Quote:I hope there will be a Dummies guide to Ultra Mode as well.Hi all.
I've done some asking in the Technical and Devs' corner forums, but I have to admit to still being somewhat in the dark over Ultra Mode and just what does what depending on the setting (presumably there will be varying degrees of quality sliders like in regular graphics mode) and the video card.
And I know nothing bar nothing about Raedon video cards beyond that people have said they've been problematic with CoH before. I am rather hoping for a Dummies' Guide to Ultra Mode that someone will write up to help me (and other people a bit confused) find their way to a new video card and if so, which one.
Can anyone shed light in a way that doesn't require me to have a degree to understand?

Evil is real defined by the viewer, there for it can be all or none of the above.

I will be honest a majorty of my female characters are made to be attraive to me, I mean really would you want to spend hours playing a character you couldn't stand? -

Heros Villaisn it all realtive. whiole I have no Villian in Paragon [I do have some reformers. SS officer, Viking, etc.] I do have some heroes, or at least some very gray people. I spoken about Daimyo Shi and Shi no Oni but also have Marcus Calsis, a roman saved by Shi no Oni in and undocumented misadventure. He runs around doing Tasks for Shi No Oni, some are not very heroic and he doesn't like them but he owes his life to Shi no Oni.
Lady Bloodclaw is a pro-mutant activist she has links to Arachnos because of their "fairer" in her mind view of mutants. She much rather simply be a talker but well there a large amount of fear mongrling outside Paragon in regards to Mutants and in her native UK [where weapons are even less common]. -
Viture is really the only server I seriously pay money for more slots at this point. granted I have victory and Champion near maxed out on current slots as well [just not filled]

Quote:Was most of that in Swihilli? Anyway I sort of get what you are saying [I think. Here are my Card Spec right of the box, which I am glad I kept.Here's a dirty little secret about most video games out today.
Video memory doesn't actually mean that much.
There are several other limitations in the graphics card architecture that will affect performance long before video memory size comes into the equation, such as the bit-size of the memory controller and the memory controllers speed. Sure, you can shove a full gigabyte of memory onto a 64bit or 128bit memory controller... but really, putting more than 256megs on a 64bit bus, and 512megs on a 128 bus... and in practical use... you'll just never see a benefit.
In the specific case of the 9800 GT, the weaker model, it had a 256bit memory controller with memory generally clocked at 900mhz (factory reference), and a memory controller speed of 1.1ghz. Depending on whose card you bought, those speeds could be higher or lower, and it did come in both 512meg and 1024meg memory configurations.
However... that only memory space really turns into an advantage if you are running in really high resolutions, or are applying a bunch of filtering affects. On a 9800 GT, for most games, you'll only see a performance difference either by cranking Anisotropic Filtering and Anti Aliasing up, or by cranking the resolution.
Will it matter in CoH?
Well. It doesn't really matter in UT3, Borderlands, BioShock 2, or any other popular game. Okay, you might have to run with only 4x AA and 8x AF with only 1680*1050... but... come on... that's not really a bad thing is it?

That are the exact specs from the box!
I run City of Heroes at 1680 x 1050 which is my monitor's limit. -
It have to be fully fuctionall for 100 million but I be willing to fork it over.

Question that will sounds stupid but I was looking at the Compasian of Graphic card posted on page one and did the 9800 GT come in both a 512 and 1 GB format? I have the latter and well i wondering how well it will handle Ultra mode.

Daimyo Shi is techincally a hero seeking to undermind Archnos from the Inside. Of course he has slide into darkness on the way and dragged much of his Clan the Koga in as well. He has much in common with Scirocco even as he betrays him he fails to see it.
Shi No Oni is becoming a Hero, he is my Villain 50 but his efforts in Vanguard and the Midnighters have atleast instilled a certien affection of Humans in him [He is a Japanese Oni [Demon]. He begining to Identify with Humanity is ways that he hasn't before.

My opinions on Duel Pistol
It is pretty, and Awesome Visually. Occationally I find myself going "They really watched to much Wanted and Matrix when they made this set." I do like the set not being so static in the motions. My Thug MM is jealous!
Damage uh yeah that math I really don't give a damn, it kills things that all that required.
It not an Endurance Hog, I started a Character with this set and ice as a Corruptor on red side. I think the most I ever used of a Blue Bar in a combat was 2/3 and that with no slotting, I might actaully skip Stamina some thing I never do. -
Quote:Funny I teamed with Rokstedy1 this weekend on virtue.Yes, some Freedom players have been coming to Virtue, I can tell with names like Rokstedy1, RedRectal Rams, & FreedomRocksYou
(Course the RedRectal Rams, might been Virtue local, that actually might of took some thought)
Dont get me started on the god awful random costumes...

I had some lag and at least three Mapserves which is some thing I never get normally, I did mange to never get disconnected during those mapsevers which I was very happy about. Some rubberbanding too which was annoying. -

I had times were Teaming was easy and then there were times I had to search from place to place to get a team. Drove me nuts and because I was doing mid level guys mostly I didn't want to lead [Should have led with Daimyo Shi would have got more level that way.] Teamed with Smurphy at one point that was an awesome team, just kept rolling! I kept to my nearly bazzar rule of switching Characters ever team break up. Several Characters got Bling badge, the one on Smurphy's deam got both of the first Debt badges. -

Like Atlas no Cap is a large place with Crossover traffic because of the University, Vanguard, ferry and the market Place. That as close as it gets.

I am serious anyone trying to unload a base I got some serious coint if the base is up for it.

I was here for the great Gift of Prestage back two christmas ago and during that time I grabed a base [or two Virtue] on all the servers. So Since then I been running personal Super groups and the bases generally are fully fuctional even the Hero side ones. However on Virtue I have one hero, I don't want to move her to one of my bases because she the only hero I have on Virtue and I might want to do stuff on the blue side. Currently the Super Groups she in don't see eye to eye. nothing to major but I like to have my own place and enjoy the freedom I have with my personal Super group How ever I don't want to start a Zero. Now once I bought a Supergroup base on Virtue [Red Side] But I don't remeber what part of the forum I posted that request on. It not one of those thing that you do very often. So anyone know what the going rate of a decent working base on Blueside Virtue is in Inf is?
