I had a XFX 6600GT PCI-E and BFG 6800 AGP between my two machines. Probably the epitome of bang-for-buck at the time, and for years after. I don't think I could get by at 1080P max settings with the present $200-range offerings. Eventually I went backwards and grabbed a GeForce4 Ti 4600 to drop...

If GMG doesn't make this right OP, then you can count me out too. That's pretty crappy of them.

Ditto, the G3258 is begging for an overclock. Ensure the cooling is up to the task (i.e. not stock Intel HSF) and get to it. Even Attila TW performance doesn't scale much beyond two cores, and hyperthreading too has very little impact. If I were you, I'd start with an overclock then look to...

I don't believe Pakistan is a sanctioned country on OFAC, so I don't imagine any trouble there. Depending on the amount and frequency of the transactions, I can imagine this triggering some suspicious activity concerns at your bank. Banks are required by the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) to submit a...

I'd recommend .NET 4.0 over 4.5, simply because 4.5 cannot run side-by-side with earlier versions of .NET, which breaks legacy software. In the slow-moving business world, we hate 4.5. :D

Necro'ing this thread as I gear up for Rome 2 this Fall. All I have to go by is this High 1080p DX11 benchmark, so I'm curious to see how xfire 6950s compare to beefy single card solutions. Running the canned DX11 High 1080p I get an average of 97fps.

Dead deal? Showing as $29.99 for me now.

Then try this: FLAME THROWER BATTLE!!!

AHAHAHA! A few pranks that I've pulled off in the office together for April Fool's: 1) Duct taped the elevation lever on my coworker's chair so that when he sat down, it would plummet. 2) Put scotch tape over the lens of his optical mouse. Took him a few minutes of troubleshooting...

May have thrown the game on purpose so he'd get placed low and be matched against noobs.

Funny I run into this thread. I actually just dropped a 6800NU (AGP) into a friend's ancient Vaio specifically to help him out with StarCraft 2. He was originally running on *drum-roll* a GeForce FX5200 PCI, and what's even crazier is that the game would actually RUN. Granted it was a slide...

Think I'm going to try this on a dead 7600GT and maybe bake some cookies at the same time.

Did you scribble over a dirty site there? ;)

Well I've never played the original Shogun, so it will be new to me! I just hope they return to their roots. Empire Total War was generally disappointing. I pretty much threw it into my backlog after my first siege battle, totally not what I was expecting even if it was historically...

Funny I find this thread, I just played through Sonic 2 and 3 over the past few weeks. My sister and I spent way too much time on Sonic 2 as kids, but I've got to give it to Sonic 3. Sonic 1: + Slightly faster Mario clone. + Crisp visuals and catchy music. - Can't spin dash. - No 2-player...
