Has anybody here tried it? I have not yet, mostly because I dont own Company of Heroes. Supposedly the performance of the DX10 was not so great, and the water looked crappy. The player models looked improved though.

Na i had great fun with the game running an amd quad with crossfire cards though, the graphics were sweet if your a commandos fan (the game). you can zoom right into the action and it looks just like the cut scenes, it had more than you would expect from an average genre like that, but you need a powerful machine to run it smooth thats it's only downfall but maybe in 2yrs time people might like it when they catch up on the specs.

Also, "crossfire cards" means nothing unless you post the model.

What do you mean post the model, what you mean my x1950 cross fire card or processor, what do you mean post it as take a picture of it or what.

And for the record they aint shity i needed that processor for design.

If you bought AMD's new "Gaming platform" 4x4, you would have been better off with a Core 2 QX6700 as it's faster at stock, uses less power, and overclocks a hell of a lot better, not to mention the platform is cheaper too. Are you running X1950XTXs? That pair would provide a sweet gaming experience for most games, but doesn't support Direct X10 and the patch this thread is talking about.

i've got the four cores 4x4 and it does what i want it to do, And i bought if for 500 bucks so i got it cheaper than the intel at 700 bucks and when i need a new processor in two years i'll buy one.

BTW: i buy the internet prices not the store prices, and the amd's cheaper on the net than the intel's catalogue.

BTW: i buy the internet prices not the store prices, and the amd's cheaper on the net than the intel's catalogue.Don't insult me; I only buy my hardware from the internet, and seeing as the U.S. usually has considerably lower prices than anywhere in the world, I'll use it as my example:

On Newegg.com, a QX6700 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115011) is currently priced at $968, where two FX74 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103866)s would cost you a bit less at $814.
The only 4x4 motherboard available is the ASUS L1N64-SLI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131146) which is priced at $330, which is around $150 more than the average LGA775 SLI motherboard.
Thanks to both Windows XP and Windows Vista not being NUMA aware, and the fact that K8 has a lower IPC than Core 2, the 3GHz FX74s lose to the QX6700 in EVERY benchmark, be it a single thread or multi threaded.
Another problem with the FX74s in a 4x4 configuration is that it would literally consume 2x as much power as the QX6700, as each FX74 is rated at a 130W TDP where the QX6700 alone has a TDP around 130W.
Also, say you like overclocking, the QX6700 is already faster out of the box at 2.66GHz than the 3GHz FX74, but it can easily hit 3.33GHz with a multiplier increase, where the 3GHz FX74 generally can't break 3.2GHz.

Now that I think about, the only 4x4 motherboard out is based on an Nvidia chipset so you're either:
A) Lying about your whole system
B) Using some sort of untested hacked drivers to get your X1950s to work in Crossfire

I'm thinking it's A, but I don't know why you'd lie about owning a system that's inefficient on so many levels.

You've still yet to actually post your system specs, but it doesn't matter because even if your X1950s are the XTX editions, my single overclocked 8800GTX could easily walk all over that pair. I'm sorry if I offended you VooDoo, but I found it hard to believe anyone was stupid enough to buy AMD's shitty 4x4 platform; it's all starting to make sense.

VooDoo, I have no qualms with you, but I think it would be more helpful if you'd post your system specs when talking about how a game ran on your machine. This thread is about the Direct X10 version of Company of Heroes, and seeing as you claim to own X1950s, you can't run the Direct X10 version of the game anyways. If you'd rather not participate, go ahead and continue with your childish insults, but you're only making yourself look like a fool.


Example:
My current system
AMD Athlon X2 4800+ @ 2.6GHz
2GB PC3200 (2-3-3-6)
eVga Geforce 8800GTX @ 633MHz/2050MHz
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music
BFG AGEIA PhysX

Right i don't want to argue about this anymore, are we clear and i never appreciated your arrogance either Heyyou27, And yes i do have two seperate fans on my motherboard rip on it if you want cause i am aware the Intel quad is a single chip to take up less space with one fan, well at least thats what i heard.The FX53 and FX55 are both single core CPUs, and the the only way you could use them together in the same system would for them to be based on socket 940, meaning they're both 130nm single core Athlons. X1950GT, PRO, XT, or XTX? I didn't think it could get any worse, but I was wrong.

Like you said the graphics are decent but theres no physics so whats the point every gun feels the same so whats the point.

BTW, My graphics and processors are maxed out that much that i aint even gonna explain my specs, it'll take too long (large computer) so no probs on performance on my side with me thinking the game sucks.

E. Suggest a degraded/regressed mental state(Perhaps to the early teen years) by reasons which include, but are not limited to:


Vulgar Language Used Excessively
Repeated Sexually Suggestive Remarks
Spelling/Grammar mistakes which demeanor Intelligence
Childish insults
Dramatic threats to peers (As Shown Below) http://gprime.net/board/images/icons/icon1.gif What the hell who are you

You said you knew more about computers than I do, but you couldn't even put together a fake system. I don't care anymore as it's obvious you don't own the hardware you claim to. I also noticed tha t you're still getting the X1950 thing wrong.
