New Graphics Card

Post by Matt »

I just bought a new graphics card from eBay. Its a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro. My old graphics card wasn't too bad but now I can play Half Life 2 in full quality mode.
Also Counter Strike Source looks better. Anyone here play Counter Strike?

I've also juts bought the 3D Studio Max 7 Bible. Its over a thousand pages long and is going to take me forever to read! It makes your arm ache if you hold it for more than 5 minutes.

i am a huge counter strike fan. that game absorbed most of my time last summer. it is still one of my favorite games of all time.

The 9800 pro is a great card and I am running a Sapphire myself (its a black pcb version to which I put an aftermarket Zalman heatpipe on). If you really wanted to its possible to flash the 9800pro to an XT and pick up a few extra FPS. Half-life 2 is a great game, so is CS-S, Halo is addicting, and lately I been playing more America's Army which is a great game for those of you with no cash to blow on games, but a hankering to kill something(in a militarisc fashion).

I love that game! Some one let me borrow it and i couldnt stop playing it. finally they wanted it back so i went out and bought it and played all the time non-stop. and the graphics cards pretty good too.

They should've updated the graphics for the X-Box though.
