Forum Graphic & Displays : Graphics Cards - 8800 GTX chocking on Rainbow 6 Vegas?? Buying xbox360
OMFG! Another damn console thread. You're whining about 1 crappy port? It goes both ways you know. Go ahead and buy that un-upgradable piece of hardware...

Yeah, these threads invariably lead to flaming.
Or you could by the Wii get some exercise
of course you fail to neglect OBLIVION! isn't that a port? or am i lost here? go ahead buy your 360 with ATI 48 shaderpipelines whilst the 8800GTX has 128.
and i laugh at you because i have an 8800GTS and your silly little console cant handle any DX10 games

I find the game to be very fun and it runs great on xbox360. Not sure what your talking about, all the shaders that kill preformance on the pc seem to look great on the 360. Read some of the mua formus, its been discussed in length.
Give mua some time, its like diablo2. Sure you can beat it one time but thats not the point of the game. It has a very high replay value and nothing beats co op. Noobie probably only lvl 18 anyways 
Hehe
Also play it with a gamepad, its very fun.
With software piracy at an alltime high (everyone has broadband now) game designers are catering towards consoles.
If your that annoyed by it give me your 8800gtx, and I'll find some good use for it. Someone told me that there was a game that the PS3 struggled to get 18fps in, but I cant remember which game. Regardless, it shows how hopeless consoles are, even for games that are designed for them. Anyone remember the PS3>PC thread...

Yes dont remind me.
BTW your cat pic is awsome! looks like he/she is smiling 
is that really your cat?
Nope, I found it on google. Your the first person to say anything positive about it. Most people (being about 2 people 
) say its stoned or something.
| Quote : Yeah, that cat pic IS awesome. I had to show my girl (fyi she liked it too). |
Yeah I just showed it to my wife and she was like 8O 8O 8O That cant be real!

I dont know if its real or not but it sure is a cool lookin cat. I would get attached to something like that in a damn hurry
You'd think the OP would at least come back and say something, rather than express his emotions to the world and then retire to his hole. Its bad (n)etiquette

I think he just wanted to start a flame war. With a topic that is talking about G80 and ends in "buygin xbox360" you can only be looking for one outcome.
But at least we have that happy-looking cat to put us all in a good mood (that + beer).

Which also equals PC hardware that breaks and has crap warranty (because what kind of hardware can you get for $300?). Plus, your console works ALL THE TIME except when it doesn't (e.g. massive numbers of PS2s that have bad drives, mine included, which is now a paper weight). Do you know ANYTHING about the PS3s overheating and blowing the frick up?
Plus, if you invest all your money in the PC, you will save time doing school work faster. This = better life = better job = better wife = more sex = your logic freaking sucks worse than this logic does.

Games don't ALWAYS work on consoles. I never use my XBOX any more because it takes 10 mins just to get a game to load properly and then it usually crashes. It's no better then having to constantly blow into an NES cartridge just to play a game. Most console gamers go through at least 2 of each console they own, so to say $500 is bogus. If you game any amount on them your almost garunteed needing to buy a second one before the next system is realeased, and even then you probably will still need another in order to play all those games you paid $60 a pop for and aren't compatable with the new system. And what do you get when you have to buy a console for the second? better graphics? faster? more features? NO, it's the same damn thing! Right now PS3 and to a much lesser extent 360 are on par with PC gaming (at least until next month -- DX 10!!!) but how about when you have to dole out another few hundred dollars to buy a replacement system because the optical drive burned out? If you invested that money into a new video card of the gaming computer thats as old as the console your replacing you'll get a huge boost. Then when you have to by the next-next Gen console what will it do for you're old games? Are PS2 games any better on PS3? I know my 8800 gave new life to every game I bought in the last 3 years. Console gaming is the minor leagues compared to PC gaming. Anybody who thinks anything else is a dope. I understand consoles are for people who for whatever reason are unable to game on a PC and that's great for them, but if you don't know the difference get a little education or shut up. BTW see you in 45 days when I'm gaming with DX10 on Vista making the PS3 look like a Super Nintendo.
Errr... I made this very same point in the retarded section... which means err... that it... must be true.

LOL, if I want to be restricted to 1280x720 without anisotropic filtering and antialiasing, then I'll get an Xbox360 or PS3.
Console fanbois dont even know wtf AA or AF is because they cant miss something they never had
My friend was bragging about his 360 so much that it became annoying to me so I had to hurt his feelings a little bit and show him what Oblivion looks like with 8XAA and 16AF after watching me play all he complains about now is how muddy the textures in his games are and how jagged everything is
Oblivion with my 8800GTX>My best friend David with his toy box.

Oblivion with my 8800GTX>My best friend David with his toy box.Speaking of that, I was considering jumping on the 8800 bandwagon this Christmas. Think it's worth it? I may end up waiting until the end of January to see what ATI's offering, but who knows. Also, how well does the 8800GTX overclock on air with the stock cooler?

I was also gonna hold out on the R600 but I got sick of waiting. The 8800GTX is an awsome card and its well worth it as it also breaths new life into your older games, things never looked so great with 16AA+MultiSampling The card handles AA with Ease and there is little diff in FPS when going from 4XAA to 16XAA 8)
The card overclockes good with the stock cooler, just turn up the fan speed using Ntune to 100% and watch your temps drop dramatically. I am overclocked to 630core and 2030mem using this method. I also have two 120mm silent scythe fans under neath my 8800GTX. Idle temps are 48c and load is only 56c and thats with the OC 8)
Man you should see COD2 with this card! Damn! That game is so clean now!
Here are some Oblivion pics taken from my system, I think photobucket.com resized them for whatever reason but pay attention to fraps in the upper left hand corner.
Oblivion maxed out 100% with in game sliders, 1280X1024, 8XAA 16XAF+HDR. Drivers set to High Quality in control panel.
As you can see this card is no joke, its really up to you if you want to hold off on the R600, I have no doubt that the card will be awsome and will most likely outperform the G80 in some games and the G80 will probably outperform the R600 in others.
