what focus on cars are you talking about?(GTA stuff)

[Jetmech Jr.]

50% of Grand Theft Auto is about driving/stealing cars. The rest is made up of killing people, typically by USING the cars you steal.

You don't see a focus on cars in GTA? It's in the friggin NAME: Grand Theft Auto.

What video card are you using?

A Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB. That said, I also have 2GB of PC2100 RAM inside this machine which has made a world of difference to most loading times. As it stands I need a new graphics card as that is now the bottleneck for new games.

That said, if graphics are your problem then the Radeon 9800 is cheap as chips these days. Sure it's not PCI-E but who cares.

a) Leave it to Deep to plug his Xbox ****. Some things just don't change.

b) Hot Pursuit was the best NFS game, the whole Underground idea and the Porsche 911 **** was a nosedive from productive thinking.

I really wonder what the new one will be like.

c) I nearly forgot, I need to plug some **** of my own. Deepblue has the right idea.

Don't forget to play all your games on the new Samsung flatscreen

I have a 256MB GeForce 5600FX - so video shouldn't be the problem really, I guess your memory is the difference.

I have absolutely no problems with loading times. Using the default highest settings with 1024x768.
My rig: A64 3200+. 1GB RAM, Radeon 9800XT 256MB.

No bloody wonder then, you flash git

I beg to differ vyper, I haven't noticed much different if any (and we're talking maybe a second or two at most) for the loading times.

I will say one thing though, judging from the demo, the use of glow is very very fierce. Sure it looks kinda pretty but it's also not realistic at all.

I didnt notice ANY loading time increases...  and you must remember it IS loading the entire city, its just that there are some blocks becaseu some of the tracks make you go on a certain route....  If you do the roadblock challenge, there are VERY few places where the streets are blocked off, thus the ENTIRE city is being loaded, not just the track...

in a nutshell, LOADING TIMES REMAIN THE SAME...
