Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

to be honest 8600 GT really owns HD 2600 XT in every game by a large margin , also that's the non- overclocked version i am talking about , just to let you know 8600 GT has 540 Mhz core-clock which can be easily overclocked too 700 MHZ giving perfomnece like 8600 GTS , so i would pick 8600 GT all the way.

Also the HD 2600 XT is better in DX10 performance.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

some people say it does some say it doesent
btw is there any option in oblivion to allow hdr +aa i only see aa

 

[deathvirus_me]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

It does ..

As for Oblivion , make sure ur card supports HDr and AA together .. then simply set HDr on via ingame settings (which will disable AA ingame) , and simply force ur desired level of AA from the control panel .. For ATi users , i think u'll need that HDr+AA patch ..

Anisotropic Filtering

The problem with mip maps is that the result is a washed out look of the textures, especially if the textured surfaces have an acute angle (like right and left walls in a hallway or the floor). Anisotropic Filtering solves that problem by increasing the percieved resolution for those textures without reintroducing the shimmering. To achieve this, even more texels have to be sampled for each pixel. The more samples are used, the better the quality of the rendered picture is.

LOL .........

Af - anisotropic filtering- makes far-away textures look sharp & clear
bilinear will cause distant textures to appear blurred

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@frederick , go4 8500GT , if u can wait for a month , or if u can spend 7k , get a 8600GT , its a much better choice..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I would suggest everyone to steer clear of 8500GT, its a pathetic card,infact 8600 isnt that great as expected either.
Do NOT fall prey to 8500GT's DX10 tag,its BS

Price drops = fierce competition, New generation cards being launched

Thats the only scenario when i see price drops happening.ATI is yet to flood the market with Mid-Range DX10 cards.Thats where the fight REALLY happens. They have HD 2600XT and its cheap too but not as widespread as Nvidias 8600 series.

DX10 games are yet to come and thats when ppl will shift to latest cards IMHO.

Bottomline, i dont see price drops happening soon.
