Yup, probably. Just tried Age of Chivalry, with all the eye candy on(im in a clan) and it never went below 50FPS. havent tested it out in the more bugged maps that suck up most peoples framerate.

It indeed has 2 GPU cores, crossfire is onboard, 2 fans. and 4 exits. It has 2 cable's running up to the power supply. With 2 GB on video memory, loading textures takes about no time.. Im happy!

@ habboi, indeed! FSX here i come! Although note that this is my fathers computer in the photograph, i have a much more kickass joystick called the X-52.

The service always has been good at mycom, i buy a lot of stuff there. They have won serval consumer awards, and with reason.

I came there with the card and said i think something was wrong with it, the guy handling(whom turned out to be a old colleague!) put it in a computer, installed testing software and let it run. 75 memory errors and the test wasnt even finishd.

conclusion: broken.

So i said, send it to the factory and see what they can do with it? He said no, we dont do that, you get a replacement card with the same value as the original was when bought. So he checked the store supply, and showed me this one, he said it was the best one money could get right now, the Nvidia one would have to get ordered. They kept the card and a copy of all the paperwork.

This kind of service is a reason i buy my stuff there, best thing is, i thought i had a 2 year warranty, turned out to be 3!

Satch, i think you can get a pretty nice replacement card for the 9800 nowadays for not so much. Although it is a very good model, shame to see those go..

Very interesting, how do you find working with pixels? On a "put each one of them there myself" level?. Im working on a few addons for a transport simulator called simutrans(.com) and it has a .pak 96 in a comic style. I find it really interesting to design shapes on such a level, zooming in, placing them and then zooming out to see how it actually comes together(or not).

Are you using a dedicated editor, or some other tool?

Looks interesting! Great to see your back working on this again!

Yoda, i reckon i know a bit about modelling for Half-Life, offcourse, feel free to prove me wrong. make a object with about 50.000 polygons and a couple texture maps and see if you can do it.

Cheers mister terror!

Daub, indeed! believe it can!
Commented 15 years ago2009-05-17 04:46:45 UTC in journal: #5798 Comment #35150
Jeff, with that i meant that i doubt the HL engine will be able to render such an amount of polygons.
Commented 15 years ago2009-05-16 17:28:20 UTC in journal: #5798 Comment #35149
Yoda, not much porting really, SMD export, compile and crash Half-Life! And yes it will receive more detail and a shiny paint coat.

You cant really learn everything in one summer, just get the basics down and learn the rest on the job, specific tasks require a certain knowledge you cant really prepare for. Manuals are there with a reason.

Jeff, that would crash HL into oblivion ^_^.

Glad your not going to push him to the edge of sanity.

TJB, i calculated the amount of tiles in at a defined part of the platform. it has 2480 tiles. Lovely. Next up, support beams.

Darkie, every say your playing the 5 fret on the low E, then that is the same as the A string on 0(tab wise) every fith fret you can move one string higher, same go's the other way around.

Actually a pretty smart technique of satch, since kids absorb about anything in there younger years.

But Satch, also give your child the chance to run around, fall out of tree's, all the stuff you do as kid.

This reminds me of a few frasier episodes, i wonder if that is good or bad.

@Habboi, interesting, was that the given assignment or the concept your team came up with?

@Spag, yeah i should, il put up a few more renders when i have more tree's to work with.

@Blitz.. Why?^_^

Good luck PB. Now make it so that TWHL has its own botnet we can use for compiling.

I doubt any good can come out off it if a doctor is working and lacking sleep. I have been told that after 24 hours without sleep the mind is in the same state as a drunk person. Although i cant confirm it as a fact.

NineTnine look for the STALKER alpha build, it has been freely released a few days ago, it showed what stalker really could have been.

Jeff, if he is the admin then you can see him as the Alpha and Omega of the website, thus it cant be hacked by him because it is his will.

How can something that go's on for infinity have a beginning and a end? If it keeps growing in one direction it means it go's smaller in the other one. Beyond any measurement we know.

Or outside the clipping distance?
Commented 15 years ago2009-03-05 18:53:12 UTC in journal: #5662 Comment #60214
Yeah, so we should just disregard physics and go with what the source engine tells us? And why are you suddenly so interested in our psychology? Studying something?

Then everything would be brightly lit. So whats your point?
Commented 15 years ago2009-03-05 18:38:45 UTC in journal: #5662 Comment #60212
Indeed, for no light would enter and thus nothing would be visible to the human eye. Any thing else a sensor could pick up? Are we carrying some sort of a divice that allows us to see X-rays?
Commented 15 years ago2009-03-05 18:20:02 UTC in journal: #5662 Comment #60211
Does it have a athmosphere or any possible lights? Windows? Anything, otherwise its going to be hard to tell what you see. I presume the width/height ratio remains the same whilst the corridor grows in all directions(XYZ).
