i showed benchmarks where you can see in 15 games and 3 different resolutions that the cards aren't so different to explain the 45% higher price. Where you see the "day and night" difference... i can't see.
maybe it's night.

admitting to speak out of one's ass takes balls.
cheers to you

meh
the 20% (at most) difference in performance is not worth the price difference (75 vs 109, ~45%)

it can prepare you for how the car will react and how to correct it.
then, you can go and do that in real life

it's not really a good idead to start experimenting in real life without having any idea what will happen.

that, alone, is very valuable.

check if you have digital throttle/pedals, if the driver allows seperate control of throttle and brake, configure lfs properly and redo the calibration thing ( unlock, pedals all the way in and out, wheel left and right and then lock).

i have that card. very fast. paired with an arctic cooling accelero s1.rev2 and a slow 12cm fan is dead silent.

press 'unlock', then 'recalibrate axes'. at that point, steer your wheel completely left, then completely right and finaly press every pedal fully and then release it. then press 'lock'. Also you might need to change the settings in the controller's control panel (if it has any).

it has an agp slot so there are options.

i found out some info about your system, it looks like a low profile card will fit in it.

it would help a lot if you could take a photo of the power supply of your computer so we can take a look at its capabilities. there's a sticker somewhere

we also need to know how much you are willing to spend. as i said earlier, $50 is enough to play lfs quite nicely. you could do it with $40 too, i guess.

it says it has a 175W power supply... my god...

Options -> Controls -> Unlock, 'recalibrate axes' (do it) then lock them again.

tell us how it goes

stop reading right there.
kudos for the lengthy post, sorry i won't read it and sorry i have to be so condescending again [size](glancing at it, seems off topic, anyway)[/size]

i really really really really do not want to sound condescending or anything, but i would not trust any kind of "fix it all" software. once compromised, you can not trust anything on it, no matter how much you fix it.

your other advice, however, is very very good

Nick, can you take a photo, a high res photo of your motherboard? i am particularly interested in this: (pic to follow soon)

go here

download that

burn it to an empty cd

boot from it and see how that goes

when it boots, do what it says.

stonedome, which one is it?


if it is the minitower version, (the one on the right) you can get an agp card that will be cheap and good enough for lfs

how much will you spend? for $50 you can get an ati x1650 or ati 3450 (yay! woohoo!) or an nvidia 6200 (boo! blech!)

only problem... does the 845g do agp 8x? :/

an overclocked p4 with HT might handle 20 AIs

i don't care much about low speed in lfs

if it means the devs need to choose between this or something else, i'd prefer if they ignored it and work on something else.

it's not as if we're going around in lfs at 10kph

no jams either.

however, i STILL think lfs would be valuable in teaching people driving and what the car does when it goes off limits. (with custom maps, traffic that goes abiding the law with someone breaking the law sometimes, etcetcetc)

@renvon: interesting do the fps drop at T1? it's a wild difference, 3fps to 35fps which can not be explained easily unless there is something very wrong with bangerboy's pc (and we are not talking only about slight diferences in hardwre spcs)

@foilpact: read the previous thread, you can see what is the fastest cpu his mobo supports.

@bangerboy: dude, what fps do you get at starting ?

bangerboy here gets single digit fps with 20 cars.

Quote from The Very End :Have not downloaded the episode, will be waiting til they start airing the normal episodes again.

watching 227 now, i have to say i find it a bit interesting.

better than fillers with stupid "mini arcs"

this one shows what had happened just before the start of Bleach

doom3 on a geforce 420 go?

you can't possibly be serious

maybe 15fps at 640x480 and tweaked to look like doom1/2 ...

oooof here we go again

amount of memory won't be of any help.
as long as it's 512MB, or more, you are... ok (just tried and lfs with 12 FBMs has 244MB peak working mem)

loading the game will be slower (since whatever is loaded will have to be swapped out to the hdd which is a slow process), the less ram you have, but the fps you will get eventually will be more or less same, no matter if you have 512MB or 12GB
Last edited by george_tsiros, . Reason : more sensible minimum RAM quantity
