Armor ss's

[Seer]

Now, I don't own a radeon 9700, but it is a superior, and sometimes vastly superior card to the ti4600.

Still, the 9700 and Ti 4600 are nearly completely equal statistically Venoxile.

In fact the Geforce's core and memory clock, run about 200 mhz faster. The only thing the Radeon beats is the memory bus width, by 128-bit.

That's not true... The Radeon 9700 Pro is much better then the Geforce 4 ti 4600, even the radeon 9500 pro with 128 mb is better then the geforce 4 ti 4600 with 128 mb. Go look at some benchmarks. The Radeon 9700 Pro handles much much better at the very highest resolutions.

Look at this test: http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic...n_9500-07.html

The cards all do pretty equal except the 9700 pro which does much better in the normal tests, but then in the very high resolutions tests the 9500 pro and the 9700 pro blow the ti 4600 out of the water.

now when you say higher, how high are we talking?

vice versa, the GF4 burned out and he got a radeon.

Annyways, the radeon also has working AA/FA and Dx9 support, what little that counts atm hehe

Dunno, I don't really care that much. I should be upgrading around may 10th.
My upgrades:
Radeon 9700 Pro at circuit city - 300$ (maybe lower if when the 9800 comes out the price drops), tax - 18$
Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8g) at a local business - 100$, tax = 6$ 256MB PC 2100 266 MHz DDR Memory - 20$, tax = 1.20$
Planetside - 50$
Total = $495.20

And i have about 600$ to spend on entertainment at the moment. The rest will go into monthly payments.

Ok heres the deal, those first 2 screens were taken on my 9700

The second 2 screens were taken by Flynt, I am not sure what he is running.

I have a 9700 Pro with ALL graphics turned up. Except for last week when PS reset the details on me and I didnt notice till i took the batch of screens.

[Venoxile]

Could you find out what flynt is running? lol, i might just join tr because it's the shiniest empire ^^.

edit: better yet, could you give us some ss's of some high level vanu/nc on a 9700 pro?

I will get those screens if I ever come across them. I have already played those empires in earlier weeks.

Flynt is running a radeon 8500, probably not at full detail

[Venoxile]

Ahh, well you've obviously seen nc and tr when playing (or i'd hope so...), do they look as detailed and menacing (and shiney ^^)?

[Venoxile]

Haaaaammmmaaaaaa

Here is a sweet high quality Vanu Medium armor

[Venoxile]

That pic is incredibly old, no vanu have black on them anymore. They're completely covered with purple and teal. I don't even think that pic is that high quality.

[Dinky]

He looks strangely high detail though, look at his lower chest it has a shine, as if he were even bump mapped, and I am aware its old.

[Venoxile]

I don't really mind how the vanu look that much, i might even have joined them if it weren't for their huge disadvantage in the ammo department. They don't use the same rounds as everyone else so it'll be impossible to take ammo from dead tr/nc because they use completely different ammo types, so if you run out of ammo, and no one in your squad died or the others in your squad took the dead vanu's ammo, you're going to be running around with a pistol. That's not the only reason, just a big one i can think of right now. Time to sleep, good night.
