video card 4 vc


Recommended Posts

I found getting a motherboard with a decent bus speed makes all the diff. No point upgrading anything if your motherboard can't even transfer the data fast enough. and a lot of data it is!!!! You can have the most kick arse video card but it would be no good in a slow piece of shit computer.

just because you FPS is low doesn't mean you need a new video card :wink: I also find that sound cards laaaaaagggg computers a lot if all the extra soundcard shit is turned on and you don't have a soundcard with hardware excelleration... (BF1942 very bad for this)

Rule of thumb:

"Your computer is only as fast as your slowest component..."

You're a real no brainer ay? Do you understand what people even are saying when they are leaving a post True?

"Your computer is only as fast as your slowest component..."

I was trying to explain that if you've got, for example, a piece of shit ati rage128 card and a 3Ghz cpu the video card is still gonna perform as it's maximum capabilites allow. having a 3Ghz processer of going to make no diffecence because the video card is a slow piece of shit. You're not gonna get 100Fps if it can only do 25. Can't turn shit into gold.

So what... why dont you say our computer is only as fast as our harddisk then

It is! What a dumb thing to say. If it is reading off the drive then the rest of the computer is going to recieve the data as fast as the drive will go. If a hardrive is better than then rest of a crappy computer then Each component in a system could potentially bottle neck the data flow. That's why a computer is only as fast as it's slowest components.

As for the floppy drive - if you where running a game of a floppy drive do you think that it's gonna load as fast as the compter can handle? No. It loads as fast as the floppy drive allows.

Like I said in a nother post True if you're not helping shut up and let people who are trying to help say their thing instead of trying to stick your finger up their ass for trying. If you're gonna post do it constructively instead of being a dick about it.

are you saying it matters what the processor is?

No that's NOT what I was saying! Yes it does matter, but every component in your machine matters. Even if your machine is made up of the most expensive super fast components, even then the slowest components are still going to be your system's bottle neck. GET IT? So when you want to upgrade your machine you upgrade the slowest part to get the most out of an upgrade. Jesus can't anyone understand F*CKING ENGLISH?

The game looks great on my TRS-80. look here is a screen shot

Dude, I still have a TRS-80 lying around somewhere. I bet you've never even seen one. I know my computers. I know how they work. In fact I work with them every day. You guys seem to think you know everything but if you can't understand what I am saying in children's English then you are DUMBER THAN I THOUGHT!

Leave this thread in the hands of people who know what they are talking about.

I thought my last post what dumbed down enough so a mentally crippled child could understand it. No, obviously not. So I can easily say that I can't leave it to people who know what they are talking about because the people saying it DON'T HAVE A CLUE! I know what I am talking about. I've been f*cking with computers since 1979 and it's my f*cking job! My TRS-80 was actually my first 'desktop' computer :P

Why can't people on these forums be a bit more constructive rather than spell checking other people's post and criticizing what people have to say if they are trying to help. As to the stupidity of the replies to my posts. YOU ARE F*CKING RETARDS. Read the words in the post properly, THEN make a constructive comment instead of trying to F*CK me off. Or start learning your A B C's

To all those who think they know everything:

You don't know everything.

Even I don't know everything.

wow, lmao, u ppl need to calm down.

and yes, if ur computer is "slow", upgrade the worst thing 1st. like if u got 64megs of ram and ur running xp w/ 1000 ie sesions in the background because of your lame attempt to multitask 1000 porn sites, then your computer will be slow. gettin 64megs more will help alot. and u might as well upgrade that 4 gb 1000 rpm hard drive.

(no i dont know whats going on so i just had to get that out of my system)

(hey look@ 223 posts! a magic number for vlsm!!)
