M17x-R2 - out with HD5870

buy a tippmann and an aw :b

 

nah i like a realistic military style gun, thats why am going for the RAP4 Xpower 2010 (M4 carbine style), it is clip fed, no huge bulky hopper for paintballs.
i want the security at the airports to confuse it for a real gun lol.

the tippmann says "hello AM A PAINTBALL GUN I LOOK SO FAKE DONT WORRY KIDS USE ME TO SHOOT PAINT "

so yeah.

 

rap 4 has 20 paintballs in it's mag, an tippmann (98/45/x7) has 160-200

 

Stay far, far away from crap4. I cannot even begin to tell you how much.
If you want magazine fed ATS markers, the Tiberius T4 (what I run now personally) and milsig are all far better choices.

Trust me.

I play stockclass pump.
I get by on 10.

 

thanks for the feed. i will do some research on tiberius and milsig. have u tried the all new RAP4 Xpower 2010?

 

lol thread derailed

 

you can not use the online form for transfers outside of the US(it says so right in the disclaimer). I'm not sure if it's even possible.

 

Naw, don't be silly!

BTW, I am effin' LOVING my new m17x. I'm gonna browse steam tonight and download a game or two (or just the demo) to push the system a bit.

Then likely install Civ4 or GalCivII and eat away the rest of the night.

Now the thread is only slightly derailed.

 

Psh, I'm all for humorous thread derailings, I totally just reinstalled Civ4 too! Parts of it make me miss Civ II though. Back to the m17x, I considered the 820 for a while, but from what I've seen it just doesn't seem like it would be worth it from a pure gaming standpoint. I think I'm going to just wait and then hopefully pop an OEM 920 in there, assuming it doesn't void my warranty...

 

are you a Farscape fan?

as part of the not derailing the thread i'm really looking forward to getting my M17x

 

For all its imbalance and such it did have a certain magic to it. I've easily burned through more Civ hours on II than any other version. That was prolly due to being in college at the time.

I ADORED the show during its original airing. Went to a few cons as well and met the cast and such. Great folks. I don't think the show has aged very well, but yeah. I've kept the handle over the years although I usually just go with JC or JCrichton as opposed to "John Crichton". I've ended meeting lots of people in person after interactions on forums and being called "John" is too jarring! Some friends I've had for years still slip and call me John occassionally.

I don't have to tell you that it's totally worth the wait.

 

I always thought the show was awesome. I agree that it didn't age well but what really had me was the ending movie never felt like it really belonged or that it was a really good ending. I still wish i could meet the hole cast though

:yes:

 

am getting the Asus G73jh. get outa here

 

Yeah, all parties (Sci-fi Channel and the FarScape producers) really screwed up what should have been the 5th season. They squeezed it all into that TV movie and while it was better than not getting closure it really felt rushed. I've always felt that Farscape was what Star Trek: Voyager should have been if you get my (topic) drift.

Even though the lot of them were tired they were all very nice and gracious. They answered questions and signed stuff with no fuss which was really nice.

At the first NY Con Ben Browder actually came out after all the signings in the middle of the crowd, jumped on a chair and did some other wacky stuff to pimp the show that I can't remember. I do recall it being very fun and entertaining!

 

yeah I think get your drift

cool

I remember Ben Browder and Claudia Black went on to be on stargate.
I wish I could have seen the wacky stuff. Browder was always my favorite.

 

Guy has loads of charisma. I was surprised that he doesn't get more work.

 

Selene needs weapons, not computers.

 

i hope he has something in the works. would like to see him as captain America in the new captain america movie
or Thor. something as a main recurring character in a movie

 

No CF in Australia? But do they sell the 5870 separately on Dell so I can upgrade myself?

 

5870's being pushed now may not have the crossfire interface on the card. That would be te reason they don't have them in x-fire.

 

They sell the 5870 separately you'll have to call dell and ask if they have the xfire connection.

 

they seem to have removed the CF option on all dell websites i checked (BE-NL-US) I guess they have to get rid of an old stock of 4870's first

they all offer 1x5870 or CF 4870

pisses me off

 

So for the time being 2 4870 CrossfireX are still better than 1 single 5870, am I right?

 

XF5870 will be available in mid of May for AU customers, according to my rep.

 

Yess I spoke to a Dell AU rep today and was told the same thing. Crossfire to be available sometime next month.... most probably Mid May... He said he will call me as soon as its available.... Waiting...Waiting...

2 more weeks......

 

sounds like we may have the same rep lol. exactly same words.

 

Couldn't find the 5870 spare part for upgrade on Dell AU website? Do I have to make special order or smth?

 

lol I spoke to Alex Lee... wot about u?

 

BINGO
seems like he is holding many customers.lol

 

u have to call DELL. they will never list them on the website

 

Will 5870's crossfire be out by the time Starcraft 2 comes out?

SC2 release date is looking like June.

Living in Australia.

 

don't think you need that much power for starcraft 2 but hopefully those cards will be out in the next few monts.

 

I played with the beta version on my single 5870 system with no issues.

 

yeha, i do not think people need XF5870 to play SC2.

 

I'm playing with my 9800gtx+ and having zero problems on Ultra. It's a pretty well optimized game

 

SC2 Beta only goes up to 2v2? 5870CF will be required (custom maps or possibly 4v4), just wait .

 

pro gamers are mostly play one on one i think. not many people enjoy 2v2 or 4v4 as i know.

 

Yea all competitive games are 1v1

i'm curios of how it will perform in bfbc2 @ 2560*1600

 

do not expect too much on that one. maybe under 1920*1200 will be all right

 

what do you mean ? 2x4870 runs the game on 1200p

 

I hope some new information comes out soon. This group gets off track quick

 

Dual 4870 GPU's will run any game at the max Resolution of 1900x1200. You won't have to lower the resolution to get playable frame rates.

 

yes, then the dual 5870m should make it playable at 1600p (maybe not with all of aa and such at full but at least the resolution) :b

 

Thats a pretty darn high pixel count. Ew 4:3 ratio

 

Driving 1440P I believe, 2560x1440.

 

4:3 ? :s i'm talking about the 16:10 1600p (2560*1600) like in the dell 3008wfp

 

So, just to keep this thread from getting too far off track--how many people have gotten the answer from Dell that the 5870CF is available, just low in stock so it's not on the website? How many have been allowed to order it?

 

I've been told that it's available, but until it's visible on the website, I can't order it.

 

I'm tired of refreshing the dell config page, lol.
