oops right...139.00 My 7900 GT OC was priced at 289.00 (Evga is expensive)(and it was 9 months ago)at step up.

And the to Who ever said wrong about the 2900 Xt not being a good card? for 299 it is one of the best cards to buy!
I am running one on my downstairs machine.....It is a great card.

Yeah i hope you also know that the rumored Geforce 9 series cards are supposed to be mid range only the high end cards will be coming later. So if you are hoping to get the 8800GTX for cheap i do not think that is going to happen. Not like Nvidia has to release anything new nothing competes with their high end cards anyway.

With new G92(Geforce 9) series coming sometime in November it should drive down prices of Geforce 8 cards.

Now I own a 8800 GTS and i LOVE it.Nvidia is really getting better at driver support.But I feel the 2900 XT at its price point and performance is truly the card to buy right now.

that's about as wrong as a statement can be.

Jonny5, Did you mean $150 because the price point between those two cards has never come close to $15... and never will.

You can't find a 8800 GTS 640 for under $375. And I had the 7900 GT myself and know they have been under $200 for quite some time now.

It's possible that somebody could find a retailer who will over charge them for a two year old card (the 7900 GT) but why would you buy it? Make no sense...

Well after the first couple of hours of playtime I certainly thought so. It was so fast I couldn't even for a minute figure what was going on or what I had to do but after about 2 days it's really starting to grow on you. That's when you just start to read all the on-screen advice the game gives you and that's when you start to figure out how you can help your team by choosing the right class for the current phase of the map. I noticed that more than in games like Battlefield, you can really make a difference as a single player. 5 Minutes you're running to the front as a soldier getting killed over and over again before you decide to play a field ops, clean out the pocket of resistance with an airstrike and let your hackers get in on the objective. I like the fact that you don't have to run miles to get into the action and that the maps are divided in logical phases. Yes, it's still very fast and some might argue that it should be at a much more slower pace for better strategic and tactical gameplay but once you figure out what to do it can't be fast enough

Zeph, you forgot to take your "blue" pill.

It's TOMORROW!!! We need a FUCKING story about a movie for a demo that is being released tomorrow?????

This is getting ridiculous. What the fuck is this new kind of marketing where you make a story about a story? WTF IS THIS???!?!?! JUST MAKE IT STOP!!!


Coming up on the news, Splash Damage is planning on releasing a story about the upcoming story which will be revealed when they announce when the story will be released, and of course, we here at Bluesnews will be informed with a story about that story for the release of the story, which in itself is a pretty good story.


WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!>??A?A?!?!?!?!?A!!

I agree and do not agree.
I purchased an ATI 9700 pro back in the day and it was the longest lasting longest used card i have ever owned.

Now I own a 8800 GTS and i LOVE it.Nvidia is really getting better at driver support.But I feel the 2900 XT at its price point and performance is truly the card to buy right now.

It beats the 8800 gts in some benchies and is cheaper.ATI and Nvidia have gone back and forth on being king.I feel ATI will release a card in next few months at a great price point that is going to crush Nvidia.

But until then I will enjoy my 8800 GTS(640) got it on a EVGA step up (from a 7900 gt) for 15 dollars.havent had a problem in ANY game in 6 months.

Pretty much most games from now on will require shader3 i suggest next time don't buy an ati. I'm only saying this cause I made the same mistake and they left it out of alot of middle of the road cards. Back to nvidia now and much happier.

Gotta say, it looks pretty dated.

Looks like acutal gameplay footage to me, don't see any reason to suspect anything but.

Waaahhh! QW:ET raped me when I was young!

Those videos are clearly staged Hollywood style clips pieced together to get your attention. Just like every game video teaser. They may have used in-game video to make them but the game clearly doesn't look that good or play that well. So I don't know why they always insist on saying it's actual game-play footage. After being misled by so many other statements like that we all become jaded.

I had a pre-order in but I highly doubt I will purchase the game at release. Maybe if I get bored and after the first or second price drop...

i was pretty surprised how unimpressive it turned out to be in the beta

too bad

Game looks Bleh at best

I'm not sticking up for the game or anything but if you plan on playing AAA shooters from here on out you NEED a card that supports shader model 3.0 or you'll be left (playing) with your (sub-standard) dick in your hand.

Good Deatmatch = Quake I through III (maybe quake IV), Unreal Tournament games.

Bad Deathmatch = boring "pseudo realistic weapons" and animations locked at 30hz which would be Quake Wars.

Play the demo though, you may LOVE it!

Am I right in thinking that that card game out in like 2001 or 2002?

Heh, R420 was introduced in 2004. There were cards coming out as late as October, if I'm not mistaken.

Agreed with some good DM though. I'm tired of games where you can't play good if your team sucks. ET:QW needs teamplay AND good DM skills. Apparently some people can't do both, so they fall back on easier games.
