2 7800 GT or 1 7800 GTX

My father owns his own company, building turbines. And my mother owns a lawers firm. Because i don't see them much they try to make that up with expensive gifts.

I use an apple screen because it was the biggest own i could find, and because i watch movies on it as well (and it is really good for that).
 
Ahh I see nothing comes wihtout a sacrifice does it :(. But well you know you could ahve just bought a normal TV which may have been better and cheaper just because it is not apple lol. I don't know if yours is "High Deffinition" but well our home TV is cost like £1000 is bout 30" and can be used as a computer monitor.
 
You see, big tvs can be used as computer monitor but there resolution is very low compared with comp monitors. I couldn't find a tv with the same resolution as my apple monitor. (Most flat screen tv have a resolution from 640*460 to 1024*768 anything more than that probably costs more than my pc)And i barely have enough space to put my Apple...since my room isn't that big.

Thats why you get an HD TV, ours even has built in freeview :D lol.

Just look at this

http://www.savastore.com/productinf...=Savastore&product_id=10280086&pid=45&tid=279

Its cheaper than yours and im sure its just as good if not better. Because I found when you buy apple aswell as extreem quality your also paying for the brand name and its unique look.

well if you look at its specs you will see that it's max resolution is only 1280 x 768 while mine is 2560 x 1600...you see what i mean.
 
haha spose, but will you ever need that reselution??? But whatever you have the best computer I have ever heard of lol so well I will have one like yours in bout 5 years when it costs like 1500euros lol. And you may have one thats 10 times better :P.

hahaha who knows, but yes we should realy let it die. We are not aiding anything here.

Dude killthc your rig is the best. Enjoy it.
 
i do need that resolution, i play all the games at least at 1280*1024, and higher if they are capable.
This will be my last post on this thread because it was originally about something else.
 
Haha since your saying that 2 7800 GTX's equals a whole gig of dedicated memory, then I'm assuming your getting the 512mb version

Unfortunatelt thats not true. The memory is mirrored

and quake 4 ultra settings requires 512mb

No it doesnt cuz if it required 512, then i couldnt play on it ... furthermore, I think i get better Ultra-mode performance than if i was running this 512MB card

Haha he spends tons of money on his computer but doesn't know much about them

You could say the second half about most people...

but I think that if he spends all that money he should at least some things

That is because that card is not very good atall, I think most peoples 256mb cards could outperform that.
 
that is amazing that you can play quake4 ultra without stuttering. all the people ive seen that have tried to do it without at least 2gb of ram experience the stuttering caused by loading the textures from the hard drive

Obviously: but's a 512MB card -- which was your point -- that you NEED a 512MB card to play on Ultra mode :)

Sorry to prolong this and im not going to pretend I even know the slightestbit about computers. But I never said that. I never even played quake 4 and im sure I could run it on ultra on my computer fine. I mean I can play fear on highest settings with no slowdown and thats meant to be the mostdemanding game out.
 
quake 4 requires 512 because it will buffer uncompressed textures in your ram (system or gfx card) and if it can not fit in there, it will use the hard drive instead, which results in the jerks every time you turn a corner or turn around (because generally speaking, there is no hard drive that is as fast as ram)
 
What if you run the game off a flash drive sureley that would work asthey are many times faster. And also I choose to believe Preator as he is never wrong lol.

What is a flash drive faster than? Its not faster than a hard drive since it goes through a USB port.
 
Erm how many MB a second does a hard drive transfer at lol (I have no idea) and well flash has the potential to transfer faster as far as I know even if it cannot be achieved lol.

And flash drives transfer at 40mb a second I would have thought that is plenty to play a game from, but i gues im wrong and nooby again lol
 
im not discrediting him, but i do find it highly fascinating. i was reading through the long lists of people that could not play q4 on ultra because it would become choppy every time they turn a corner, as the textures load from the hd. (i guess ill have to find it now). just wondering how he is able to work around this? not that it matters, as ultra and high look exactly the same
