is this grafikcard loud?

[BorkaBonum]

Nah. In idle its virtually all silent - in operation it can at times spin up a bit depending on what environment the card operates in. As in how well ventilated your chassi is.

[6996Tim6996]

why do you only have 2gb of ram, ram would significantly boost your fps and would all around help your performance with all apps.

ram is very cheap these days, good investment imo.

[BorkaBonum]

I will get myself some new RAM when I get a Phenom II 930BE processor in January, but until then I stick to my set. But I doubt I will see any boost more than top two-three frames a second with extra RAM as the system can't in practice utilize more than around 3GB in either way.

The reason why I'm hot on extra RAM is for those multimedia applications - I've noticed really heavy tasks makes things snail down significantly, and atleast I want to blame the RAM.

Nice Video...

[speedyelwood]

sweet!

[darthjump]

graphics to be exact sehr dumm andere zu kritisieren wie du siehst XD

[kriszium]

first zoom then push and hold the firng button then there will be a crosshair above the circle move YOUR crosshair in it and relase the button(huh this was a bit difficult do you understood it?) but this is only good for standing enemies otherwise you need to have some skill

[konman001]

I still haven`t figured out how to use a grenade launcher on the rifle - pisses me off...on STALKER it is easy.

[RRooooooNNNN]

Actually we build machines all the at work for companies that use Autocad, and Adobe Photoshop, CS4. it will use the extra memory.

[RRooooooNNNN]

Can't get link to paste.

[LaDeXi]

No they don't because the OS doesn't map the excess memory at all. If you run 32bit OS it simply won't understand all of that memory and doesn't map it for use. If it's not recognized by OS the programs can't use it either.

[RRooooooNNNN]

don't take this wrong nothing meant by it just bored, but it youp have more then the 3.25(4GB), even though your OS won't use it, any application that can support it will. like CAD, and some games.

[RRooooooNNNN]

sure, not the wattage it's the AMPs. those cards say minimum 550W, recomended 630-650Wsingle card, and 680 for dual.

[BlackwingDragon]

Ah crysis...

...shallow, pretty eyecandy shit.

[LaDeXi]

Yes you just need good quality PSU. If it can supply enough amps it's good. I have 550W LC-Power PSU with 9800GTX+ and C2D. Should run fine with quad core as well.

BTW don't compare 8800 and 4870 since 8800 are a lot older cards.

I think 2GB memory isn't that much. I had 2GB and my mem-usage was 100% in modern games (crysis,farcry2 etc.). Now i have 4GB altough only 3GB is used since i have 32bit XP. The mem-usage can go as high as 80-90% so i think having more than 2GB is really preferred.
