Geez Guys dont take it so personal:D
i was just trying to show what CAN be done with the P4 2.4

And Maybe the problems b people are having with the Beta.
Is more there lack of hardware than bad code on HTs part?

You have to admit to play these modern sims you have to step up to the plate and invest in some good hardware:aok

First of all, you wont find any "bad code" from HT's products. The whole of original AH is testament to that.

Second, they call you on your hooting over a nice system, and you still squeeze another "hey look at me!" comment in there.

You kinda sound like a 1950s american showing off to his neighbors.

Remember most players dont have the $$$ or the knowledge to put up with an overclocked monster machine...
they are still playing on the slower celeron's ,pent 3's, 750 t-birds , ect.

Id rather teach guys how to build a smooth running 1.5-2.0 ghz machine , thats a 250-500 dollar machine ... then have them spend 1000 plus on a monster that they have no idea how to fix ....let alone reset the bios jumper.. get my drift ??

the gammers have got to get above at least 1 ghz and 64mb video cards to play todays games ... for that is the standard nowdays thats the reason there having problems, there machines are 3 years old and below 1 ghz. (unless they have a compac then there machine is using 6 years old tecnology)

My lowly system:
Athlon 2400+ OC to 2.13 GHz (same as 2600+)
Asus A7N266-C
Radeon 9800 (Cat 3.7)
512 MB PC2100
Win 2k SP4
DX 9.0b

This is at 1280x1024 32 bit color with 4x Anti Aliasing and 4x Anistropic Filtering turned on. (My monitor refresh rate is 85 Hz BTW.) On a GeForce 4 4600 you'd be lucky to get 20 fps with these settings.

Your graphics card is holding you back...

You're an idiot!!
nowhere in my post did i say that HTC had ANY bad code.

Now here is a guy that can make a valid point without being insulting.

I see what you mean dude.
But there is something to be sqeazed out of every system:aok

That way you can get more milage from it.
I just try to be help full from my many years of mistakes along that way:rofl

Sorry bout calling you an Idiot Man.
But in no way was i impling that HT writes bad code.

Like me he can't spell fer watermelon but he is a wonderfull programmer.

Turn on anistropic filtering to 4x and see what you get. I'm curious to see the results. When I had a Ti 4200 overclocked to 4600 speeds turning on AF completely killed my framerate. (Just a note: AF doesn't work right on nVidia cards with some 40 series drivers. The 43.65s are an example.) If it works right 4x AF should really allow you to see more detail in the terrain. Unfortunately it's hard to see the difference on my screenshot, because the compression scheme JPEG uses has the effect of blurring textures.

Regardless, getting 75 FPS with a Ti 4600 with 4x AA turned on at 1280x1024 is excellent.

BTW: Prescott support on current socket 478 boards is by no means a certainty. The early power consumption estimates Intel released by which the MB manufacturers based Prescott compatibility on were revised a couple months ago and were revised again just a week ago or so. As far as I know, only the Asus P4P800-E is capable of meeting the revised specs. In addition because of the delay in Prescott's release schedule, it's unlikely Intel will release more than one or two Prescott cored P4s in socket 478. Intel is currently showing LGA socket 775 using the Grantsdale chipset for Prescott's projected 2.8 to 3.6 GHz currently scheduled Q2 2004 release on their newest roadmap. Given the latest delay in Prescott's socket 478 release to mid-Q1 2004, that doesn't give them much time to release more than 1 or 2 speed grades. Even the latest revision to the power specs would only allow for around a 3.4 GHz model to fall within the P4P800-Es maximum current specs. I hope Intel finds a way to get power consumption down a lot, or quite a few people who bought Springdale and Canterwood socket 478 boards recently are going to be angry or at the very least disapointed that their boards are not going to be compatible with Prescott. (Myself included, I've built a few P4P800 systems now.)
