Un gran Saludo para VENEZUELA desde Londres :salute: ,afortunadamente my ASUS EAH5870 V2 esta todavia funcionando perfectamente

Gracias por sus saludos tonschk, tambien le envio saludos y que pase una Feliz Navidad...

Ati has always been my choice to install video card in my computer, :damn:but my ASUS EAH5870 apparently came with a manufacturing defect.

:hmmm:I also put on the market that Asus version 2 (V2), the one I have was the first version and I see with concern that Asus soon brought to market the ASUS EAH5870 V2, the first versions will come with some type of defect and they chose to change either version 2 ????.
:-?The ASUS EAH5870 EAH5870 ASUS V2 and, I think they have the same characteristics, so my suspicion that brought a defect.

Asus told me immediately, I must return the product for evaluation and then the change (if it is a manufacturing defect).
As it always involves a timeout and I live in Venezuela, I have to wait much longer, opt for a different brand, seeing the great features of your new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi), I wanted to test how it goes with it.

:03:If Asus sent me the replacement of the EAH5870, I sell at an attractive price!!

:oops:Privateer Excuse me if I take your thread to discuss this matter...

I hope you understand my limited English...

:salute:

Videio Cards
 

I have been using NVidia cards for a long time but thinking of switching to ATI. Here is a list of my last 5 Video Cards in order.

1. NVidia G-Force 7600 GS 512 - replaced, gave to to a friend:up:
2. NVidia G-Force 7800 GTX 512 - Buned up, replaced:damn:
3. NVidia G-Force 7800 GTX 1.5 - Fan stopped, replaced:damn:, GF installed new aftermarket fan in and is currently using it.:up:
4. NVidia G-Force 9800 GTX X2 2.0 - burned up - replaced:damn:
5. NVidia G-Force 465 GTX 1.5 - currently in use but running very hot:timeout:

I didn't even overclock any of the GPU's and NVidia just seem to burn up rather fast.:hmmm: I don't feel I can trust NVidia QC anymore.:nope: Time to switch to new Mfg like ATI.:oops:

Any Recommendations?:06:

Regards TheBeast.

:-?It happens the same, but with ATI video cards.
I had installed an ATI Radeon HD 2900XT, :damn:death, failure of memory modules of the video card ...
Earlier this year, buy the Asus EAH5870, :damn:death, coincidentally the same mistake that the ATI HD 2900XT, memory modules.

Today I see that with NVidia GTX 580, have managed to lower the temperature of your cards and power consumption compared with previous models, this is positive because we can see that the processor and memory, have a higher frequency than the GTX 480, we can also see that NVidia finally decided to use the cooling system such as those using the ATI card.
I have seen several review and speak highly of the G-Force GTX 580, in terms of temperatures, my EAH 5870 is also hot, full load temperature reaches 75 to 80 degrees Celsius, we will be clear today These video card manufacturers speculating in both processor frequency and the memory modules.

It is obvious, wait the answer from ATI, in the first quarter of 2011, which with its new line 6000, and a processor, manufacturing smaller 32 nanometers, that means less power consumption and therefore less temperature.

:nope:I do not want to wait until next year and apart from the disappointment I've had with ATI, I now venture to NVidia, :owith a high cost of $ 530, I hope to work better ...

:hmmm:As a recommendation, it is difficult because you have to get lucky with the products they buy today. Many manufacturers trick consumers with ads and the end is we who lose, it's like my case, :cry:living in a country which limit us many things, it becomes harder to buy goods abroad and when damaged some of them is a real headache, make a refund to the manufacturer or RMA for the cost that this entails.

:-?EAH5870 my return to the U.S., it costs me $ 60 and then to bring it back to my country, are another $ 60, must add another $ 60 you spend when they buy earlier this year, that totals $ 180 and if we add the cost of the video card, which was $ 300, giving a total of $ 480.
In a way it's worth spending $ 180, but if the manufacturer, in this case Asus, I recognize the damage produced and replaced by a new one, :wah:but if you do not replace it, I lose money shipping...

It's a DeskTop PC this time Mate.
It arrived today.
:up:

And your English is fine.

Also, I don't mind off topic stuff in this thread.
Sometimes off topic is useful for many reasons.
:yep:

:yeah:I'm glad you get your computer privateer.

;)I hope to soon see the results in the work you been done with the files. gr2 ...

:DLI did my part and buy the video card, in the U.S.. I'm looking forward to my locker in Miami to then send it to my country.

I believe that before the new year have my computer working again.

:-?Sorry for my insistence privateer, but that video card has a new computer?

NVidia G-Force 7600 GS 512
:03:

Woohoo! I've never been so happy to have someone else's computer arrive.

It will take a few days to get everything set up and get to work.
But I'm useing it 'as is' right now.
:yeah:
Even the 'Net is like 5 times faster!

May just have to call in sick for a day or so.
:haha:

I figured it out after reading it a few times.
:up:

My mind is raceing so I may be a bit slow to grasp things.

:up:Very good Friend, I hope you enjoy your desktop PC ...

:salute:

I'm sure We will all enjoy it.
:03:

I found several things with some Shaders in SH4 that I'm
chomping at the bit to see in SH5.

Speaking of shaders , what would be good is an in game contrast adjustment . I would like to be able to adjust the contrast on the fly like the gamma .

Good news
 

But if it is realy a NVidia G-Force 7600 GS 512 then i dont think u well manige too run sh5. I hav a nvidia 8600 gts and my frame on lowest setings r 6-7.
Well maybe there is good thing in it. The time i manige too gate money for new game card u will alredy make a game much beter privateer:up:

Keep up the good job and i hope ur new comp will make u happy and work allu needs.

He can run SH5 for Dev purposes but not a good card for SH5 game play.

As TheBeast said?
All I need at this time is the ability to 'see' what I'm doing.
I rarely play any version of SH except for test missions and Test Campaign starts.
The old system would not run SH5 in any manor and some of the new things for the GR2 Tool depend on the ability to run SH5 good enuff to 'see' results.

One of the new Libraries I am switching to for visualizations is quite nice.
It's small, fast, and will allow a view much like you get in any good 3D Modeling program.
After all.
Once I get the import process perfected?
It will be handy to assist you to move things where you want them.
It also allows the ability to write good Shaders.
So we can get VERY close to what you would see in Game.
:rock:

Thermal mode of the system block of the computer - complex challenge.
Therefore it is not correct talking about video as about independent component of the computer.
For high-efficiency computers (with ATI 4870, 5870 or NV GTX 480, 580) it is necessary to have the big case of the computer with good ventilation and the good power unit with capacity of 850 watt and more.
For a long time i used video from NV and from ATI and i preferred ATI video since the initial picture of these video cards was better, but ATI technologies are badly supported by some manufacturers of games.
Today's video cards are not familiar to me.

Schnorchel
 

Maybe we can get SNK nodes added to the SH5 Sub models so we can have functional Sniffer's(Snorkel).:hmmm:

I tried adding them to the .FX files, a .dat file, and the .sim and .val files but didn't do anything :down:

After adding the SNK Node to the Conning Tower GR2 you still need to add the SNK and Snorkel models (2) to the Equipment.UPC, UpgradePacks.UPC, Submarine UPC (same location) and UPCGE files in order for it to be installed

The SNK can be available NULL, NULL
The Snorkel themselfs will need availabilty dates depending on Sub Type(s).




This can be done three ways:

1. Installed by default right away. (Requires Entry for the two different Snorkel Types, Telescoping/Rotating)
2. Automatic install of Snorkel on/after specified date. (Requires Snorkel entry in Equipment.UPC for each Sub Type)
3. Optional Upgrade Pack available on/after a specified date that cost Renown Points. (Requires Snorkel entry in Equipment.UPC and UpgradePacks.UPC for each Sub Type)

I've been playing with this in SH4 because in loads 10x faster the SH5 and have had good success.
The Native boats in SH5 all use the Rotating Snorkel but may as well make both types available for when new boats are able to be imported into game.
From what I have read and seen on the History Channel. Germany started using Snorkel's (Sniffer) in 1938/39 time period. They got the concept idea from another country (Noreway or Denmark?).

-=[EDIT]=-
The Rotating Snorkel Animation is located @ "~\Silent Hunter 5\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c\Submarine Parts\Room_EXT - Snorkle + Anim.GR2"
After looking at this in Goblin Editor, I don't think we need a SNK node entry. When loading this animation it is already orientated propperly. Maybe all that is needed is a couple UPC entries telling the game to load it...
