ATI 4800 Launch Info!
We previously published several details about AMD’s next-generation graphics card lineup and as we get closer to the launch we are getting more details about the launch date, feature set and prices. The good news: The new boards will come with “physics processing capability” and prices that will start below $200 for a 512 MB board. The bad news: The 4800 series will launch after Nvidia’s GT200.

Yes, we know, we previously said that the 4800 series would launch in May, but as it stands right now, we won’t be seeing the first new cards until mid-June. According To AMD’s current introduction schedule, the Radeon 4800 series will launch in week 25, which puts the day of the introduction somewhere between June 15 and June 22. What is significant about this time frame is that ATI will trail Nvidia and their new high-end chip GT200.

This comes as a major surprise, because it was widely expected that ATI will debut its RV770 chip first, followed by Nvidia’s summer part. But as it stands right now, Nvidia has the pole position in a new round of the graphics wars. Of course, the GT200 and RV770 are actually not entirely comparable, because of their huge price difference. But performance-wise, we’re in for a possibly close race.

ATI’s Radeon 4800 series will be introduced in three flavors - as 4850, 4870 and 4870 X2. The company will also offer a “4850 256MB” (as opposed to 512 MB in other versions), but this SKU is a so-called "option" and is geared towards to the OEM/ODM/SI crowd to support them with cheaper parts for the back-to-school period and beyond.

The Radeon 4850, code-named “Makedon,” is AMD’s launch board. The name, by the way, is likely to refer to Terry "Catalyst" Makedon, group manager for software and video in the AMD (ATI) graphics division. Of course, there is a small chance that Alexander Makedonski (Alexander the Great) may have influenced the naming, but somehow we feel that Terry has won this time.

The 4850 board features 512 MB of GDDR3 memory and is expected to be available in volume at launch. We heard that card vendors will start printing their boxes next week, which means that the specifications are final at this time. According to our sources, the 4850 will come with single-slot cooling; CrossFireX is supported with up to four boards in a single system (if you have the appropriate board based on AMD 790FX, 790GX, Intel Skulltrail, X48) and each board will require a single 6-pin PCIe power connector.

AMD will follow up in July and launch the Radeon 4870 512 MB GDDR5 and the 4870 X2 1024 MB GDDR5 (R700). The Radeon 4870 chip is built onto a board codenamed “Trojan” (could be named after a condom brand or a horse; we pick the latter) and comes with a dual-slot cooler, following the tradition of earlier XX70 boards. Our previous information about the memory buffer was a bit inaccurate, since the cost of Qimonda’s GDDR5 memory apparently was not compatible with the targeted pricing of these cards. The 4870 includes 512MB GDDR5 memory and surpasses upcoming Nvidia cards in terms of bandwidth. However, if any ATI partner wants to build a 1024 MB GDDR5 board, ATI will not say no, we were told. But don’t expect this to happen until early fall, since everybody wants to move as many units as possible.

In terms of performance, we heard some interesting claims. A 4870 should perform on par with or better than a dual-chip 3870 X2. Our sources explained to us that using a PCIe Gen1 controller 3870 X2 was a mistake, since the board was hungry for data and didn’t sync well with this interface. Don’t expect the ATI team to repeat that mistake with the 4870 X2. However, we admit that we have no idea what kind of connection two RV770 GPUs will have.

Looking at features, ATI will promote DirectX 10.1, PCI Express 2.0, dynamic geometry acceleration and other functions that were introduced with the Radeon 3800 series. What surprises us is that the manufacturer is highlighting a "Game physics processing capability" in its launch materials. Since ATI didn’t bid for Havok (which ended up in Intel’s lap) and Nvidia snapped up PhysX we wonder who provides a physics engine for ATI. Perhaps the company took a completely different direction and it simply expanded its GPGPU capabilities from professional FireStream cards to the desktop.

The Radeon 4800 series also includes 7.1 channel-via-HDMI support and color output also got a “significant” boost, our sources said. We were unable to confirm HDMI 1.3 support, but we would not be surprised if that in fact is the case. The Unified Video Decoder is now in generation 2 and is called "UVD2".

Every aspect of the GPU is monitored by PowerPlay, since ATI will be very aggressive on the power side: The boards have been designed with power in mind and the 4850/4870 won’t require 8+6-pin combinations (exception: The dual-GPU 4870 X2). Power supply requirements call for a 450 watt unit for a single card and a 550 watt version for two cards. Given the fact that ATI has to state this for PoS power supplies, CrossFire should do just fine with a top notch 400 watt power supply.

Let’s talk about pricing. AMD decided to remain aggressive in an effort to win back market share. Pricing is actually set to a point where Nvidia is unlikely to be able to compete (that is at least what somebody is hoping for). Pricing guidelines are not finalized at this time, but according to several sources, the Radeon 4850 will succeed the 3850 512MB and should cost about $189-$219 at launch. Our sources indicated that 4870 GDDR5 cards will cost between $249 and $279, but somehow we feel that AMD might aim go for $199 and $249 at launch.

Given the current market, these prices could stir up the market and create quite a circus. Radeon cards could be getting lots of design wins for the back-to-school market, but our sources warned us that ATI is a bit late to the party. Qualifying of systems takes time, and tens of thousands of machines take time to be manufactured and shipped to North America. For Europe, things are more lenient, since nobody works in August and schools/universities start in September or October.

All in all, ATI will have one helluwa June and July. All eyes are now on Nvidia: Will Nvidia create a decent competitor for the sub-$300 range (55nm G92 is being prepared), or will AMD/ATI will gain market share?

Dungeon runners is a RPG game that you play online with other characters that you often don't know. You get 3 characters per account wich you can personalize any way you like. There are also 3 different types of characters : ranger, fighter and mage. You meet other characters in outposts, and if you make them a friend, you can fight beasts together. You can also fight against other characters in certain towns. There are loads of different merchants, skill trainers and loads more but you only find those in town. The highest level you can be is level 100. You also win items and money from ennemies and monsters. overall i would vote this
9.5.
Comments: 1 | by toonavon From the pages of a Draenei journal…
Shard and I passed through the Dark Portal, hoping to join others in Outland fighting the Burning Legion. The shock that came upon when I materialized on the other side of the portal was one of overwhelming sorrow. I was ‘home’ standing once more on the soil that was Draenor, the place of refuge, the land of the exiles, the home of my people, the few who were left, the few who were broken, lost and whole. The sorrow was for everything lost, and for the pain at seeing had, had become of the world I had vague memories of.

Stretching out from the base of the dark portal is a sprawling war torn and burning wasteland that the humans have names the Hellfire Peninsula. It appears to be a twisted cross between the Blasted lands and Tanaris of Azeroth.

It is also like no place that ever was on Draenor, not in living memory, this burning wracked land was once if memory services and by the Light I know it serves, a lush and verdant land. Now this properly named Hellfire Peninsula is a dry barren wasteland rendered lifeless no doubt by the dark practices of the orc warlocks.

Aesthetically, the ground looks like it does in the Blasted lands a reddish hue, and hard-packed. There the similarities end for as I travel over the ground the sound of bones cracking and shattering beneath Shard’s and my feet, was not merely a sound but a feeling. It shook me to the very bones of my being, for these were the bones of countless fallen, who had perished here and rotted here, wasting away until all that was left of them were these broken and brittle bones. There can be no rejoicing in these bones, for they are not all orcs. Also human, Kaldorei, Dwarves, Draenei and others. All that remains from the systematic slaughter that seems to be the signature of this realm.

The human’s named this place Hellfire, I would have named the Bloodied Lands, as I crossed the land, I came to believe the reddish hue of the soil was due to the blood of all those who had fallen here to mingle with the dirt.

It is here in the blood soaked land that the Dark Portal stands, atop the Stairs of Destiny like some strange dark sentinel, cementing by its presence this peninsula’s place in history and memory as the site of numerous pitched battles between countless combatants, drawn here from the Alliance, Horde and the Burning Legion.

If Hellfire had not already had a sad and sorrowful history the presence of the nefarious Burning Legion who has gathered here to use the area as its own staging ground for its apocalyptic war against all life and Light, would surely have made it so.

As we traveled over the landscape heading from the portal and Stairs of Destiny, sent by the wardens of the portal towards Honor Hold, I came to realize that little remains of the native wild life, and what does remain is twisted in to creatures from nightmare.

For nowhere else have I come across two-headed vultures, insane ravagers, and Hell boars. The beasts seem to dominate the landscape of Hellfire and they are vicious and cruel, attack with little provocation. All the while, I traveled the rantings and screams of the Burning Legion rang through the air. Tormenting and taunting all that would stand against them. As I neared Honor Hold, I could see that the presence of the Burning Legion, and the corrupted Fel Orcs, smoldered.

Honor Hold is the Alliance town that has been established in Hellfire. It is a refuge of human, Kaldorei, Draenei and Dwarven explorers. As well as a training ground for those who would attempt to hold the Legion from the Portal. Honor Hold is the first major town that anyone from the Alliance is likely to encounter. For while there is a tense truce between the Alliance and the Horde in there joint effort to face the Burning Legion, still we do not mingle freely with one another and at times are looking across drawn weapons at each other. Wasting our energy and efforts on attacking each other instead of facing our true enemy the Legion that would erase all life and light.

Honor hold does however offer a resting spot and a flight path if you are brave enough to mount one of the Wildhammer gryphons. Within the walls of Honor Hold is an Inn that gives the illusion of being a normal town in a normal place. The illusion is destroyed each time the Legion bombards the town with Fel fire. Around Honor Hold, one can also find professional trainers and a vendor of goods. Both useful in keeping your skills and your weapons in shape.

Here too the vestiges of the Sons of Lothar can be found, they are the veterans of the Alliance that first came into Draenor, and they have steadfastly held on to this Hellfire outpost. However, their expedition point was overrun and destroyed. Now these few who have for 20 human years lingered here and fought here are joined once more by fresh troops from Stormwind and Ironforge.

The Sons of Lothar were lead here by the Archmage Khadgar after the Second War.
It is amazing that he still lives, only because the fighting has been never ending for these survivors. The Sons of Lothar named themselves thusly in honor of Anduin Lothar, whom I have heard was believed to be the bravest human warrior to have ever lived.

The tales they tell of him are indeed impressive, but I believe all of these noble warriors are brave beyond their own understanding for they have stood here and fought on for 20 years. That is a hard and harsh life to live let alone survive through.

Shatter Point is a small Wildhammer outpost some distance from Honor hold. It is located amongst the flying debris that swirls and bobs around Hellfire. These chunks are parts of Hellfire or were parts of Hellfire before the sundering. The Wildhammer dwarves warn any who venture here to be cautious, as Shatter Point tends to tip and bob much like a cork in water. It is not a place for weak stomached folk.

Ii is here that the Wildhammer dwarves house several gryphon masters, and make bombing runs over the Abyssal Shelf disrupting as much as possible the Legions efforts to draw more troops to this area.

I have to clarify why I identify these dwarves as different from all others; it is a two-fold answer, for I have encountered their clansmen back on Azeroth in the Hinterlands. When I first encountered the Wildhammer dwarves they were not part of the Alliance, and held themselves apart, but they have since joined with the Alliance, from my conversations with them, I know they are the hill dwarves. They are a feral and untamed people prone to revelry and also shamanism and acts of great bravery though others will tell you it is pure stupidity. They are not into technological gadgets and favor instead natural magic and straightforward weapons. They prefer their stormhammers most of all. They are also the dwarves best known for their skill with and relationship with the gryphons. If you meet, one you will surely meet the other for the WIldhammers treat the gryphons as equals, not as mounts or pets. The gryphons in turn respond to their handlers’ respect and are steadfast and resolute in return. This relationship produces the most famous of the Wildhammer dwarves, the gryphon riders, true heroes of the Second and Third War, and the primary firepower of the Alliance.

The fanatical archaeological fervor that seizes the Ironforge dwarves does not concern the Wildhammer dwarves, perhaps they are descended from these mysterious Titans, but what does it matter? For the Wildhammer they live in the present and allow the past to be the past. Their ambivalence about their ancestry denies them the power of their Ironforge kinsmen, but they make up for it with bravery, determination and wild spirit.
Just prior to the War of the Three Hammers the Wildhammer clan ruled by Thane Kardros Wildhammer, inhabited the foothills and crags around the base of Ironforge.
When they were unsuccessful in wresting control of Ironforge from the Bronzebeard and Dark Iron clans, Thane Khardros took his people north through the barrier gates of Dun Algaz and founded their own kingdom within the distant peak of Grim Batol. There they thrived. However, as part of the pattern of history of Azeroth their peace was short lived, they were attacked and in the battle that followed, they lost their home as it became tainted with evil. Therefore, the Wildhammer clan once more took to the air and traveled north towards the lands of Lordaeron. There the Wildhammer clan settled in the mountainous region of the Aerie Peaks and the Hinterlands and the lush forests of Northeron. There they crafted the city of Aerie Peak. Moreover, it was here that the Wildhammer clan grew closer to nature bonding themselves with the mighty gryphons of the area. Overtime it was they who began calling their new home the Hinterlands.

I have been told that in Outland’s Shadowmoon valley, Kurdan Wildhammer, who was the chief Thane during the Second War and commander of the gryphon riders of the Alliance Expedition to Draenor, founded Wildhammer Stronghold as part of the bulwark against the Burning Legion. Kurdran is still Thane of the Wildhammer dwarves in Outland.

For a while the Wildhammer Clan was neutral not part of the alliance. However, they kept their ties and worked with the alliance. Recently it appears that the Clan has rejoined the Alliance. Perhaps it is because of their relationship with their mighty gryphons. In Outland, the Clan has been using their gryphons to run, bombing missions aimed at damaging the legion’s camps and bases. More their clan can be found in unlikely places they have mingled back into the general society, I have run into a few in Stormwind and in Ironforge.

Of all the dwarves, the Wildhammer clan has the best relationship with the remaining High elves, but is hostile to the blood elves. For all that, the Blood Elves are in fact High Elves that have taken a different path.

I do not know much of the high elves and those I have met seem distant, but I have been able to determine that the Clan and the High Elves have a common past; perhaps it is their shared love of nature and their hatred of all things evil. Of course the Wildhammer clan also gets along with the Kaldorei here the relationship gets confusing to me, as they too are ‘elves’ and are kin to the high elves for all their different appearance.

From everything, I have learned of the Wildhammer clan they hate Goblins, they view them as materialistic and technology driven and the Wildhammers delight in shooting the zeppelins the Goblins man out of the skies. I am amazed that they get along with gnomes, because as far as I have seen gnomes and goblins share that technology hunger in common.


These highflying dwarves live up to their name as they live their lives on the highest crags that allow them to live close to nature and chaos and hammers. They have elements of shamanism amongst their people that makes me think here is another group of people who might wish to speak with our Far Seer. More they also have elements that make me wonder why the Kaldorei have not taught them the magic’s of druids.


More than anything, you can tell that their lives outside on the mountains have caused changes for they are darker in skin tone then other dwarves. Their highest honors go to their gryphon riders. Form all that I have gathered it is a joy they embrace at an early age. Those who are not chosen by the gryphons pick other paths but all strive to be a gryphon rider.

Wildhammer dwarves have close ties to nature. Many are shamans, and some are druids. A few Wildhammers revere the Holy Light, but the faith demands too much organization and philosophy for the comfort of most of the clan’s members.

Comments: 4 | by HELLKNIGHT1# Crysis vs TimeShift?
Witch Game Has?

A Better Story -

Neither, Both Have Great Stories,TimeShift Has A Realistic Fantasy Type Story,where you
Use your TimeShifting Abilities to Take Advantage over your enemies,
Where as Crysis you Use Your Nano Suit to be Invisible Stronger Run faster or even have some Armor To Take your Enemies Down or try to Sneak around them, In TimeShift you are trying to Stop a Man Named Chrone who has a Time Shifting Suit to,witch is the Beta Suit,He Has Built a Massive Machine and is Trying to Destroy Everything,you need to Stop him,
Having the Ability to Slow Stop and Revers Time it Would Seem it would be Easy to Beat the Game,But it’s not as Easy as you think! You Cannot Stop
Slow or Revers Time As much as you want,the Suit only Has so much power that it regenerates,
Crysis is the Same Way Your Armor will Deplete as you get shot, And you Clocking Abilities are limited, when you are still your Clock will last for
About 3 min.,But as you move around your Energy will Deplete A Lot Faster, In Crysis you are a Member of the US Special Forces,You and your Team Are
Trying to Find Someone who sent a Distress Signal from an Island, After a wile You Find out that its Anything But ordinary,that's all I'm telling about the Stories.


Better Graphics -

Most of you probably wont Agree with me on this But - Neither, Why? Well Crippling Most PC’s Crysis Has Some Awesome Graphics That's For Sure , The Guy’s That Have the Nano Suit’s “Your Team” Have Some Great Graphics That are Better than Timeshifts, As Far As the Rest? The Koreans Have Some Odd Stuff Going on with there Faces “YEA” They are Vary good But that's not what we are Comparing, Some of Time Shifts Guy’s Have some add Stuff to, like that Chinese Guy, As For World Detail? They are Both Vary Good! , Goodies! Well Crysis Has Lots Of Destructible Stuff and Nice Grenades, you can Shoot or Blast Down almost every tree Building Vehicle in your way! , The Thing i Noticed Most Was Crysis Has A lack of Blood,
With nearly no Blood in the Game its Good for those who don't like it, but if you want Realism its not there as far as Blood and Gore Go, TimeShift is a Bit more Gory, Blood splatters and when you Stick a Grenade on someone He’s Coming Apart! And With More Realistic Physics on the Gibbs it looks a lot more Realistic than most Games, and with Timeshifts 3D Decals Where when you Shoot a Wall or the Ground a 3D Decal will appear with actual Holes in the Ground and Vary Nice Effects , all i Can Say is They are no Better than Each other ?


More Action -

Same thing here? They are Both Action Packed Games With Crysis Fighting Koreans and Blowing things up and Grabbing Guy’s Buy the throat and tossing them Aside Like nothing ,To Timeshift Sticking Explosive Darts in Guy’s Heads And Sticking Grenades to them Blowing them
To Bits of Dog Food To Getting Grenades off of you by Reversing time to Running threw Lasers And Getting threw Sticky situations where Time Shifting is Needed Or Fighting TimeSlowing guy’s who are Vary Fast!. So Both Have Awesome Action!


Better Weapons -

TimeShift Has A Better Variety of weapons that are a lot more High Tech,as where Crysis Has more Normal Weapons like AK-47’s Basic
Handguns And Normal Rifles,there is only one High Tech Weapon That One of your Team Made From Something I'm not telling,
But As for Cooler More High Tech Weapons i Say Timeshift wins in all areas, But it Depends on what you like? As Far as looks Go They Both look Vary Good,
The Weapons in Both Games Look Almost Real.


Both Games Have Abilities Beyond the Normal Person,

TimeShift - Slow - Stop - Revers Time !

Crysis - Cloak - strength - Speed - Armor!

This is my Opinion of Course and should Not be Taken Seriusly.
Thanks for Taking the Time to Read my Opinion on Crysis Vs TimeShift!

Did you Guys Here About the Upgradeable Graphics Cards?


Taipei (Taiwan) - The vision of upgradeable graphic cards goes back to the late 1990s, when Micron Technology was experimenting with removable sockets. In 2006, both MSI and Gigabyte showcased upgradeable graphic cards, but their concepts, which were based on GeForce Go MXM boards, never took off. Earlier this year, Asus introduced a single board with three MXM slots for ATI Mobility Radeon 3850 or 3870 cards (upgradeable with future parts), and has now unveiled its single-MXM product.

Called Splendid HD 3850M, this card doesn’t look like anything special, until you remove the dual-slot cooler. What you can see then is a MXM card with a RV670 chip and 512 MB of memory attached to the PCB that contains the Splendid HD video processor: The video processor features 12-bit gamma correction, 7-region color enhancement and dynamic contrast engine.

The Graphics chip is clocked at 668 MHz while the 512 MB GDDR3 memory operates at 828 MHz DDR (1.65 GT/s). According to Asus, this MXM card will score around 600 3DMarks (3DMark06) more than ATI’s own reference design. But what makes the different, is the fact that this product is significantly shorter than the Radeon 3850 or 3870 ATI reference design.


The Asus Trinity card has three MXM slots. The company is currently selling the card with three modules based on the Radeon HD 3850.

Thanks to a modular design, you will be able to upgrade to upcoming MXM modules, including ATI’s RV770 and RV870 chips (Radeon HD 4800, 5800 series). Interestingly, there should be no issue to put a Nvidia-GPU based MXM module onto this card, since there is no limiting logic.

Using this design, you can imagine a future where users will upgrade their graphics experience simply by buying a small module. If you would have to buy just the GPU and memory, this approach would actually lead to less money being spent, since you don’t need to buy the complete card over and over again.

This new line of products appears to be much more than an engineering exercise. We hope to see future designs incorporating HDMI-in on graphics cards too, just like on the much anticipated professional sound card, Xonar AV1 .

Asus is now on track of doing something new, something that can put them clearly ahead of the competition.

Comments: 0 | by Zerk AMD Announces 6 And 12-core Opterons
Sunnyvale (CA) - AMD has updated its server processor roadmap with single-die 6-core and dual-die 12-core Opteron processors. The new processors will be manufactured in a 45 nm process that will be introduced with the Shanghai quad-core later this year.

When Intel rolls out its Nehalem processors later this year, AMD appears to be better prepared than in late 2006 when Core began its triumph and until today pretty much wiped out all of the gains AMD Opteron has made in previous years. On the server side, AMD will counter Intel with the Shanghai quad-core CPU, which will be based on the current Barcelona technology, but will be manufactured in 45 nm and bring performance and power consumption benefits.

According to vice president Randy Allen, Shanghai will deliver about 20% more speed than Barcelona. While the chip will remain compatible with the current Socket F (1207) platform, the L3 cache will triple to 6 MB, 3-lane HT3 support will be integrated and DDR memory support will be extended to 800 MHz devices. AMD claims that the idle power consumption of the new CPUs will be 20% below their 65 nm counterparts.

Production of the 45 nm chip, which has been sampled to server vendors, is scheduled to begin late this year, while first products should be surfacing in Q1 2009. In the second half of that year, AMD plans to release a single-die 6-core Socket F processor code-named Istanbul. Offered for two- and four-socket systems, the chip will be clocked at lower clock speeds than the quad-cores.

A completely new platform (read: a departure from Socket F) is planned to be introduced in 2010. Called the "Maranello" platform, AMD will then transition to DDR3 memory and four HT3 lanes. The multi-socket processors will include the monolithic 6-core "Sao Paulo" with 6 MB of L3 cache, new hardware throttling and power management features, as well as the dual-die 12-core "Magny Cours" processor with 12 MB L3 cache. Both processors will be built in 45 nm. At least at this time AMD does not anticipate any Nvidia chipsets to support this platform and says that it will couple the CPU with its own RD890S and RD870S northbridges as well as the SB700S southbridge.

Eagle-eyed readers may wonder about those production dates. A late 2008 45 nm volume production of these processors matches the information we received from industry sources and would mean that AMD will put 45 nm into production just about one year behind Intel. Intel plans on introducing 32 nm processors in late 2009 and AMD now indicates that its Sao Paulo and Magny Cours processors will be manufactured in 45 nm in the first half of 2010, leading us to believe that 32 nm won’t arrive until the second half of the year in a best case scenario. This could mean that AMD keeps up with Intel, but won’t gain any ground on Intel in this discipline anytime soon.

Randy Allen responded to our inquiry by saying that this assessment would not be accurate as server processors do not reflect the entire product range of AMD. However, at least for 45 nm, we have credible sources indicating that 45 nm AMD CPUs won’t arrive before Q4 of this year. The 2010 processors are too far out to speculate whether Intel will deliver them at the end of 2009 and whether AMD will have any 32 nm chips available in Q1 2010. But clearly, at least for now, the 2006 promises AMD made to analysts aren’t likely to be kept.

Until Shanghai arrives, AMD will have to survive with its Barcelona quad-core and it is not surprising that the company touts the power-efficiency drum to compare itself favorably to competing Intel products. Allen claimed that AMDs 75 watt part Opteron 2356 saves about 20% of power when idle, 14% in high-load scenarios and 10% under full-load when compared to Intel’s (45 nm) 80 watt Xeon 5440. The executive also noted that the Opteron delivers on average 13% more performance than its Intel counterpart.

Those claims are based on five SPEC benchmarks as well as two fluid dynamics tests. It often depends on a very specific need that exploits a very specific capability of a processor as the results in each of those benchmarks can change dramatically. While AMD claims a 19% lead in SPECompMBase2001, a 13 and 19% in SPECfprate_base2006 and SPECfprate_2006, we were not able to verify the latter two results. In fact, official SPEC results indicate that at least one Intel Xeon 5440 systems is 29% and 26% ahead of the best performing Opteron 2356 system listed.

With the massive release of "GTAIV" a much-loved title amongst many may just arrive unheralded: "Alone In The Dark". Having had a good run at the game as I've seen it, it's, well, great. But will it unfortunately slip by due to its' release date coinciding with GTAIV?
In AITD, you have the entirety of Grand Central Park in New York to play in...free to roam anywhere. Your inventory is listed on the lining of jacket for easy access (a great new feature)and this gives rise to multiple paths of achieving objectives. The setting now is present day, whereas the original was the 1920's and it is going to be an Action/RPG par excellence (on all platforms). Looks great, plays great...but did they look at Rockstar's release timetable? This just may be a great game that passes many by...please don't let it.
Comments: 6 | by herodotus Intel DX10 Drivers; NVIDIA Laughs
Chip giant Intel finally released a driver update that will enable DirectX10 on its chipsets that feature integrated graphics. Intel has been claiming DirectX 10 compatibility since the introduction of the G965 chipset in 2006, but has only recently released driver support for it. The update available at Intel’s website, is naturally a Windows Vista driver only and is compatible with Intel’s G31, G33, G35, Q33, Q35, G965, Q963, and GM965 Express chipsets.

However, NVIDIA has been reportedly been sending tech journalist tidbits on the performance of Intel’s DX10 update – mainly that there is no performance gain.

NVIDIA ran the usual benchmark of games under DX10 settings and to no surprise found Intel’s integrated graphics to be “downright incapable” of being used with DX10 applications.

NVIDIA goes on to say, “Saying GMA 3500 is DirectX 10 capable is kind of like saying Styrofoam is "nutrition capable". I guess Intel’s definition of capable is a lot different than our definition... a lot.” NVIDIA may be patting itself on the back for drawing that conclusion, but PC enthusiast have widely linked Intel’s IGP to poor performance for quite some time now. While NVIDIA should not be worried too much about Intel upping the performance on its IGP, they should be worried about Intel’s upcoming Larrabee project.

Larrabee, due in 2010, is a multicore discrete graphics initiative from Intel based off of the x86 architecture and supports OpenGL and DirectX instructions. Larrabee, has drawn much interest from the technology community and is one of the most anticipated product launches in the industry.

Jen-sun Huang, NVIDIA CEO, and the rest of NVIDIA have been on the initiative of opening “a can of whoop ass”, before Larrabee takes off. This latest act from NVIDIA appears to be just another example of the company’s aggressive PR plan — pushing the consumer to link poor graphics performance with Intel. Conversely, Intel previously stated in a press call that it thinks computer graphics is hitting a severe bottleneck and that is vector based solutions coming down the line will be the way of the future for 3D.

Comments: 1 | by Darkhan So you think you have the ultimate rig? Try this...
If one were to take all existing technologies with the aim of building the ultimate Beast these would be the items now available. The price would be inestimable and will not obviously be for sale, but its' still fun to lok at the specs and what would be required to run such a beast. These components were all manufactured by the way, and are not just on someone's design board.
1/ Intel's 80 Core CPU
2/ NVIDIA's Quadro FX 5600, each running at 384bit, 1.5 GB DDR3 Memory, and a bandwidth of 76 GB/sec. Imagine that in SLI mode
3/ 22.2 surround sound using Bluetooth 3.0 with upwards of 15 speakers
4/ Monitor - 3 metres in circumference with a resolution of 3840 x 2400
5/ Optimus Keyboard, completly programmable with screens on each key
6/ Nanocool's Liquid Metal Cooler (or one made by Sapphire Labs)
7/ 128 GB DDR4 Ram

Summing up the rig would be 80-core Intel 3Ghz, dual Quadro FX 5600, huge monitor, 24 speakers, 2.5 terabytes of ram and 128 GB DDR4 Ram.
Comments: 4 | by herodotus NVIDIA and Intel War To Start In 2010
The Intel-NVIDIA war heeds warning from CRT Captial Group, saying NVIDIA maybe providing motivation to the chip giant. CRT Captial Group analyst Ashok Kumar issued a warning stating the recent tirade by NVIDIA CEO, Jen-sun Huang may have adverse effects – angering a “huge, rich, motivated design powerhouse.”

Kumar believes NVIDIA’s current products are better than Intel’s offerings, but mentions Huang is greatly overlooking Intel’s lack of interest in the high-end 3D-gaming market, and thus the reason why NVIDIA is so successful.

Many saw Huang’s outburst as NVIDIA’s attempt to gain higher ground before an upcoming epic battle between NVIDIA and Intel. The battle is due out in 2010 and is known as Larrabee, a multicore x86 chip as a discrete graphics card from Intel. Along with support for OpenGL and DirectX, Intel announced the chip design will include SSE-like extensions known as Advanced Vector Extensions.

Early reports on Larrabee showed chip designs incorporating 16-cores, with each core capable of operating over 2 GHz. Intel claims Larrabee is capable to scaling to several thousand cores.

Larrabee’s main attraction so far has been its potential as a ray-tracing chip. However, in a recent blog by Tom Forsyth, a developer on the Larrabee project, Intel’s primary design focus was on rasterization since it would be the only way to render the large library of DirectX and OpenGL games on the market. NVIDIA’s ongoing “war” with Intel started with Huang adlibbing during a financial analyst meeting, stating NVIDIA was about to “open a can of whoop ass” on Intel.

Huang further belittled Intel’s graphics solutions as a “joke” and being abysmal in the visual computing world. NVIDIA’s VP of content relations added to the fire with a declaration that the CPU is dead.
Comments: 5 | by Zerk Publisher Announced for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky.
Its' been finally announced that DeepSilver will be the Publishers of the Prequel to "Shadow of Chernobyl" and will be available on PC and console at the end of August. They say worldwide, but I'd go with mid-August to late October here in Australia. The price is what interests me, as they are basically just polishing the old Engine and squeezing out a new story with gameplay that should've been available in the first. So the price of an expansion, or indeed released as an expansion as "Forged Alliance" was to SupCom would be nice to see. Hopefully we'll see more MP going this time around, and that it will be Mod-friendly.

Comments: 5 | by dej2 Dell XPS H2C Invades Alienware Territory!
Not that it Matters Because Dell is Alien Now But Anyway!,

Round Rock (TX) - Dell today upgraded its flagship desktop PC with the latest and greatest hardware to offer what the company calls one of the most advanced gaming platforms on the planet. In fact, the new XPS feels much more "premium" than the preceding 720-series, cost at least $5000 in the water-cooled edition and we have wonder: Why exactly would you choose an even pricier Dell-ienware system over this new XPS 730?

A lot has changed since Dell’s acquisition of Alienware. Dell always intended Alienware to remain a standalone premium performance brand while its own XPS brand was positioned as much more accessible mainstream brand for people who don’t care about the mass-market Dell label - it is a decision of choosing a Porsche rather than a Lamborghini. Hewlett-Packard had a different idea with its VoodooPC acquisition - instead of keeping the two PC teams separate, VoodooPC was integrated as the Formula 1 team into HP, which resulted in the creation of HP’s Blackbird 002 gaming system, which has been widely recognized as the most impressive gaming system available from a mass market vendor - leaving Dell’s XPS somewhat behind.

So it is no surprise that Dell is trying to catch up, visually and performance-wise, but this new PC creates an interesting question about Alienware’s future. While HP and VoodooPC span a wide range of gaming computers, ranging from a $2300 mass-market gaming PC all the way to ultra-exclusive $20,000 systems, Dell and Alienware are much closer and every upgrade of the XPS may create trouble for Alienware, since it is not perceived as much as a luxury brand as, low volume boutique PC builders such as VoodooPC (which also has remained a standalone brand for itself).

The new XPS 730 starts at $3999 for the air-cooled version and is priced from $4999 for the water-cooled PC. These base prices are substantially higher than what Dell charged for the 720-series ($1499 (720 air cooled, black), $1899 (720 air-cooled red) and $2949 (720 H2C), respectively). Detailed specification of the system were not available at the time of this writing (we will update this article as soon as they become available) and were limited to Nvidia’s 790i Ultra chipset, Corsair Dominator DDR3 memory, up to four hard drives, as well as a choice of four ATI GPUs (2x Radeon 3870 X2) or Nvidia SLI configurations. Dell will also add Intel’s 45 nm Core 2 Extreme processors.

Dell claims that it has redesigned the H2C cooling system to fit the ATX motherboard of the PC. The manufacturer said that the CPU coldplate now delivers more uniform cooling for the four processor cores, an additional coldplate cools the chipset and dynamic speed control monitors the water pump.

There are a few visual changes as well. According to Dell, the chassis made from 2.4 mm thick anodized aluminum is available in red or blue colors as well as brushed aluminum for the on the H2C version and in silver for the regular 730. All new 730s can be ordered with an optional X-view clear side panel.

If we look over to Alienware, the manufacturer offers its high-end Area 51 ALX CFX system with a 4 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor in a price range of about $5150 to $8200 - which is just about what you should expect pay for the water-cooled 730 series. The options for both systems are very similar, with Alienware’s only exclusive currently being the availability of (128 GB) solid state disk drives.

In a way, it seems to us that if both Dell and Alienware remain on this path, the two companies may have to either change their strategies or make a tough decision. At least from today’s view, there is little that differentiates Dell’s XPS from Alienware’s desktop computers and the little added exclusivity that Alienware is bringing to the table may be not be enough for buyers to shell out extra dollars. Dell is competing with its own Alienware much more than it was one or two years ago and it almost seems that Dell could be sacrificing Alienware for the sake of being keeping the XPS brand at the top of the market.

We could be wrong, but it surely looks like that either Dell or Alienware will have to adjust their product strategy to create enough value for both brands.

Have you ever actually read a person's blog or on line journal the ones that go into details about reality and what they are struggling through? We have become the ulitmate society when in a click of a few keys we can peek around the world at others lives and wonder and marvel and laugh at the things we find there.

Yes, some of what is written is tripe, it is not worth the first read let a lone a second visit, but out there in the cyber net of the web you can find some amazingly beautiful gems of reality, things that make you nod your head, bring a tear or a smile and bring a realization that regardless of distance, culture, color, creed, idealology we are all amazingy human.


I know it has nothing to do with gaming, but even that is a common thread we all seem to share we all enjoy playing...

I'm completely new to this site but it seems very impressive. I've been looking at their huge colection of mods for Elder scrolls 4 and was really amazed at the numbers of mods available.
If anyones a big fan of ES4 I'd love to hear from them.

Comments: 2 | by SabrinaFwarb Military History...for gamers.
A couple of years ago I joined an Aussie Clan dedicated to "CoD2" and "Vietcong" called Australian United Marauders (*AUM*). Some of you might have played against the Clan online as they rose to be Number 1. I resigned as an active member, along with the original founders (reasons left unsaid here), but remain a refular contributor to the Military Discussion Forum started by Red Coat. He and I are now Moderators of the Forum and have had many visitors comment on the content provided (debates on all wars in history, questions answered, hypothetical scenarios presented etc). All pertaining to games that are based on military history, sometimes straying into Sc-Fi as well. My question after all that is whether a Camp here dedicated to the same sort of thing would be worthwhile. With so many Nationalities represented by the Membership I believe a great deal of good writing and reading might be presented. I hold a degree in Military History and have been a Reservist Officer so I have a vested interest in keeping history alive and fresh today. Wonder if any others feel the same way. No point in starting a Camp if it's just for self=gratification, so any feedback would be very welcome (and no, it would not just be PC-themed nor restricted to dry fact). Just a thought...
