Where can I find a real-time shot of the following in 1024x768 with all
eye candy on?

A SKARJ is running right at you, you juke to the left and fire an ASDM
secondary.

You then juke to the right, jump up onto a crate.. pivot back to the
left.. line up the barrel.. fire the ASDM primary just in time to
intercept the secondary... resulting in a brillian purpleish expanding
globe of death.. that sends the SKARJ's body parts flying in all its
gory.. 


Until you can post live action shots.. I could give a flying #@$# about
any slide show. 


In addition, reliance upon still shots simply shows that one is completely
unaware of the entire effects and use of motion blur, and other effects.
In many cases, the blurred still image will contain superior detail, and
fidelity when in motion. Ever look at a single slide from an IMAX film?
It's all blurry!


But to answer your question, it looks like a bunch of pathetic lego blocks
on my 24". Also, anyone who draws any conclusions based upon "shots" of a
video card, and not the ACTUAL output.. and espeically if those shots are
then posted in a lossy compression format.. well, they get what they get..
