sh*tyy monitor ?

yea pretty much, couldn't beat the price though 150$ for 22" Acer. If you look at the ATI forums though you'll see a thread there that's about 100 pages long or more of people with the same problem and all different kinds of monitors with still no fix.

ATI aren't really known for writing the best drivers.

You're an idiot, you look back at games and /lol at their graphics but a lot of the games i considered the best had SUPER graphics for their time. I mean Half-Life 2 is just one example.

It's not just about making good games. It's about creating the technology. If game developers thought like you did, we'd still only have 8-Bit 2D games.

Advancing game technology isn't a bad thing. It opens doors to the future.

This news is not for gamers. This is for people that are really deep into gaming like developers. The cool thing is one of the things we all wanted was away to put more polygons on screen and deal with zooming into texture with out them getting all jacked up. There are some real time nurb like effects coming that will push graphics future but certain game are not even possible on even the HD console right now.

directx 11 is going to rock, normal mapping was just a stop gag. Also there will be more support for real code running on your GPU.

The majority of developers will always suck and very few will work hard enough to make great playing games. Some art teams are better than others and it's mostly a circle jerk because the public will always see the flaws. We may still have a long ways to do what render man takes hours to do in real time, yet we will find ways o fake it!

Seriously though developers are forgetting what is fun and I'll admit it is very hard to stop at even the HD console specs once you start modeling what you see in your mind.

@mrv321 and @SpartanGR - Your not going to have just one developer working on a game. So it comes down to how much budget is allocated for what. A good game designer will cost you, as will a good graphics, physics, and sound team. Point is both can be achieved (KZ2, FF, Crisis GW, GOW) if they are willing to pay for them.

@ Kakkoil

LOL are you serious? You have no point there. I don't really care replacing my consoles for every 5 or so years. Costs me what 400-500$? Can you claim the same for pc hardware? Pleeeeease!

As for my Mac Pro. Well its an 8core beast with 2 285Gtx from EVGA. You can do anything with a Mac these days you ignorant fool.

you actually paid the extra cash just to own a Mac?

SpartanGR you bought a mac man your argument over price is moot at best. You officially over paid for every thing. Sure you can do alot with a mac and I got one for a laptop too. Yet nothing can touch a PC. I can get the lasted core duo what ever and just put it in my box. Can you do that with your mac, nope. the warranty would be slaughtered. Seriously you can get like 32 gigs of ram on a PC now and the same amount of ram on the mac would be like buying another PC.

I mean you really should state your bias so that you don't look like a tool. You just like macs and PS3s because you have some propaganda about PCs being evil or what ever, or maybe you believe this because of art school or what ever.

Seriously the only thing I want from a mac is the case. Other wise it uses the same parts genius. Hell I would love APPLE cases so I can build what they can not.

Also macs are being crippled because of openGL right now. They may seem fine in your eyes but once you start looking at how it stacks up to direct x you will see the light. Hey but you are a consumer I don't expect you to know this stuff because you only know what they feed you. It sort of makes sense you have a PS3 also.... you guys just love some good ol hype don't you. Even that nice laptop you have is crippled by the GPU because your OS is not even capable of using all of the functions on it.

I may have a mac but I'm not a fanboy of there's. If their is better tech for my needs I would rather use that. I really wish MAc would step up to the plate and offer some thing us game industry types would love to make these 30 million polygon HD models on. The graphics industry moves so fast that is doesn't really make sense for any one to claim they have enough power to beat the curve.

There will be another console cycle soon and hardware like this is the reason why.

@SpartanGR: Your obviously didn't understand the point I was making then. Because I can say the same for PC and I did. You can upgrade the parts in your computer at the same cycle you do for a console, and for the same price if you feel like doing that. It's about CHOICE. The freedom to upgrade the parts when you want to, and if you have the money to. The choice to play in the newest graphics or not. You don't have that choice on a console, your stuck with the same specs until a new console comes out.

I bought a Mac for the software and interfaces of programs. It's easy for me. Arguing about Mac power is not what Macs are all about. You can not upgrade them without voiding the warranty, but you should buy a Mac for it's software which i find way better than most on a pc.

Spartan is just trolling.

No one in their right mind would buy an $8,000 Mac computer with two GTX 285's to surf the internet. I'm actually not clear on what else Macs can do besides the basic PC stuff.
