Initial Half-Life 2 Benchmarks Released
dfj225 writes "According to an article on ExtremeTech.com, it looks like ATI has the lead in Half-Life 2 graphics card performance. Valve benchmarked their new game using the top cards from both ATI and nVidia. Results show the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro drawing around 60 FPS while the nVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra only draws around 30 in Half-Life 2's DX9 full precision tests. Read the article to see results on other tests that Valve ran." Update: 09/11 13:06 GMT by M : Another article about the presentation.
enough is never enough, eh robbIE?
we extend our deepest sympathies to the victims of cowardly greed/fear based aggression everywhere.
that old tune title (hope we don't get 'busted' for using it) "make the world go away", takes on new/varied meaning in these times.
the prevalent notion that 'everything will be taken care of' without yOUR knowledge/participation is insidiously misleading.
in our estimation, the biggest 'threat' against US (aside from continuing to fire bullinedly into the 'crowd', whilst demanding applause), would be a failure to recognize our 'role' in the problems. we're victims for sure, but whoare ALL the perpetrators (see also: corepirate nazi puppets), gets lost in the ?pr? ?firm? generated propaganda spew.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. seek others of non-aggressive behaviours/intentions. that's the spirit.
the lights ARE coming up now. pay attention (to yOUR heart, for example). that could lead to new ways (see also: newclear power plan) of thinking about/dealing with, the needs/rights of others EVERYWHERE on the planet.
having the attention span of a gnat, & similar ambitions, might be ok if you are just planning to be a consumer/type one liners.
take care of each other, you're all we've got. we're here for you. get ready to see the light.
va lairIE's pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise STILL doesn't work? mynuts won again, & couNTing DOWn.
Along with scientist Eli Vance and his daughter Alyx, your mission is to save the world from total alien domination.
Damn after seeing the shots of Alyx I dont know if I want to concentrate on saving the world or shagging her senseless.
Bobby get your ass off that computer and get out there and cut the damn lawn before your father gets home I'm not going to yell down the laundry shoot at you even one more time! - Mom (upstairs computer)
"I got two 10k hardrive"
Yeah? Well, I've got THREE - count 'em - 1.44 MB floppy disks!!! Eat that!
Ha, I read 'I prefer to save my penis...'. I knew the new cards were expensive, but damn.
... have told me (obviously idiots like me)...
I don't think I'd go around telling people things like: "idiots like me"
