o DXVA support
o De-blocking and noise reduction filtering
o Motion compensation, IDCT, DCT and color space conversion
o Vector adaptive per-pixel de-interlacing
o 3:2 pulldown (frame rate conversion)
* Seamless integration of pixel shaders with video in real time
* HDR tone mapping acceleration
o Maps any input format to 10 bit per channel output
* Flexible display support 120fps
o Dual integrated dual-link DVI transmitters (DVI 1.0 / HDMI compliant and HDCP ready)

o Dual integrated 10 bit per channel 400 MHz DACs
o 16 bit per channel floating point HDR and 10 bit per channel DVI output
o Programmable piecewise linear gamma correction, color correction, and color space conversion (10 bits per color)
o Complete, independent color controls and video overlays for each display
o High quality pre- and post-scaling engines, with underscan support for all outputs
o Content-adaptive de-flicker filtering for interlaced displays
o Xilleon™ TV encoder for high quality analog output
o YPrPb component output for direct drive of HDTV displays*
o Spatial/temporal dithering enables 10-bit color quality on 8-bit and 6-bit displays
o Fast, glitch-free mode switching

o VGA mode support on all outputs
* Compatible with ATI TV/Video encoder products, including Theater 550

He's just trying to sell you overpriced video cards.

This quote is especially ridicullous:

So what is "Enough fps"? I don't know, because nobody went there so far. Maybe 120fps is enough, maybe you will get headaches after 3 hours.

Yeah right. I can play for 20+ hours straight at 30-40 fps and not get any headache. If it appear fluid it appers fluid, period. Everything else is overkill, like I said.

So the human eye can supposedly see 100 fps, it doesn't change the fact that everything with 30+ appear fluid. So if there was dirt between two frames I'd see it, I guess I'll have to make sure dirt doesn't get in my video card, or it could show up between two frames.

You guys are going alittle astray with this link.
Who cares really weather its 20fps or 20,000 fps!!
THE POINT IS!!
I get a new speedy fast computer and I'm going to
enjoys the Hell out of Oblivian as well as Guild Wars,
Call of Duty, NWN 2 and the next 20 games
that come out before I have Robert, build the next
generation ASS KICKING sit in and go to the moon
without leaving my house computer for me.
I can't wait to blast off with this one

He's psyched...don't knock his rig

I'm kinda waiting for mine to keel over before I buy one that can handle Oblivion, or at least the semester to end. I guess there will be a healthy number of mods by that point.

[Hivetyrant]

Well, I have already pre-ordered Oblivion and im hoping my current beast will handle it on higher to highest settings, though it most likely wont, but thats ok because im getting my X1900XTX a few days after it comes out.
woot!

[TheCrimsomBlade]

SEE you on Planet Nine Hivetyrant.
Just remember that the X1900XTX can only be used
on PCI mortherboards and that you have a little
more than 10 inches of space. That sucker is long!!
Also I hope you have the 650W power supply that it
requires to keep it from getting resistance over
heating. I chose the X1600XT for just that reason
I didn't want the Full 24"tall tower case just to hold
the power supply and Card to give it the air space
required to keep it cool. Enjoy! I will.

If you want a graphics/game rig, get an AMD imo
(AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core 2.2 GHz)(4200+ means it runs 4.2 GHz intel equivalent) costs less then 400 euro (380 in Netherlands).

Woohoo! I'm pumped already, tell me when you get your rig and we can gloat together!

Yeah, the size of the card and PSY is annoying, but expected, and I have decided to remove all the crappy studd I had in my PCI slots anyways (TV card and what not)

Anything past 30ish and I stop checking. Sure, it's nice to look and see that im at 50-60fps sometimes but I don't notice a problem once I start at the 30 mark and therefore don't think to check my fps beyond this point. I do notice a small fluidic difference when the game goes from the 30 to 50 (30 is fluid but 50+ is like water-fluid), anything beyond this I don't notice.

[Ziroc]

Those prices for the 6800 are a joke. You can get the 6800GT 256mb ram from $129 to $250 tops now..

I own one, and its fluid in every game I play.
(also run 2 gigs of pqi superfast ram) 2.2.2.5
OC my P4 to 3.6Ghz, and it blazes. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have oc'ed it to 3.8 with no problems too, but don't wanna risk it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
