btw, that game you posted looks incredible. What system/specs is it running on?

Trackmania Sunrise?

If that's what you're talking about, I'm running it on a P4-3.6 + 6800. Beautiful game. One of the best looking games on the PC IMO.

Yep, thanks Blimblim. Your encode worked great for me in Zoom Player.

Ye that one. Hmm, never heard of it before. Then again I don't have your specs (9800, AMD 64 3500+, 1 gig of 3200 ram). I want to upgrade my graphics card but not just yet.

Well, TM Sunrise actually runs REALLY well on low end hardware if you turn off a lot of the effects. The motion blur and dynamic color effects absolutely kill your framerate. Like I said, my older 3.2 P4 + 9700 Pro was brought to its knees by the game (with the blur enabled). At 640x480, it struggled to keep 20 fps.

If you disable those effects, though, the game runs very very well even on low end hardware. It just happens to lose a LOT of its visual appeal...

Double D really belongs at OA.

Funny you should mention that...

Couple of shot of TM Sunrise i've just taken.





Everething is on high exept AA. The framerate was around 5. :lol

That car looks quite low-poly, nearly DC level. Looks different to the pic dark10x posted up there. Still, I wish I had a good enough pc to run this game.

Yeah but I only have a Radeon 9800 and not even a "pro" one. The game run very well when I don't turn the blur on though.

On topic: I've just watched the PGR3 trailer and wow, it's gorgeous! And the sound of these cars is amazing! I want that game now!

A few more pics of TMS, just for fun...

It's tough to get nice shots of the game simply due to the fact that you can only capture the motion blur in replays by using the Print Screen key and pasting into an editor. I want to cap some pics that show off the background a bit more...

Those shots above seem to be running in a lower detail level with some of the effects disabled or something. The car textures are REALLY bad looking in those shots.

:lol

did you read the post you were responding to dark?

The only thing I don't really like about 1080i CRTs is that many lack the horizontal resolution to display true 1920x1080 images (most are around 1400 - 1440 pixels in horizontal resolution), but yet they advertise it as a "true" HD image.

First of all its vertical resolution.

CRT HDTVs probably do 1300x1080i - 1440x1080i... Which is still more than the 1280x720p or 1366x720p limits of the LCD and DLP chip.

Dont confuse resolution with refresh rate.

Dammit I thought this was a new trailer that I'd missed (and had 5 pages of fanboys vs anti MS fanboys arguing over the most ir-relevant stuff they could find) but it's an old topic

On second thought, I don't know what I'm talking about.
