TechNews - Far Cry 2: GPU and CPU benchmarks - tech|
| (hx) 02:10 AM CEST - Oct,17 2008 |
- NVIDIA GeForce 9300 Launch Roundup -
The GeForce 9300 chipset is 20% faster than the Intel G45 chipset across
the board. By this performance metric, it is likely that the faster 9400
boards will outstrip the G45 chipset by 35% or more across the board. This
is a very impressive feat for an integrated graphics card to say the least.
Had the GeForce 9300 and 9400 come out when the G45 launched, Intel might
have had a real problem. Intel is rumored to have a new CPU coming out for
the high-end and we’ll see how that translates with integrated graphics at
that time.
- Apple's all-new MacBook Pro packs new NVIDIA GPUs, glass trackpad -
Apple's
MacBook Pro using NVIDIA's new 9400M GPU + chipset 1-2 punch for
integrated graphics, supplemented by 9600M GT switchable discreet graphics
chip for heavy lifting, and pumping out those graphics over a Mini
DisplayPort connector, if you'd like to supplement the LED backlit screen.
As expected there's an SSD option, with drive accessible underneath the
battery. The 15.4-inch base model retails for $1999, with a 2.4GHz Core 2
Duo processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and both GPUs. Step up to $2499 and you get a
faster CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 320GB HDD. The 17-inch MacBook Pro comes in a
similar configuration with a 2.6GHz processor, starting at $2799, but sans
the redesign and GPU love.
- Far Cry 2: GPU and CPU benchmarks -
All-clear: You
don't need a high-end PC to run Far Cry 2 at playable framerates - even
the 'Ultra High' Settings are far from the brutal system requirements Crysis
imposes. Even with a Core 2 Duo E6600 or an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ and a Geforce
9800 GT/8800 GT or a Radeon HD 4850 you can play the highest settings.
- Dell documents reveal 12-inch netbook -
The Mini
12 (or Inspiron 1210) will feature an Intel Atom Z520 or Z530 processor,
1GB of memory, some type of hard disk drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Windows Vista
and-wait for it-a 12.1" display with a 1280x800 resolution!
- Leaked Screens Showing NVIDIA Multi-Monitor SLi - VR-Zone has
posted a preview of
NVIDIA's 180.10 drivers that apparently have multi-monitor SLi support
- Adobe Flash 10 delivers GPU acceleration - Adobe's Flash Player
10 is
available from this page for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux - including Ubuntu
7 and 8. It delivers GPU acceleration, however,
developers
actually have to enable GPU acceleration manually in the code.
- First Firefox 3.1 beta speeds up JavaScript -
The Firefox 3.1
beta scored 1873.0ms, slightly ahead of Chrome's 2212.2ms and well past
Firefox 3.0.3's 3792.6ms. It's not just benchmarks, either-TraceMonkey makes
GMail and iGoogle feel incredibly snappy. The Mozilla guys reportedly think
TraceMonkey has room for extra optimizations, so the final Firefox 3.1
release might be even speedier.
- Microsoft aiming to deliver Vista SP2 before Windows 7 -
Microsoft's goal
is to deliver both SP2 releases before it delivers Windows 7 in order to
lessen confusion among users as to whether to deploy Vista and Windows
Server 2008 - or to wait for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (a k a
Windows 7 Server). - - Currently, Microsoft is believed to be attempting to
RTM Windows 7 in the second half of 2009. The Softies have said Windows
Server 2008 R2 is on track for 2010.
- eCoupled Wireless Blender Demo - Fulton Innovation (video) -
The technology
behind wireless powered devices like this blender is cool and the fact
that it can be used on everything from lighting to laptops makes it even
cooler.
- Freaky Robot Girl (video) -
The robot
Repliee R-1 looks like a five-year-old girl except for being freaky
looking and covered in silicone skin. Few people are fooled into thinking
she's real but it was made to be life-like to put people's mind at ease. The
Repliee R-1 robot blinks, stands, and wears clothes.
- Danielle Lloyd sexy in Nuts magazine for October 2008 -
Here's Danielle
Lloyd as a naughty teacher in the latest Nuts Magazine. And once again,
Danielle is covering her boobs :P
- Ivanka Trump Max Magazine Sexy Pictures -
Real life
business woman and celebrity hottie Ivanka Trump finds her photos
gracing the pages of the October issue of Max magazine. And all I can say is
it's about time Ivanka shared her beautiful self with the world again!

Well i've made my mind up with the Radeon HD 4870 512mb. (currently the best bang for buck graphics card out there)
When you finaly make a decision on hardware then stick with it.
If not you will be continualy stuck in a loop of "this mobo, cpu etc is better than the one i had in mind" scenario. You can't actualy win with PC hardware, it evolves daily and prices go up/down just as fast. One of the main reasons i got fed up upgrading annualy.
Make a decision and then don't look back :wink: Or | |
