Merry Chirstmas to everyone, i hope you all have a safe and awesome holiday!

As i mentioned not long ago, level 55 was an easy one. Starting at Level 44 this year, i have gone up 12 levels but next year will be slower with level 63 and level 64 taking atleast 1 year EACH (expect to be in them in all of 2011 and 2012 respectively).

Its been a while now and both Nvidia and ATI have stick with their graphic cards, only doing small refreshes or name changes with Nvidia.

Though in these economic conditions its no wonder they have not released new graphic cards and they are hoping to sit out the first half of 2009 before they risk it into the market.

The latest graphic card from ATI is the 4890 and 275GTX from Nvidia, both cards are pretty cheap considering we've seen cards go up to amazing $650 especially from Nvidia, so this is a good sign.

But what will it come next, what strategy will ATI have and how will Nvidia respond since they've been the follower in this latest generation of graphic cards?

From what its known the new generation would be based on a 40nm manufacuring process, ATI is going to make 2 chips, 1 will be for the mainstream market, while the other chip for the performance segment.

Nvidia on the other hand is probably going to go for a 1 chip design for all cards as always, in which it will bring the big guns first and then slowly start bringing out slower variants.

One thing is certain though, Nvidia will not go out developing an expensive chip and wait for manufacuring improvement to bring slower variants, but it will be a mix of power and cheap to make.

The next graphic cards should be an evolution of the current graphic cards and likely we are going to see more streams/processors/shaders, higher clocks and support for DX11.

Nvidia is likely to follow ATI with GDDR5 technology since its cheaper than going for a 512bit bus.

The biggest improvement that we are probably going to see is in the coolors department, neither Nvidia, nor ATI have particularry good reference coolers and they are quite inneffective, loud and consume quite a bit of electricity.

So I'm going to guess that we are going to see some different coolers from both companies, since ATI cards with reference coolers run very hot, as much as 90 degrees and Nvidia cards are pretty close running at 70 degrees on load.

The final high end cards would be close to these:

ATI 5870:

960shaders

850MHz core clock

3500Mhz memory clock

1GB GDDR5 512bit

Nvidia GTX390:

384shaders

750Mhz core clock

3500MHz memory clock

1700MHz shaders clock

1GB GDDR5 512bit

Lower models would probably have smaller bus, i would guess 256bit or 384bit, less shaders and lower clocks.

Hey guys! Its been a long time since I've had a post, but its that time of year again. Football season! My team is looking real good this year, I think we can take it all.
I just got my gear picked up the other night, and this year, I got a visor, arm guards, new gloves and new cleats. I'm all revved up to go *pics below*

And guess who we are palying opening game?Read below post for a hint. Yup thats right, we are playing against the reigning champions, the team that beat us in the championship last year. If that didn't get me fired up enough, Their players were trash talkin me hardcore over facebook. Well, I'm ready to go! Heres a few pics of my new gear.

As some of you may have noticed I havenīt been very active here at gamespot... well, I havenīt been here at all for a long time.

Anyway, the redesign looks kinda good and interesting! Maybe this is what I need to get the interest back to this site. I just hope they fix the glitches now that the whole site is getting updated.

First of: I've hit the next level, and am now a Blaster Master.... whatever that may mean...

Second: Got a new emblem for voting for the readers choice awards.

Last but not least, new game additions:

God of War II [PS2] 19.99
Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s [PS2] 19.99
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock [PS2] 34.20
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War [PSP] 34.99
Gitaroo Man Lives [PSP] 4.99
Half-Life [PS2] 10.00

I also can't believe i even remembered my password to this name, haha.

Whats up everyone? Do i still have people that remember me on this site? Guess i sort of just disappeared didn't I? Well, i just got really really busy, college, work, things like that. Not to mention the fact that GS just wasn't giving me the kind of fun that it use too. If theres anyone left that remembers me, i'd love to here from you again. I hope everyone has been doing ok.

I haven't really "returned" but i will try and drop by as much as i can to talk to everyone who actually posts a comment to this blog, lol.

Well, anyone out there remember me, if so, i'll talk to you again soon.

Wow a lot has changed on GS I guess its been so long but now everything of mine is sorted and I hope I can be active more. Its good to be back.

Happy easter to everybody in gamespot and all around the world

Endless_Light made this sig for me. I love it!

Thank you Endless_Light! The sig looks great!

when i go on it shows the targeting reticle and the ammo thing, but all i see is just a flahing screen and the stuff that people type. i heard the games good and i really want to play it!!!!!!!!!!!
