Doom III to be Bundeled with Ati Cards!


Recommended Posts

Woot ! I want them to drop the price rather than bundle more and more games with the cards and keeping or raising the prices ... :/

^ Ignorant n00b above. :rolleyes:

Me? I just find it funny that NVidia mopped the floor with ATI in Doom 3 benchmarks, yet they package Doom 3 with it...explain how this makes me an ignorant noob please.

:/ I didnt really think the Nvidia cards beat the ATi that badly, but I am upgrading to an Nvidia just because of this game. Im just hoping HL2 will run ok on it.

dunno about "mopped the floor" but yes Nvidia was quite ahead of ATi in Doom 3 benches.

But you said "half decent performance" which is a false statement as the performance on a X800 averaged well above 55fps.

half decent ? No. Less than Nvidia ? Yes

Just because Nvidia moped ATI in the benchmarks with Doom 3, that doesn't make ATI's card not good enought to run Doom 3. It's just not the best choice of graphics card to run doom 3 with.

ohh man..dont make this a freakin fanboi thread man! cant we all just get along?

besides...we only saw ONE sites tests on doom 3..for all i know..it could be one of those nvidia "OPTIMIZES" in either case...i still think ATI cards are a better choice..but thats just me.

but plz dont go all off topic.

thanX

it lacks traditional insignia (weired creatures/hot chicks) so I begin to think it's a composit scetch, since google image search revealed that every box has either creature/hot chick(Ruby is it? the one in the demo)/object (i.e. Gigabyte's piramid) that one doesn't have anything.

plus look at the heatsink/fan weired, small, and stripped down, x600 or x300? but that makes not friggin sense!

game bundles are great for both companies, as well as retailors. it does get frustrating ati is pushing back its release for its "new opengl code" / compiler. when its finished i do hope their is a significant increase for the consumers.

zaz you are SOOO SMART

and it's an incentive to buy the ATi card for the guy above. ATi will fix the problem, and you'll have the game. Problem? I don't see one. It's a pretty smart move if you ask me. So far they've bundled a HL2 voucher and now Doom 3. They're pretty consumer friendly, but you're bashing them. How ironic.

^ the benches were dependable. Moreover ATi always lacked in OpenGL games so it was no surprise. I dont expect the performance to increase.

I do. I recall reading an ATI employee stating that the OpenGL drivers weren't as good as the DirectX driver because they spend more time on the DirectX driver and if they spent that time on the OpenGL driver, the speed would go up. :D

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
