Thanks guys for your quick response. I was going DW to take advantage of dual weapon enchants later on as Borealis pointed out. The only limitation to DW is that you can't block right? I believe when I press M2, it just swings my offhand. And thanks for the reassurance on light armor, I'll...

I just picked up the game on the Steam sale Yesterday and am loving it so far. However I'm looking for some advice on character builds, so i don't run into the same problem I had with Oblivion - namely I spread myself out so thin and get to a point in the game where I am underpowered and quit in...

Ahh as I said I only tried it very briefly before I left for work. That would make it nicer. But still having to double confirm your choice seemed weird at first glance. Just a minor nitpick. I'm sure the controls will work beautifully if I plug in my 360 controller. That's how I played...

I preloaded the game last night on steam and played the first level very briefly before heading off to work. I'm running a 1st Gen Asus G53JW. I can either run the game at 1080P with Tesselation / AA / SSAO / off at around ~20 frames OR run with everything on at 720P and around ~40 - 60 FPS. I...

FYI for all the people talking about Combat in Witcher 2, a trailer was released that describes the new gameplay. I highly recommend it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBCjYWmQnCc Personally I couldn't get into Witcher 1, because the combat / level up systems didn't interest me. However...

I'm in a similar boat, torn between Asus G53 and G73 variants. TigerDirect now carries the new XT1 Version, which is think is the best of both worlds G73s, compared to the Amazon XAW and A1 versions http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&sku=A50-17326 The XT1 is $1499 and it has a Blu...

SpiceDaddy, Inputs can very easily become outputs. If you need proof look no further than any of the C-Media 5.1 surround capable chips found of many a integrated motherboard. On my motherboard, the ASUS P4S8X, the c-media chip provides three std rca input/ ouputs.. In order they are Line...

Rick67, First off don't worry about the ATI Display Details not showing AGP 8X. That is a known bug. Your card is running at AGP 8X. You can check this buy looking at your system information in 3DMark2001SE. 3DMark will correctly show that your system is running at AGP 8X. The bug in the ATI...

Smilin, If you download the leaked beta drivers, which you can find at driverheaven, you can enable Truform manually via the registry. Otherwise you can just wait till the next official release. Furthemore, if you have the ASUS P4S8X go download the latest beta bios 1004.002. You can...

Hey Guys, No you are not entirely screwed. Many people are getting success over at the Rage3D forums by using the leaked drivers and disabling shadows. The link for that thread is here: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=d47b43cd41dc72852460d1fe49b9adc1&threadid=33634857 Of course...

Hello All, Sorry it took me so long to reply. Being a Penn State student, i had a few drinking obligations this evening :) Regardless, to answer your questions... Blit45, My ram is currently running DDR333 at the most aggressive timings. Initially however, for installing windows XP the ram...

Rick67, I'm using the Bios that came with the motherboard. Apparently the reason the P4S8X was initially delayed was to correct the AGP 8X compatibility. As a result almost all the motherboards available are loaded with the newest beta bios 1003a. This is not even available on the ASUS's...

Hi Everyone, I've been reading alot of posts of people not getting their new AGP 8X motherboards and Radeon 9700's to cooperate. Well, I just recieved my parts yesterday, including: ATI Retail 9700 Pro - DLJ Systems ASUS P4S8X - Knowledge Micro P3 2.53 - googlegear Corsair XMS 512 CAS2 PC3200...

Smilin, I received my card yesterday too, and it too works like a charm. Just wanted to let you know that both the gripes you posted about are known issues. Truform will be enabled officially in the next round of drivers. Of course, if you want it now you can download the betas and manually...

Lets not panic here. As far as we know these are just isolated incidents. According to ATI there are no problems found with AGP 8X and the Radeon 9700. Here's a direct quote from an ATI representative on the Rage3D forums: I guess we'll have to wait see. Once people start getting their new...
