Onboard Graphics VS ATi 9800 Pro

[Dav0s]

i couldnt believe the difference. its hard to show in a picture but ill try. careful the pics are big

notice that the weapons show up on the good version so you know what you are gettin!! also have a look at the detail on the metal on the side.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i couldnt show this in a pic but on the bad one, the manta fans dont spin they just shake. have a look at the new detail on the body of the manta and also the link gun.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

check out the lighting

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

look at the wheels!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the finale!! look at the grass, or the lack of it lmao!! i couldnt believe this!!!

yes people i did play this game with the bad settings you see in front of you. i am blaming that on my crapness hopefully now i wil get better sorry again for the pics.

NEW UPDATES!!!!

I ran a video stress test in CS:S before and after my gfx.

Onboard: 8.8 fps

GFX: 60.9 fps

onboard was unplayable and i thought it was ping problems but i think ping probs were caused by gfx.

OMFG.......the onboard graphics are evil...

Does this mean you are gonna be 10x better at UT now?

 

[Dav0s]

hell yeah!! up for a game 2nite?

 

[NickS]

make sure you crank ALLLLLLLLLLLL the settings @ 1024x768. it will play fine, trust me, i did it on my 5200 LOL. You can also put Anti Aliasing @ 4x and Anti-Triscoptic Filtering @ 8x.

 

[NickS]

well i couldnt do AA & AF on my 5200, but the quality settings -- yes

That's the perfect mobo. I have one, it OWNS. I love it, great performer. Dual Bios, XPress Recovery, etc. Feautre Rich and Great Overclocker. BTW, That picture is misleading, it really has a nice NICE alluminum chipset fan/heatsink that is controllable via Giga-Byte EasyTune 5.

And, this board is ClockGen Compatible for Overclocking Madness!
