable, and DSL was less than 1Mbps. When I moved to the new house I tried the cable service, but had many, many connection issues. I switched to DSL (the DSL actually ha... |

I downloaded the demo and fired it up, but it would not give me any widescreen resolutions to choose from. How doid all of you get yours to work? Am I overlooking something?
I want to run it at 1920x1200. |

I would buy it for GRAW alone ... :mrgreen: :shock: :D :lol:
I second that.
And the next UT game will support it. What else do you need?! :D
And it's only money. Go ahead, spend it. We'll make more! :lol: |

The lack of mouse/keyboard support in games on the 360 is what is keeping me from buying it at this time. Although I may give in and get one for playing my sports games (the PS2 is getting a bit dated now.) |

I guess it requires SLI or crossfire to get a deacent detail level + a PPU (the developer indicated that SLI or Crossfire might be needed at http://www.ghostrecon.net)... Wow, if that was indeed the case if would definitely be hard-core...but it might just tempt me go out and get the xbox 360 inste... |

ATI Says It Can Do Physics Better Than AGEIA and NVIDIA Interesting... but wouldn't that take away from the use of the crossfire-enabled graphics? ie. Then you are only using one card for graphics and 1 card for physics. I would prefer 2 cards doing graphics and a seperate card for physics... so I ... |

If you look on BFG's site, they have the actual accelerator card. It states it's PCI 2.0.
Sweet, maybe I can find some way of getting it to fit in my rig. But I may have to use the onboard audio. |

I'm honestly dissapointed by Oblivion's graphics engine. It looks nice, but it's not as amazing as I thought it would be. Considering how crap the framerates are, I really don't recommend buying it for the PC unless you've got a dual 7900s or dual 1900s. Mouse-look and the mouse cursor also doesn't... |

I may be mistaken, but isn't the picture of the PPU a PCI-E card? If so, there is no way you can run crossfire or SLI with these...until boardmakers make a board with 3 dedicated full PCI-E interfaces. |

The 7900-series is new and most new Nvidia cards usually have a little performance issue until the first update after release. I am sure it will get better for you when the new driver comes out. |

I think they went overboard on making the Blackhawk gatlin guns too wimpy now. I agree they were too powerful before (just aim NEAR an infantry and it would take him down), but now you have to place about 10-15 bullets in a guy to take them out...that's just ridiculous. If you are going to make the ... |
