x1900XTX :wave: powercolor - lifetime warranty

i get a little over 8ooo 3dmark 05 score and 10100ish in dads 3700+ with inferior parts

will have to organise a time when convenient to have a geek meet :devil: we can have a game of css and a bench witha a coffee :wave:

yerp....lan is still going forward when everyones not busy :D

edit/ we're gunna have to group u pentium users on the one side of the room to know who to team up on though :laugh:

lmao....

I'm still AMD at the moment.

My little linux box is dead, so I'll need to get another one together. Most likely upgrade and use the current madaz p4 4.05ghz killer (AMD xp3200+) as the linux box/game server box. hehe :sick:

  • 2 weeks later...

yeah not wrong but it will be sum till till we see that king of quality in a game but its fun to watch all the fanbois say OMG OMG OMG i want one and get disapointed when cod2 looks the same and nore more texture detail in need for speed carbon

**EDIT**

watched this trailer today right click save as hope it works Save As its for Bio Shock

And I thought PS3 would be next gen hardware. Shows how much they say "Itll never get any better than this" it always does. PC will always be better than a PS or an XBOX no matter what they do to make the console as cheap but with more power. only thing is its easier to take ur ps3 or xbox360 to a mates house to play pro evolution soccer than it is to take ur whole pc whilst being extremely careful then spedning 5 hours setting up LAN connections and firewalls and shit and then playing games and transfering files across the network which u cant do at the same time.... Go the multitap.

im guessing they use some sort of physical mapping system by using some sort of electric suit wired up to read every single line of her face and body, like they do in games but here more detailed, then they compute the geometry in far more detail to smooth it all out, then apply textures then render it then tahts it. that easy but all the much harder. EDIT: Thats on a G80? fark me that things going places, but without a core2duo extreme any system currently will be a bottleneck. I got a 7950GX2 and it looks like ill be selling it early.

Ps3 technology is old nowdays...

It is easier to move the console, but when can u get 2+ mates to hook it up and lan games or over the net? I regularly pack my pc to take with me over the weekends (which i un pack too) so say 2 times a week EVERY week. Its not hard at all, or time consuming. I had a mate come over for a lan, which took all of 3 mins to get setup...

I meant like 5-6 computers, all coming from either home or from their own businesses with their own Dynamic IP ranges set up and all that shit, they want to be able to keep those settings to plug straight back home and then keep doing their work or whatever. Thats when it gets time consuming. I have done a LAN transfer files/ playing games thing only once with my computer, the hardware superceeded all theirs and this was around a month ago, my computer had a ping of around 120 the whole time playing and it had nothing to do with the router, yet on my network at home its fine. No one can tell me a Core2Duo E6800, 2 gigs of DDR2800, with a 7950GX2 running on a totally fine gigabit ethernet controller on the motherboard could be so slow. someones settings was screwing me up and we couldnt work it out, so i just said screw it and let my machine go.

Oh and on the ps3 note, Id say the technology is well developed, but dont get it wrong the product is unrealeased and the technology is untested. Therefore the technology is "new". :happy:

Latency not the same as bandwidth.

Your issue would have been a hardware driver, combination or setup issue.

Sometimes having the latest and greatest hardware is not such a good thing.

A good old 10mbs lan will yield a 0-1ms ping so I'd say your issue is else where other than you owning a fast new computer.

Did you check/swap your patch cable?

Computers suck at times. ;)

yeh patch cable was all good, drivers all latest, (so far as i could tell the only ones for some harware at the time!) and settings matches etc. it was probably a driver issue or a hardware incompatability/ interference issue but its been sorted out since, an updated marvel-yukon gigabit driver was realsed for my chipset and it all worked fine after that. the latest and greatest hardware might not be the most compatible with other things true but its damn quick, efficient and the games and applications i run look mighty fine on my 22in WS monitor running at 1690x1050.

yes computers do suck at times, i use them, fix them, monitor them, replace them, configure them, break them everyday in my job.

    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
    • I'm a bit confused by this post, so I'll address the bit I understand lol.  Use an air compressor and blow away the guide coat sanding residue. All the better if you have a moisture trap for your compressor. You'd want to do this a few times as you sand the area, you wouldn't for example sand the entire area till you think its perfect and then 'confirm' that is it by blowing away the guide coat residue.  Sand the area, blow away the guide coat residue, inspect the panel, back to sanding... rinse and repeat. 
    • The detail level is about right for the money they charge for the full kit... AU$21.00 each issue, 110 issues for a total of $2,300 (I mentioned $2.2K in the first post when the exchange rate was better). $20/week is doable... 馃槓
