Nvidia doesn't manufacture video cards, all Nvidia cards are assembled by a third party (BFG, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, whatever). Whereas some ATI cards are "Built by ATI".

I've heard plenty people talk crap about stuff they know absolutely nothing about. Speaking of, game consoles are not restricted to 640x480 resolution. HD TV's use resoultions other than 640x480. The Xbox 360 is designed to use these resolutions. Read up sonny boy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High...

good god you're an idiot.

So, anybody have a review of the demo yet? Would be interesting to have comments on the graphics, as they should be quite a bit better than the PS2 release.

Very happy about the tweaked car performance. It's just wrong how you could take the Mk5 Golf in MW and totally smash a Ford GT with it. This is a feature that has needed a change since the first Underground.

I very rarely put body kits on any of the cars in the game. The pattern always goes: 1st kit, not too bad... conservative and adds a bit of flair All of the others: extreme rice, look ridiculous. So if I do even use a kit at all, it'll be the first one. I don't think I ever use any of the other 4. S...

Those are very generous requirements. Anyone who can't meet them really shouldn't even be considering any type of gaming on their PC. 1GB of RAM is a standard amount this day in age, you can pick up a gig of cheap stuff for as little as $60. I was honestly expecting the requirements to be a little m...

It's interesting to compare the graphics of the original Half-Life 2 to what is in Episode 2. Almost a completely different game. The enhancements they have added into the game add a lot to the environment. I was fortunate enough to play Episode 1 on a fairly nice computer (A64 3400+, 1GB RAM, 6600G...

I find a lot of it depends on how you tune your car for the race. The turbo tune alone can determine a win or a loss. Analyze the track and tune correctly for the win. This is especially important in drag races where you must tune towards top speed.

So what I've noticed from the video: - Autosculpt is going to be very useful. - Drift is going to be very fun (looks a lot more fast paced and the physics seem to have improved) - Graphics seem a bit better (though it was a PS2, so we havent had an accurate example of this) One crappy thing I notice...

Only highway speed plus a bit. I don't trust my driving skills enough to take it any higher, I also prefer quick acceleration to top speed.

Regarding the diesel, the ECU and cold air intake aren't going to do much by themselves. My friend's Mk3 TDI Golf has a 1.6TD I believe. It runs around 8psi stock, he has it at 12 or so right now but we were playing around with it peaking at 26psi a couple of weeks ago (after running it like this fo...
