    Energy problem with 560Ti?

    About 8 months ago I put together the following setup: Core i7 2600 (no overclock) 3x2Gb DDR3 MSI GTX 560Ti Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3 motherboard At the time I used a Corsair VX 550W PSU to power it. The reviews on this PSU were very good, and a lot of people suggested it was more than...

    Is a Corsair 550VX enough for this?

    These are the parts: Core i7 2600 Sandy Bridge 3x2GB RAM 1600Mhz MSI Geforce 560Ti 1 hard drive, 1 optical drive No overclock (other than the small OC that comes with the video card) Is a Corsair 550VX enough to run this? The video card says it only requires 500w, but I want to make sure.

    Flash player stopped working

    My flash player suddenly stopped working. Where it's supposed to be a flash thingy on a website, I only see a white box. If I right click this white box, I still get the Flash menu, and can even change some settings, but I can't get it to work. This is happening in all browsers I tried...

    Sapphire 4850 512MB stuck at PCI-e 1x

    Reseating the card put it back at 16x and game performance seems normal again, thanks! I'll probably get a new case though.. the place where you put the screw to hold the card is too wide, and doesn't hold it properly. Also, I may have done something stupid while reseating, and my PC...

    Sapphire 4850 512MB stuck at PCI-e 1x

    Ok, I've been having some performance issues at games, and now I noticed that my video card is stuck at PCI-e 1x, when it is supposed to be 16x. I checked both in GPU-Z and ATI Catalyst, and they both show it as 1x. I never checked this before, so I don't know if it was already like this when I...

    HD 4850 - slow 2D performance?

    My 8800GT recently died and I got a 4850 to replace it. I removed the nVidia drivers and ran Driver Sweeper before installing the ATI drivers. While performance in games seems fine, my 2D performance in regular desktop is terribly slow. Things like scrolling a web page, dragging a window and...

    Looks like fileplanet will do warhammer open beta

    Just like the AoC "open" beta, where you had to pay for a Fileplanet subscription to get in?

    Oblivion: I want mods!

    Natural Faces is awesome for faces. There's also a beauty pack for the Natural Faces addon, but I personally didn't like it (to me it looked like everyone was wearing lipstick and eye makeup, even the men). Also look for Exnem's female body replacer (has an underwear and a no-underwear...

    What I?ve learned about PC gamers (who aren?t me)

    I know how you feel.. my brother can't tell the difference between 10fps and 30fps, or between a game at max settings and lowest settings. Also, most of my friends and family don't notice flickering on their monitors.. Even in these forums you'll notice people that, for example, don't notice...

    Age of Conan Buddy Keys now available

    I got the email from Funcon, but I cancelled my subscription long ago, so I'm not sure if I'll have it.. Edit: Apparently I can still invite people.. if anyone wants it, send me a PM with your email. Be warned, though, the game sucks :/

    What is the best game you've ever played?

    Baldur's Gate 1 Fallout 2 is a close second, but when I first played it I was too young to get all the jokes..

    I used it to find cod4 servers, but since I don't play it anymore I haven't opened xfire in a while...

    Anyone Holding onto their 8800GT

    Keeping my 8800GT as well, since it's still more than enough. Crysis is a sucky and short game. Play on mid settings if you have to, and get over it.

    Can someone explain leveling in diablo II 1.12 to me please.

    The cdkey for D2+LoD is for sale at 9 dollars here: http://www.cdkey-store.com/diablo-2-cd-key-p-1.html I kinda feel like buying it, but I'm having a hard time justifying it to myself :P So, the point of multiplayer is to make uber characters? I know that playing by myself I burn out at...

    Can someone explain leveling in diablo II 1.12 to me please.

    I don't understand why people play D2 online at all. You get rushed to level 90+, and then what?
