8800GT (G92) vs. HD38xx (RV670)

I'd get my first ATI card in 10 years if they finally put in aspect-ratio scaling. This wasn't an issue for me until a year ago when I finally jumped on the LCD train, the first LCD attached to my gaming machines of course being a widescreen. Nvidia has had hiccups but aspect-ratio scaling has...

Bioshock (PC) for $34.90 + S/H

So you bought a Starforce-protected game (Brothers in Arms), but you refuse to buy Bioshock even when they remove SecuROM in a few months like they've promised they will? Interesting standards.

Dell Inspiron 6400 Notebook XP or Vista $599 HOT! Edit: 2Gig RAM DEAL. $649

Son of a...well, seems the deal is dead for now :( It was still active for the last 4 hours of this morning while debating whether to order it. The second I get out the credit card, the discounts had disappeared. I had just argued myself into it after 2 weeks too. Serves me right for being...

What is scaling

This one doesn't get nearly enough love. ATI doesn't support it and Nvidia keeps breaking it. My next choice of videocard relies almost solely on who supports this better in the coming weeks, as my 7900GT is executing it perfectly and anything less would be a downgrade. At the moment it's...

Now that ATI/AMD Lost the war....

And both AnandTech and Tech Report show the 2900XT being considerably more power hungry than the 8800GTX under load. Both of those sites combined add up to ten times the credibility of Toms Hardware. There's a reason why Toms Hardware is considered The Inquirer of hardware review sites. The...

Now that ATI/AMD Lost the war....

I'm angry I waited, since we were given the impression that ATI would have something to rival and beat the GTX. Now we have the same GTX price and no indication that there will even be a drop. Flat price for 4+ months on the GTX, unbroken. GTS speeds are too slow for me to justify the upgrade...

News on the AMD R600 refresh here

Believable, and somewhat heartening that the XTXTXTXTTX was being shaken up with a simple Y and a clever way of saying it. Then the second paragraph and THRUST VECTORING had to ruin my hopes for something new in the naming scheme :(

Nvidia driver scaling options, which one?

Driver scaling is the best option, although not all drivers allow you to use the ideal aspect-ratio scaling, which enlarges most the image to the edges of your screen without stretching it completely to fit every edge. In that case sometimes your only choice is to use the monitor's scaling, or...

Should I buy a 8800 GTX now or wait until ati relases dx10 cards?

I've been asking myself this topic's question for a couple weeks now. I'm the latter case in your argument, in that I'm looking for the 8800GTX to be a long-term (2+ year) solution. At the moment it's still a more expensive part when looking at price/performance compared to the GTS, and the...

p5b deuxe wifi-ap edition- where 's the wifi???

There's a gold mini-jack below the USB and LAN ports, that's what you plug the antenna into. Page 2-24 of the manual, unless they've revised it since I bought it. Edit: And if that's what you're missing from the picture, and yet you have a wireless antenna in the motherboard box, then you...

P5B Deluxe and AHCI SATA?

Quite possibly the most helpful bit of knowledge regarding the P5B Deluxe, thank you. I've been running in IDE mode for 2.5 months, it's nice to finally have it running in AHCI. It just feels...right.

Dell 2007WFP

Well that's the strange thing, there's backlight bleed on the top of the monitor, and it's the normal white, although it's so minor you need to stand 4 feet back to see it. And if you stand at that distance, the orange bleed in the bottom corners is the normal white. It's bizarre, and after 3...

Dell 2007WFP

So what did you end up doing? I bought one of these monitors last weekend, ended up with the IPS version fortunately, but unfortunately have a similar problem to you. Although my panel seems to definitely be offbalance, since on a black or darkened screen, on the right bottom of the screen...

New Gaming PC (Conroe)

Now that is a hell of a thread find. Thanks, will help greatly in my next build (also Conroe). After being in the AMD camp for 6 years, Intel motherboards are like a foreign species.
