    Are graphic cards coming out faster than ever before?

    Theres nothing wrong with my card, my game does run normally around 60fps just like that chart shows. When theres tons of smoke, and gunfire it can dip quickly into the 20s, and that quick stutter I find annoying. Its annoying because its a title I play right here and now immediately after...

    Are graphic cards coming out faster than ever before?

    No, my GTS does not play everygame flawlessly. Even in COD4 I can get dips down to 25fps when theres smoke and lots of action. Its gonna differ for everyone based on resolution, I use 1680x1050. Slower!? Wow, I must be out of the loop since I hadn't upgraded my old 9800 for 5 years lol...

    Are graphic cards coming out faster than ever before?

    I remember my old 9800 Pro lasting me almost 2 years before it felt dated by games and new cards. I just bought my 8800GTS 512 and I figured I'd get more than two months of solid play before some new game or card would rub its glory in my face. I've seen three new cards come out since then, all...

    Crysis...

    I love these "Whats your opinion on X game" threads, its fun to critique things. Sometimes, its better to start a new thread to keep less pages and hear some new ways of expressing opinions even if its all been said before. Whether you like or dislike the game, Crysis will end up a milestone...

    Crysis Problem

    Nova that fixed it, thanks a lot! Once I removed that folder the game started up. I was wondering what would happen to those files in that directory but I see the game recreated them when I launched it. I was able to put back all my save games, so it must have been some other file in that...

    Crysis Problem

    Oh wow...just uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game. It still says Crysis has stopped working before the EA screen can even appear. On a side note why does patch 1.2 act like it has frozen itself and take like 20 minutes to complete? It stalled like that the first time I patched it too...

    Crysis Problem

    Well if I do have to reinstall, is there a way to access my saved games and retain them? No way I am going to start singleplayer all over.

    Crysis Problem

    Ok so I realized I should probably put COD4 down for a while and finish Crysis since I never did play through it yet. So I'm going along through the jungles at my usual 25ish frames per second and I am at the point after the village where a helicopter has been shooting at you and you cross that...

    Did anyone tell you yet to right click the game icon and set the compatibility mode for xp sp2 and to run the game as administrator?

    Battlefield 1942

    BF1942 was awesome. Desert Combat was legendary. When BF2 came out, I was happy to see that it was modern combat, but the fact that gameplay was entirley different made it a dissapointing release. Actually, i recently bought BF2 to play again since I now had a machine more than capable of...

    Digital photo frames

    Thanks for the replies guys. A presto printer is a printer that a person can plug into their phone line and receive pictures and emails automatically from family and friends (WHO HAVE COMPUTERS) without the recipient needing a computer or internet connection. Its made so that people who don't...

    Digital photo frames

    I figured some of you guys might know if there is anything on the market for digital photo frames that allows pictures to be displayed on a frame without a computer, usb, flash card or internet connection. Basically exactly like the Presto Printer from HP, but only dealing with displaying...

    Gigabyte Boards and DPC Latency

    Well I just got a reply to my email from tech support in regards to my EP35-DS3R. I asked them in the email when we might expect an official bios. The reply I got was in broken english and didn't answer the question. The reply simply said, here try this bios and check again. The bios they...

    Well the problem seems to have magically dissapeared. Im still curious if anyone else experienced this today. I did restart my computer before the problem seemed to end, dunno why it would help.

    Cod4 Punkbuster no packet flow

    Hey guys, I have had cod4 along with a few other punkbuster games working on my vista 32 machine just fine for the past couple months. I upgraded cod4 to 1.6 when it came out and have been playing with no problems. Just today 6/15/08, I am now getting kicked by punkbuster for no packet flow...

    Gigabyte Boards and DPC Latency

    I keep checking their website weekly since this thread was made for a new GA-EP35-DS3R bios, but f3e is still the latest one, which was there from the start. They sent me f3h as the fix for this board, but I decided to wait for an official release...which doesn't seem to be happening anytime in...

    Games that make you upgrade

    Built my first pc to play all games better since I was using a Vaio back then. I knew I was gonna try BF1942 on it at the time. Upgraded that PC with 1.5 gigs of ram and a 9800Pro 256mb 2 years later specifically to play BF2. I was pissed it cost me over 300 dollars to play my favorite game...

    Subwoofer - Leave on or turn off?

    I did some more reading about it and I guess its the transformer inside the sub box doing this and its supposed to be normal. http://forums.logitech.com/log..._date_ascending&page=1

    Subwoofer flips battery backup

    Standard 15 amp breaker on the panel. You'd think there would be some kind of warning not to plug speakers into the surge only outlets of a battery backup/surge protector if it was such a problem. I'm not doubting you, I'm just saying its wierd to me to buy a $150 surge unit, and then have to...

    Subwoofer flips battery backup

    Its a brandnew APC XS 1300 with a 15 amp breaker. Here is the spec page. http://www.apc.com/resource/in...cfm?base_sku=BX1300LCD I only have my pc, monitor, printer, modem, and speakers plugged into it. Theres a couple slots still empty on the back, and the speakers and printer are plugged...

    Subwoofer - Leave on or turn off?

    It does not have a standby, I wish it did though. Its a somewhat older 4.1 Logitech system, I think its 280 watts and was quite expensive 5 years ago when I bought it for over $100 bux. It sounds FANTASTIC, the subwoofer hum and having to flip it off down on the floor is the only thing that is...

    Low volume and bass ONLY watching DVDs

    I didn't want to have to install this old Power DVD software on my new vista machine if I didn't have to, but I think I will because I just viewed some Apple Movie trailers and the sound and bass was great....so much better than a DVD in media player. The apple trailers sounded like what I used...

    Subwoofer - Leave on or turn off?

    Yea, I would think it would be fine, but the only thing that has me worried is that it seems like the humming coming from the back of the amp on the sub increases in volume after a few days, and one time my surge protector told me it was being overloaded by beeping after a few days of leaving it...

    The BF2 disc freezes my Vista 32 bit system

    Ok this is really stupid but since I posted I figure I better respond incase someone was interested. I just tested the disc on my brothers xp machine and guess what, no workie. Very odd, I guess I'll be paying another 12 bux for a game i payed $50 for 4 years ago. Can someone tell me if theres...

    Subwoofer - Leave on or turn off?

    Lol, I just asked the same question in my thread about my computer's Logitech speaker subwoofer tripping my battery backup. My subwoofer has a built in amp that hums considerably, so I'm concerned if thats normal and a reason to turn it off when not in use. I didn't get an answer yet but I'll...

    Low volume and bass ONLY watching DVDs

    Im using the same speakers on my new pc. Everything sounds identicle between my old pc and my new one except for DVD's. My old computer which was running xp had Power DVD and Nero installed. I am trying to figure out if these offer better codecs for handling sound in DVDs. Basically on my new...

    Subwoofer flips battery backup

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. So it is normal then for an amp to draw that much power when turned on? Thats what I wasn't sure of. I guess I will buy an el cheapo surge protector and hook it into that, but I haven't been able to test whether or not it will still trip the battery back up...

    Antec 900 Intake Fan Filters?

    Oh I'm not sure about pre-made fan filters working or not, it looks like there could be room, but the drive bay covers connect right ontop of the fan; so I myself would probably go the custom route and just get some of that black filter mesh you commony see in vacuum cleaners. It could probably...

    Low volume and bass ONLY watching DVDs

    My new vista 32 machine is working well but when watching movies I wasn't happy with the sound volume or bass levels. So I installed an Audigy 2 because its what I had on my old pc which rocked the house with movies. The new card is working well, but again only when watching DVDs I feel like the...

    Subwoofer flips battery backup

    My sub is not plugged into the battery backup ports, it is plugged into the "Surge Only" ports. I didn't want to plug it right into the wall outlet. My bups is the APC XS 1300 so its a good quality one. My sub also did this on my old APC BUPS 500.

    Antec 900 Intake Fan Filters?

    I think the best thing to do for the front fans would be to go out and buy some thin porous foam padding or filter material and cut it into rectangular strips that could be easily slipped into the rectangular drive covers that go over the fans. Oh and let me know if your front audio ports...

    Subwoofer flips battery backup

    I was wondering if any of you could tell me why my logitech 4.1 sound system trips my battery backup when turned on. It usually only happens when the sub has been turned off over night. If I turn it on and off within a couple hours it doesn't do this. Also, I know when it is going to happen...
