    Computer almost usable. How well will games run before I get a dedicated GPU?

    This is my nearly final computer. All it needs are the rest of the parts. In August I'll be buying both the CPU and RAM. If I have enough money left over I'll buy the enclosure in the same month. September I'll be buying the optical drive and another HDD. Same month will be when I get the...

    Considering GTA IV for PC, what are the essential mods/fixes?

    I'm considering buying both this and Episodes from Liberty City when the computer I'm building is fully completed. Everyone recommends to me the ENB mods. I'll see when I finally have the Radeon HD6950 unlocked to 6970 and the 1080p monitor. Oh I already have a 360 wired controller. I'll let...

    What's a reasonable price I could sell this pre-built tower for?

    What's a reasonable price I could sell this pre-built tower for?

    So after the computer I'm building is finished, what could I sell my pre-built Compaq for? I don't want to overcharge selling it but want to be able to put money down for this GPU but buying from Amazon. Here's the specifications for the Compaq pre-built I'm currently using. I won't be using...

    New receiver 7.1 HDMI question.

    New receiver 7.1 HDMI question.

    The only phone I own is a cordless, no cell or smart and certainly not an iphone. The multi-region Oppo 971H is only DVD format, not HD DVD or Blu-ray disc so it's no problem. All others will be HDMI. Excluding the Oppo and eventual Wii. I don't even own a PS3 yet. All this is future planning in...

    New receiver 7.1 HDMI question.

    Okay going to use a DVI to HDMI cable for video on my multi-region Oppo 971H DVD player but fiber optic for audio. Going to sell my stand-alone Blu-ray disc player when I get the PS3 60GB launch (emotion chip for hardware compatibility with PS2 titles) so that'd be another HDMI. DVR is going to...

    New receiver 7.1 HDMI question.

    Alright cool thanks. Was planning on saving for $600-$800. Right now I'm just using the Sony STR-DE598 which is damn old.

    New receiver 7.1 HDMI question.

    Thanks. Just attempting to figure out to have seperate speakers or I could just have the video from the GPU go to the receiver and have the speakers still be wired from the tower. Or have both video/audio go from the HDMI on the GPU to the receiver but not have it go through the HT speakers but...

    When to keep AC3 audio track for a video encode

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema. But 5.1 remixes on audio tracks which originally weren't defeats the purpose. But retaining 5.1 if it was originally there then sure.

    HD6950 1GB or 2GB???

    6950 2GB since you'll be able to unlock it to 6970. It's what I'll be doing in the future.

    New receiver 7.1 HDMI question.

    Looking for an HDMI 7.1 receiver with LPCM, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD with two outs and six/eight inputs. One of the inputs will be from the 6950 2GB unlocked to 6970 over HDMI to the receiver and then to an HDMI monitor as HDMI out 2. Now for desktop speakers, can I set them up as...

    So I'm building a different computer compared to the other one and was considering the following. Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit will be the operating system. Case Power Supply Motherboard CPU RAM GPU x4 HDD x4 SSD Disc Burner x2 Am I good to go? What about keyboard, mouse, monitor and...

    So sorry, the PhysX card was a completely random idea and no I wasn't going to buy it. Having a conniption fit I was even considering it? That's your problem and not mine. I didn't buy the ASUS AM3 890GX Pro and got it for a birthday present. So nah not going to sell it or return it so it's not...

    Thank you again for calling me out on my shit for going to get an AMD CPU instead of Intels Sandy Bridge. If you want me to have one so fucking bad why don't you gift me the money so I can buy both the motherboard and CPU for it? Otherwise, shut the fuck up about it. OH YEAH WAIT A FEW MORE...

    I have zero idea until I use it when my build is finished. I have discs of Windows 95 and 98SE laying about. Can I use them when doing VMWare for the older games which I own which Windows 7 have problems with? Will the Dolphin emulator run smoothly on this build? I'll start asking now if x...

    OS simulator for gaming

    So VMWare would work with games such as System Shock 2, Grim Fandango and other older titles?

    Slowly and Gradually Building New PC.

    It was a random piecemeal thought which I assumed I needed a dedicated card to handle PhysX instead of driver hacking. A pipedream without the video game. For the SSD, I'm just gonna say fuck it and keep selling stuff on eBay until I get one. Perhaps parts from the computer I'm currently using...

    To all prior posters to this post, I'd just want to know whether or not to hold off on SSD drives for now due to pricing and the PhysX card was a random idea which I doubt I'd go forward with. Sorry I'm boring everyone with film babble so I'll kindly shut the fuck up now and stop posting in my...

    Slowly and Gradually Building New PC.

    Only considering a PhysX card way down the line but if I can used hacked drivers so be it. For SSD they'd need to be priced more affordable so I might buy one a couple years from now and re-install the operating system. Too out of my budget for what it offers. Same thing with me and Blu-ray...

    Slowly and Gradually Building New PC.

    I've researched more AMD compared to Intel and dead set on what I'm purchasing. Wouldn't a PhysX card be able to go for on the cheap? Possibly a 9800? For SSDs I'd be more willing to buy one when they become far more affordable. EDIT: For GPU I'll be buying the 6950 2GB and unlocking to 6970...

    Okay so when I'm installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on the computer I'm building and when it asks for drivers, just use the CDs which came with everything? THEN update after full installation? I hope I have my enclosure ready when I want to move over the data with my current HDD to the new...

    Asterisk are games I'm going to get. What about the discs which came with the motherboard and everything else? Should I load those up when I get the computer completed? Completed Mk. I due to I can still play games without the stand-alone GPU but not very well. Any links to guides on full...

    Slowly and Gradually Building New PC.

    Okay what should I do if I want to do PhysX? Get a nVidia 9800? Or should I read on the thread for it? I know my 8400 GS will not cut it. EDIT: Since I'll be using this as a multi-region DVD/Blu-ray disc player also, along with AnyDVD HD, would MPC HC be alright? Already has a built-in codec...

    Does anyone use a gamepad that isn't an xbox 360 controller

    Or you could use XPadder with 360 controller. I'm still looking for profiles for games.

    Does anyone use a gamepad that isn't an xbox 360 controller

    I use the XBOX 360 wired controller and for games which don't support it, XPadder. Only problem with it is creating profiles for games.

    Actually I was slightly considering some Green UV/Green LED fans if they were dark enough more because Green Lantern case mod but nah. Only time I'd actually use Blue LEDs for a case is if I'd do a case mod which is TRON themed. Classic TRON of course.:awe: But no "ricing" it up for me, thank...

    But I am downloading quite alot of high resolution texture mods for various games. Well, stock but better resolution type along with ENB/etcetera and very nice detailing. Current CRT monitor for now then going to buy a 1080p or 1920x1200 LCD monitor with nice contrast levels. Then going to...

    I'm also a film fanatic is also the reasoning for the burner. Movies broadcast in HD, OAR, film grain retained of which aren't even on Blu-ray disc yet I'll be making BD's of. AVCHDs are cake-walk but why not just have better bitrates? Thing is I haven't even finished listing them all!:D
