yeah i know what ya mean there and some of the stuff that is in here is not straight forward either. like there is no more makers of where to go next you know like the other 2 had now you have to figure out where to go and how to get it. which after a while does get boring and since there is no join faction or what ever in this 1, well basically you are on a mission anyways since you are in the military !!

you have to check each crash helo and find what happen and that is it and why gsc chose to charge full price whne this should have been a $9.99 dlc and no more is beyond me. and yes TS is still playing this and hasnt even left yanov yet and he has been playing in zone time of 3 months so far rofl !!

i keep up o him now since i spend a lot of time over at the gsc forum and since there is a lot wrong with the game and some fail to see it or dont want to. and a lot that have it via steam are not ahppy at all since most still cant get it to run yet!!

and some of the gsc forum user say well dont use a pirated version then and yadda yadda i have to stay quite though rofl !! since that has nothing to do why there games some other games dont run at all or not much. and that is with the retail version that i speak of on the last part .

i do know that quad core or at least my quad like to use the core 0 and core 1 only and seems to run better and those 2 core seem to stay around 100% when i play CoP. but if i have all 4 core on only core 0 is at 100% and the other 3 are at 10% or less. and turning grass density to off helps as well and i still have plenty of grass on the ground yet.

and i all ways play on master level

ha ha- ya- im sure ts tells every1 or acts like he is a cop expert and never even finished the first level yet.. i had enough of that junk and him with soc..

guess i should get clear sky someday- let it make me pull out some hair.. im thinking i might post at evga. see what they think or if i can set up my bfg 7800gtoc as physics- if i read right i can.. i think i just have to turn on my other pcie slot in bios and then set it on in nv control panel- if it works and add my 4 gig kit-- my lil system might just truly rock for being older and what i have-- i wont be able to use my other system tho- i dont have another vid card to use in it..

see ya

Erik, keep in mind that whe you have 2 video cards, the PCI-E speed cuts in half, so your main card will drop to x8 instead of running at x16. Could hurt performance a little. Not sure if the extra eye candy from having a seperate PhysX card is worth it or not.

hmm- are you sure about that chris.. my mobo is 2x 16x video card slots.. this mobo can run both vid card in sli at 16x..

but if what you say is true.. i dont think i want to set that up.. but too- i read 8x is plenty for most all games on earth- none really even push 8x cards.. but if it will only run 8x i think i will skip it..

its just a thought-- i was thinking of ways i could increase performance..

my vid card already does physics-- i was just hoping to take that load off my main vid card.. but no- i do not want to run at 8x..

thanks

playing this my second game at master skill level is ok.. seems to me its more easy at this skill level. you have to avoid being hit and use right artifacts for need- but i seem to do it pretty well i guess..

i played the game- did as few missions as needed to get all tools end the game and go free play mode. now im doing what extra side jobs i care too. and hunting artifacts stashes mutants bandits and mercs..

i have the best and lots of chit and rups.and upgraded my exo it now has nv and i can run in it and has 4 pockets- guess i did some wrong upgrades before. gets kind of boring tho.. i gave strelok all his notes. got that award..and got him away safe etc. i saved the medic too. i could not get the- 1 shot- mission to work.. i got ahead of the game- i went back to a save and got it to work.. other than that. it all works other than the slow downs.. the 1 shot mission is cool and you get a mk sniper gun. im not sure what the red card is for. my next game i will figure it out.

see ya

oh ya.

id need an extra 8 series and 256 mem or more high vid card to use 1 as physics only. also being both my vid card slots are 16x. i dont think my main vid card will goto 8x.. some sli mobos as soon as you go second vid card and or sli it auto goes to 8x.. they are not called 2x 16x slots.. i need to do more research- i can have some of it wrong.. i dont have extra video cards so it dont matter any way..

i was reading either nv 300 what ever? the tesla i think it is is a cad card- the e gforce is different. or either intels video- you will need no drivers and can use both ati or nv in same system- use 1 for physics etc.. but from what i read the slow ups for the new nv vid cards is some chips was bad.. so. id guess nv's new cards when they do come out will be killer sweet- new tech and cost a lot ha ha.

ive read lil here and there on intels new video- maybe its onboard mobo video- but its said next gen.. and i was reading the cry3 engine. no hardware to date or next gen consoles in the works can run it.. ha ha its crysis on steroids.. no systems today can max out the original crysis game if i understand it right.. its a hoot.. but new tech in the near future is going to be leaps and jumps over tech we use today.. more rumors mostly i guess.. so.

this seems to be a ligit article..>

and i was reading nv wants to get out of vid cards- says- pc gaming is going down- mostly because of consoles- ya we have known for a long while- we get garbage pc games for a reason. i think nv wants to make chips gpus etc- but dont want to make video cards- or something like that. maybe these will be the last run on nv vid cards?? maybe they will join up with intel and video?? who knows...

the market its self is trying to kill it off and want us to buy xbox.. in fact id say pc gaming has falling off because of poor games and piss poor ports and then cheating in all mp games.. then most pc sp games today are pretty short. the market is shooting its self in the foot.. also- say we all do go and buy a xbox- we for sure do not need to upgrade our pc's or vid cards every few months.. i think its kind of stupid my self..

see ya..

Hmmm, interesting read, Erik, thanks. But, what happened to the 300 series cards? They jumped to the 470 and 480 cards?

That's fine with me, either way it will bring the 200 series cards down in price and I'll pick up a nice dual GPU card for a nice price.

BTW, did you know that if you have an ATI card as your primary graphics card, and try using an Nvidia card for PhsyX, the Nvidia drivers will "see" the ATI card and will disable PhysX? There is a workaround to fix it, but I think that Nvidia really shot themselves in the foot with that one.

i was edit my post while you was posting chris..

but i dont think you can run multi brand video cards in 1 system now.. and i have read something about ati and physics. they dont like each other or some thing..

but the next gen graphics-i think its intel will use no drivers and can use multi brand video cards.. i think now. you have to use all same brand in same system.. i dont think you can install drivers for both ati and nv on same system and i dont think no 1 brand drivers can run both video card brands at same time.. best i understand- ati cards should be able to run physics- maybe nv wants some royalties from them ati or something i dont know. nv owns it and can do as they like i guess. but the tech should be able to run it..

if i was reading right- the new intel stuff will be more powerful and no drivers etc.. sounds sweet to me.. i will try and find more info on it and post it..

** um i was reading them multi card cards 9800x2 and 295 etc have more problems- because you run them in sli tho its only 1 card.. they have more game problems etc like cf and sli in general.. if it all works right and for some games it might be cool- but folks fall back to the 285 or 275 and 1 video card and less head akes.. so- you should be fine and just wait with your 260s.

also- i was reading in this article- and being nv is late with its new cards- they are coming out with next step cards they would be selling by now and all price ranges on launch too- said the gpu has gone through 3 more revisions since they pulled it.. normally nv puts out its gtx cards first then mid and low range-- but they are hitting the market full blast with all price ranges.. so.. wait a few more months the new nv cards will have been out and few more months on sale-- say 4 to 6 months get something better than what you can buy now and at a reasonable price too- and dx11 is more future proof and dx will run tessellation etc. it will be a new dx engine or something that can do tess- ati cards can do tess but its different- nv its done in dx. by then ati will have its next gen cards and nv will be not far behind with new stuff too.. nv will push the market to put out more dx11 content too so..

lots of good info here..>

to be honest id wait about 6 months or so and let nv come out with its next gen new cards and then buy- not just out nv cards but the next revision and after they have been on the market a lil while-- kind of like the g80- 8800 and the g92 8800 512mb vid cards.. which all the new nv vid cards are just redone g80s or well redone g92s.. but the new nv stuff is all new.. id rather wait until its next gen- first gen stuff can be more buggy or obsolete faster.. so. your 260 is fine for most games- id guess- or your high res monitor can push your system in games.. a 275 or 285 is a good lil jump over your 260-- for less than 250 bucks.. but id wait save that 250 a few more months add another 50- 100 what ever-and then buy a new dx11 nv card.. id guess- it will blow the 295 out of the water..

chris your jump from your 260 to 275- 295 would not be so great- the 295 would be a big jump its 2 gpu's on 1 card- but again you have to use it as sli set up..

for me a 260 or 275 would be a big jump- more cores and memory- i could run at more high res.. and the 275 cards are only 20-30 dollars more than the 260- but new egg only has carries 2 275 left in stock- 1 is some msi i think and the other is a oc bfg for $259- it was 229 for over 2 months-- i guess they see they have the last 1s.. lifetime warranty- i wish i had the cash id get 1..>

id be happy with a 9600- i could use that for physics. its 256 bit and memory- but id only see gains in games using physics. which cant hurt in them games.. na- id be better off with a 275 and put this 8800 in my kn8 system.. dont think its psu can handle it tho..

yes there is a work around to have a nvidia gfx card as a physicX card when a ati is primary. but it does take some doing but right now i dont have the fund or the time to do it.

off topic:
since in less then 3 months time i have to be moved out and into a new place be it back at my moms or a apartment.

right now i am thinking more of back at my moms so i can rebuild my checking account and save up for to get a apartment to live ta for good. and file chapter 7 on everything and the house since i can no longer pay on the property tax from now on.

just did my taxes and with everything i have for deductions i will be getting back $2.00 fracking dollars back from the federal !!! which is what i use to pay my property tax with every yr but til now.

so this really sucks since i have been here for 11yrs now and i will now loose my house because of my back and not being able to work let alone walk or do anything like going outside when the weather is nice like it has been for the last 2 days, the snow is melting !!!

but i will maintain my net so i can stay in touch and play since that is the only thing i can do for now. man this sucks i have so much junk to go threw and to figure out where to put it all at. and i am playing BF BC 2 when i should be packing stuff up ...
