    Newegg Chared my Deleted Credit Card on Next Order via Mobile APP (android)

    Has anyone else experienced this? I regularly rotate several credit and debit cards for payment on my newegg account, and order often. I have to add the payment method/card for the purchase, and then when I sign in later to order something new, I delete the last card used, and I add a card, the...

    Video Encoding and newer Intel Quads

    Hard drives + CPU revision + OS(maybe). The 4GB is n/a. If you tested both with a single hard disk, say, a 250GB or something, for the source and destination, they would bench equal. I didn't dig on the details but I believe both of your boars should have sata @ 3Gbps (300MB/s max). My bet...

    Most influential Graphic cards in history

    riva128/voodoo/voodoo3/gf256/4200ti/9700pro/6600GT/1900xt512/8800GT Thats the story of my life at least. I've owned and disowned tons of 6800s, 1900xtx, 1950s, 8800 ultraX2 and a 320, and more, but them's the cards I stuck with and love(d). Edit: Too many vid cards are made, seriously.

    What is best gaming card for AGP 4x slot?

    oblivion sucked on my 1650 pro 512MB, even with a dual core at 2.5 pushing it at a modest 1366x768 resolution. The 1GB of ram is really going to KILL the oblivion experience as well, as with less than 1.5 or 2GB it generally sucks. You can buy a 360 or PS3 with oblivion for about the same...

    Far Cry 2 / FIXED

    You will need to edit the config file for the game. This happened to me too. My Documents/My Games/Far Cry 2/GamerProfile.xml, right click and open with either xml editor or wordpad. You'll need to edit this line: <quality ResolutionX="800" ResolutionY="600" It will probably say...

    Best crossfire setup for x2 2.5?

    that IS a good deal.. 125? Wow, I have a credit there too.. hmm... and yeah I was hoping to not get stomped for saying the gso is '80%' of the 8800GT, but based on SP's and clock speed/mem speed its not bad and sorta close to that mark; much faster than 8600 at least.. Anyhow, regardless, the...

    Best crossfire setup for x2 2.5?

    funny I just found an article on this almost exact question on another site from 10/24.. .. .. What was shown was that with a 2.8Ghz Athlon X2, using a 9600GSO(512MB, 96 SPs and 550mhz core) vs a HD4850 512MB, there was a massive, 100% increase or more (except for crysis which was about 50%...

    Best crossfire setup for x2 2.5?

    A CPU upgrade has been almost impossible to come by at the right price. I'm just stuck on my current, old mobo, I love it too much to pass on it. Old, but it's still got E-Sata, everything. A new 3.0Ghz AMD x2 is about 90 bucks, but I'm on socket 939 and so people who paid something like 800...

    Best crossfire setup for x2 2.5?

    well I read and searched enough to answer my question and yes, a hd4870 or a 260 would do great, with essentially free AA, but I'll not be taking anywhere near full advantage of the card's potential. (minimum and average framerates being the biggest negative point) I was hoping there was a...

    Best crossfire setup for x2 2.5?

    I want to move from my 22" at 16x10 to a 24" or bigger for 1920 res, and I know the single card just wont cut it, or at least, that model. I'm pretty fond of AA as well, so I suppose I want to get the most you know? I might be a bit CPU limited, but that lessens at higher screen res, and even...

    Best crossfire setup for x2 2.5?

    I'm running an x2 3800 at 2.5 stable, 2G OCZ platinum sync'd to fsb(250), and with an XFX 8800GT 512MB Alpha Dog, retardedly on an ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe (crossfire) board. I'd like to sell the 8800 and go crossfire. The 8800 plays all games I've thrown at it, crysis included, although at...

    PhysX F.A.Q. Compilation of questions I am finding throughout the forum.

    fluidmark is not multithreading yet and therefore not a valid test for multicore x2 @ 2.5 w/physx on 8800gt = core1 avg 60%, core2 avg ~1% x2 @ 2.5 w/software physx = core1 avg 100%, core2 avg ~1%

    PhysX F.A.Q. Compilation of questions I am finding throughout the forum.

    Keys what method are you using? Fraps? The 1.3 benchmark tool? That hardspell article is mighty, ah, questionable. I'll have the 3870 in my box in about 15 minutes, will see if I can do anything useful with it and my 8800 paired up

    PhysX F.A.Q. Compilation of questions I am finding throughout the forum.

    Has anyone tested a decent ati card with a decent nv card for physx under XP yet? I was going to do some UT3 benches with an 3870/8800gt but surely someone has already done it? If not I'll do it..

    Would you pay $1,000 or more for the data on that drive? Cause you might have to. If it's that important, DON'T spin it up, and send it to a pro data recovery; any power-ons can wreck the platters. Or throw it away.
