03:08.41spldartOk... 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
03:09.14spldartAnd must get plug adapter for new 1tb drive ;)
03:09.36blast007did you tweak the vertical sync setting in the nVidia control panel under 3D settings?
03:09.39blast007adapter?
03:09.44spldartbtw.. storms here. lotsa of disconnects
03:09.44blast007for power?
03:10.10spldartpower for sata drive.. I had two on the new PSU and their used already
03:10.20spldartso I'm gonna go by fry's tomorrow
03:10.22blast007wow, only two?
03:10.28spldartyeah
03:10.33spldartI'm in transition you know
03:10.36spldartpart ide
03:10.42spldartpart sata
03:10.51blast007I think I have at 4 to 8 on my PSU ;)
03:10.52spldartmeh.. pata/sata
03:11.19JeffMspldart: are you using HDMI?
03:11.36spldartGet 4 to 8 sata? how many pata?
03:11.39spldartYep... still hdmi
03:11.47JeffMthat's probably what is capping you
03:11.49spldartnvidia does it much better than the 3200 hd
03:11.52spldartok
03:12.13spldartWell.. I've got lower frame rate but obviously much smoother game play
03:12.30JeffMis it a 120hz TV?
03:12.41spldartno jerking periodically even though uncapped the 3200 hd occastionally went to 100+
03:12.57spldartDunno.. it's a KDL40w2500 iirc
03:13.06JeffMhow old is it?
03:13.11spldart2
03:13.14spldarty/o
03:13.17JeffMthen it's a 60hz
03:13.17spldartalmost
03:13.25JeffMit can't display more then 60 fps no mater what you do
03:13.31spldartic
03:14.03spldartwell... something is better.. because ati would vary from 50 to 115 or more.. But sometimes got jerky
03:14.14spldartnvidia sits at 60 but looks glass smooth]
03:14.22JeffMyeah cus it can handle it
03:14.29spldartshweeet
03:14.48blast007spldart: my PSU has 8 x SATA, 8 x Molex, 4 x PCI-E
03:14.50spldartI like that it has a huge HSF with heat pipes like my coolermaster
03:15.00spldartmeh
03:15.07blast007though I paid more than you did
03:15.12spldartYour cooking with jet fuel... I'm on a coleman
03:15.17spldartYeah.. only 80 here
03:15.19spldartbux
03:15.32JeffMwell yeah, you have a phenom 1 ;)
03:15.43spldartPhenom 1 SE
03:15.48spldartmuwaaaahhahaah
03:15.49blast007oh, yeah.. then you could have gotten a lot better one for just a little bit more
03:15.53JeffMSE == "not busted"
03:16.04spldartExactly...
03:16.05blast007I spent $129, but you can get the one I have now for $110 after $10 rebate
03:16.17spldartI'm not the 'new hotness' but I'm not 'old and busted'
03:16.22JeffMit's not special when the change was to make it work like it was suposed to
03:16.37spldartI didn't spend that much 8-0
03:17.04spldartfixed = fixed.. tought to argue with success... even if it took too tries. done
03:17.58spldartThis 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
03:18.45spldartAnywho... I'm getting to satisfactory gaming rig territory.
03:18.57spldartAnd more than adequate for BZFlag ;)
03:19.13spldartJust remember where I came from 8-0
03:19.46spldartDual K7 bartons on a 9800 Pro. Way back in the day.
03:20.28blast007I'm going to be replacing my mom's 800MHz PIII with parts from my old system ;)
03:20.29spldartGah... That rig was over 1 grand $
03:21.03spldartI love that part blast... where the old good stuff distributes to the rest of the lowly machines
03:21.05blast007she'll have an C2D 1.86GHz with a nVidia 7900GTO instead of the PIII w/ 5200
03:21.39blast007oh, and at least 2GB of RAM instead of 384MB ;D
03:21.58blast007I might buy faster RAM for my system and then toss in 4GB instead
03:22.04spldartI still remember when I thought I was shiznizzle with a pentium overdrive 83 mhz in my 486 rig
03:22.07spldartwow
03:22.27blast007heh
03:22.49blast007my first machine was a 4MHz 8086, and then we went from that to a 133MHz Pentium
03:23.00blast007just a *slight* upgrade there :P
03:23.04spldartMy first machine was a TRS-80 model 1
03:23.12blast007or mabe it was 8MHz, I always forget
03:23.18spldartI can't remeember if that was a 100mhz or less
03:23.31spldart1mhz
03:23.36spldart1000khz
03:23.55spldartmeh.. dunno.. but 4k in memory
03:24.10spldartupgradable to 8 or 16k... iirc
03:24.34blast007"My first computer was so old, you had to push it up hill both ways just to make it read the floppy!"
03:24.47spldartfloppy?
03:24.50spldartthat's new tech
03:24.56blast007hehe
03:25.01spldartI had cassette drive on my first 3 pc's
03:25.18blast007"Hold on, I'm punching a new card"
03:25.39spldartLook... I'm a trs-80..... *  **  *    ** **    * **   **   *    *    **
03:26.14JeffMtries to figure out how to get 1080p to his new TV
03:26.18spldartMy grandma did some punchcard work... I was a kid and thought it was kewl watching the cards fly thourhg the wheels
03:27.48spldartmeh..... I'm already missing my hdmi digital audio
03:27.49spldartgrrr
03:27.54spldartI got a plan though
03:28.10Think_Differentlwhat card did you end up getting, spldart?
03:28.31spldartvideo? 9800 gt
03:28.37Think_Differentloh
03:28.40spldartfrom gigabyte... to match the mobo
03:28.47Think_Differentlthey don't have hdmi audio?
03:28.55spldartapparently not
03:29.14Think_Differentlhmm, I know the 3xxx and 4xxx series from ATI can do it
03:29.23Think_DifferentlI thought the nVidia cards could too.
03:29.39spldartI'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
03:30.11Think_Differentlspldart, http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1030374
03:30.18spldartthey have special builds for win 7 beta
03:30.21Think_Differentlapparently you hve to use a cable to connect it to the sound card inside
03:30.29JeffMweak
03:31.55spldartAh... I got both connectors
03:34.48spldartI'll be busy tomorrow after work... multiple connectors and adapters
03:35.46Think_Differentlooo, the 4770 is coming out soon
03:37.16Think_DifferentlGDDR5 on a card that costs about $100...not bad. seems like it could overclock well.
03:39.20spldartooOOooo... overclocking

18:12.21blast007Artox: you could run the clent with -window passed to it
18:13.03blast007or set up your displays differently so they aren't treated like a single screen
