to me this is a nice increase to something I wasn't seeing before with the TI4600 with even a overclock of
core:305 (that's as high as I could go)
memory: 720
I think it had alot to do with the TI4600 being modded by the previous owner.
and my 9600XT is not modded or overclocked
Same question as Rabbit..... Is the "game play" that much better then say my system with a 3200 xt & 9800 pro? I would think it should be given your scores are double of what I get.
i can't really tell if the picture quality is that much better, but you can run at a higher res and still have the games playable. I didn't get to test too much since I just got the card yesterday.
i have the X800 pro and OCed i can get 11000 out of it, and plan to go further. the thing is that you have to worrys with the good card. you think UT2004, yup 6 x AA and 16 x AF no problems, runs just as smoothly. that is what i like. ive never tryed a 9800 series card but id imagine that it isnt altogether that smooth at those specs.
All this talk of higher resolution..has me baffled( I know what this is by the way).
I mean.., i play everything literally at 1024 X 768 and evrything is very clear and very good resolution. Any sharper of a picture and I am not sure I could tell any real world diffence and maybe only in a small fraction of games.maybe..
The speed issue is what makes more sense to me..overall..and I would imagine that some up and coming futre games and knowing that they are just pushing the envelope as much as they can...you would be able to really see these cards in all their glory...
Also, I would recommend that the users of these cards.have plenty of system ram ,power supply wattage,a high end CPU, and a fast HD ..to be able to see what it is trully meant to display...

i can tell a big difference even between 1024x768 and 1152x864.
Like I said ..previously, i am going to try and play some of my usual in a higher resolution for once to see what my current card does and does not do..which would give me an indication of what this is trully all about.
I do not doubt your own eyes .....maybe I am passive..bujt not so..as I am like most all of you ,in athqat I want the best I can get....but then for me..it gets good enough and I leave well enoguh alone...
The difference above 800X600 and the better or higher resolutions is a big jump....the thing with 800X600 is that most anything will run the fastest on this resolution and it looks basicly OK..but anything above that is just a whole lot better overall.
Most games will set the default at 800X600 as thats the happy medium..but with the newest cards out and the way the industry is moving.....this will be a thing of the past....
Another factor to consider is your Monitor. The refresh rate and what it is set to is also a player in the graphics and how they play out on screen.
I set mine to 85MHZ...now and it seems just fine,operates great and games play just fine with that.I would suggest 75MHZ for the best overall...
i thought, when v-xync is turned off the monitor refresh tīrate doesnt have an impact on performance.
75hz is a little low i think, i still see a little flicker on my crt. i need at least 80hz, 100hz or more is optimal (but my monitor already makes 100hz@1600x1200, but in windows i use 1800x1440@80hz, which is the highest recommended setting for my monitor).
