    I guess some games just demand more than others. For example, I can run Half Life 2 at 1280x960 with all settings on highest (except no AA or AT, never tried putting them on either) with no framerate drops, but UT2k4 has to be run at 1024x768 for decent performance...

    Well, yeah. Some games are GPU limited whereas some are system limited... :D

    half life 2 runs great no matter what system you have.

    not really. the dx7 mode runs at 50+fps on geforce2's. although it does look alot worse in some areas.

    When you say all, thats really stretching it. Try playing that on Intel Extreme Graphics... :lol:

    well that one supports half of it i guess. the new one can do sm2.0 in software.

    i know i know. but i never said it was better. ;)
     
  11. what about the intel extreme graphics 2? is it any better, or is the rs350 better?

    well extreme graphics 2 is just an update to make it compatible with SOME dx9 features. sm2.0 but it does it in software.
