I'm actually pretty confused here. Who plays DVDs on their computers? Doesn't everyone rip them to a RAID volume, compress them with a handy codec and use them that way? Or is that just me?

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 04, 2004, 07:42:19 pm: Never noticed that. My MSI Ti4200 uses Conexant CX25871 encoder, and it works just fine for DVD playback. The CX25870 must be getting rather old, then, since my card predates 8x AGP. And if someone is running a GF3, they don't really have much of a reason to use the latest and greatest driver, then, do they?

Actually I did. Sean Connery on celebrity jeopardy to Alex Trebek, if I'm not mistaken.

looks like it was a bug that it was disabling more than just the output

Kazan, please grow up, you don't like a certain brand of graphics card then that's fine but I don't think anyone really cares what YOU say about them. I've had nVidia cards for the past two generations and I've ALWAYS found them to be stable, reliable and fast.

Doesn't stop me drooling like a madman over the 9800xt though, I go where the value is best.

jesus ****ing christ you're being dumb as bricks
Title: Sucks to be an nVidia user
Post by: Fineus on April 05, 2004, 10:22:10 am: Then buy the other card and put them out of business, there's no need to prove anything to anyone around here. And stop with the insults.

Post by: Kazan on April 05, 2004, 10:38:53 am: turnsky: yes i didn't notice the date at first - because who ever submitted it to slashdot and whoever approved it didn't bother to check the date

aldo: ******SLAPS* this has nothing to do with my preference of video cards, god you're being dumb as a ****ing brick and it's getting on my nerves - right now I'm talking about fair use issues, it just happens to be a company i dislike anyway doing it

Post by: Shrike on April 05, 2004, 02:43:47 pm: Kazan, if you don't stop with your attitude you're going to be taking a bit of a vacation. There's absolutely no excuse for it. You're supposed to be an adult. Act like it.
