    48xx problems exist or?

    4gb on buddies new computer, 2gb on my computer, 1 gb on the r9800 computer all same thing. basically windows shows up instantly when you hit the windows key but you cant move your mouse or do anything until after the flicker which is a second later. (2-3 if CCC is installed) winamp...

    48xx problems exist or?

    I should have made that clear. my bad ALT Tabbing is fine with Ati cards. Alt tabbing in and out of full-screen Games however... is where the problem is. normally you hit your windows key or alt tab out of your game, windows instantly appears, but windows is frozen for a few seconds...

    48xx problems exist or?

    It probably depends on your setup to some extent. Buddy and I went through the trouble of testing this on 7 different video cards with 4 different systems, over a 1 week time span to get to the bottom of it. that's how annoyed we were with the issue. if a system from 2001, and 2003 can...

    GTX280 speeds

    is there a specific reason these default speeds are sort of odd ball numbers? EVGA GTX280 FTW edition runs here at: 670 core 1215 memory 1458 shader I'll be running my GTX280 on water cooling so I was thinking of running it at 700 core 1300 memory 1500 shader each speed is...

    Q9450 or Q9550?

    I'm gonna be getting 6400 DDR2, so 400 will be my limit. I don't want to go too crazy hehe! Just enough to throw in that little extra pinch for games. I do a lot of adobe photoshop work / video encoding, that's the whole reason I went from the E8600 to the Q9550 in the first place. I guess...

    Q9450 or Q9550?

    let me clarify a bit. lets say you have 2 processors running at 3GHZ CPU1 = 400x7.5 CPU2 = 333x9.0 would games run faster on CPU1? from what I've personally seen in the past, it seems some tasks benefit from a higher multiplier and others from the higher FSB. maybe some one...

    48xx problems exist or?

    I know one thing for sure, there's a bunch of nit pick issues that some people get annoyed by with ATI. Alt tabbing is incredibly slow with a screen flicker, dragging videos around on your screen leave trails. CCC causes problems with people using G15 keyboards, macros are slow and delayed...

    Q9450 or Q9550?

    Is a 0.5 on the multiplier going to make a difference? I plan on running the FSB at 400 instead of 333 Games benefit more from a higher front side bus than a multiplier right? I remember back in the day when I used to overclock the multiplier only on my old Thunderbird, some tests in...

    LCD Input Delay

    yea, they are absolutely the best for color and contrast. i've seen alot of screens and not one of them compares to mine that isn't a similer samsung. but I just don't see why Half Life 2 and call of duty 4 is very quick responding (as quick as it gets anyway 20-30 ms delay) but ghost...

    LCD Input Delay

    This is really getting on my nerves, I cannot get or find a straight answer from anywhere, so lets try here. Are LCD screens in charge of or process specific input information that is fed into the computer? You'd think ALL input information, keyboard and mouse, is processed by the computer...

    Koolance Exos 2

    I just upgraded to the Exos 2 from the old original black exos they had released in 2003.

    Virus Scanners....

    thats exactly how I feel, I don't ever expose myself to area's that contain viruses, but i do have alot of important projects, that would really hurt if I ever did lose due to a virus. So i'd rather be safe than sorry. And Nod32 has satisfied me very much so far. I used to use Norton Anti...

    Virus Scanners....

    I'm just curious, upon reading alot of reviews, it looks like Bit Defender comes out on top of them all (or the vast majority anyway) My question is this, Alot of Virus scanners are very heavy on the system in terms of cpu usage, memory, and etc. Nod32 is Fantastic when speaking about...

    World of Warcraft On Max Settings

    what makes world of warcraft look amazing is the Gamma, darken it to about 30% from the default 50%. It makes all the colors come out better, it gives more of a mood, and make sure you have at least 8x AF, becuase when you look off into the distance, you dont want that nasty trilinear filtering...
