So, what happened with the video jAkUp?
hehehe That is kind of funny... I still read everyday about ATI's buggy drivers, and you must not remember when the 8500 was released.. Too this day Nividiots are all over that one.. Sure its deserved, I am just seeing that when the shoe is on the other foot its not so cool... But I digress, I am not a Nividiot or a FanATIc... I like computers and will buy the best card I can for the money.. Right now I am leaning X800pro, but I can't even buy the 6800 yet, so what choice do I have?

I need a whole new system before I can do that though.

I think it is a hematite beach. Even when they are not tumbled they're still relatively shiny.

I personally believe that us americans are unable to do so because osama.

People out there in our nation don't have that, And I believe that our education like such as south africa and such as the Iraq.

everywhere "such as". And I believe our education should help the US should help the south africa and the iraq and the asian countries so we can build up our future.

Anything that you can see reflects light or you wouldn't see it. The color you perceive an object to be is really the color of light that an object reflects.

obviously i know how every object reflects light to obtaint is color. i meant specular, which is exactly what ps 3.0 is doing to those rocks. and while it may look neat its completely unrealisitc

that is NOT AT ALL what far cry is attempting to show.

the light properties of those rocks(in the video u gave us) are similar to tar reflecting the sun
