    So guys iwe downloaded the whole damn package yesterday, and gave it a go, and the results are really good looking, Warmonger ran like stink, now with physix cuz without it its extremely slow even on my setup, I loved that Great Kulu demo but since the Idiots at nvidia decided only GTX200 series cards can accelerate its physics it sux (it ran quite well even without physix on my rig, maybe nvidia is afraid cuz no one will buy those huge power hungry tracktors because their current cards can run these games just as good)


    but the most impressive software in the power pack is this

    yes thats right, this baby is encoding Video using the massively powerful parallel processors on my G92 8800GT, and its so impressive what you are seeing is it encoding a part of Cloverfield retail DVD in to a 720P HD video 5Mbps/H.264 @ 1.5X real time, and that is massively fast cuz on my CPU (core 2 Duo E6420 @ 3.4GHz) it only manages to achieve about 6FPS on Nero recode to do this same thing, and the fastest software H.264 encoder i know is the one with Sony Vegas pro 8 only manages ~15FPS.

    Now i figure i dont need to update my processor afterall,

    so u can do it in about 2hrs (for me it take more than 9 hrs :lol: )

    lol actually it takes abt half of the time the movie runs, so mostly its much less than two hours (mind u im talking abt up converting to HD and encoding using H.264, if use something like Nero Digital format, to encode to a non HD resolution the CPU can handle it in 20 minutes but its not the same thing)
