Quote:While Fermi is being "unveiled" at PAX East, weekend after next, actual availability of the new cards has been pushed back to early-April. There also may or may not be enough of them released to make an actual splash in the market.Originally Posted by Nibb_Nibb
I highly suggest holding out until the end of March if you can. When nVidia releases their new card(s), it will probably flux the market some; making the cards you're looking at drop in price (if history stays true).
The MSRP on the 5850 has been officially changed to $300. This happened after many review sites came up with the same result that they could reliably and repeatably overclock random 5850s to 5870 performance. ATI was concerned that it would hurt the $400 5870 badly if you could get the same performance (with overclocking) for $250.Quote:If you're looking for a Direct X 11 card, I would hold out for several months. ATI's 5850 is selling ABOVE retail right now due to demand. The crazy part is the price keeps going up! Retail on the card is $259, while I paid $299. If you're just in it for CoX, Direct X 11 means nothing to you.
5850s are still selling for above MSRP, but only by 8-10%, not thirty-plus. -
Quote:On which of your characters? This is being used to compile a list of where the bug is specifically acting.Originally Posted by Minotaur
I just keybound the sync command to a key and pumped it a couple of times after zoning. I get it very occasionally now, but nothing like as bad as it used to be.

Quite some time ago, before the forum transition, a game bug appeared where specific characters on accounts (and all copies thereof) would de-sync on zone-in and be auto-re-synced several seconds later. This results in a rubber-band effect on every single zone-in. It was referred to as "the sync bug" or "the door bug". It's terribly annoying, persistent, and seems to affect only those characters that caught the bug long ago.
My main character ("ManEater.") has this bug. The Devs had made several attempts to fix it, the last one long before the forum transition took place. At the time Niviene posted a thread asking if any players were still experiencing it. I and several others posted that we were, but that was the last we heard about it.
Is anyone else still experiencing this bug and can we get a list of those characters who are affected? -
Quote:No, the mail boxes exploding and leaves falling and trash flying and such are what the PhysX gives you in this game. It's a direct effect of having the PhysX Engine installed. You can go to Add or Remove Programs (or whatever it is in Win 7) and it will be listed as "NVIDIA PhysX"; mine is shown as version 9.09.0814, consisting of all the engines up to 2.8.1 and is 121 mb in size.Originally Posted by Flameshot
I have a GTS 250 and PhysX does not work no matter what software/drivers I install. CoH was never programmed to function with anything other than Ageia's PhysX card. I do however see things like mailboxes exploding with letters, leaves falling etc. These are just side effects of having a card capable of those extra high settings. In your graphics settings "Ageia PhysX" is not greyed out?
You've got PhysX in CoX, congratulations. If you don't believe it, delete the listing for "NVIDIA PhysX", reboot, confirm it's gone, and go into the game. -
Quote:If you've got an Nvidia card of recent vintage, the PhysX software (including virtual machine) came with it. Otherwise you can get it off of Nvidia's website.Originally Posted by Flameshot
Seeing as CoH only supports a physical Ageia PhysX card, please explain how you've managed to not only turn it on without one (It's greyed out and or not available to most people), but turn it on so it functions with nVidia's PhysX.

Quote:Which, as I said, you can have just by turning on the option in the graphics menu. You don't need an Ageia PhysX card to run Ageia PhysX in CoX.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
As I said, no AGEIA PhysX.
-
"Cheap" upgrades can be done, but what actual budget would you be working inside of?
-
Quote:No, it doesn't. For CoX, the PhysX is done in a virtual machine that gets installed with the PhysX drivers. I have no Ageia PhysX card, but I have PhysX turned on in the game and see the effects (flying banana peels, etc). Also, any Nvidia card of 8xxx vintage or later will do PhysX acceleration for other games.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
No AGEIA PhysX (Requires an actual old-style PhysX card)

Hmmm? I sadly have only a vague knowledge of GI-Joe. Some friends of mine were big fans growing up, but for some reason I could never actually catch the show. I was more into Transformers and TMNT.
Did I inadvertently do a similar costume to someone? That'd be kind of weird, depending..

Quote:The GT240 operates around/below the 9800 GT "entry point" that Positron listed. The GT230 is below even that. Don't think that Nvidia ever makes understanding their products from nomenclature easy; quite the opposite.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
If you can afford to splash out a bit more, then maybe aim a bit higher in the 2-- range.
That said, it's withing the mid/upper limit that Posi posted a while back. So it might not be 'the best' (somethimg like the 280 onwards) but it'll be pretty damn good. -
Quote:That's a *very* basic graphics card. You might want to check out the Ultra Mode Shopping Guide thread that Positron started in the Developer's Corner, and you would likely get better answers to your hardware questions in the Technical Issues & Bugs section.Originally Posted by NeonPower
Hey, i'm getting myself a new pc cos my current one sucks for new games. I found a pc that is pretty descent in all aspects but i wanna check how the graphics card will perform in terms of going rogue.
The Card is a 1.5GB NVIDIA GeForce GT230 graphics card.
Thanx for reading =)

Quote:Darn it. I know there's another way to download the client, but I can't remember it >.<. Anybody else?Originally Posted by Sephir866
I'm in italy. Flat network. Maybe I don't explain me well.
The link called: Pc Client (but I try yours link to) allow me to download a file of about 10.9 MB (1.1 mb another link). Wehen I open this file start the istallation...I agree the license, and go on untill a window called CoH Updater opens. At this point the dowload of 3.8Gb file doesen't start. and say me the posted message.
With other file (1.1 Mb one) it doesen't ask me to install but directly open the updater. I'll try a lot of time in alot of way. Uninstall all everytime and let works every link but nothing

Quote:Compare the pictures and specs of the EVGA 9800 GTX+ and EVGA GTS 250. Neat hunh?Originally Posted by HavocX10
I have an evga 9800GTX+ and in preparation for GR I have been considering an upgrade. However, money is tight so I am leaning towards going SLI, which i have never done, over buying a higher end single gpu. Per the charts at Toms Hardware, for the 1680x1050 res comparisons,
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts...1050,1699.html
it seems that it would be best economically since the next jump up, nvidia or ati, are cards that are about triple the cost of a 9800 gt. My question is, not being a sli user, does the second card need to be as close as possible to the main card manufacture and performance wise? Newegg atm does not even have a 9800GTX+ choice and the 9800GT's are clocked lower than my factory oc'd card. Will the overall performance be pulled down to the lower card I presume? I'm sure I can find a 9800GTX+ somewhere, just trying to gather info on the way sli works so I get it right the first time around. Or, is there some reason my game plan is flawed to go sli. Thanks.
NVidia's marketing duplicity works in your favor this time. -
This community is very friendly to new people. So don't be afraid to ask questions and we'll keep offering suggestions until we figure out how to get you the download.

Quote:...should be fine as a first approximation.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
So, my home PC...
There should be absolutely nothing wrong with your CPU; that's plenty. With what we've been told in the Ultra Mode Shopping Guide thread, the GTX 260 should run Ultra Mode at some resolution. If it turns out that it doesn't run Ultra Mode at the screen resolution *you most want*, then the only component you should have to upgrade is the video card - and possibly the power supply depending on what you want to install.
But incendiary currency or not, I wouldn't spend any money to alter that system at the moment.
EDIT: Oh, and the GTX 260 you have is about three capability-tiers more powerful than the 240-mobile you're looking to buy. -

I have the ATI Radeon 3850HD AGP card on Win XP
So, I grab the 9_12 CCC download (Although, I have the 9_11 download, [which I never upgraded to] as well, in case 9_12 is no good for me right now)...
I remove/uninstall and delete all the existing legacy ATI files...
I install the 9_12 package...
And it just doesn't stick.
Windows tells me it found new hardware (My video card)... and wants me to run the software install that came with it (Which loads up the 8_4 drivers).
Comedy ensues...
My life flashes before my eyes...
I spend hours dancing around in this circle of madness.
I do searching... find mentions of needed hotfixes... links don't work... Not sure what I need to do...
Sanity: gone
Headaches: full on
ATI: killer of sweet kittens
I'm running on lack of sleep...
Lack of sustenance...
And I am holding very heavy hammers above my pc, ready to fix it how master fixes everything...
Help?
1) Are you disconnecting your network connection while updating so that Windows can't download what drivers it pleases because (horrors!) you don't have video drivers for a brief time?
2) Are you using Safemode to do the uninstall?
3) Are you using Driver Cleaner to remove all the various bits that the general uninstaller leaves behind?
