newsflash, guildwars isnt free.
I meant without a monthly fee. And it CAN be free, besides that.

I'm downloading this game called Planeshift, anyone played it?
If you guys want a real good free rpg try Knight-Online, only problem is that you have to have a decent video card and at least 128 ram. I'm pretty sure this is the site, it's changed since I've last been on it though: http://knightonlineworld.com

Hrm... what's the catch on that Knight-Online game? It sounds interesting, albeit it talks about a click & buy method... hinting at costs somewhere in the game.
Which is completely useless.Josh said:
Decent videocards don't even use all of their 128 MB these days, putting 256 in them is completely useless and only serves as a marketing trick, really.
Putting 256 MB in the high to really high-end cards is useful, and 512MB is only useful for the extremely high-end cards.
Ummm, Sander, I believe they are talking about regular RAM, not video RAM...
Ehm, DDD, I believe I am as well.DirtyDreamDesigner said:
In fact, I'm absolutely certain about it.
See, all that more RAM on video cards really doesn't help in most cases. It really doesn't.
256 MB is mainstream, 512 high end
by next year it'll probably be 512 mainstream, 1gb high end.
seen the new vram? 512 mb of delicious GDDR4 per chip

1GB system RAM is require for every MMO because of the constant loading zones.
Depends on what's mainstream.SuAside said:
If you call a 6600GT mainstream, then 128 Megs is mainstream. 256 MB becomes useful a ways after that (6800GT, I believe), but there are high-end cards without the 512MB as well (7800GT).
Yes, DDD, a lot of low- to mid-end cards have 256 MB versions. However, these versions have no or barely any performance increases over the 128MB versions of them. Mainly because they can't process 256MB of textures fast enough for it to be useful.
the actual thing with this older high vram cards is that in the 128mb version you had decent vram & in the 256mb version you had cheapass vram. making the card effectively slower in 99.99% of all applications. but hey, thats marketing kids. bigger is always better.
and Sander, in my book the 6600GT is already low end. (which is purely personal taste ofc, since there are no rules to what low end, middle end & high end actually are)

Have you been using Ratty's Reading Method(TM)? You are talking about video RAM. I said:
To which you said that you too are talking about regular RAM (as in DDR, PC133, etc), and not video RAM, though you're clearly talking about video RAM. Savvy?
Also, * I know that.

Bloody hell, I'm turning into Ratty. Someone save me.
Also, I was responding to Josh, who was clearly talking about video RAM. ('having double that on my voodo2')
Still, ARGH!
