What are you jabbering on about now, the X800 or the X1600pro? Why do you post a thread entitled "X800 voltage" and then go on to enquire as to the voltage of the X1600pro?

You do realise that the time you've spent posting inane questions here you could have bloody well built at least 3 decent rigs!

For some reason I've come to the conclusion that you don't have a bloody clue!

I have read that the X800 series is faster then the X1600. The X1600 only has 12 pipes compared to the 16 Pipes of the X800's.

Res Surection....This is just plain silly. Why don't you go online Google all the information you need. Then just make a decision! This is what most of us do.

Quite frankly we get tired of all these questions that you can figure out yourself...

the x800 and x850 are the TOP end of the xX00 range (with x300 being the low, and x600 being the mid)

the x1600 is the LOW end (the x600 equivelant) of the x1800/x1900

the x1600 performs about the same as an x800 (my x1600 AGP scored 20 lower in 3D mark, than my m8s x850 PCI-E)

the x10k range have all the latest Technologies, such as Shader 3.0, and stuff...

I hope that answers that...

Oh, and Ideally ANY Radeon past the x600 requires ATLEAST a 350 watt power supply, Depending what else you have in the machine (350 watt is based on single media drive (DVD rom/writer) and single Hard Drive)

IF you have 2x Hard Drives, and 2x other drives, and then maybe 3 extra case Fans, and maybe even a Light in your case, i'd reccomend a minimum of 500 watt..

Not to be mean or anything but the sheer number of technical help posts you've made Res, and clearly you're unsure of a lot of things it might be more beneficial to browse the hardware dedicated sites, such as www.tomshardware.com or www.techreport.com - they also have forums which are dedicated to all hardware questions and issues.. for example the TR one at http://techreport.com/forums/ & also Tom's hardware graphics card roundup/comparison - http://www.tomshardware.com/site/vgacharts/index.html

http://www.experts-exchange.com/ Experts' Exchange is also a superb help centre and info source for all things hardware related.

I'm not sure the GWG Tech Corner is cut out for this level and intensity of questioning

1600x1200, all high, Full anti aliasing, I have been up to 75 FPS...

it varies tho, depending how wide area your looking at, how many other people's characters are in view, etc...

Its been as low as 15 fps, (not for long tho)

Also another site I used to visit a lot - good old Overclockers at http://www.overclockers.com/ again they also have a good hardware forum (including threads on which graphics cards etc)

You'll find all these sites are dedicated to hardware, and as a result the forum posters are mostly talking about hardware/issues etc. Probably a good idea to at least look through them.

Important edit: Overclockers.com is geared to the overclocker enthusiasts (obviously) but for the love of God please don't try to do things like overclocking or volt mods or anything else you might encounter over there; you'll break something I'm sure, wait until you know how things all work inside out and you fully understand how everything works. For now, just stick to the regular stuff.. what to buy/how fast it runs etc.

:/ I really dont like OverClockers -- You know they got Sued by Microsoft a couple of years back?? cause they were loading 'illegal' copies of XP onto thier new machines, and sending them out loaded up.... as-well as various other things...

I have never liked them, I have ALWAYS been able to find the exact components cheaper elsewhere, and when ever I DID try them, they got the product wrong (they sent out the wrong (OLDER) model) and when I tried to return it, thier customer service was virtually none existant.

Ghozer you're mistaking Overclockers.co.uk (I presume) the store with Overclockers.com - the latter is a community of hardware nuts and don't sell anything. Their forums are excellent sources of info, and I used to go there a lot back when I had a nifty watercooling rig

At least try and act friendly.

You just wanna act all RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOy and treat us like crap, why can't you GOOGLE? It's what it's for, most your Questions could've been answered if you just read reviews and see the specs on everything!

NO! Don't you have any sense of decency? Don't send him/her/it over to OcUK! I don't think I could handle the same crap in two different places!

hi Dood

did you ever play pong when it first came out (it was amazing at the time)?

also more to the point did you ever play the first version of whack a mole?

i might even in desperation put up a link to *im a cow* and see who has sore ribs from laughing

Loviatar...Good morning...

Yes I did play PONG. At the Bar actually. I wish I had all those Quarters back. I was Awesome at it in those days. You had to catch the "ball" with the corner of your paddle to get a wicked spin on the return shot.

Those were the days...

Yeah but the thing is all the split-sides of his personality are severly annoying and questioning. ;\

This is very true and for GW won't be an issue. If your in to First Person Shooter you want as high as you can get. Not an issue with the human eye but accuracty of where all the other people trying to shoot you are when you aim.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. He's talking about games like Quake etc. where hardcore/competition players may find it advantageous having ultra high framerates - nothing to do with your eyes, but more to do with game mechanics/times/reactions.

And now to confuse you by posting a picture of an old watercooled rig of mine



If you look closely you can see blue tubes, which actually contain water! And there's a radiator on top. Yes indeedy, it is a car. It even has a weird mouse which is turned inside out and upside down, like some kind of alien mouse. Now up to you to figure out how it works

as an extreme example.

player a has 250 frames per second meaning if you both come face to face player a has (everything else equal) a maximum delay of 1/259 of a second before he sees you

player b has a frame rate of 1 frame per second.

if player b has just had a frame drawn just before player a comes into view player b might have almost a full second to wait before player a is seen in the next frame.

in that second player a has seen you, killed you, and run off

I <3 my Alienware Area51 7700m. Heck I'm typing on it right now at work.

I guess it must be like when BMW drivers <3 their BMWs.

Bottom line, it's your own choice what you buy, and it's up to the discretion of other what they buy for themselves.
