    120 Hz monitors

    Everything else being equal, at 120+ fps, 120hz certainly does make a noticeable difference. Also, I have a radeon 4850 and it most definitely cannot output > 120+ fps at any resolution above 1680x1050 in Bad Company 2, which means you wouldn't be able to tell the difference on a setup like...

    You're going to need grid keys to remap hot keys as there's no other way to do it. But once you do, it makes a world of difference. You can get them here: http://data-cube.org/?p=515

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for PC is now a LEGIT console port

    I think the bottom line is, even if you wanted to ignore most of the issues with a P2P hosting system so you could play this game we've all been anticipating, you're going to find it frustratingly bad because most people don't have fast enough connections to host a game. There's a lot of things...

    "AMD calls nVidia's marketing bluff"

    Sorry, not trying to single you out. Just trying to say in as little amount of words possible that he'll probably eventually just go away if you don't even acknowledge his presence. It'll make the forums more readable :-)

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for PC is now a LEGIT console port

    Obvious troll is obvious. Or idiot is obviously an idiot. I think this is a great example for these forums to have some kind of up/down voting tool ala Digg. Then most people wouldn't even have to read this garbage and we could just ignore it.

    STICKY: ATi 5xxx pre-release thread

    I've been running my radeon 4850 for the past year at 85-90 C idle, and around that at load (fan speed picks up). No issues at all so far and I don't have to deal with a super loud fan. Granted this is all anecdotal evidence, but if the manufacturer says 90-100 C is within safe operating temp...

    Street Fighter IV, actual PC release date?

    I don't know if I'm just one of the weird ones, but I can play pretty well on the ps2/ps3 analog stick. I've never really played sf seriously on an arcade stick, but it would seem to me that there shouldn't be much of a difference right? They're both analog sticks, and in fact the ps2/ps3...

    Street Fighter IV, actual PC release date?

    I actually care quite a bit as well, as I also don't own a console and find playing traditionally console type games to be a refreshing break from the typical PC fare. That being said, I have no idea. I hope though that the gameplay is closer towards SFA3 than it is towards the original...

    Quake Live

    I play it quite a bit. I'm not sure how you can measure whether it's taking off or not when it's a closed beta. They are making a lot of progress though, with new updates fairly frequently.

    Fascinating Story on the RV770

    I've read through all the comments in this thread and I have to say Chizow, you really sound Nvidia slanted. Both sides make good arguments, but you don't seem to want to acknowledge that. I don't understand why some people would argue so passionately about something that's part speculative...

    Quake Live Beta

    Not too much I guess. They've made some tweaks to weapon dmg, ditched old netcode for unlagged netcode, and other stuff I can't think of right now. Most of the griping in the forums right now center around minor bugs, annoyances, and some bad choices for game settings. Otherwise, there's...

    Man, if you guys are wondering wtf is going on, you should see the posts on the quake live forums. Some people are going bonkers. Apparently though this is some "quiet" period where they're fixing stuff on the back-end. Hopefully that translates into more invites in the near future! I...

    Dead Space the good kind of horror?

    Ass Creed was crap in the first place, but what was wrong with GOW's controls? It's basically your standard fps fare. I hope you're not bashing for the sake of bashing.

    Street Fighter 4

    I actually find using the analog stick on a ps2/ps3 controller as a great substitute for an actual arcade stick. No hamburger thumb and smaller distance to travel than a joystick. Maybe I'm in the minority here? Not sure if an xbox 360 analog stick is a good sub though.
