Arrgh:

Quote: "Leadtek 8800GT 512MB"

You beat me there

Today I called to Alternate (my computer shop) and they said that when they ship it today I can have it by tomorrow... But I don't think they are able to send it. If they send it tomorrow TNT post (our mail) will not be able to send it by Saturday and Sunday.

WAIT!! I got an email right now... Opening... YES! THEY SENT IT TODAY!! WOOOOHOOOOO FINALLY I CAN SEE WHAT SHADERS ARE!!!

Thanks every1!!

-Jeff

I just came off playing Oblivion at a very solid 45FPS on:

AMD Athlon XP Single Core 1.8gHz
8x 128Mb DDR-100 cards = 1Gb, quite fast because of seperation (some on a PCI extender I found in a junk shop)
1x Maxtor 41.1Gb
1x Maxtor 79.6Gb
1x Seagate 475.5Gb (attached to PCI expansion)
1x Samsung CD-RW (attached to PCI expansion)
1x Generic DVD-RW but not R (attached to PCI expansion)
1x nVidia 6200 128Mb (AGP 8x, no SLI)

No overclock, nothing.
Unfortunately I haven't enough graphics memory for full distance land - if I enable it, the land underfoot becomes corrupt.


I fail at life. No, really.

How did you manage that? Only because the memory is splitted?? Wow
Nice one!


Thanks to Track & Trace (with it we can see where our packet is) I see that my packet now lies in Amsterdam. Well it's 10km from my current position, Almere
