Guest ZDamage January 3, 2003 Share Guest ZDamage Guests January 3, 2003 AA is Anti-Aliasing. Smooths over "jaggies" . Older cards use a very ineffeciant method that kills performance and makes everything look blurry. AF is Antiscopic Filtering. It filters blurry surfaces like the ground and walls. Play Dust and watch the different layers of blurriness. AF cleans that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX January 3, 2003 Share NOFX Member January 3, 2003 i was wonderign what the AA and AF is also. I have an 1800+ AMD 768 DDR ECS-(Ali Magik), its one of the worst chipsets. I have an Asus with an Nforce2 chipset in the mail(should be here tomorrow). Geforce4Mx440 64 Meg. I am thinking about buying a vid card soon. I was looking at the radeon 9500pro with 8x agp, what u think? 40 gig WD, 20 gig WD 19 inch flat screen, not lcd. intellimouse explorer dvd drive, burner... and wireless connection that is somewhere around 4 Mbps. I usually run about 100 fps but when theres lots of colors I tend to drop and when there is alot of action. Im hoping the new mobo will fix it, but i guess it doesnt Ill have to get a new vid card.

I think your choice of the Radeon 9500pro is very good. Best thing to do right now is wait until the GeForce FX comes out (supposed to be in February) and which time the price of all of ATI's current stuff will drop. A radeon 9700pro may be affordable then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX January 4, 2003 Share NOFX Member January 4, 2003 good idea man thats what i will probably do. i just got my asus mobo and it is sweeett...i also bought a new cpu cooler Ther Overclocking ability on the mobo is like none other. I have at 1800+ which is supposed to be 1.53 but I jacked the bus up to 145 and Its running at 1.67 with no problems. My old mobo my cpu temp got up to 73C when i was playing cs sometimes. It now stays at 32 or so and over clocked it stays around 38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ZDamage January 6, 2003 Share Guest ZDamage Guests January 6, 2003 looks like a PIII which = p3 Then you should be able to toss in a faster CPU for a big performance increase. Not sure about your mobo but it sounds like a 450 is slow for a P3 even. Look and see if that sucker can be upped to a gig or so. You will see a huge increase without the need of getting a whole new system (for now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdman May 22, 2004 Share Birdman Member May 22, 2004 (edited) p4 3.06 w/ htradeon 9700 pro audigy platinum i'm debating on hd size 100+ dvd burner lcd monitor That would still be a sweet system. Sad to see that the fastest processor intel has out now is only a couple hundred MHz faster than what was available at the end of 2002. Seems like things have slowed a lil'. If 05 brings a lil speed and nothing but dual cores for both AMD and INtel I'm gonna be mad. I want speed. DOnt care about more cache and a faster FSB. Just more GHz.

All Kill3r May 22, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member May 22, 2004 DOnt care about more cache and a faster FSB. Just more GHz. thats why you have an amd barton right ? sounded weird coming from the birdman, are ya not feeling good today you have to agree though that intels 3.2/3.4's knock the socks off that old 3.06. I think 3.7ghz is coming but an architecture change and dual cores will prob drop the mhz down and start it all over again seriously, a beast of a cpu needs to come out soon to supply these new gpus with major powa ! was funny to look through this thread again and see the line between people's computers. It was a nice computer or a 400mhz cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mmmm]Homer May 22, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member May 22, 2004 AMD64's are limited by thes first gen chipsets - the K8T800 and the nforce3 150. They don't have working AGP/PCI locks. The nforce3 250 and K8T800 Pro that are just coming out now do have working AGP locks. There is a known wall that you will hit at around 223mhz FSB. I can run 220mhz myself, and did hit the wall at 223. The way you can get higher is to drop your multiplier and then bump your FSB higher (of course you need good RAM to do this, and a bit of voltage). The multiplier is locked at the top, but you can underclock it. Read more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
