• • ATI Graphics in Nvidia Chipset

  • Thanks for all the replies. If I do end up going with a single card solution, I might not bother with the Nvidia motherboard anyway. It's really designed for the higher-end market and with the 3x PCI-E slots, a multiple card set up. I'll end up looking for something a bit cheaper that will do the job for me.

• • ATI Graphics in Nvidia Chipset

  • Here's my question: Can I put two ATI 4870 cards crossfire in an Nvidia 780i motherboard and have it work properly? I really like the features that come with these motherboards, but Nvidia really dropped the ball on the graphics cards these last couple of weeks and, in my opinion, the 4870 cards are superior. Therefore, I want to purchase the ATI cards, but I still really like the Nvidia motherboard. If it doesn't work, what's a comprable motherboard that will work for me? Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• • The Lore...

  • Indeed, the best way to go about learning the lore is to read the books. However, I have found in recommending people to read these books is that some really enjoy them, and some don't like them very much at all, mostly because the writing style isn't very modern. It's quite ponderous and tends to put them off or bore them to death.

    So, you could look at the Cliff Notes, but be forewarned, there is a lot going on in these books and I highly doubt the Cliff Notes will give you everything you can find in the actual novels.

    One thing I always loved about LoTRO was the deeds/titles.  I thought that was ingenious. If nothing else, they give you tiny goals to strive for if you're sick of questing or whatever.  I know that WAR is doing something similar, but I think Turbine made a great game in LoTRO.  I've been considering resubbing myself. . .

    Quite a few games have titles actually...Guild Wars and Ryzom are the two at the top of my head.

    Yes, but in most games they don't do anything for you.  In LoTRO you can actually earn stat boosts from them.

     

    Sort of. The stat boosts come with the second part of the slayer deed. The first part gives you the title. So, it's not the title directly that gives you the stat boosts.

    I still think they're cool though. I go around as Jaxom Dragonrider Lord of Fangs at the moment.

  • October 28th huh? If that's correct, then it fits with what I've thought all along seeing "Fall 2008": Late October or early November.
