Games & Programming / Re: Proof AA Sucks (maybe more than you think)
« on: Tuesday, May 18, 2010, 21:53:26 PM »
AA is dead for me now. Just got done playing about an hour of Pipeline and had some problems. I played on the pick your gun server (or maybe one of many?), and everyone was whoring the RPK and SF while I used the M16. Objectives were turned off. I was told that "killing is the objective" and sarcastically replied "well aren't you a realist". They didn't like that :\ After an admin killed his teammate and his score was brought down to like -400 or so, he reset the scoreboard so that it wouldn't go toward his tracker, presumably.

What happened to playing for the experience and enjoyment of playing?

*EDIT*
To clarify, one of the admins even understood my comment about the other admin and said something about how the military has set objectives before they go in and kill everyone (this guy must have went to Harvard). Then, he said that he didn't understand how that was relevant.

You could just download massive hacks and go to servers you don't like and then just rape it repeatedly. Maybe you'll teach them something.
:D :D The UN server has been hacked numerous times. They are used to it.

You played on the UN server? Seems like someone didn't get the memo.  :-\ Do you wonder why most of the decent people on AA do not play on pick your own gun servers? The admins are idiots and the servers suck even worse. Most people just steer away from them.

Bottom line, don't play on modded servers and you can have some fun.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what to think about that. The GTX is the older chip but it has more RAM. Glad it was successful and it's nice to see EVGA goes the equivalent or better route.

Yeah. The real pain is that I had to go out and buy another SATA cable because the GTX is about an inch thicker than the GTS and my old cable didn't reach. $10 for a fucking cable. I feel ripped off.

I played BC2 and it actually seemed to run better than on my old card.

Wish you would have posted before you bought it, I would have sent you one for shipping cost :(

Note on EVGA's RMA. Its amazing. Ive RMA'd 3 cards to them (all my fault) and gotten the the same model as I sent back in 2 weeks. I will only buy EVGA graphics cards for this reason. Guess I'm a bit of a fan boy with them :D
I know what you mean, their customer service is outstanding. I will always buy EVGA for my graphics cards. That is of course if I stick with Nvidia, ATI has been making some great cards at great prices.

Someone told me that he RMA'd an 8800GTX and they sent him a GTX260  :o

Juts received my RMA from EVGA and got an 8800GTX in return for my 8800GTS 512. A little bit of an upgrade but not much. I'm just happy that I can finally play my games again.  ;D

could someone, (either here or in a new topic) explain to me in idiots terms what the graphic options i can change in games are, v-sync, preload player skins etc etc etc and explain to me the benefits and the bad parts... cos i have no idea, course i know what some is, anti ailsing makes curves more curvey, uhh, draw distance makes it draw stuff further away :)

or shall i continue to dwell in ignorance?

I thought Aussies were so smart? Now you are asking for an American's help? Imagine that.  :D

Anyways, Vsync just syncs the frame to make smoother gameplay Less shearing and tearing. Dynamic lighting makes light look more realistic. Decals enables weapon scaring. If you hover your mouse over it it sometimes gives you a brief explanation of what it is. I have no idea what projectors are though.  :-\

Well, it's not like she follows you everywhere, she's just in bits of the game, just enough n00dz to tease. Also, Killa, there's stuff on the FakeFactory forum about running the full version on 32-bit systems... maybe check it out?

I already was running the full thing on 32-bit.


I didn't get the LE, I got the full version. All I had to do was tell Vista to allow it to use 3gb or ram on a single program. But yeah, I'm thinking about changing it but you do not see characters all that often so I guess it is fine for now.

Literally 6 posts up counting this one.  :D

I gotta wait until Monday to play CM10 again. Also I think the model is a bit much. I mean the see-through shirt in CM10 was even stretch. All the character model will do is distract from the game. I do not play video games to watch porn.  :D

Valve's also porting Steam to OS X.

Already did. It supposedly came out today. Along with a free copy of Portal until May 24th.

Sorry Knight, I'm gonna have to disagree. If his GPU wasn't performing, he probably wouldn't even be able to open 3D applications. A question would be, do the other sensors work? Memory controller and all that? I just opened BFBC2 and set it's affinity to 2 cores and it had no affect on FPS. So, effectively using a 4GHz dual-core CPU, the bottleneck was still my graphics card (even overclocked). Keep in mind I <3 the highest settings and run at 1680x1050.

For RMA, I'm sure they'll have plenty of stock and if not, I believe the 9800GT is the same thing, just different firmware and stickers.

I hear the 9800GT preforms slightly worse than the 8800GTS 512 I could be wrong though. I don't know what I am going to do without a graphics card for a few weeks.  :'(   It's a done thing now, so it is back to whether I should get the processor or not.  :D

I've actually been considering RMAing it for a long time now. I'm just curious as to which card I am going to get. Since they no longer make the 8800 to my knowledge I will either get a 9800GT or a 9800GTX+ if they are feeling extra generous. At least I found out why the fan wasn't changing speeds automatically, the GPU wasn't giving and load info.
