Ok, everyone missed me but TInker and Fang. Bad luck. See you in a few months.

The NVidia 9800 GT seems to work ok. Here are some shots. Nothing remarkable for those already with good graphics, but it was a small thrill for me.

Not much apart from avatar appearance has changed with the new card. Clothes have more texture, and sometimes gleam a little. It's generally pleasing, and I hope it's good eough for CryEngine 2.

For once in my life I exceed the optimal system requirements on something.
