    Post your 3dmark scores

    Last benchmark I could do in 3DMark06: 18215 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2476322 However, I can no longer benchmark with 3DMark06, as everytime I get to the CPU part, I get two errors: nVidia: "To run this application, the resolution of the screen should not be less...

    Help settle an old dispute

    Thank you, BrownTown and everyone else. I actually think, I understand it now: In the particular example given in my first post, with say all-cobber wires, then the flow of current would be almost the same. The only random element would be the difference in current that actually flows at any...

    That's good news. Can anyone draw up two simple circuits, that'll demostrate both situations in real life?

    Isn't that contrary to the statement: "Assuming equal values on both paths, the field is uniform and thus the same amount of current flows." ??? Damn, so confused by this, sorry. Are all of you right, and talking about different things? How can air behave any different than wires made of...

    Geforce 9 Series Coming in February 2008

    Crysis is playable with VH settings (forced DX9 XP) @ 2560 * 1600 resolution, unless the performance is worse at later levels than the two first. Just completed them myself at those settings ... did it run smoothly? No. But Crysis isn't unique as a...

    OpenGL Fur Benchmark

    Again, there is no hope for GeForce in this benchmark, if AMD get Crossfire to work anywhere near SLI's efficiency. Until then SLI makes Nvidia a winner ... but an empty win that is. I especially like this is an OpenGL benchmark, where Nvidia usually dominates.

    8800 series owner, what are your Fan profiles?

    100% all the time. 2 * XFX 8800 Ultra XXX gets very hot even at stock. They weren't stabile until a week ago, when I cleaned them and tightened the HS.

    So theoretically, if matched capacitors are put in the circuit at point A and B, it would be possible to have the current flow across one point and not the other? Such a circuit sounds simple enough in theory, but how difficult would it be, to make it work in practice?

    WSXGA using 1680 X 1050

    I could push my old 1440 * 900 display to 1280 * 1024 and 1680 * 1050, but that only resulted in a distorted pictures that weren't scaled beyond the screen. Does the WSXGA+ resolution look better or worse, than the WSXGA resolution? If there is no difference, then something is really wrong about...

    How to tell model version of Dell Monitor? 2407WFP or -HC

    I am 100% certain, that I have a 3007WFP-HC A2 (Czech), but there aren't any infomation on back of the display, that explicitly state this is the HC version, and not the regular 3007WFP display. Did you get the sellers original email of bill from Dell? It should state if it a HC model of not...

    No transistor or SS devices of any kind in the circuit. I remember that rule too, and I agree with it. I am party B so to speak, but I am in error in my understanding of this or have simply misunderstood something: The counter argument to this is, that resistance is not a infinite value, and...

    Actually, I don't think you interpret the question wrong at all. The counter argument is, that if all parts of the wiring part is equal (same thickness, material, resistance), then the current would rather pass one of the points, rather than both. Since it would take half the amount of...

    OpenGL Fur Benchmark

    LOL, when CrossFire works anywhere near as well as SLI in this benchmark, Nvidia 8800 series should loose any and all advantages. HD 2900 XT rapes 8800 Ultra at stock speeds and same settings/config. 2560 * 1600 is bugged, no doubt about it. I would disregard any benchmark above native...

    Well, this is a subject I have discussed at length with a friend of mine. Dunno how to express this in any eloquent way, so here goes: Party A, claims there is a configuration possible (in terms of volts, amps, physical use of wires etc., that'll allow for a current to only pass A or B (at...

    Dell 3008WFP

    I love my 3007WFP-HC display, but it certainly could be better as product. At least the 3008WFP makes it better because of connections, but I really also want to see it with something like the Realta chip. Why always a compromise somewhere? Nvidia sorta fixed the scaling problem with 8800...

    It is a common error. The two Ultras alone take 1536 MB, and there are more being lost to other hardware (XP 32bit limitation). Here is a screenshot where most of my hardware is detected correctly: http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fur4tz8.jpg The benchmark only detects default...

    You could get away with that using the stock cooler, but get a better cooler anyways. I use the Tuniq Tower 120 and I am satisfied.

    Core2Duo / Core2Quad s775 CPU Roadmap! [UPDATED April 17th]

    With the stock cooler I could benchmark and play any game @ 3200mhz with my quad. Using my current TT120 I can do the same at 3466mhz. I have benchmarks @ 3506mhz though, but never ran it for long at that speed. Regardless, do anyone really need a C2D/C2Q @ more than 3000mhz? For benchmarks...

    Finally! My 8800 SLi Bench's

    This setup, no matter if it was using a 1000W, 850W, or 700W PSU wil still draw and use the same amount of power. For everyday use and gaming the CPU is underclocked to 2400mhz, and the second 8800 GTX is not used (SLI=off). I'll keep it at those settings until I play games, that don't run...

    Finally! My 8800 SLi Bench's

    It is true about the CPU limitation. I made a "lazy" OC with my QX6700 to 3466mhz (13*266), and my scores rose quite a bit: 3DMark01: ~59800 3DMark03: ~56500 3DMark05: ~21300 3DMark06: ~17200 AquaMark3: ~176500 Everything but the CPU is at stock clocks. RAM is also only PC6400 CL5.5.5...

    Already did that but doesn't make any difference about her feelings about computers. She likes to play Sims 2, but beyond that game her she is not interested. You're correct about how much she likes it.

    Inspiron 1405 - Dell mismatching memory and processors?

    1) You probably wont notice the difference at all. You could call them and ask about the issue. The 640M should have the option for 667mhz RAM, unless 640M changes options/specs from country to country. Probably a low stock issue.

    ASUS Striker Extreme question

    Hi, I have purchased all the components for my new system, except for a motherboard. I want to get the ASUS SE, but I am concerned about space. Is there room enough on this motherboard for two dual slot GPU and a X-Fi soundcard? If not, alternative suggestions are welcome.
