    Able to plug my Wii into The 22 inch Acer Monitor?

    I agree with the above poster. I used a vdigi component to VGA transcoder to hook the wii up to my lcd monitor, until I bought an HDTV about a week ago. As for audio, I got myself an RCA (white / red connector) to 3.5mm pc speakers adapter. Thats really the only way you can do it. P.S...

    Java-------> C++

    I took a course at my university dealing with Java. I learned all about object oriented design and a ton of new programming techniques, which would be hard to replicate in simple C. However over the Summer I decided to make the move to C++ to make some DirectX programs, because of speed. I found...

    DirectX9 C++ Questions

    Thanks for the responses everybody. I have resolved to using SunnyD and Eagle's method of incrementing the memory pointer to load the vertexes. I have another question however regarding my initial question three. Basically everytime through the render frame function I call a loop to render all...

    DirectX9 C++ Questions

    A vertex buffer is just a directx structure defined by LPDIRECT3DVERTEXBUFFER9. Anyways instead of say allocating vertexes in system memory, it is a place to allocate vertexes in graphics card memory so that they can be drawn directly without going through system memory. Im not exactly sure if...

    DirectX9 C++ Questions

    Hello everybody. Hopefully somebody out there can help me with this problem I am having. I have searched extensively online for an answer but nobody seems to come quite close. I am trying to design a simple 2d physics engine that can handle anywhere from 500 to 1000 simple circles on...

    Collision Detection in Frames

    Ok so... after some experimenting and some work with threads I think I may have come up with a solution that I'm comfortable with based on the previous posts. Basically, I use a thread and have that thread sleep an amount of time based on my fps value. Secondly on each frame we do a collision...

    Collision Detection in Frames

    Ah yes, SAT. That has come up many times in my reading, and that particular article. This information is good, and eventually I will implement the SAT to detect collisions, however I just needed to get it straight how collision responses worked in reference to animation. Basically the method I...

    Collision Detection in Frames

    Thanks for the responses. See, the problem I am running into is that im using a timer to adjust the frame rate. It is java so I am creating the timer then using the actionPerformed function to call a repaint and to also update the screen position for each frame. If I use pixels per...

    Collision Detection in Frames

    Hello everybody! I'm not new to the forums, I look at them often, however I post very little. I have a question on simple collision detection between two rectangles. I currently do not care about how one can test for a collision, I simply care about the redrawing aspect of two objects projected...

    Hello. I don't post here often at all but I have been looking at these forums regularly for the past few years. I need some basic information pertaining to connecting a WII gaming console to my PC LCD monitor (or a CRT) and need a few definitions cleared up. If this has been asked before, please...

    I finally upgraded my video card, but...

    Turn the settings down? :P Its just that. BF2 NEEDS 2 gigs of ram for high settings. I remember playing on those settings with one gig, like you are with a high end video card. Lagged hard with all the texture loading. I bought 2 gigs of ram and the problem went 100% away. The lag in the game...

    EVGA 7900GT CO Superlock

    Art - You're one of the lucky ones then. Many MANY people are having trouble with the first batch of cards, like I am. I just hope EVGA sends me a card from the second batch with good ram that can handle that overclock. PS. I tried underclocking my ram.... and well... lets just say my card...

    Get your PhysX card now...

    I believe that they would allow the body lying dead on the ground to be flopped around in bf2, rather than you just running over it and exactly nothing happening. Plus you cant keep those bodies there forever, because they do add up, they have to disappear over a period of time, or youre just...

    Would I notice much of a difference/

    I am stepping up from a 7800GT to a 7900GT CO Superclock for free. I bought the 7800 for 360$ because of the free mobo, and my credit is 360$, so I got it for free. :P Anyways, I was able to talk to a tech and I sent in as much stuff as I could and he assured me that I wouldnt be charged the...

    When will we see a 1Ghz GPU? And who will do it first?

    Im not sure if you all have forgotten, but an Nvidia official said that the G80 was designed for speeds of 1ghz stock. So I belive it will be done this year by Nvidia. http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:4e...er-approach.html+nvidia+g80+1ghz&hl=en Heres is one site, it is not the only one that...

    What kind of performance can I expect in BF2?

    I ran BF2 on a 3.2 ghz pentium 4 with an X800XT, wh ich is lower than the card you have. I played on 1600 by 1200 reso with 2xaa and "high af" , ingame setting that is. I had everything turned on max besides the aa, and I was playing fine. However I played it with 1 gig of ram, and I tried to...

    Does the X1800 have better filtering than the X800?

    I was running 1024 by 768 reso with 4xaa and all high settings on my x800xt if that makes it feel any better. I was still getting a bit of lag in some places. CoD 2 is not optimized well and is a big performance hog. However I belive there was a patch that Anand announced for dual core systems...

    great info for comparing between two video cards companies

    Woot 42 fps with 1280 by 1024, 4xaa 8xaf, with a 7800GTX, SLI gets 35 fps, woot, now I know that SLI system is a waste on high settings :P

    System specs for running Unreal Tournament 2007 at max everything?

    Just to clear up stuff. The people were playing UT 2K7 in the movies on some sites where it showed trailers. They were using dual core systems and either a single 7800GTX or dual, 256mb version and they were playing on super high settings. I suspect a new g80 or r600/r580 core could do the trick...

    Whats the difference?

    Actually guy if you look up the evga motherboard it is 125 dollars, and they only charge you around 75 if you buy it bundled which is 50 less, good deal IMO if I was going to get that mobo. I was going to but it doesnt support athlon 64 x2 nativeley. Marketing is crap sometimes oh look "we will...

    Choose my new video card

    Well the 7800GT has double the pipelines of a 6800GS and outperforms a 6800 ultra by a good margin. The 6800GS runs barely under a 6800GT. It would still be good to get the 7800GT, IMO , I myself am getting one for an upgrade from an X800XT, which I am selling.

    Buying 7800 GT, good brand choice and is this PSU enough?

    Aspire has some nice PSU's for under 50 dollars. I saw 500 watt with like 36 amps 12v rail for 49, or less. As for the 7800GT, go with the evga one that is 299, factory overclocked to 445/1070. Better choice IMO

    3dmark05 and aquamark3 scores are they low?

    So why exactly are you taking so much offense to a little statement? Perhaps it's true?? Hmm, not sure, but if you have seen "300" of different peoples scores, then you know what 3d mark is acceptable. The only reason I can see is to show off. Nothing more.

    7800GT SLI - Best Bang for your Buck?

    When I buy my new rig I am going with the dual 7800gt's with evga since i can get 2 7800gt's with an sli motherboard for 680$ which is extremely good IMO, but since you already have a sli mobo, I dont know. I agree with most people, the dual 7800gt is faster and costs less.

    Is the 7800GTX 512 really worth it (for my rig)

    Evga even has their program still running. You can get a 7800gt for 359 at newegg, the one that has 445mhz core and 1070 mem, that comes with a free sli motherboard. (Well not free, you are essentially paying 50 dollars for it.) Then you can buy another 7800gt for 300 dollars now with 20 dollar...

    Is the 7800GTX 512 really worth it (for my rig)

    512mb one is not worth it for the money. I mean 750 dollars for like maybe MAYBE up to 10 or so fps more than an x1800xt. For 1280 reso I suggest getting a 256mb GTX for the money. If you want futureproof though, go with the 750 dollars, although it is a huge loss in money for not much more fps...

    Best fans / PSU for dim4600

    Hey, make sure before you buy your PSU, to check which side the power connector, which connects to the c cable for power, is on. I know on my Dimension 8300, dell doesnt use standard PSU's that you can buy from newegg, to stop the tampering, and in result, the power for the c cable connector was...

    Case fans for dim4600

    That product may or even will help airflow and heat, but I tell you right now, that thing wont do no 20 degrees celsius lower than what your case is. Marketing crap, just like ATI.

    Case fans for dim4600

    I assume your modding the case becuase, in my experiences, there is no way in hell you can add another single fan to a dell case, besides MAYBE the new XPS's. my former 9800xt idles at around 70 C and load 85-90C in the crappy dell case. Yes it was extremely hot, but it still worked for a year...

    Civilization IV needs to play better!

    If youre going to spend 130, I suggest you get a 6600gt. They will smack the pants off of a 9550 in my opinion. MSI and XFX have these cards at newegg for around 155/145 for AGP. I would say go with the 6600gt. 8 pixel pipelines vs 4 with the radeon and 500mhz with the GT vs 250mhz with the...

    Radeon 9800 XT Artifacting

    As far as artifacing goes, that is odd. You shouldnt worry too much about the cooling aspect though. If your card goes beyond the threshhold of about 87 or 88 degrees C i would say get a better cooler. My old 9800xt was in the ballpark of your temperatures, sorry to say. I used to see 90C in my...

    Big difference...

    The x800gt is an 8 pipelined card. The 7800gt is a 20 pipelined card with a somewhat new architecture over the nvidia 6 series. The difference is phenominal in my opinion. Think of going from a 9800xt or pro to an x850xtpe or better. difference is pretty big.

    Need best AGP card for running Quake 4

    Compare it to this. I have a radeon x800xt and play quake 4 at 1600 by 1200 2xaa all settings high, not ultra. Graphics are amazing. I get 10-40 fps. Yes, 10 fps sometimes, but thats mostly in like 1-3 minute sections in the singleplayer. Multiplayer is fine with fps. I would recommend a 6800gt...
