scaling affects post processing effects, specifically the resolution of post processing effects in hardware mode. 1x is the buggiest as it will be equal to the internal resolution you set - which might be disproportionate to the native resolution. 2x - 6x are multiples of the native resolution.
Since I have it set at 3x, that means in Shadow of the Colossus the blurring / depth of field effects are rendered at 1536x1536 (3 x 512).

Samrat4u -
I took at look at the 9600GT offerings of those three companies, and I realized the 9600GT DOES have a 1024 mb version.
I also noticed that there are multiple models of the 9600GT for each company--some have 512mb, some have 1024mb, and others are overclocked versions.
I don't know which ones you are looking at, but the XFX might be more expensive because of one or more of the following reasons:
1) XFX has lifetime warranties on its cards, as opposed to # of years after purchase. (More product life)
2) That particular model is a 1024mb version, as opposed to a 512mb version. (More performance)
3) That particular model is an already-overclocked version, as opposed to normal stock speeds. (More performance)
I'll need to know exactly which models and versions you're looking at.
Can you elaborate?

just Go get an XFX or an EVGA card since they will be worth Ur money and just go with Ur gut as well since U'r the one thats gonna use it although i'm using an ATI 4870 right now Im plannin on selling it to get an Nvidia gtx250 since although the card performed well on newer game's some of my older and a few online game's have driver related problem's in it and it's godDamn annoying a heck of lot of my older game's[MG Substance,and a lot more] does not work well either ending up on a BSOD or a hang up although I can fix it with using older driver's it's the newer game's turn to have a problem[like the last remnant and a few more] they wont run at all using the older drivers its turning me insane so I'll just go back to Nvidia again never had those problem on Nvidia cards I'll just buy myself One after selling my card to a friend

i bought my E8500 + nvidia 9800 GTX more than a year and a half ago, is it good enough or do I need an update to run most PS2 games with PCSX2 ?

It will be good for most games, only the most demanding games will run at low speed. If you know how to overclock you have a great pc for pcsx2.

CPU: C2D E8400 @ 3.6

What about the Radeon HD 5870? Is this card more powerfull for the pcsx or the diference arent this bigger in comparison with the 9800gt? Im thinking in buying one if the diference are enought.
By the way, ive tryed the game Odin Sphere on my 7600GT and on a 8800GT of a friend and see no diference, theres still the same slow downs and framerate dropdowns (at the first and last opening sections for example), does a significant diference realy exist from one card to another or is it slightly?
And what about the project? is it canned or is it still moving, because its has been a long time without official release and im beggining to worry.
Thanks.

Is the 5870 more powerful than 9800gt? Definitely.Will it help for your games? It depends on the games and if they're bottlenecked by the card or the CPU.

Again it depends on what is causing the slowdowns on the game, could be CPU or GPU and well if it's CPU then getting a better graphics card may change nothing at all (except being able to run higher resolutions i guess
)

There's still betas (last was march plugins pack) and you can always check the SVN googlecode page for current updates, stable releases don't really say much.
