03:08.41 | spldart | Ok... Wow... 9800 GT kicks 3200 HD's butt bad. Very smooth and clean.. Now if I can figure why it's capping game refresh at 60 hz no matter |
03:09.14 | spldart | And must get plug adapter for new 1tb drive ;) |
03:09.36 | blast007 | did you tweak the vertical sync setting in the nVidia control panel under 3D settings? |
03:09.39 | blast007 | adapter? |
03:09.44 | spldart | btw.. storms here. lotsa of disconnects |
03:09.44 | blast007 | for power? |
03:10.10 | spldart | power for sata drive.. I had two on the new PSU and their used already |
03:10.20 | spldart | so I'm gonna go by fry's tomorrow |
03:10.22 | blast007 | wow, only two? |
03:10.28 | spldart | yeah |
03:10.33 | spldart | I'm in transition you know |
03:10.36 | spldart | part ide |
03:10.42 | spldart | part sata |
03:10.51 | blast007 | I think I have at 4 to 8 on my PSU ;) |
03:10.52 | spldart | meh.. pata/sata |
03:11.19 | JeffM | spldart: are you using HDMI? |
03:11.36 | spldart | Get 4 to 8 sata? how many pata? |
03:11.39 | spldart | Yep... still hdmi |
03:11.47 | JeffM | that's probably what is capping you |
03:11.49 | spldart | nvidia does it much better than the 3200 hd |
03:11.52 | spldart | ok |
03:12.13 | spldart | Well.. I've got lower frame rate but obviously much smoother game play |
03:12.30 | JeffM | is it a 120hz TV? |
03:12.41 | spldart | no jerking periodically even though uncapped the 3200 hd occastionally went to 100+ |
03:12.57 | spldart | Dunno.. it's a KDL40w2500 iirc |
03:13.06 | JeffM | how old is it? |
03:13.11 | spldart | 2 |
03:13.14 | spldart | y/o |
03:13.17 | JeffM | then it's a 60hz |
03:13.17 | spldart | almost |
03:13.25 | JeffM | it can't display more then 60 fps no mater what you do |
03:13.31 | spldart | ic |
03:14.03 | spldart | well... something is better.. because ati would vary from 50 to 115 or more.. But sometimes got jerky |
03:14.14 | spldart | nvidia sits at 60 but looks glass smooth] |
03:14.22 | JeffM | yeah cus it can handle it |
03:14.29 | spldart | shweeet |
03:14.48 | blast007 | spldart: my PSU has 8 x SATA, 8 x Molex, 4 x PCI-E |
03:14.50 | spldart | I like that it has a huge HSF with heat pipes like my coolermaster |
03:15.00 | spldart | meh |
03:15.07 | blast007 | though I paid more than you did |
03:15.12 | spldart | Your cooking with jet fuel... I'm on a coleman |
03:15.17 | spldart | Yeah.. only 80 here |
03:15.19 | spldart | bux |
03:15.32 | JeffM | well yeah, you have a phenom 1 ;) |
03:15.43 | spldart | Phenom 1 SE |
03:15.48 | spldart | muwaaaahhahaah |
03:15.49 | blast007 | oh, yeah.. then you could have gotten a lot better one for just a little bit more |
03:15.53 | JeffM | SE == "not busted" |
03:16.04 | spldart | Exactly... |
03:16.05 | blast007 | I spent $129, but you can get the one I have now for $110 after $10 rebate |
03:16.17 | spldart | I'm not the 'new hotness' but I'm not 'old and busted' |
03:16.22 | JeffM | it's not special when the change was to make it work like it was suposed to |
03:16.37 | spldart | I didn't spend that much 8-0 |
03:17.04 | spldart | fixed = fixed.. tought to argue with success... even if it took too tries. done |
03:17.58 | spldart | This rig has now finally hit 500 bux new.. Not bad considering 1.6 tb, quad 4 2.7 ghz, 4 gig ram, 9800 gt, case, psu, coolermaster v8, etc etc etc |
03:18.45 | spldart | Anywho... I'm getting to satisfactory gaming rig territory. |
03:18.57 | spldart | And more than adequate for BZFlag ;) |
03:19.13 | spldart | Just remember where I came from 8-0 |
03:19.46 | spldart | Dual K7 bartons on a 9800 Pro. Way back in the day. |
03:20.28 | blast007 | I'm going to be replacing my mom's 800MHz PIII with parts from my old system ;) |
03:20.29 | spldart | Gah... That rig was over 1 grand $ |
03:21.03 | spldart | I love that part blast... where the old good stuff distributes to the rest of the lowly machines |
03:21.05 | blast007 | she'll have an C2D 1.86GHz with a nVidia 7900GTO instead of the PIII w/ 5200 |
03:21.39 | blast007 | oh, and at least 2GB of RAM instead of 384MB ;D |
03:21.58 | blast007 | I might buy faster RAM for my system and then toss in 4GB instead |
03:22.04 | spldart | I still remember when I thought I was shiznizzle with a pentium overdrive 83 mhz in my 486 rig |
03:22.07 | spldart | wow |
03:22.27 | blast007 | heh |
03:22.49 | blast007 | my first machine was a 4MHz 8086, and then we went from that to a 133MHz Pentium |
03:23.00 | blast007 | just a *slight* upgrade there :P |
03:23.04 | spldart | My first machine was a TRS-80 model 1 |
03:23.12 | blast007 | or mabe it was 8MHz, I always forget |
03:23.18 | spldart | I can't remeember if that was a 100mhz or less |
03:23.31 | spldart | 1mhz |
03:23.36 | spldart | 1000khz |
03:23.55 | spldart | meh.. dunno.. but 4k in memory |
03:24.10 | spldart | upgradable to 8 or 16k... iirc |
03:24.34 | blast007 | "My first computer was so old, you had to push it up hill both ways just to make it read the floppy!" |
03:24.47 | spldart | floppy? |
03:24.50 | spldart | that's new tech |
03:24.56 | blast007 | hehe |
03:25.01 | spldart | I had cassette drive on my first 3 pc's |
03:25.18 | blast007 | "Hold on, I'm punching a new card" |
03:25.39 | spldart | Look... I'm a trs-80..... * ** * ** ** * ** ** * * ** |
03:26.14 | JeffM | tries to figure out how to get 1080p to his new TV |
03:26.18 | spldart | My grandma did some punchcard work... I was a kid and thought it was kewl watching the cards fly thourhg the wheels |
03:27.48 | spldart | meh..... I'm already missing my hdmi digital audio |
03:27.49 | spldart | grrr |
03:27.54 | spldart | I got a plan though |
03:28.10 | Think_Differentl | what card did you end up getting, spldart? |
03:28.31 | spldart | video? 9800 gt |
03:28.37 | Think_Differentl | oh |
03:28.40 | spldart | from gigabyte... to match the mobo |
03:28.47 | Think_Differentl | they don't have hdmi audio? |
03:28.55 | spldart | apparently not |
03:29.14 | Think_Differentl | hmm, I know the 3xxx and 4xxx series from ATI can do it |
03:29.23 | Think_Differentl | I thought the nVidia cards could too. |
03:29.39 | spldart | I'll research it more tomorrow... I had to download a special driver from invidia just to get it to work cuz win 7 rejects vista drivers |
03:30.11 | Think_Differentl | spldart, http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1030374 |
03:30.18 | spldart | they have special builds for win 7 beta |
03:30.21 | Think_Differentl | apparently you hve to use a cable to connect it to the sound card inside |
03:30.29 | JeffM | weak |
03:31.55 | spldart | Ah... I got both connectors |
03:34.48 | spldart | I'll be busy tomorrow after work... multiple connectors and adapters |
03:35.46 | Think_Differentl | ooo, the 4770 is coming out soon |
03:37.16 | Think_Differentl | GDDR5 on a card that costs about $100...not bad. seems like it could overclock well. |
03:39.20 | spldart | ooOOooo... overclocking |

22:53.13 | blast007 | spldart: think I read they're supposed to have a release candidate out by late May |
22:53.47 | spldart | Release candidate? What are the terms on that? |
22:54.01 | blast007 | actually I guess early may |
22:54.09 | blast007 | same kind of thing as the beta |
22:54.14 | spldart | goes to reseaarch... in safe mode. |
22:54.19 | spldart | hehe |
