Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 Performance
As this is an RPG, high framerates here won't quite be as vital. In fact, they're even less important than in EQ2, as the ability to pause the game at will makes this far less of a twitch gaming experience. KOTOR2 provides very involving gameplay, regardless.

It's okay, Paul - we know how names with the first letter can get mixed up. ;)A few of the paragraphs are mine, but I doubt anyone would be able to pick them out. LOL. It's like "Where's Waldo": where's the paragraph written by a different editor?

Technical difficulties :-)We worked it out though

Whenever you see an article disappear like that, just know that they published it accidently. Although I must say, you guys have been having technical difficulties for quite a bit lately.I probably wouldn't mind if the ATI R520 article went up early due to technical difficulties. ;)

hehe ... If we could possibly get it done early, that might be a problem :-) But we'll be working hard and late on that one.rqle - Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - link
On the Power Consumption page, is that the WHOLE system power draw (cpu, hd, video card, ram, board) or is it just then Video card?rqle - Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - link

oh man.. these cards are supposed to cater to different price points, but now there's so many cards that it makes it even more confusing to buy... i'll stick with 6600GT because of purevideo (next pc = htpc)Jep4444 - Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - link
ATIs next generation cards are supposedly one upping nVidia with Pure Video with H.264 encoding and while your at it, you may want to look into the whole Avivo thing since it seems to be up your alley(although i guess alot of it is marketing, im just referring to the concept in general)that aside i don't know why you recomend the X800XT to those needing to play at those settings at all completely ignoring the X800XL which at times has reached price levels below $250
