both companies haven't released updated drivers, we'll prob see improved speeds, even though it runs on the cod4 engine, which runs off the cod2 engine, all upgraded with eye candy (kinda like source:D).

Good to see the 9800GX2 still has the guts to perform well with new titles.
Guess the i7 will give us the performance boost with SLI or CF we have been waiting for, especially with the new demanding games.

:ouch: JK. Are you still using an AGP video card?

@L1qu1d - very true. I am still amazed at the SLI and xfire differences.

Actually ur half true, the Call of duty 4 engine loves the GX2, so the GX2 benefits the most from it, as stated in the article.

And I quote: "It does however has an intense amount of shader processors available in certain titles, and that does show. COD WaW is such a title, and the GX2 loves it. "

mm, maybe I'm wrong i hope i'm quoting here, because the forum has new layout.

No i use a pci-e gpu, but my mobo only supports a pentiumD 3.6 ghz maximum so you can say i'm limited in upgrading, so basically i run an old pc.

i'm waiting for februari. i hope a new generation gpu's are out, and that i7 is unbugged. if may pc can live longer, maybe it can survive until windows7...

I used to feel the same as when I had a 2.8 Northwood compared to an Athlon X2. Now, I feel like a K62-450 compared to a Pentium III. :pt1cable:



As a Pentium 4 user, you should feel the same like people are using a Phenom. :lol:

An Athlon X2 4600+ was a great upgrade from my old Northwood. Almost anything today is a great upgrade from a Prescott.

Hope you can upgrade soon. I noticed a big difference in going from single to dual core, and then noticed a smaller, but still real, difference in going from a dual to a triple -- but mostly in non-game apps.

For some reason, my sig doesn't appear when I post on break from work. I have:

8750 on a Gigabyte 780G board with a 3870x2, an Antec Nine Hundred case and Antec Neo 650 PSU, 2 gigs Kingston DDR2 800 and several legacy SATA 1 drives with one legacy IDE drive on a PCI controller card. Still using a 17" CRT too.

It's amazingly slow compared to a Nehalem, but it can hold it's own against similarly priced Core 2's (though Core 2 quads beat it too). I'm also using Vista with SP1 and I like it better than XP. Am I insane, or what?

Can't wait for the 45nm Phenoms, though what I want to see are 32nm SOI Phenom's rumored to arrive in late 2009.

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/11/11/amd-announces-move-32nm

Before anyone comes back and says "that's the Inquirer..." note that I said "rumored". When is AMD going to finally ditch SOI and go to high K?

WTH! This is even worse! HD4850 beaten by a 9600GT? My whole world just turned upside down.

Oh well, 8.11 seems to only address FarCry 2 and STALKER, so maybe 8.12 then.

You are probably right there. FS uses the FarCry 2 hotfix driver and sees the same results. The 4850 is far behind the 9800GTX at 4XAA and in the 9600GT - 8800GT range again.
