if the pvp ios are cheaper you can slot it up with 4 of those and get almost as good of dmg with some decent set bonuses that don't exempt

On that subject, it's kinda weird. I've been placated by psy blasters without being hit by them. Not sure how it's possible. May be some insane lag or something, but I clearly got placated when the only person attacking me was a psy blaster....and i took zero damage. This has happened twice in the last 2-3 months. -

At this point I got bored of searching through my previous posts for the relevant bits.
Look, here's the short version. Nvidia GTX 200 series cards are way over-priced for their feature support and performance, and they are end-of-lifed. The series has been such a collective disaster for Nvidia that their top tier partners have either started producing ATI cards (XFX), or left the market altogether (BFG). As of right now, Nvidia only has one Top Tier Partner left (EVGA), and even they've been muting the possibility of ATi cards in the coming months.
Nvidia's GTX 400 cards are not as over-priced for their feature support and performance as their GTX 200 cousins, but they are blazing hot and have massive power-requirements.
If you bought and Nvidia card after the RadeonHD 57xx and 58xx series launched: You. Got. Ripped. Off.
If you buy one now:You. Are. Getting. Ripped. Off.
Period, stop, end of story.
***
Now, since you've already made the purchase, not a whole lot you can do. Yes, the RadeonHD 5850 can blow past SLI'd GTX 260's without even thinking about it, and if you really want to spend another $300... that's the way to go.
***
That being said, I just told somebody with a RadeonHD 4870x2 to hold off and not buy new cards although they were looking at upgrading: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=224002
Television (the developer) has a couple of multi-gpu modes active on the test server. One of the known modes does offer excellent acceleration on SLI'd cards. My own GTS 250 Triple SLI setup can push 1680*1050 with all Ultra Mode settings maxed and maintain 20~25fps atop an Athlon64 6000 and a Core 2 Duo @ 2.67ghz.
It's been indicated there is more headroom to be gained in Multi-gpu modes, and as of right now, both Nvidia's and ATi's drivers are incredibly immature at accelerating fast-pass rendering in multi-gpu configurations.
So, I really wouldn't advise you to go out and spend more money now.
wow ati fan much? lol the 200 line for nvidia was extermley successful and it was not until ATI produced the 5XXX line that they could beat Nvidia (beat ..the 4870/90 and x2 were comparable but had their own issues).
historically coh never ran well with ati - and never (and even with ultra mode) does not support sli crossfire. It is up to the vendor to create a profile to get sli in a fashion..
COH was one of the few games to support physix but only the original card from what I understand (which was really just an 8600 with no video out)...
I bought 2x 260gtx's and have them in sli on my main gaming system - they cost me about 120 each on sale. 260gtx sli will stomp all over a 5850...a 5870 will come close and beat it in some games....I know this because I also own a 5870 in my second system downstairs. Sure is supports DX11..I play my DX 11 games all the....oh wait.
bottom line is - if all you play is COH and are happy the fail to support the latest high end features like SLI and Crossfire..and you don't want to play on more than one monitor then by all means - sell your 260's and get a 5870 ( best single bang for your buck right now). -
update your nvidia drivers - there were a set that caused COH not to load.
-
I can log on to test but when I fire up my coh client for live it says connecting and tries over and over (waited till try#6)...anyone else having issues? Is something going on?
-
the original ladder started with a tourney - single fights 8v8 for ranking over two nights that was decided by the captains and pvpec. Probably need 6 teams at least to show up and do that to get rankings and go from there. Establish official fight nights as sunday @9 on test. Have groups show up and get some practice time in (they can agree on thier own practice nights other than sun) - and see we have 6 teams...cuz even though people have posted rosters - it looks like we have 3...
just start showing up - does not matter if you're ready to run to #1 or not...this won't work if it's just 3 teams...learn by doing...practice with the other teams..glhf all that...otherwise it's a lot of forum text and no ladder... -
buy one

hmm was not really thinking a long term thing - and the random match ups would mean an even chance of losing depending on the ats you got matched up against...I know there are plenty of people who 1v1 or 2v2..just a matter of putting up an expensive io.
-
also easily done as a 1v1 limit of 16 or 32 entires for easy math...
all other rules the same - -

that is the fun of it - no one goes in expecting to lose...you're just putting a little money where your mouth is. You don't lose it costs you nothing , win once you only lose the io you won, win twice you are still two ios up..
just getting interest at this point. -
got the idea from watching Yu Gi Oh...call it COH Battle City Tourney -
2v2 - standard arena set up -
ts,hd off dr on
random maps
tier 1 insp only
no dual ats (no 2 blasters, no two stalkers etc)
same banned powers etc
1 match 10 mins - reset in first 2 mins for dc only. 1 reset per team.
entry fee is one of the following procs (per player)
Panacea + heal
Glad Jav Chance for
Sheild wall tp res
Glad Armor tp res
Apoc Chance for neg
(the full list can be agreed upon)...
Simple rules - winners get losers procs. Winners advance to next round losers are out.
Limit to max of 16 team sign ups for easy math.
match ups would be random
potential for winning teams to get up to 4 procs per person.

There may have been groups that only played their starters but any team I lead wasn't like that. I played everyone that was in OS and even gave every person interested in joining OS a chance to try out (whether or not they got in depended on a team vote). That's just the way I lead the group. Example: I let Rick and Jimmay try out and left their fate to a vote. Even Chaos King got a chance and I still nerdrage to Jimmay every chance I can about that one.
That being said, I'd be interested in joining a team but I don't plan on leading one.

Back on point regarding new people getting rolled and running off the ladder compensates for that. You move up it by challenging teams above you and winning . People get rolled in practicesn etc and learn to get better. When it was Jal Fol and Velocity they were practicing with each other . Rolling a lower a lower ranked team did nothing for u unless your feel good tank was empty. Lower team would ask to practice to learn to get better. You got better challenged the team above you..win sometime lose some time and try again.

I would suggest test as a better option..and freedom to fall back on if test goes down like it did for 12 closed beta. It makes it so much easier for buids and ios and even with the free server transfer u probably have people with viable toons on other servers or if old players come back who did not get in on it.
