Temps with my cards are pretty high as well, the x1900's idle at around late 50's to early 60's and can load upto 95c and thats with no overclocking. ed:

really? you don't need oc anyway with two x1900's in crossfire...bastard happy:

i'm gonna try to hold out a year or two to build another rig. DX10 crossfire and all that jazz.

even my current rig is not all that bad. still will play pretty much everything out there. plays lost coast pretty well also.

rolleyes: rolleyes:

Yea Nepotism is awesome. I doubt you make more than me, but hell you very well may, but I guess if I still lived with mommy and daddy under there roof, eating their food and using their utilities and ddin't have 1500 in bills a month I could buy fresh gear too.

Dude, you just don't ever stop do you? Its funny actually, I probably don't make more money then you do but I do pay for my own food, and that does get quite expensive after a while, probably my number one expense. People have more money then you do in this world, people have more money then everyone on the forum combined x 1000. Get over it, shit happens.

Dx 10 cards are due around the end of this year, r600 for ati and the g80 for nvidia.

One of the benefits of dx10 is reduced overhead

Basically so tihngs get done faster, theres an article on it here with slides from an ati presentation.

http://www.ukgamer.net/index.php4?actio ... 322&page=1

When the cards come available it seems ati will have the uppperhand, their card is going to have unified shaders which means that if the card has 64 pipelines they can be swapped around dynamicaly for geometry, pixel shading and texturing. So for example if a scene in a game uses a lot of texture horsepower and not much of the other 2 then more of the pipelines can basically become texturing pipelines to improve performance.

Cards today are limited to predefined pipeline numbers and they can't be dynamically altered. Ati already has done the r500 which is in the xbox 360 based on the unified pipeline design so when the r600 comes they'll already be a step ahead of nvidia.

gtboys34 · 07-30-2006, 02:02 AM

gerv it's rumored that the r600 is gonna be scrapped now that ati and amd merged. read it on toms the other day but of course it's only a rumor..

geRV · 07-30-2006, 10:08 PM

No way the r600 will be scraped, thats ati's next big thing. it'll probably have similar impact to the radeon 9700.

Here's a noob quesiton, but I wa slooking at my "Temp" folder under my documents and settings etc., and its got 1.36 gb of mostly bs (from what ive looked at, old scaned pictures and other random files etc) and I'm wondering if i can just Select All>Delete or that wouldn't be good for my computer?
