Easy guys, this wasn't a competition to start with. No need to have a circle jerk.

We'll see how well his cheap ass laptop plays it...

I highly doubt any of the sites I've posted specs from are wrong. They're all reputable gaming hardware review sites. Why would they lie?

Now do you really need to ask that? J/K.
I'm sure they're just trying their best to bench every single piece of new equipment they receive equally.

I seem to be having some problems getting video captured using Windows Movie Maker. It will only recognize my Panasonic PV-GS50 camcorder as a webcam and will only allow me to capture live video, not what I have recorded on my miniDV. Anyone have any suggestions?

You have to have video capture card in your PC in order to capture video bro... (like ATis all-in-wonder card, or MyViVo video-in video-out)

Does your laptop come with video capture? I don't think it does... I know mine doesn't..

Look honestly, I don't care that much anymore. Just play games and enjoy them, even if it is at low framerates

According to the instruction booklet all I'm supposed to need is the supplied USB cable and USB driver. The camcorder came with Panasonic's DV Studio3 and I am able to capture still images from recorded video using that program, but I was informed to capture full video I need to use Movie Maker.

Yeah, well it's not at low frame rates which is the point.

Well snap actual photos and grab them, something more than a screenshot to show that it's not photochopped.

C'mon Ryan, Tachikoma's backing off now, saying he "doesn't care" but in fact realizing he may be wrong. Finish him!!!


I'll add my bananas to Pclover8891's!

I want something that he cannot argue. I'll get him his video soon. I need to figure out how to copy movies to my notebook anyways so I've posted a question here....http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/t113295.html and I'm going to try giving Panasonic a call, although I doubt they'll be of any help.

You could've just used FRAPS

But wait, that for some reason lowers your framerates by 30 or so

LOL this guy reminds me of a guy I argued with on another message board once about the makeup of a GBA cartrige (that was a truly pointless argument). I could never get my proof because I couldn't find my little webcam and my scanner died (started smoking!) as soon as I plugged it into AC to try to scan the open carts, but just the same when I was close to having my proof for him that he was wrong he was all "I don't care anymore, but I know you're wrong" too

As far as the FRAPS, consider that if he still has stock drive he only has a 4200 RPM drive FRAPS video capture slows down everything whenever I try to use it no matter what I'm doing it on.

Don't worry. I'm going to prove to you that it does.

I am. I think I want to wait for the Seagate 100gb 7200rpm to come out. If it ever does.

I'm just having the hardest time believing such a low end card (mobile even) could run Doom 3 in 1024x768 on high settings.

iD software made a specific statement saying high was mainly for higher end video cards with 256MB+ of video memory. That's with a standard 512MB of ram though too, so most people were able to pull it off with 128MB mid-range cards and a gig of RAM. This however, I'm finding incredibly hard to believe.

If he can post proof more power too him. My only beef is that I wanted more than just 2 screenshots with numbers in the top left corner.

C'mon Tachikoma,
You did insult Ryan and others and called them liars (whatever reason or justification). I guess you will have to accept the results of Ryan's video.

Ryan - I for one am still amazed (read: doubtful) how you get such high fps numbers, but you are willing go to a lot of effort to prove it, and its good to know that.

Meanwhile, if you can post your remaining system specs that will also be nice (if you already did - sorry for asking again)
Edit: Never mind - just noticed your sig

Do you still have all the shadows turned on? Or do you turn those off?

Also what drivers are you using? DNA? Omega?



ALSO - Be sure in the video to show us the options screen, with what you have turned on/off and settings etc...

I know that games are mainly graphic card dependant, but I'm sure the AMD64 chip in my system is a + when it comes to gaming.

Not really. In laptops, your video chip is the bottleneck. Sure your CPU can handle the game fine, but it chokes on the video card. The Athlon64 is really only slightly better at performing single operation 32-bit tasks in standard 32-bit windows than a Pentium 4 is. However, when it comes to multitasking, hyper-threading owns.

I said I will show the options screen. Shadows are turned on. Drivers are the ones that came from Gateway, but I do have ATITool and have it clocked at 400 core 225 mem, but this honestly doesn't have much of an impact on my fps. I still average about 30fps while on 300 core 200 mem.

You never said you O/C it

100Mhz on core??

And yes O/Cing can make a difference in gaming. Especially if you really OC by that much...
