this is pretty stupid lol. look at their DX10 test on Lost Planet. even 8800GTX Ultra CHOKE!!! hope they optimized the code before selling else. else, better go buyM$ powerpoint for slideshow...
Takkan.. 8800GTS 640MB got 16fps on 1280x960, 4xAA,8xAF that is so bad...

With many gamers now on 1280x1024 (19" panel) how to get good frames even on hi-end card (for now lah).

I think if use 8600GTS you can have slideshow oredi, better find the God Mode for Lost Planet or else you gonna get killed within 3 seconds of starting the game.

Meanwhile I will hunt for more benchies on this...

Having gone through the nvnews thread the FPS isnt so bad after all. Depending on the quality settings (and considering that its the 1st dx10 demo) the demo is playable. Just like Oblivion which pwns current generation cards.

There is also the fact that you need to keep your DX10 updated in order to play. What I really interested is to see 8600GTS performance on this demo. Perhaps if the performance is not too far off from a 8800 we can assume that its the demo itsself that probably needs more work, rather than the fact that the GC is not good enough.

Oblivion pwns current gen cards?  Oblivion is peanuts already even on current gen cards. I max out all the gfx options, 2560x1600 resolution n still the most demanding outdoor areas r showing 40-50 FPS which is plenty good. The less demanding areas average 100+ FPS. Oblivion is no big deal for current gen cards.

I was speaking in context of the average gaming card, perhaps not so good comparison, just that I love the game and the eye candy but hate the framerates on my rig now...

hy there... i got a Q, this guys who bought my MSI NX8600GTS complains that he can't use the card on his system, he said that his Abit NF-M2S imcompatible with the card, can someone clarify on this? because, AFAIK, there's nothing wrong with motherboard compatiblelity... icon_idea.gif... thanks in advance...
If the mobo cannot boot/display perhaps its due to the gc not properly inserted. Sometimes if the casing is crappy you try to align your card to the casing, and not
slot the entire card perfectly into the pcie slot.


Man I type too damn slow la, oredi solved...
