    New Build

    in reality I will likely still order from NCIX but yes your totally right very worth it and I should be able to price check no problem.

    New Build

    http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...ufacture=Intel http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=42...ufacture=Intel interesting idea but with NCIX at least it does not really seem worth it, unless I'm missing something (very very possible) Edit: checked TD and they are almost the same price but only...

    Older game and BenQ E2420HD

    Pretty sure its from the monitor itself, the graphics for the popup are just like the OSD for the monitor EDIT the word overlay might be more accurate then popup it does not interrupt the game or anything it just covers the center of the screen in an annoying way.

    Older game and BenQ E2420HD

    first off I hope this is the right place to ask I was not sure which subforum to use, I apologize if I am in the wrong subforum. I'm using a BenQ E2420HD LCD to play an older game at 1024x768, my native resolution is 1920x1080, I can deal with the low res and it even looks ok but every time it...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    GPU Usage

    So do you think http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21228%27 would help enough or should I switch mobos (just swithing the mobo itself will cost as much as the 6000) and get a http://www.ncix.com/products/i...400&manufacture=Intel? Edit I could go with...

    GPU Usage

    so I was messing around in UT3 today and looked up at everest in my taskbar and guess what, 90-100% cpu usage on both cores and it stayed that way until I finished playing so yeah despite my doubts it really does look like its the slow cpu, which is fine replacing it anyway.

    GPU Usage

    for the record my frame rates in Crysis are nearly identical across all settings in Dx9, not much gain at all. PS. thanks for the comments and suggestions so far :)

    GPU Usage

    Except performance was about 20% slower with the affinity set to one core, and I'm pretty sure all of the above games have pretty good multi core support dont they? I am planning to replace the CPU but I want to try an intel so I need a mobo first and my budget is rather small so it will be...

    GPU Usage

    cpu was sitting at approx 50-60% on each core the entire time, around 90-100% with affinity to one core. PS. Normally I have it OC'd to 2.9ghz but I'm using stock cooling and its summer here so I had to bring it down alittle. I am on 1280x1024 but I do not use vsync in any of the games I...

    GPU Usage

    Basicly when ever I am playing games such as Crysis, Age of Conan or Call of Duty 4 my GPU usage never stays above 40-50% there is the occasional spike upto 70ish but never more and never for more then a second or two, and this happens regardless of settings in game and also remains with stock...
