Griff and I have a sickness. When one upgrades, the other follows. We take our simming serious and don't want hardware to be an issue. We almost went SLI or Crossfire, but couldn't justify it as currently nothing takes advantage of it. So far the FX-60 and 1900 XTX havent' met anything it can't spit out :D
Afterburner
03-07-2006, 01:32
Your FX-60 will be perfect for Fighter OPS but X1900 will be limited to Directx 9.0 and XSI intends to take advantage of Directx 10. Nonetheless your rig is TOP END, period.... :evils:

I don't know if my card is compatible with next Directx 10.:sad:
PS: I've ATI radeon 9800 Pro. Have anyone this card too?
Afterburner
03-07-2006, 21:42
The 9800pro is long gone mate and is only Shader Model 2.0 compliant......that was my card in 2004 and I whacked the hell outta it back then. Basically if the fastest X1900XTX is Directx 9.0 and Shader Model 3.0 compliant only, where do you think your card stands, in no way it is promising at all I must say. Hang on to it first and make the next big upgrade when Fighter OPS is out..... :thumb:

So what extra features does such a shader allow, I remember the last card upgrade I did was because of vertex shading which was a dramatic change in graphics.
Afterburner

Well basically it gives you a BUTT-LOAD of eye-candy..... :evils:


Dx10 has some interesting changes. While the Dx10 rendering pipeline is similar to Dx9.0, it introduces a new shader, known as the Geometry Shader. This shader allows developers to perform functions on whole polygons (and series of polygons), instead just pixels or just vertices. This new shader promises to dramatically increase the performance of many 3D functions such as cube-mapping.

Another part of the Geometry Shader is the Stream Out functionality that allows the GPU to recycle graphics data without needing the CPU. Not only is this a boon to performance, it will also allow for particle systems completely independant of the CPU.


Sounds damn good to me, we'll have to see how it does when its out though. For those who havent seen it, check out Crytek's Farcry Dx10 powered engine available here (http://www.gamershell.com/download_10801.shtml) ..... :thumb:

Looks nice and all, especially with what i've seen of the cockpit... but remember that this release does utilize StarForce.

Keep that in mind if you have any DVD-RW drives you wish to keep, since many have reported that after installing something with starforce, their Firmware had been overwritten.

Technically 2d spherical meshes ( looking up and down is one dimension, left / right is the other). You can zoom, so you can argue that it's 3d...but really all that does is act as a magnifying glass...your perspective doesn't change.

Yes, but only Ka-50 in BS will include change of perspective. Other planes will not include that.

Right...that's what I said in post 47...it's a shame they won't fancy up the old aircraft pits for the new release, but I guess that would be a crapton of work.

At the end of the day. There will be only 2 things worth trying in this game. And one of them is open to speculation because it has not been tried yet.

Su - 25 (and T)
blackshark.

All the rest are just simplistic toys.

The best thing is - they released tools for making new 3D models of things to replace old ones. People are already making new, more accurate drop tanks, planes etc.

To bad the western planes are so poorly modeled regarding avionics and weapon systems, especially when the game represent no timeframe at all, we will get things that will be in the future (M1128 MGS for example) and the Eagle is still carrying AIM-9L, not M, and no X with JHMCS either. Not to mention proper IFF and NCTR... not even proper flare and chaff CMs.
