I haven't had any driver problems with my ATI 9800 Pro. My system has been very stable and seems to look good to me, though it's a couple generations behind by now.
I've owned mostly Nvidia's up until now, and liked them too. I've read Boot magazine saying that the best bargains was one of the new NVidia's, a bit below their top end. |

Have to go the old DOOM wads (Doom II, Evilution, Plutonia) with the Doomsday Engine. Basically make the old game look great, not too GPU intensive.

Yes. It's got every mod imaginable, including jumping.
In the graphics department, balls of fire cast 3D rendered light onto onto walls as they move along, lamps glow, blood splatters according a 3D particle model (rockets are great), slime glows, etc. The graphics and textures are more detailed and smoother, sounds are in 3D. |

UPDATE: I started playing CS yesterday... I suck balls and it got boring real quick. I'll give HL2 a shot later.

once upon a time i invested in graphics card companies. so when the nVidia card the OP posted about hit the market yielding an unreal trillion triangles a second, i drove over to CompUsa and got one. even had them put it in, which is about the biggest waste of $10 ever.
on the drive home, i realized i no longer play video games and had nothing that could remotely demonstrate the thing. so i went back and got Far Cry. at the checkout counter, i was thinking about that semester i lost to Civilization: Call to Power and decide my life could not afford another addiction, so i put Far Cry back and went home empty-handed. still have no clue how good the card is. BUT, i am now thinking about getting a 4-chip commercial board with 4 or 8 gigs of memory for database crunching. if i get that i have to get Far Cry, because with the 256meg GeForce4 i would have the best private gaming system in Raleigh. i will miss my wife. |
