    Confusion in buying Asus Gtx 670 Direct CU II Top

    I purchased two of the TOP versions for sli. They were initially very unstable in BF3, crashing frequently but updating the bios via the Asus GPU tweak utility has completely solved the problem - no crashes since in any games. They run cool and quiet - very impressed

    Fallout NV graphics glitches corrected: d3d9.dll

    As I posted in another thread, forcing AA through the NV control panel (and disabling AA in the in-game configuration panel) solved the problem for me - using 8xQ AA without the white flashes (which I was also experiencing before the change). Using 2 x GTX480's in SLI. Now if only they...

    Giantbomb.com Fallout New Vegas Review - 4/5 Stars

    Was getting this same problem (GTX 480 SLI), tried disabling SLI with no difference. Ended up disabling antialiasing from the in-game configuration utility and forcing 8xQ from the nvidia control panel instead. Seems to have eliminated the problem.

    dual vs triple SLi

    I'm running GTX 280's in tri-sli and definitely see the difference vs. the dual GTX 280 SLI set up I had previously (found a third one cheap when they were being discontinued in favor of the GTX 285). I should also note that I am running at 2560x1600 where the tri-sli really pays off. If you run...

    ********BORDERLANDS discussion thread*******

    I'm getting smooth framerates (60fps) at 2560x1600 with SLI'd GTX 280's, all details maxed, no AA (but using EVGA sli patch as noted in previous post)

    ********BORDERLANDS discussion thread*******

    Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere in this thread but if you are using SLI, download the latest EVGA SLI patch. The profile in the 191.07 whql drivers uses the wrong executable (willowgame.exe instead of borderlands.exe) and causes in game technical problems (laggy menus and sudden...

    Auzentech X-fi Forte

    I have a strange problem with an Auzentech X-fi forte card (PCI-e). After I restart the computer (e.g. after installing new software, drivers etc.) I get crackling sounds when loading games (Demigod is my test case but there are others). If I shutdown the computer and then power up, there is...

    Mechcommander 1&2

    The download for Mechcommander Gold is an .iso file. I tried extracting it with WinRAR and using the setup file within the folder. It installed properly (using Windows 95 compatibility) but asks for the CD when starting. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong? Thanks...

    Anno 1404: Dawn of Discovery

    For some reason, the demo pushes my graphics card (GTX 280) to very high temperature (as high as 90C) so my fan is always maxed out. The demo doesn't seem to support SLI either. Granted I'm running high resolution (25x16) and very high settings, but even Crysis doesn't push my temps this high...

    Helldorado

    As the OP said, it's on sale via Steam for $15 which also has links to the website. Couldn't find any reviews on line but took the plunge since the price was decent. It is a continuation of the Desperados series (same characters even). If you liked those, you will feel right at home.

    Thief: Deadly Shadows and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened

    It's the third one. I'm running a dual core E8400 with no problem.

    Thief: Deadly Shadows and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened

    I am running Thief DS under Vista 32 using XP SP2 compatibility and Run as Administrator box checked. Works fine for me but you need to also need to tinker with the configuration to get the widescreen resolutions working properly (see Widescreen Gaming Forum for details). Not sure if this...

    What's the best 30" monitor out there?

    I'm also using the Samsung 305t and am running it with an C2D E8400 and GTX280 SLI configuration. Most everything runs extremely well with the exception of Stalker Clear Sky and Crysis at 25x16 which are both still a bit choppy. You will likely not be happy with a single GPU solution ...

    Endwar?

    Save your money. I purchased a PC copy to be able to run at a high resolution (25x16) but it was unavailable as a choice in the Options menu. Worse, there doesn't seem to be a configuration file you can modify unlike some Unreal engine games. Others have posted similar problems on the forum with...
