Is my video card any good?

[Meyfei]

It is NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE

[TalHex]

probably better then mine

[Retniwreven]

You should weld some wings to it. Srsly.

[Nitro Vordex]

Well, while we're on the subject:

ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 series.


Old as hell I presume?

[TalHex]

ATI Radeon 9250

[Nitro Vordex]

Yours has got to be better than mine Talon.

[TalHex]

can it play youtubes in ful screen without flicker?

[Retniwreven]

ATI Radeon X1050... I think.
I have to update my motherboard BIOS to use anything better, but the maufacturer doesn't realize this model exists for some reason, so I can't, so I'm stuck with this till I buy a new system.

Being that any system I'd want will cost over $3000, I'm going to use this for a while longer first.

[Nitro Vordex]

What do you mean flicker?

Retni: when did you get your motherboard/comp?

[Nitro Vordex]

sometimes, but that just might be your RAM or internets.

[TalHex]

full screen quality is shitty... rapid movements cause the normally fuild motion to lag cuasing a flicker like effect... you would know it if you saw it...

[TalHex]

probably internets... i have one GB of RAM

correction for some reason it no longer flickers for me...

Mm, got it maybe four years ago? Five at the most. It's an Emachines system. I tried doing a search on the motherboard model but as far as anyone's concerned it either doesn't exist or they don't have files for it.

Still, I have no issues really. It runs PSYOU just fine, providing I don't mind two frameskip. Frankly, the smoothness of anything too high freaks me out a little.

[Nitro Vordex]

Lucky, I have 447mb of RAM. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

Emachines? and you can't find it? Probably means it's discontinued then.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Your card is kinda low end. It's not the worst, in fact it's a step up from nearly any on-board graphics card. It's not going to crush any games but, with proper power, it should keep a steady framerate at low settings.

[Nitro Vordex]

Who ya talkin' to, Shlig?

[Out_Kast]

I guess he was just answering Meyfei's original question...

[Meyfei]

its pretty bad, the spinning thing in the background on pso's title flickers on me.

note: somethings been buggin me, i cant use fraps on BB, BUT i can use it on WoW.

2nd note: i have 384RAM

dang does my pc suck

[Retniwreven]

That's a weird multiple of RAM. Either way, running on that much is painful.
Go buy a cheap stick of 256 or 512 or something and add it on, it'll help immensely.

I upgraded my system from 512 to 1.5 Gig ram, and 128 video to 256 video for PSU, and I can actually run BB without frameskip now if I feel like playing it.

[Nitro Vordex]

How much does it cost to upgrade?

[Retniwreven]

I bought a gig stick for like ninety bucks? I think. I wasn't paying that much attention.

[Nitro Vordex]

So like a USB flash drive or must it go into the computer?

[Retniwreven]

Er... USB memory? That'd be news to me. Flash drives are USB, but they aren't like RAM sticks.
It has to go into the computer. It's one of the easier parts to put into a system.
I have to go catch a bus, but I'll check here later. =X

[Nitro Vordex]

Okay. Yeah, I though I heard of using something that looks like a USB drive and fits like one, but it can act as RAM.
I dunno, it's been a while.

[Meyfei]

is a ram stick like a needle? where it injects ram nito the computer?
i have 2 ub slots infront of my harddrive

[Nitro Vordex]

>_>;

[TalHex]

it goes directly into the motherboard... i upgraded my computer myself... still needs a lot of stuff though...

Behold, ye mighty memory!

[TalHex]

GASP! its a solid memory! (as opposed to a liquid one?)

[Retniwreven]

Liquid memory? That's... uh... not real? >_>

[TalHex]

to much crystal chronicles for you?

[Retniwreven]

Never played it. >>

[TalHex]

neither have i...damnit i just had an idea for another sig but i have to shut down for the night... crap and i'll probably forget it by tomorrow...
