My 9800GTX does choke on very high with 4 x AA. I can play at very high but with no AA. 2 AA is playable but not fluid enough for me.
I am quite disappointed to hear that the GTX 260 216 would choke too. I was thinking that the 260 was good for 1680 x 1050 and below but nothing above that...
I have been wondering this for a while. Right now i have a E8400 , 4 gigs of RAM , a 9800 GTX (not the + version) and i game at 1680 x 1050 on a 20 inches monitor.
The 9800 GTX is OK and i can pretty much play anything with high details and some AA/AF but i can get the GTX 260 216 for 180 $...
Ok sa basically i can't seem to figure out how to share files from their original location on my network ni matter what i do. Mt main PC has Vista 64 and my laptop has Vista 32. I can share files between both machines but they have to be in one of the "Public" folder or otherwise it won't work...
So , what you're saying Jack is that i should buy an HGA for my client and not my router ? Interesting because i thought it would be the opposite. Just show you how much i know about wireless networks :P.
Always was a wired man until not long ago .
Ok so i have a little problem with the strength of my wireless signal and i would like to know which of these 2 solutions you guys think is the best for my situation before i invest $$$ in either one of those.
Basically my main desktop is located upstairs with a WRTG54S router plugged in it...
lol , i was just trying to make a point and that was just an exemple.
I don't actually think that the GTX 280 will make your monthly bill go up by 50 $ :P
People are complaining (and rightfully so) because the GTX 280 is not a wise investment at 649 $ considering the performence , especially with the 4870 (who is rumored to be sold at half of the cost) around the corner.
Sure , some people will try to tell you otherwise but it's the truth. But...
I disagree on the first part
You pay for the card once while you pay your for electricity monthly so it's not really comparable , especially your bill goes up by 50 $ or more.
I see no point in going from a 8800Ultra to a GTX 260 based on the benchs i have seen so far. If you really want to upgrade you should get a 280 but even then i don't think it's worth it at that price tag unless :
1) You game at 1900 x 1200 or 2500 x 1600 and want to use AA
2) You plan to...
Those are actually NCIX prices ;).
And yeah i know that it was 89$ last week but that was a limited offer that ended yesterday i think. It's now 97 $ after a 15 $ instant rebate. Not that i really care about paying 8$ more anyway.
From the sound of your post the WD 640 really does seem like...
Title is self explanatory
Does the 16mb cache vs 32mb cache really improve the performence of an hard drive or is it just a marketing gimmick ? I currently have a 250gig 16mb cache Seagate Hard drive and i plan to upgrade to a 500 gig and i plan to go with Western Digital since i found the...
I went for the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L for 92$ CAN. It's cheap , got good reviews/recommendations , has some OC potential and i don't need all the extra of the EP35-DS3R so it was the logical choice for me. This is going to be my first Gigabyte board (always went with Asus in the past and never...
Title is self explanatory. I would read reviews and all but i work 50 hours a week and don't have much time for it so ill' just trust the wisdom of my fellow anandtechites :P
Note that i plan to use it with a E8400
ASUS P5K ATX LGA775 P35 DDR2 2PCI-E16 3PCI 1PCI-E1 SATA2 Sound GBLAN 1394...
Well , the fan still work today but it slowdown sometimes and it make a noise , almost as if the fan is farting or something.
I will go buy a new one this afternoon as i'm almost certian that the faqn alone is the problem now.
To cozumel : No i haven't done that because i have no other fan at my disposition right now.
And there is a new plot twist to the story : The fan just started working again tonight lol !!!!
Now i'm even more confused as to what the problem is.It may be the PSU but i experience no other...
The mobo plug is OK because if i try the CPU fan in the PSU fan plug then it works (3 pins)
As for the PSU , well i never had any problem with it and it was enough to power my system.I only have 1 HDD and 1 DVD burner aside from my video and sound cards so i don't think that there is too much...
Done that.
I clean my PC every month so dust accumulation ain't the problem otherwise i would have known it ;).I will go buy a new fan tomorrow and see if hopefully it's only the fan that is borked.If not then it's either my PS or my mobo.The PS wouldn't be a problem since i would this ...
Hi all
Ok so the rear fan (120mm i think)on my PC stopped working.All my connections are correct and my video card fan , CPU fan and PS fan are all working.The thing is , when i unplugged and replugged everything to see if it was a loose connection or something , the CPU fan didn't start...
Hi all
Ok so i bought a PS3 last week and now i'm looking to buy either and HDTV or an LCD monitor to go with it but i'm confused about a few things.So basically i am torn between these 4 products :
Samsung 23" Widescreen LCD HDTV (LNT2353H) 1366 x 768 - 480i/480p/720p/1080i...
Ok so i have a WRT54GS V 2.0 and today i decided to try the HyperWRT firmware since i heard good things about it.First you need to know that my access point is located upstairs in my house and my other PC downstairs and i always had some weak signal issues since it has to go through a bunch of...
Ok so i want to try one of those free MMORPG but i really have no idea which one would best match my preferences.I have looked at a few "free MMORPG" lists (including the one here) but i just can't try them all .And no Guild Wars is not an option since i already have it and the non persistant...
Yup it's true :

I'm probably going to get one of those :D
*runs and hide from the horde of rich kids who wants to lynch me because i won't upgrade to PCI-E instead aka a complete system overhaul*

You need to look at HOR + games if you want the extra viewing area (true widescreen).Some games you get it natively (IE : Half Life 2) while for some others you need to edit a file/hack to get it (IE : Doom 3)...
It's still a problem because it's not true widescreen.The game is VERT - (crop the top and bottom) instead of HOR + (extra view to the sides without cropping) and the HUD is stretched with the command line/shortcut trick.There is also no possible way to adjust the FOV via the ini.The bottom line...
Ok so i have been running this card for 2 year now and i just noticed that my idle temps went up by about 10C. It was running at 52-54 idle at first but it's now running at 60-62 idle since last week.I first thought that it was dust blocking the fan from doing it's job properly but that wasn't...
This has nothing to do with the right to assemble but everything to do with the organization itself.I don't see the HA as a gang of bikers who assemble just to ride and party together.I see them as an organized criminal enterprise ready to do anything to protect their drug , extortion and sex...
I don't know for sure if these eight murders are related to the Bikers gang but it does look like it to me.
The MO is very similar to the many murders commited during the Rock Machine vs Hells Angels war of the 90's in Quebec.There was some rumors in the papers here in Montreal that the war...
Not much as changed since the fall of the Taliban it seems :

[/sarcasm]How can this happen in a liberated American new democracy ? The neocons promised us freedom and liberty [/sarcasm]
Thanks for the info
I am a PVP guy so i will give the game a try i guess.Probably won't last long though as there is only 4 days left before Oblivion :).
