You have no need for a GTX 295 for your 30" TV. (Assuming it's 720p and not 1080p)

then when will the need for gtx 295 come?

also i forgot to ask that will this card set me for another 2-3 years on a 24inch or 30 inch screen?

182.50 is the driver whql means that it is certified by nvidia (this will allow you to have physx)

185.68 beta allow for ambient occlusion and physx
what is ambient occlusion

Quote:

Ambient Occlusion adds realism to scenes by reducing the intensity of ambient lights on surfaces blocked by surrounding objects. It enhances depth perception by providing a soft shadow effect for objects based on their placement in the scene.

Standard lighting models compute the color of a surface based on its properties and the lights in a scene. Objects that are in the path of a light cast shadows, otherwise, their presence does not affect the lighting of other objects. Ambient occlusion improves this model by accounting for the dimming caused by objects that block out ambient light. An example of this is the junction where a wall and a ceiling meet; while no direct shadows are cast, the corner nevertheless appears darker. Ambient occlusion simulates this phenomenon, along with all other cases where objects are close enough to block out ambient light.

i repeat my question again that will this card last me for 2-3 years on 1680x1050 resolution?

also iam 2 excited cant wait for my card

if u wanna get the 295 u should also invest in a good 24 HD monitor.

akeedthe · 04-29-09

yup...24" should be good enough...i think 30" is a bit too much...imagine getting crysis to run at that resolution - 24" and most ingame settings at VERY high and you're set for a good while
