NFS Carbon-Some screen shots

[zCexVe]

Yesterday I played NFS Carbon to check my PCs' performance.These pictures are captured via Fraps 2.8.2 Free as 1280 x 1024 32b BMP and cnverted to 800 x 600 24b 50% quality JPEGs.Every setting is on and maxed out except resolution @ 1280 x 1024.I'm not much pleased with sum graphics details:sorry:.see for ur self.

U can see that clearly frames r wasted here.sumtimes it goes to 177 even.S*** happens.

We can make the gal more realistic..eh?They use their own technology to produce these.

Taking a curve.U can see even @ 125 speed they have motion blur.:(:growl:

Driving isnt easy:D:D:rolleyes:.148 and cant see anything.In the highways @ 285 no blur @ all.:confused:Not for the ppl like me for sure as I hav shortsight.And see that how clear is the rear view mirror...I've seen in gamesthat they r a little bit blurred too.Dont know whether its a programming error of that game:D

This is good for a DX 9.0C fire.

So how was ur experience???Like to see ur game screens too:love:.I just now came to see the real graphics ..........

Here's mine. Motion Blur is not supported. However, the motion blur in Carbon is too much. In NFSMW, it was perfect.

Size reduced yo 25% (0.5x1280 % 0.5x1024) and 90% jpg quality

Hw much? Whr?

Here is the specs.(I didn't type them.Sapphire had.)
And wt are frequencies?? (core/mem)

[gayannr]

Max

[zCexVe]

And wt are frequencies?? (core/mem)
Stock 2D 500/594,3D 921/900.I oc 3D clocks like 948/900,/921/919,948/938.
Stable range for me is 921~988/900~950.Note that Mem clocks are in MHz value. X 2 for the DDR value.

Add tax+shipping to that :P :P.It will go over 210USD.BTW the newegg version dont hav the power cable.Its 6 USD + Tax+Shipping.

AND the ASUS card is available here for 64000 LKR.:lol: :lol:

Then the cooling problems.HISs' ICEQ3 stock cooler (I'm very envy of the HIS owners) and Powercolors' stockfitted in accelroX2 are the only stock coolers that can cool the vga.If not it goes into 95C when in 3D.:lol: So u have to buy Fans/RAM sinks and design the airflow.That is a cost too.For me I use an Antec Vcool and a LinkDepot 120mm 77CFM blowing into it.That can keep the VGA @ 54 with stock fan @ 40%

This is Awesome GPU... Price is About $180 in Newegg..
The Sapphire version and it really is a good card for its money, although the temps get a little high. I hear the cooler on the HIS (IceQ Turbo) is better, so it probably is the better option.

7900GTO = X1900XTX
7900GTX = X1900XTX, slightly slower than X1950XT on some game
7950GX2 > or = X1950XTX the 7950GX2 is better than X1950XTX in some games, others they are equal. In oblivion they are equal.

In general, nvidia cards perform better than ATI cards for a given generation. Especially if the game uses OpenGL. In general ATI cards have better Image Quality (IQ) than nvidia cards for a given generation. The stats I posted above take these things into consideration.

If I were you I would get the cheapest card that you can live with until you decide to buy a DX10 card in a year or two. I think maybe the 7900GT, maybe even a 7900GS. Something that can overclock, has good performance, but you can't play with ALL eye candy turned on. The DX10 cards are gonna be here in the next 6 months (they are here now, but only two), in 18 months they'll be common place. Don't spend your whole wad on a DX9 card now

thnx... its really nice

No need of experts to say that.Even a dumb fool can knw that it is the most efficient bang for the buck.:D :D
But IMO Zalman VF 900CU led version is good.But it is bit pricier.And remember either u purchase U got to get some RAM sinks to cool off the 8 RAM chips.
