Hey guys. I am new to programming and am taking an introduction class in C++. We have a homework assignment which we are suppose to implement Conway's Game of Life. It's a simple assignment with simple rules but I can't seem to get it to run properly. Most of the framework of the code was...

Hey all, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my rig. I was running a C2D E8400 and Geforce 9800GT. Went ahead and got an ASUS motherboard, an EVGA GTX 570HD, 8GB of RAM and an i-2500k. I went ahead and installed everything fine, reinstalled Windows, got my applications back up and...

Oh my oh my. Well, time to gun for a complete overhaul then. Exciting to me, quite a downer for my wallet!

It isn't overclocked but I could if I wanted. Man, so would I have to completely give my system an overhaul if I want to play BF3 on high to ultra? I figured my video card was the main hold back.

Do you think it would be worth it for me to upgrade now, then? I would probably have the money to spend (and I could sell the card) at that time. I guess what would make it worth it is, would I be able to run a game like BF3 much better? Here's my specs: Intel C2D E8400 4GB of RAM (DDR2)...

Mine got delayed as well. I wish I didn't pick 7 day shipping with it either, probably will be a long time before I see it. "12/13/2011(updated)" Still in production too so I doubt I'll see it then. Bummer, it was expected to come my final day of my finals :/

I have a 9600GT right now, struggling very much with BF3. So tempted to get this. How much further out in time are the newer generation of cards?

Can you shoot me a PM or reply with a link so I can read what yall are discussing?

I snagged one, I can't wait. And good thing I did, 40 dollars less in savings now.

Seeing how weak the rest of the Republican field is, I wouldn't be so confident in that thought.

I'm curious, are IPS monitors more for general/development use and not for gaming? I do a bit of graphic editing, a little bit of coding, but I'd also like to game on games. Would this be okay?

I cannot wait to play this!

I am helping a friend build his computer, he has plugged his 24 pin connector in his motherboard and when he does that, the power supply turns on and the CPU heatsink fan spins. When we plugged in the 2x4 power connector the power connector that powers the CPU and try to turn on the power...
