    CryEngine3 3-5 times Crysis

    So when CryEngine 3 is released in 2012. Will we need a yet to be released GPU from 2016 to play the games based on it?

    Best AntiVirus & AnitSpam/Popup Software (Vista 64)?

    Overall I prefer and would recommend Kaspersky. But there are a few small configuration tricks to keep it running flawlessly. Firstly totally disable Windows Defender (can conflict with Kaspersky Antivirus) and exclude 'Search Indexer' from scanning. Also the community forum of Kaspersky is...

    New Video Card - Non Stop Bluescreens

    Vista puts a lot more stress on computer components (that may be marginal) and that's when software crashes.

    New Video Card - Non Stop Bluescreens

    Maybe you need to do a few tests by running Memtest+ on your PC for a couple of iterations. I'm no font of knowledge but I would check your connectors, your PSU and RAM. Been using Vista full time since SP1 and IMHO it's superior to Windows XP.

    Upgraded GTX260 Coming with 216SP

    *OMG* So now that I am just about decided about getting a GTX260 (EVGA Superclocked) nV goes and spoils my plans. :P So how much faster could a GTX*270* be over a superclocked GTX260?!

    Help me choose a graphics card

    Thanks for everyone's views and help. Really glad I found this forum with so many people willing to help out. I guess I also fee like I want to give ATI a chance. Seem to always want to support the underdog. At the same time I've had an 8800GTS for nearly 2 years and it's been great. I'm...

    Help me choose a graphics card

    I have an open mind. So the ATI HD4870 is a better choice? I'm trying not to be skewed, ready to listen.

    Help me choose a graphics card

    I think I'm going to stick with nV. The current 8800GTS 640MB I have has served me really well. So I think I'm going to stick to the nV brand this time.

    Help me choose a graphics card

    I have a new Antec P182 Gun Metal Black Case coming so I can accommodate a GTX260 :D With the nV GTX260 having the PhysX engine. I think it would work out well.

    Help me choose a graphics card

    :D Excellent I'll go for the EVGA Superclocked edition. I guess the EVGA GTX260 Superclocked probably won't be really much slower than the new revised 'GTX270' or whatever nV decides to call it.

    Help me choose a graphics card

    Thanks Elfear and Narynan! I have read a few reviews and I think that maybe the superclocked / overclocked EVGA or BFG GTX260 is a better choice for me. Now which one to choose, the superclocked EVGA or the overclocked BFG?!

    I really don't know which way to go. :confused: So my monitor is a 22" widescreen Samsung SyncMaster 226BW (Checked Samsung Panel), the games I play mostly is Bioshock, Sims2, Unreal Tournament 3 and maybe I'll get the new Crysis Warhead game. Initially I was going for the GTX280, then...

    GeForce GTX280 / GTX260 Power Connector

    Wow. Thanks! Thing is I have 2 SATA HDD, 2 SATA DVD-RW , 4GB RAM, Core2Quad 9450. So I still should be OK? I notice in your signature that you have ATI Graphics. What are your thoughts of the Radeon HD4870? :beer:

    GeForce GTX280 / GTX260 Power Connector

    I just called up PC Case Gear. Seems that my Corsair HX-620 620W Power Supply isn't really powerful enough for a GTX280. So I have no choice, GTX260 it is then. I was a bit surprised that the Corsair HX-620 620W Power Supply is not really powerful enough for an ATI4870. :(

    GeForce GTX280 / GTX260 Power Connector

    I'm Australian! :) In Adelaide. And yeah I plan on buying from PC Case Gear! What a coincidence.. :cool: So does this mean that I convert 2 6pin connectors and only need to connected the 1 8pin converted connector?

    Thank you for your help Sylvanas. The card I'm looking at is a EVGA GTX280 Superclocked. Do you think this is a good choice? I guess I'm going to call up the PC shop to double check before ordering.

    GeForce GTX280 / GTX260 Power Connector

    Sorry to hog the forums. Just one more question. I was having a close look at the Supplementary Power Connectors on the GTX260 and GTX280. The GTX280 says it has: One 8-pin + one 6-pin, and The GTX260 says it has: Two 6-pin My PSU has Two 6-pin connectors. Is there a connector...
