    Aftermarket Cooler for Radeon 6950 2gb?

    Cool, good to know. I do have a TT Pro hanging around, but was paranoid after I had a 4870 die due to bad adhesion on the heatsinks. I'm going to pick up some Enzotech heatsinks and try out the TT Pro once I pick up a 4950.

    Aftermarket Cooler for Radeon 6950 2gb?

    I seem to remember that for older xx50 cards, you could leave the base of the stock cooler attached to the card. You just removed the shroud, fan and GPU sink, but the metal base stayed on to cool the VRAM and voltage regulators. Does anyone know if this is possible with the 6950? I ask because...

    How do I move and point all my data to a 2nd HDD in laptop?

    All of the normally visible folders should have a Location tab (I don't know about AppData - I've been leaving it where it is because I've heard about people having problems when moving it. Prevents the drive separation from being as elegant a solution as it could be though.) But once you've...

    How do I move and point all my data to a 2nd HDD in laptop?

    If you want to use your second drive for your user data, you can copy/paste all of your C:/Users/<username>/ folders (My Documents, etc.) to the other drive. Then right click each of the above folders, click on the Location tab, and enter the new location of the folder. I recreated the folders...

    A question about transferring a W7 install and "System Reserved" partition

    Hi folks, So I've got an SSD on the way, and I'm going to transfer my W7 install to it. Since I just installed it a few weeks ago, I'd rather not do a reinstall. I've successfully done this via cloning the HD before, but this time I didn't know about the "System Reserved" thing, so W7...

    L4D $7.50 on steam, but do people still play?

    A friend asked this on Friday, so I checked the Steam stats. There was a peak of about 7,500 players that day, so I'd say yes.

    why can't STEAM remember your birthdate?

    It is a bit annoying since you're already logged in to a system that knows your birthdate, but since it's more of a legal thing, so they might not have a choice. At least Gamevideos (I think?) was smart enough to just put a single drop-down with "age", instead of a full date, realizing fully...

    No video on boot with new P5Q deluxe

    Hey all, So I picked up one of these boards to go with a new Q9550, Corsair DDR-1066, and HD4870. I just got around to installing it all today, but on booting, no video, just black screen. The HD activity suggests it's booting up, but can't see anything. I saw that this might be due to...

    EVGA 8800GTS 640mb - Keep it or move on to something new??

    I went from my 8800GTS 640 to an 8800GT this spring. Only about a 20% boost in performance, but I was able to sell the GTS for $25 more than I paid for the GT due to getting the latter on sale. ;P I'd say even a 4850 would be a decent upgrade from an older GTS, although 4870 or GTX 260 would...

    Valve finally did it

    I have to say that I don't really understand why people would bother to go to an achievement server when the Pyro achievements are so easy to get in regular play. I got the Axtinguisher in only three days of regular Pyro play, and that's on my favorite servers which restrict the class to three...

    TF2 Update

    You can also click the Achievements option in the game menu. It doesn't matter which ones you get from the Medic pack as far as the unlockables go, just how many you've gotten - 1/3,2/3,all.

    TF2 Update

    There's new gear for the Medic that you can choose instead of the default weapons. You need to get the new achievements to unlock them (1/3 of the achievements for the first weapon, 2/3 for the second, all of them for the final). edit: The new stuff is: 1. The Blutsauger - replaces the...

    Fans with smaller 3pin connector?

    Hi all, I've got a NAS device which is pretty great except for the fact that the fan is on all the time. I'd like to replace the fan with a quieter one, or mod the current one to quieten it. I've got an extra Zalman fan mate around, so I was going to use that, but the OEM fan has a smaller...

    How DirectX is essential for gaming?

    They suffer somewhat because Apple's OGL implementation is not the fastest one around. Running a recent Id game, for example, on a Mac running both OS X and Windows will show a significant speed boost on the Windows side. 8 cores is also not terribly useful for gaming at the moment, but that...

    Warhammer 40k: Soulstorm - Is it any good?

    Playing through the campaign as Dark Eldar here, so far it's totally worth it as a fan of Dark Crusade. The campaign isn't massively different - solar system instead of planet, but each planet has 4-6 territories, so the number isn't that different. The territories that conferred bonuses are now...

    HD gaming for the pc, how condescending can they get?

    Lost some goodwill, but gained some customers? I find the box art of many games, not to mention video cards, embarrassing, but that's never stopped me from buying them. So do they really care about a probable minority of knowledgeable types complaining on forums, if the marketing antics gain...

    This thread is now about semantics

    Not to mention listing and selling them on eBay. Not trying to equate that with a day in the coal mines, but something was exchanged for the consoles, in this case time and effort. It boils down to time and effort in most cases anyway, since someone paying for one the regular way most likely...

    Painkiller worth getting?

    Painkiller was fun. It's pretty oldschool in a Quake/Doom kind of way - i.e. no clips, just 200 bullets in your gun. The level design is pretty good, and the physics and crazy guns make everything enjoyable. The challenges for unlocking tarot cards (powerups) tend to be fun rather than...

    Small Blue dots on dark images? Vista, x1900xt, vx2025wm

    An update on this issue for anyone who cares: I got sick of this happening - I had been inclined to ignore it previously since it usually 'peaked' after a few minutes and then subsided. After a while though, it was getting to be pretty constant. This was after an upgrade from a 7800 GT to an...

    HL2 EP2 - How to defeat the guardian?

    I don't even take a shot at either of them until I've used up all the explosive barrels in the area. Use sprint to run out and grab them, you can dodge their charges as you do so. Then I finish them off with the shotgun or smg grenades.

    Starcraft 2

    The people who left were part of the team that worked on Diablo. The team that is doing SC2 is mostly the people who did Warcraft3, so if you want to preach premature doom and gloom about how terrible SC2 is going to be, you should really be judging it to WC3 instead. ;)

    I played it about a year ago (so I can't compare to the Steam version), and didn't find any show-stopping bugs. It was somewhat clear that the game wasn't as polished as it could have been, but there was nothing to stop me playing through and enjoying the whole thing. I doubt that they'll let...

    Do I NEED a new GPU?

    You should be fine - the 9800 is capable of doing that, and your 256Mb of VRAM being split into 128/128 still leaves plenty of headroom for the tasks you mention. Powering two monitors is not a huge task - it's been done for ages on computers a lot less capable than yours. If you're running WoW...

    Fallout 3 will stink like Deus Ex 2.

    This is exactly what Deus Ex did - worked really well. You could use a sniper rifle if you were untrained, but it was hard to line up the shot, and the huge recoil would mean extra time to line up the next one. Not to mention the fact that the damage changed as you trained in a weapon type. I...
