According to an interview with Rahul Sood on CustomPC, the new HP Blackbird 002 runs both CrossFire and SLI on an Nvidia 680i SLI chipset.

I love the comment on it against the XPS.

DarkLord7854 · 7th Sep 2007, 18:38

^^^ I'm with ya on that statement... but if I can't have it, I'd try and replicate it with a TJ07 or something.

Um... Fizz-Ex?

May not be crap yet... we need to see what the UT III launch is like.

"We also think that the DIY market will be hard pressed not to want one of these."

since when did custom builders want to spend 20% more for the same thing? moronic thing to say.

Why hasn't anything else on the UT3 engine used it? £100 investment for one game? The card is already 2 years old as it is.

You obviously have no idea how much I love UT.

HourBeforeDawn · 7th Sep 2007, 22:18

oh that is awesome, its like turning water into wine. ^_^

Woodstock · 8th Sep 2007, 00:37

i think the case looks like s**t

speedfreek · 8th Sep 2007, 02:18

I think it looks better than the xps but I still have more fun building from parts than I ever would just going out and buying one.

C-Sniper · 8th Sep 2007, 02:28

The only thing i like about the case is the single "foot". However it does look like it could make it top heavy and prone to tipping over. I would rather build a case and PC than pay for that though.

So what? Yes, it's expensive, and developers aren't putting any effort into building games for it. That doesn't mean the card is crap, only that no one wants to work on in-depth physics simulations that can't be played by the majority.

topher · 8th Sep 2007, 09:20

Where can you buy the case on its own?

Now, if I'm not mistaken, Medal of Honor: Airborne uses AGEIA PhysX, at least the demo installs the drivers along with the demo... Has anyone tried Airborne with a PhysX card?
