    **OFFICIAL** AT Battlefield 3 FAQ and News Thread

    I played on tugboat last night for the first time. First of all I had a blast. I apologize to any team mates who thought I was crazy running around not knowing where to go. I'm sure I also gave a few of you some good easy kills. I'm not very good at this game. I play from my couch on a 55"...

    **OFFICIAL** AT Battlefield 3 FAQ and News Thread

    I have pre-ordered BF 3 on the PC but have been out of multiplayer gaming for a while. The last game I really played against people was Modern Warfare 2 on the 360. Battlefield 3 looks amazing but I'm nervous since I don't know the maps at all and have no idea how to control the vehicles. Is...

    When is OpenAL going to catch up with EAX?

    Lossless audio out of HDMI makes sound cards irrelevant. I used creative products for years but now I do audio through my graphics card. With a good setup it sounds great, and by having the audio programming done using CPU resources you don't have to worry about some games supporting EAX...

    Does anyone play PC games on their tv?

    I game PS3, 360 and PC games on a 55" TV with a 7.1 surround system. It is amazing. Gaming on a small PC monitor doesn't compare. I have a wooden lapboard that I use for my Logitech G15, and G9. I use a USB-IR converter to use the wired keyboard and mouse sitting on my couch. The 2...

    When did gamers become such <insert expletive here>!?

    I totally agree. I don't like super hard games. Just give it scalable difficulty and let gamers choose how much punishment they want.

    Everybody's got that one turd sitting on their hard drive. What's yours?

    I installed Doom 3 now that I finally have a kick but 7.1 surround sound system. I have been lusting after this game for years but wanted it to be super immersive on my 55" TV with 1080P graphics and full surround. I spent hours trying to get the dang thing to run on my computer. I got...

    Please list your games....

    I have to say this thread is encouraging to me as I play more games than anyone I know. It's good to see that there is still a good PC gaming community that plays through lots of different series of games like I do. Also AdamK47 wins the thread for having the most games installed and the best...

    Please list your games....

    I only have one game installed at a time. I try to finish all my games so I don't want a bunch installed distracting me from whatever I'm playing. Just finished Vampire Bloodlines. Next probably Doom 3 + ROE.

    PC exlusive (or PC centric) games of past 3-5 years?

    I just finished Vampire Bloodlines this weekend. It's an older game but I thought it was great. No bugs or problems with the latest unofficial patch.

    So Dragon Age 2 is really bad on the PC and consolized?

    What are the chances that some of the complaints about the PC version can be fixed by mods? Could you mod in the ability to choose your companions armor?

    Does the wrt610n support 2 subnet masks and SSIDs?

    I'm looking at the Linksys wrt610n dual N router and am wondering if it supports 2 separate subnet masks and 2 SSIDs? Thanks.

    Analog for games and digital for music and movies from X-fi Platinum

    I have a sb X-fi Platinum on a computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 32. Is it possible to use analog out for games from the back of the sound card and optical from the front panel for movies and music? If so will I have to manually configure the output each time? I'd like to use the digital...

    X-fi to Home audio Receiver?

    Awesome. Thanks so much for the advice. I will probably just get the stereo to RCA splitters then. I'm planning on hooking my X-Fi up to a Denon 3808ci once I get my 7.1 home theater setup after taxes!

    X-fi to Home audio Receiver?

    Why is that? I have a sound blaster X-Fi platinum. If I want great surround sound for games through my receiver how should you hook it up? With the home theater cables Creative sells?

    Should faster download speed kill Hi-Def optical media?

    Someday maybe, but with the current infrastructure and the horrible DRM that I'm sure will accompany digital downloads I wouldn't hold my breath for it. I give Blu Ray at least a 10 yr life cycle.

    Question for those who own Blu-ray or HD DVD

    I only buy SD-DVD if the movie is in the $5 bargain bin and it doesn't have a lot of special effects. Otherwise I buy Blu Ray, although for most I will only buy BOGO or wait until I have gift cards to spend. I won't pay $30 for any new movies. I'm sure the prices will drop soon though.

    New 8800GTS - UPDATED with PICS

    Any news about the rumored 1gb memory GTS? or would it be to bandwith starved by a 256mb bus?

    The Planets align in December

    I was planning on upgrading to a Q6600 and 8800GTX after the July price cuts, then I found out that the 8800GTX won't fit in my case and that the G90 or whatever this fall should be significantly more powerful. Now I'm waiting for that. I think Crysis and Bioshock are going to bring the 8800GTX...

    The Planets align in December

    I agree with you. I am holding out on Penryn and Nvidia's next mobo and high end GPU although today's rumors point to the G92 as a midrange card. I'm still confident they will release a high end card this fall though. With Bioshock and Crysis out they would be foolish not to.

    Whats next from nVidia? G90?

    I just hope it is shorter then the 8800GTX. That won't fit in my case.

    K10 Technical Information

    Yeah, I really had high hopes for this stuff but it seems like Intel and Nvidia just know how to manufacture stuff more reliably and on time. I was holding out for the R600, but after that flop now I'll upgrade to a G92 and by that time Penryn should be out.

    Microsoft Habu getting disconected

    I have a Microsoft Habu mouse I got for Christmas. All of the sudden it is randomly losing it's connection to the computer and the OS detects that there is no mouse, and then that it is back again. I'm running windows XP and have switched the USB port the mouse is on. It has the latest drivers...

    NVIDIA confirms Next-Gen close to 1TFlop in 4Q07

    Best gaming CPU+mobo+GFX+Ram for $1800

    Best gaming CPU+mobo+GFX+Ram for $1800 This system will be for the best gaming possible at 1920x1200 on my 24"CRT. I have an OCZ 850w power supply and Thermaltake Tsunami case already. I hope to overclock the Q6600 to at least 3ghz. Right now I'm looking at BFG 8800GTX =$600...

    DFI LanParty UT ICFX3200

    Gary, thanks so much for the hard work testing and updating us so far. I for one have been following this mobo for several months and am very excited about it. One quick question if you have time. I plan to game at 1920x1200 on my monitor at home. I know you can't know for certain since...

    Retail Kit Pictures for the DFI RD600

    I hate price gouging, so I intend to wait until early next year when the prices go down. I'm waiting for the R600 anyway so by then the RD600 should be out and hopefully stable. Gary/others, I hope some people do some comparisons of the best memory to OC this board.

    Retail Kit Pictures for the DFI RD600

    Gary, Thanks for all the info so far. When you review this board can you let us know if a Tuniq Tower 120 will fit in a mid tower case? I have a Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA waiting for my new build and I was planning on getting this mobo. Also, will the PCI express x 16 slots only having x8...
