amp, you should really try to grab a 4850 for cheap. its about as fast as a 3870x2, if not faster.

I'm not in UK tho, but you should be able to find a 3650 for that cheap. and maybe a 4850 used for the same price.

nobody bothers to actually read the thread...

not really . The historx mod is a lot of fun. the VLN 2005/(2009 soon hopefully) mod is fun too, but not as realistic.

I want to see a game that combines current/next gen graphics and realistic physix. I was hoping for that from Shift... oh well.

got OCZ Mod extreme 780 watt modular power supply, some IC Diamond 7 TIM, and an antec 1200 case for my new system.

i just read some game devs say that dx11 games can be made to support dx9 cards.plus, i just ran the stalker COP benchmark, and that ranges from dx9 to dx11. where did you read that dx11 games cant support dx9?

Bout to go work out to some Tool tho.

Quote from GeForz :

And what benefits does it have if a directx 8 game suddenly runs direct x 11?

Why would you ask a question with such an obvious answer? the developers have to take advantge of the new features of dx11, or else there will be no big difference. framerates may change a bit.

record a soundbyte of you singing/humming hte song

btw, what are your pc specs? I got massive gains when i upgraded from a 4850 to a 5850 and i had an e8400 processor. Now i've got an i7 thoough. You can find used 4850's, 9800gts, 250s, for $80 or so now.

Quote from Shadowww :

No it wouldn't be nice if only 1/3 of current LFS players could play it.

If you look at the tech demos, games can be made to run from directx9-11. like with the uningine heaven benchmarks. If you dont have a dx9 graphics card by now, you probably shouldnt be playing lfs in the 1st place.

It looks like Windows 7 sales will be very high. and demand for the 5xxx series is high (though supply is low atm)

Windows 7 64 bit ultimate I also have a Directx 11 graphics card. it'd be nice if LFS utilized dx11...

yeah, don't go any lower end than the cards mentioned by the guy above me.

did you end up going i7? i went to microcenter in NJ and picked up a cpu from there. the 1st stage of my new build is almost complete. just waiting for new case to get here

yeah everyone uses driversweeper

i almost lolled.

yes, that's why I said "if". the difference is not big, currently. i5 is dual channel instead of tripple, has no hyperthreading, and 8x 8x crossfire/SLI instead of 16x. this is only a few fps difference in all games currently out.

welll, if you look around, you may be able to build an i7 system for not much more than i5. I found a i7 920 for $200 when its regularly over $290 and I also got my X58 motherboard for $170.

obviously i meant to say car racing game I'm gonna go try it out now.

Nice, i had no clue they made a racing game too

The Unreal 3 engine just got released to indie developers for a nominal fee of $0 if for non profit use. If being done for profit there is a 1 time $99 fee plus 25% in royalties after $5,000

how much is that rig worth, 3,000?

you have to be D class 4.0 to race the mazda against other people unless its a hosted server, i think. but that wont take long.

yeah, my i7 really wants a better case... my coolermaster 534 has very bad cooling/airflow, also my power supply is very cheap. these are things to consider when upgrading. buy a very high quality case, and you can reuse it.

I hope i can grab a better powersupply before something bad happens.

wonder how long, if ever before iracing goes DX 11 or 10.1 The default set for the Dallara pushes like crazy.

there is a laguna Seca hosted server up if you guys wanna jump in it. sofar fastest guy is down to 1'21's.
