Okay, I'll try :)
If anyone wants to say something to me that's OT, I'd be happy to receive a PM. Thanks!
BTW, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'm just checking, is the 7800 with T2 question considered OT? It's your thread, so I'm asking you.

I haven't been here for a long while. Actually I haven't even played almost any games for a long while, not since my Geforce 4200 Ti died on me. :(
For a while I played on my laptop from work that has a GeForce 4200 Go. But alas Thief DS did not run on it, it crept. :( I got about 11 Fps and it was not very fun.
Well now I'm back playing games and I have new computer that runs Thief 3 rather nice. :D
Graphic card is a XFX GeForce 7800 GT
Processor AMD 64 X2 +3800
1 Gb of memory
320 Gb HDD

P4 2.8 HT
Asus P4E800 Deluxe
1024 Mb Corsair RAM (400 mhz)
R9800Pro Ice-q
250+120 Gb SATA2 HD
3dmarks: why bother.
Prefer to run T3 @ 1280x1024 with evertyhing turned on, but runs ok (not silky smooth though) in 1600x1200 aswell.
T2 @ 1600x1200 16x AA/AS "try to spot a pixel if you can" ;)
HL2 @ 1280x960, 2x AA/AS, everything maxed out except HDR lightning.
Doom 3 @ 1024x768 HQ no AA/AS (Never play it though, just for comparison)
I usually default my games @ 1280x960 (my desktop resolution) and hq settings. I have yet to find a game that doesn't run nicely with these settings. (Never tried F.E.A.R, though)

P.4 3.4 GHz
Ati X300
1024+ someodd RAM
I don't keep the resolution high because otherwise the game locks up.

Thanks, it's nice to be back. And certainly nice to see that this place survives.

Aha, another T3 performance thread. I can just quote myself from that other one just around the corner.
Quote:
I suppose this "body awareness/movement physics" thing consumes a lot of processor performance, since Invisible War built on the same technological base (and no actual player body in first person view) gives me personally better FPS at 1280x1024 and all details on max (A64 3000+, 6600GT128MB, 1GB RAM). That's why I decided to play TDS in 1024x768 and Multisampling 2x. The FPS gain is significant. Also Bloom is a far lesser performance eater than Multisampling, but I prefer MS over Bloom, which makes all colors kinda washed out.

With regards to the 7800 ive not had any issues like that, either with a single card or in SLi mode. I think you may have a corrupt driver install. get the latest drivers from nVidia's site.
Thanks for your suggestion. However I don't believe that's it. Other have had this problem too. (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103319) I made a thread about it a while back and was told that all 6xxx series cards had that problem. I was wondering if the 7800 had the same problem.
I took a screenshot from Running Interference (

I hope John P will forgive me for direct linking. His textures are great BTW

What I'm pointing out in the screenshot is the sky.
What I'm really seeking is someone with a 7800 to go ingame and see what the sky looks like (the transparancy of things is affected too). I was fortunate enough to find someone who is willing to buy my 6800 from me, but I don't want to get another card before I know it works.
I hope this makes things more clear :)

T3 doesnt run smoothly for me either, but I think I have other issues. With such a nice video card, I can see a potential bottelneck in the processor (even though its overclocked.) also, in a few newer games I have seen a noticeable improvement in upgrading 1GB of ram to 2GB and creating a fixed swapfile of 4096MB. You could spend 300 - 400 dollars and compliment that video card very well by upgrading the processor and even running at stock speeds, and also doubling the memory. Prices have fallen drastically on older, yet faster AMD's.

hallo triple post
Also lolling at the sticky suggestion, what this thread really needs is a bloody big lock.
