    How to get audio from a pc to Bose 5.1

    Had similar experiences, so I thought I would chime in. First, I honestly would suggest you reconsider HDMI. It sounds like you're planning to watch movies (you have a 5.1 system), so it may be your best option, but my experiences with HDMI audio have been almost universally terrible. Displays...

    Has the GTX 680s GPGPU capability been thoroughly explored?

    I don't think it's quite fair to just make the blanket assessment that they suck at GPGPU- their floating point performance is severely neutered, but int performance should be unaffected and they do show promise in some benchmarks. I think it will be a very usage-dependent scenario. One thing is...

    560 Ti 448 vs 570 vs 7850

    I don't know if you saw this but you can pick up a 570 for $240: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2235766 At that price I think it's the easy choice. Fastest in terms of performance, and price-wise on par with the cheapest of the three cards you've picked. In terms of...

    Any video cards that can output 4K

    AMD HD 7970: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7970/Pages/radeon-7970.aspx#3 Yes, it will output 4K. Gaming at that resolution seems doubtful though. Didn't check the lower tier cards, but a quick visit to amd.com will have your answer. nVidia cards don't seem to...

    First: GTX 680 review !!!

    Faster and cooler than 7970? What has nvidia done? I'll hold off on final assessments until I see a review I can actually read but so far things are looking very, very good for the green team. Edit: I'm on my phone but working on rehosting graphs... I'll post them here as they upload...

    ATI vs. Nvidia & Why

    I'll buy whatever can get me the best performance for however much money I'm looking to spend. That being said, all things being equal (or close enough) I'll take nVidia since I've had _a lot_ less trouble with their binary linux driver than AMD. I know AMD open sourced their driver, and I'd...

    Ivy Bridge graphics - Possibly competitive against low-end discrete solutions?

    120Hz Displays

    I'm currently using a Asus VG236H 120 hz monitor as my main monitor and a 60 hz Asus VH242 as my secondary (a bit of a lopsided setup, I know). I use DVI/D to connect to the 120 Hz monitor (mandated by nVidia for 3D Vision) and HDMI through a receiver to get to the 60 hz. The experience on the...

    I have to be missing something. Upgraded from 4950 to 6950 Radeon and no improvement.

    I don't play WoW personally, but my roommate does. From what I hear down the grapevine, there are certain add-ons that severely hurt performance. Try turning all of your add-ons off and reenabling them one by one until you find one that is killing performance.

    learning red hat enterprise linux and fedora

    Fedora 10 is beautiful, especially if you're running R300-R500 era Radeons. Plymouth is amazing. OTOH, nvidia drivers are being uncooperative atm. I'll let you know if I have any luck. Do you have any questions about F10 I might be able to answer for you?

    64-bit Flash Player 10 for Linux

    Fedora 9 Released!

    Just a heads up, latest nVidia drivers with 3d acceleration enabled (no workarounds required) for Fedora 9's beta X server have been released. They're live on livna as of a few days ago.

    Fedora 9 Released!

    Intel graphics has the only 3d-enabled beta xorg driver IIRC, so if you install that you *should* be able to play any game you were able to play in F8.

    Mine's at about 55 % completion on the torrent. Just a heads up for any prospective users, no 3d acceleration on nvidia cards due to the experimental xorg release included in F9. You can downgrade to F8's version of Xorg or follow the instructions Here to install a beta nVidia driver with...

    Bought Supreme Commander - such terrible game

    Of course you're right- I should have made myself clearer, I meant that in a head to head engagement where the two units are exchanging hits. Realistically, the Aurora has numerous tactical advantages that will give it an edge.

    Bought Supreme Commander - such terrible game

    I actually rather enjoy SupCom. I find it a pretty fun RTS. Unlike some of the comments I see (namely the OP's), I actually enjoy the larger scale. SC favors macro over micro, and that's clear from the beginning with the strategic zoom feature. You can pull off some cool stunts with micro...

    Page file ??

    I believe you can always turn off page file, but why would you? Sure, it's not helping performance any with 2GB of RAM, but it acts as a safety net if you happen to be doing something (say playing a game) that caches more than 2GB of files (textures and such can get pretty big), and if you...

    So if there is no H/W yet to run Crysis Ultra High, How was it created?

    Two fast consumer cards in SLI will smoke a workstation card in gaming. Heck, even one equivalent gaming card will do it. Ultra high-precision and extreme levels of filtering and AA aren't a requirement for most games. If you can live without (ie if you don't 3d render), then get the consumer...

    So if there is no H/W yet to run Crysis Ultra High, How was it created?

    They don't necessarily need to be able to play it to develop it. They could have thrown in higher resolution textures or more polygons, and they wouldn't need a playable framerate to make sure it works. They just extend existing technology further, and then rely on advancements to bring those...

    HardOCP says anandtech has bad methods

    I agree wholeheartedly with Appopin. Regardless of the canned vs real-world benchmarking arguement, if Kyle is going to slam a competitor's benchmarking style, he should at least have the courage to post his own saves and allow us to reproduce. AT has no burden to answer this call. The burden of...

    Ati Back on top again

    McCartney, your points make little sense. It's true that companies can optimize for built in benchmarks, because they are predictable. But what you fail to realize is that in several cases, Anand created his own benchmarks. These aren't benchmarks shipped with the game. These are benchmarks...

    New TF2 Achievements/Gameplay Elements

    I'm all for it, as long as there's a server option to turn it off. If it throws off the gameplay, people will flood back to default servers, and the problem will fix itself. On the other hand, if it can't be disabled... I actually think this is a decent idea. People thought Ubercharge was...

    9600GT performing at 8800GTS levels???

    Still, the 9600 GT consistently performs at or beyond the 3850 and 8800GS cards, both performance class cards. That's decent performance, although nothing to get too excited about; new mid-range cards generally perform around the bottom of the previous generation's high end. Example: 8600GTS =...

    Civilization & Alpha Centauri -- do you play to the end?

    AC was amazing. I always played to the end, because the little interludes always captured my attention. All of a sudden, you were no longer just fighting your enemies- you were fighting an entire planet. The way the story develops is also pretty nice, especially the first time through. I...

    Exteel = Moderately fun!

    Its decent. It's core gameplay is much like Gunz, which I find a bit problematic but some may see as a benefit. Basically, you have a persistant character with persistant stats that you take to short battles (longest is about 15 mins IIRC) to earn credits, experience, and to improve your record...

    Hardest game you have ever played??

    8500GT vs. 7300GS in an FPS fight!

    I think by comprable cards, he meant a direct range-to-range comparison, ie. 7600 GT vs 8600 GTS, not midrange vs high-end.

    Possible BF3 info leaked!!!

    I thought in BF2, the factions were identical (other than maybe vehicles)? I haven't played BF2 (stopped at 1942), so I wouldn't know. Also, the factions in ET:QW are actually quite diverse- as diverse as they get without sacrificing balance, IMO. There are alot of little quirks; for example...

    Unreal Tournament 3

    Orange Box and COD4 have put me in a tight spot. If either of those games hadn't come out, I would have jumped on this instantly. I'm a longtime UT99 fan, and I hated UT 2k3/2k4. I'm glad they went back to the darker art style and feel of the originial UT. However, with COD4 and Orange Box, I...

    Anyone running a 8600GT or HD 2600XT?

    I've got a 8600M GT 512 DDR2, and it's pretty much perfect for my needs. Although, to be fair, one of my considerations was screen size (15.4" widescreen), and had I picked a desktop, the budget for my laptop could have easily landed me a 8800GT and a nice quad-core :P. I play my games mostly...

    8600 Go laptop graphics card

    It's a decent card. I can play any game maxed out at native (1280x800 on my NP2090) except for UT3, SupCom and Crysis (of the games i've tried). There is a significant difference between DDR2 and GDDR3; however, as Syntax Error pointed out, the choices for the GDDR3 version aren't exactly...

    Weird artifact in Crysis demo

    I actually had a similar problem, but it was more general. UT3 and COD4 wouldn't run at all, and Crysis had a weird white paintbrush-like effect over everything that was under the horizon, even though everything I had was upgraded. What fixed it for me was a complete driver-cleaner pro whipe and...
