i never got what all the fuss with the glasses was about tbh...
there are very well designed glasses that arent bothersome at all...
FFS, how many people with eye sight issues wear glasses 18 hours a day? :D
btw, just saw this clip of water tesselation on GF100, looks pretty cool...

oh androfl :D :up:Quote:
thermonuclear meltdown!
its just an inconvenience so its win win really, like i wear my glasses while watching tv and a lot of other people i know do also its a pain wearing 2 glasses :)Quote:

There's only a 5870 Six. something to do with windows that we're not seeing 3+ screen CF setups.Quote:

I'm struggling to understand why support for six monitors is a counter to anything.Quote:

Resolution 1920*1200 ideally with at least 4XFSAA too, however I can compromise the FSAA if performance is low.
High resolution textures look really nice, just they tend to choke the VRAM somewhat.

^good point, I have been struggling with Stalker too
It is annoying isn't it Bodkin
Without drifting too far off topic, I am willing to bet your Radeon 5870 is more than capable of handling Stalker... it just needs more VRAM!
I was quite excited when my News Letter said that the GF100 cards will come in 1.5GB and 3GB variants and a 6GB card (presuming dual GPU?) coming in Q3.
However those were all Quadro cards :down:
It looks like consumer based cards might max out at 1.5GB, (maybe 3GB if someone does a MARRS or some special edition like there were a few 2GB GTX 285's).
I would like to see the base model Fermi have more than 1GB and the top end have 3GB.
Not only is it useful for games, but OpenCL and CUDA applications love the extra VRAM too

15h left... :rolleyes:
good list there, i only wish to try them out, but my 512MB card is probably going to set fire if i did. 1GB on the 5870 felt like a slap in the face for those of us who expected to see a new age of textures. i for one do not like multi gpu setups, (too risky for perf increases) i also will not get anything less than 2GB, ive had 512MB since 2007. and weve had 5870s for how many months now? and not one of them has 2GB, such a waste. im almost wondering if third party vendors were not allowed to up the ram so they wouldnt compete with 5870-six or a 5890 if it will come out.Quote:

I agree on the multi-gpu setups. Anyways, Saaya posted this review a while back which has the 4870 512 vs 1gb and the 285 1GB vs 2GB and the Asus Mars. It also has the cinematic mod 9.51 as well as FO3 with NMC's high res textures.Quote:

if the glasses are designed well they will just sit over your regular glasses... idk... i dont wear glasses, so i dont know how annoying it is... :shrug:Quote:
