Worth Reading?


NoYes

ATI has just announced that they are shipping their HD 2400 and HD 2600 cards. So you know what that means. It’s once again time to upgrade.

I know that some of you out there have to be on top of the latest video cards as soon as they come out. If that’s the case, you’ll want to bust out your card and head to your favorite online retailer. Otherwise, you can just hold off and wait for a nice price drop.

The two new cards will have the Unified Video Decoder, so your HD content won’t take such a toll on your CPU. You’ll also of course have DX10 capabilities. I’m still behind the times with my DX9 card. I suppose the time is coming when I’ll need to upgrade. How about you guys? How many of you have switched over to a DX10 card? How do you like it?

    How about me and my GeForce 2 MX400 with ( 128 Bit – 64 Mb) Direct X 7.0.

    Do you still think you are behind the times…heh
    I’m practically in the stone age. ROFL. :-(

    Feeling better now ehy.

    Do you think its time for me to upgrade?

    I wonder how CRYSIS will run on this Graphics Card…lol?

    Man, that’s starting to get pretty old. Yea, it was a bit of a joke saying I was behind with DX9. I just recently upgraded my card, so I don’t imagine I’ll do it again until I get a new system. I know plenty of people out there that are constantly upgrading their cards. Honestly, I’m usually pretty content with my card for several years. Though it is nice to be on the cutting edge.

    Hey.

    Can I ask what you fellas do with the old graphics cards which are (1-3) generations behind the times?

    Whether AGP or PCI-E…do you hold on to them indefinatly or give them away as prizes?
