Ezekiel Sulastin Gallente Eve University	Posted - 2007.10.08 15:20:00 - [31] CCP perfectly strikes unupgradeable laptop video card, wrecking for OVER 9000! ... Wait, according to NVIDIA, my laptop's Quadro FX Go1400 supports Shader Model 3.0 ... because it's essentially a modded Go 6800, optimized for CAD/other fun nongaming 3d stuff ... Yay, I CAN use the graphics upgrade \o/
StuckAtTheLock	Posted - 2007.10.08 15:23:00 - [32] God damnit, the one update that I'm looking forward to and my grandpa x800xl won't run it. Nevermind that I've been playing crysis, eve is too much for it.
Blind Man Angel Deep Corporation	Posted - 2007.10.08 15:27:00 - [33] Originally by: Asestorian Originally by: Kelron Queldine The X800 range does not support SM3.0. Confirmed. which really sucks, my X850XT PE is a great card and still runs most games fine at 1680x1050.. well I've learned my lesson for the next comp - never ever buy the highest end stuff

Bimjo Caldari SKULLDOGS	Posted - 2007.10.08 15:32:00 - [35] Originally by: MotherMoon which is why there is no real DX 10 game yet "bioshock" and "world in conflict" are not souped up DX9 games, they were also written for DX10 Originally by: MotherMoon their are no DX10 graphics cards, lol. so Nvidia lied to me about the 8800GTX ?

CCP Explorer	Posted - 2007.10.08 15:45:00 - [36] Originally by: Sleepkevert THIS is nice, but pretty please give us the ability to pause the download. I'd hate to PvP with lag from an background download i can't stop There will be an option to pause and resume the download. Erlendur S. Thorsteinsson Software Director EVE Online, CCP Games

Aramendel Amarr North Face Force	Posted - 2007.10.08 16:00:00 - [37] Originally by: CCP Wrangler Originally by: Wild Rho But all 3 will still be viable to use? As I understand it, yes. So the general relations between the models will not change? Asking this because in the ambulation video you saw at the end yourself undocking from a rather huge spacestation which looked a good deal bigger than the current ones. Which would also be immersionwise a bit better since you see quite regulary masses of ships undocking out of the current stations which seem just way too small to hold all of them.

benzss Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.10.08 16:54:00 - [39] i don't suppose the native linux client will be out in november? :\ also, looks like it's time to get a new graphics card
Kai Lae Gallente Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.10.08 17:04:00 - [40] Crapola got a x850 myself. Looks like upgrade time. It's been years since I've actually paid attention to video cards. Could someone suggest one? It would have to support dual screen. Cost is not much of an object, assuming the price is actually buying something useful.
Kelron Queldine Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.10.08 17:17:00 - [41] Originally by: Kai Lae Crapola got a x850 myself. Looks like upgrade time. It's been years since I've actually paid attention to video cards. Could someone suggest one? It would have to support dual screen. Cost is not much of an object, assuming the price is actually buying something useful. The X1950 Pro is a great DX9 card. If you want something supporting DX10, it's not really worth going for anything lower than an 8800GTS - the 8600 cards aren't bad, but the X1950 is in the same price range and offers better performance, minus DX10 support. --------------------------- Signatures are for the weak.
Cagot Gallente Arcanus	Posted - 2007.10.08 17:33:00 - [42] Yay! The NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra on my Dell XPS laptop theoretically supports Shader 3.
Ealiom Infinitus Morti R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.08 17:51:00 - [43] Any word on how the client performs when there are multiple versions running at once? I am just worried that having 5 accounts will become a waste as i wont be able to run more than one at once. Im not worried about the spec of my machine thats fine. Im worried about potential clashes between these clients making constant DX calls. ModelsBlackbird Executioner

Which is the same as classic but with bigger boobs. 1. Real geeks use Linux 2. Semi-real geeks use XP/NT. The only people who use Vista are people whose stock built PC they bought came with Vista on it and they don't know how to remove it. - TQ has encountered a database issue, we are sitting around wondering why it has crashed this time, waiting for 500,000 petitions and watching the forums fill up.

Real geeks also know that SLI is a marketing gimick designed to seperate the fool from his wealth. A single overclocked $250 video card can give you as good performance since all you need is 60FPS on an LCD plus in 2 years you can upgrade for another $250 and get the same performance or better + new technology such as SM's and DX's for 1/2 the cost of yoru friend who spent $1000+ on his SLI setup :P

Though, a more correct statement would be "The only people who use Vista are people whose stock built PC they bought came with Vista on it and they don't know how awful it really is."

Single overclocked 8800GTS here (640MB one ) SLI is nice but not worth the cost, especially as it only works in some games. - TQ has encountered a database issue, we are sitting around wondering why it has crashed this time, waiting for 500,000 petitions and watching the forums fill up.

I can tell from some of the modules and from seeing quite a few traps in my time...
Steneskoj Minmatar Intercommercial Aerospace Retail United Stations	Posted - 2007.10.08 18:58:00 - [52] Uhm, not that I have much of a clue when it comes to this sort of thing, but isn't Vista the only OS you can run DX10 under?

TerrorWOLF PURE Legion Pure.	Posted - 2007.10.08 19:08:00 - [54] Good thing my ATI 9800PRO died 2 months a go and i was forced to buy a new card 7600GS May Your Death Be Slow And Painful
gooer	Posted - 2007.10.08 19:08:00 - [55] Originally by: MotherMoon where did people get DX 10 into their heads in the first place? all of the screen shots have been DX9, and I've never been confused. Have you SEEEN DX10? it blows what the graphics update is doing out of the sky. which is why there is no real DX 10 game yet, their are no DX10 graphics cards, lol. hopefully they are coming soon with the newer motherboards finally saying they will support DX10, can't wait to upgrade. wow, necro information.. directx 10 cards have been out for a while.. Heard of the 8000 series nvidia cards? I'm running bioshock in DX10 - it's beautiful. I just beat the game in DX9 mode then went out and got an 8800gtx. I'm having fun playing the game through again. and oh.. Crysis is coming soon! WOOHOO! i know.. i know.. there are other dx10 games, too.. lost planet, world in conflict, call of juarez, ms flight simulator x, etc, etc.. dig your head out of the asteroid for a bit and get caught up...

I tried an 8600gt and was not impressed.. luckily, i wasn't the purchaser. as far back as I can remember, i purchased a radeon 9700 pro, then I went with a 7900gt and was able to play with most of the eye candy on.. now i'm at an 8800gtx and can play with all the eye candy on at 1680x1050. If you really want full res of 2650Xwhatever and want full eye candy, you'll need sli... or if you're one of those nutcases who wants that much resolution on 3 monitors for periferal vision, you'll need sli and to turn off most of the eye candy.

XP never ran this fast on identical hardware. I'll admit, the first 6 months of vista were a pain in the ass.. beta raid drivers, nvidia drivers continually got worse (until this latest beta release, good job, nvidia). it took me a bit to get the raid drivers going. Since then, windows has released 5 or 6 compatibility updates, and I no longer have any issues. I used to have random crashes in battlefield 2142 and quake wars. i did a reload and put in latest drivers for everything. seems the 3rd party vendors finally caught up to microsoft and I have a great pc now. who here runs 40 - 60fps in 200-man fleet battles? me.. edit: oh man.. i need to stop posting and get back to work.. sorry for the multiple posts.

Which is the same as classic but with bigger boobs. For the record "real geeks" won't touch Vista with a 10 foot pole. The only people buying vista are the people who get it with their computer (and perhaps don't know any better) and people with compensation issues that think newer/more expensive is better. ----------- Support fixing the EVE UI
F2C MaDMaXX The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.10.08 20:11:00 - [59] Don't worry if your graphics card doesn't do the specific shader model 3 (x800's etc.) You will still be able to use the new version of eve, but the full effects will not be seen like on the SM3.0 cards. You will see the new models, the new effects, just not all of them. ______________________________________ Natural Selection Developer Sound FX
