haha nice man

and now you are convinced of the failure that the fx series is...

Ok i admit now. my 5500 got 45 fps on Painkiller on 800 by 600 and medium details. I got 140-160 fps on those settings i set them up to 1024 by 768 and high. omg so much better looking at it stays at a solid 80 fps! :)

[Uranium-235]

the FX series wasn't a failure. You can't compare the 5500 with a 9800. They're just not ment to compete with one another

[Jason425]

just about! the 5800 was supposed to compete directly against the 9800 pro.... the 5500 isn't even close.. and yes, it was a failure.. the 5200 is like a g2mx... the 5950 is like a 9800 pro.. almost.. :/

The biggest failure of the fx series was its main selling point... dx9 games... that's why it's a failure.. there are few that would disagree with that other than for the sake of the argument

[StinkyMojo]

5950 is like a 9800 pro..


umm facts only please? a 5900XT is about equivalent to a 9800 pro. 5950 ultra can be compared to a 9800 xt

[eviltechie]

stinky and uranium said what i wanted to say as well
lol

FX isnt a failure

although 9800Pro is a success
but still that doesnt make 5900XT a failure

saw the 5900 on action on MOH PA. ran ok. on my system MOH PA should run like great! :)

[Jason425]

you guys need to wake up... the nv3x series has to play hl2 in dx8 or else it would be unplayable....

[StinkyMojo]

its very playable, i tried it, it just isnt as fast as dx9 cause of only 4 pipes

[Jason425]

of course it's playable because it's in dx8 mode! If it did 9 it'd get ass-raped! go take a look at anandtech and they'll tell you all about it...

[StinkyMojo]

oh my god.. read please..
i was talking about dx9..

[Jason425]

NVIDIA’s highest end card at the time, the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, could not even outperform a Radeon 9600 Pro in most tests – much less anything from ATI at its price point. Even though we haven’t shown it here (that’s coming in Part II), the situation has not changed for NVIDIA’s NV3x line of GPUs – they still must be treated as DirectX 8 hardware, otherwise they suffer extreme performance penalties when running Half Life 2 using the DirectX 9 codepath. To give you a little preview of what is to come, in DirectX 9 mode, the GeForce 5900 Ultra offers about 1/3 of the performance of the slowest card in this test. If you’re unfortunate enough to have purchased a NV3x based graphics card, you’re out of luck with running Half Life 2 using the DX9 codepath (at any reasonable frame rates).

you try reading...

[StinkyMojo]

yeah, i know what other people say, i dotn care cause i already tried it myself, all im saying is that i tried it with dx9 and got playable framerates (35-40) on all setting low

[Jason425]

35-40 is a crock of crap and is barely playable.. they were considering over 60 tolerable... (That guy I bought the x800pro for refunded my $ because the card is broken sigh..)

[StinkyMojo]

i was sorta thinking that it was too good to be true...

[Bullet-T00th]

I got a radeon 9800 pro and found that it was a lot better than the old fx 5800 that i had
