Going to look at a 99 blazer for my son

ill agree with some of the above buick/3.8 comments. pretty much any w-body from 97-03 would be a good option with the 3800 motor. that includes the buick regal, pontiac grand prix, chevy impala and if you want a 2dr, the chevy monte carlo. tons of those w-bodies were built so most parts are...

BF4 - Requires Additional Expansion Pack error

i know you've said you tried the regedit, but verify you put the entries in the right spot. they go in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Battlefield 4. also if you copied and pasted the lines into a .reg file from the interwebz, make sure you add a couple lines for xpack3 and...

you're probably running x8/x8. download gpu-z and it should tell you what each card is running at.

RhinoRamps

word. worth every penny. i tried rhino ramps and the only car i had that was high enough to clear them couldnt get up the ramps without the ramp scooting across the floor. immediately went back to the store. have used the race ramps on 5 different cars now. makes oil changes a breeze.

im a n00b at towing. need a hitch and some info

Just upgraded my truck over the weekend from an old 01 s10 to an 11 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4. in addition to the obvious payload increase (s10 was an xtreme, low payload capacity) i needed something that can tow a 3800# car on a flatbed trailer once or twice a year. i know the ram can certainly do it...

Nvidia Shield Tablet

as i mentioned in my review above (yeah, the long one) i was disappointed in the wifi performance. i ended up with a second shield tab and im hesitant to open it until i know if this is software fixable or a hardware design failure. in case you're wondering, i got a second delivered today...

Nvidia Shield Tablet

I picked ones of these up today from gamestop of all places. My amazon order from the other day had yet to ship. anyways, as a person who owns way too many tablets (note 8.0, tab pro 8.4, note 10.1 2014, surface pro 3) here's my initial thoughts... TL;DR its awesome. just a few cons. no...

high is smooth (98% of the time i'd guess, based on my 10min of playing yesterday). ultra is still a stuttering mess. SLI with either high or ultra is horrid. running high with sli disabled and its playable on my 780ti

Is there a big difference between a galaxy note 2 and 3?

been a long while since i used a note 2 but i know i like my 3 much better. off the top of my head, the capacitive buttons work with the spen, the screen is larger with less bezel around the edges (device is not larger than the 2 even tho the screen is larger) . I also prefer the more squared...

Yeah, i read that but the watchdogs twitter acct and ubi support forums both indicated this was the patch. so i guess either their definition of performance enhancements differs from the rest of known mankind or they were just providing lip service.

yeah, it doesnt really help much. the microstutter which ive never really noticed before with SLI is pretty apparent with it enabled and in fullscreen. i do find that borderless smooths that out over full screen. problem is, when i run it that way, when i launch into the game, the gamma or...

i loaded the mod up yesterday and not only does the game look better, but it does indeed run better too. i was able to bump back up to ultra and get "decent" performance. even a lot of the stuttering is fixed. i previously had stuttering while driving even with high textures. now the stutters...

why are my SLI 670's running at different speeds?

well, gpu-z says they are different versions. i know from reading the evga forums that bios updates were made to their 670's (i almost bough evga's). it appears zotac did the same but didnt make them available for consumer download. in the grand scheme of things, i suppose it doesnt really...

i assume the top card is the hotter of the two. thats the way it was with my 570s. i was just playing some bf3 and the cards were running in the 50's but the warmer one was still slower. maybe the bios difference has different boost settings? i dunno. stuff runs fine so maybe its nothing to...
