    Calculating height/width of 16:9 and 16:10 displays from diagnal...

    The dimensions given for displays is for the entire thing and not the screen... I'd like to know the height and width of just the screens on those displays. The reason for this is that I'd like to know if a 32" 16:9 LCD HDTV would be higher than a 16:10 30" LCD monitor... I suppose I can...

    What do you think of EAX?

    I hate choosing between EAX and Dolby Headphone. There's not a single card that supports the latest EAX and has DH. =\

    What do you think of EAX?

    Considering so many sound cards don't support the latest EAX, including high-end ones like the Asus Xonar, I wonder how many here would only buy a sound card with full EAX support and how many don't care.

    "Lock frame rate to 30 fps" should be an available option in every PC game.

    It's more like enjoying a smooth ride in the back seat reading a book and then having to readjust every time the speed abruptly changes, going faster then slower and vice versa. :P And yeah vsync is an option, but it's not ideal.

    Pics for 3DMark 2k8

    OK so when will we see the real 3DMark 2008? In a couple of months? The end of the year? I want some new eye candy. :P

    I'm wondering about something, when people refer to 1:1 pixel mapping do they mean literally 1:1 or just keep the aspect ratio? A lot of times people are asking this for consoles. On something like a 1920x1200 monitor, I'm guessing 720p, which is the resolution used by most 360/PS3 games...

    "Lock frame rate to 30 fps" should be an available option in every PC game.

    Why don't some games have this option!? It's annoying for a game to be around 60fps at one part and 35 at another. If I can't have a constant ~60 then give me a constant 30 please.

    How can I get surround sound from my PC?

    Because I want to use Dolby Headphone. I'll try that CMSS feature but I doubt it'll be in the same league as the dolby one. From that quote it looks like it remixes stereo sound into surround, which is not what Dolby Headphone does. DH takes an already surround signal and decodes it for...

    How can I get surround sound from my PC?

    OK wait, my sound card only has an optical out. Everything else is the regular 3.5mm jacks and whatever. Now a lot of people have surround setups for their PCs, and play games, this sound card is a 7.1 'extremegamer' one... I'm assuming that it compresses up to 7.1 into that optical out and...

    How can I get surround sound from my PC?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16829156005 What if I buy that card? The SU-DH1 adapter needs a 5.1 signal through optical. Now that card would compress the signal to go through optical and reach the adapter intact, full 5.1 read to be converted to Dolby Headphone. Would it work...

    How can I get surround sound from my PC?

    OK, so what exactly do all those 5.1/7.1 cards and speaker sets all over newegg do? Just play surround for movies? Hell even my on-board sound oes 7.1 I think. So it doesn't actually do that for games? What's going on. I hate this stuff. :( You know what, I'm just going to forget about...

    How can I get surround sound from my PC?

    Both, but games are the priority. OK so there are Creative cards that have Dolby Digital and DTS hardware encoding as part of their specs, usually they're the most expensive ones. You'll telling me that all Creative cards however output Dolby Digital/DTS? So you can use a receiver connected...

    OK, let me just ask one question and things will be much clearer then: How do the Creative cards, the ones w/o Dolby Digital/DTS. output their surround sound? PCM? LPCM?

    How can I get surround sound from my PC?

    I have an X-Fi card, and a JVC SU-DH1 Dolby Headphone adapter for my headphones... Now, the adapter takes in 5.1 sound from an optical cable and converts it to Dolby Headphone. What I need is that 5.1 signal from my PC. This is my card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16829102006...

    Nvidia 169.21

    No Vista no sale. Or download. General question, do these drivers usually just fix issues/improve performance with particular games or do they also improve the general performance of the card?

    8800GT goes to 11 hours on ATI tool until error WITHOUT overclock...

    ^So would it be more stable to buy a card with reference clocks next time or is it OK to get the factory-overclocked ones? I'm not interested in overclocking really, not anymore, but if it's done by the factory and safe then really there's no harm in a bit of extra performance. I just did...

    8800GT goes to 11 hours on ATI tool until error WITHOUT overclock...

    I've had it with testing. I was planning to see how long ati tool + rthdribl would go until the former gives out an error. Then I thought I should do the same when I get a new card. And I should lower back my CPU overclock and test the world in conflict in-game benchmark, then do the same...

    30 minutes? o_O This is what I get for sticking to synthetic benchmarks/stress applications and not playing games. I wanted to get the overclocking over with before playing. Anyway, after doing some tests it turned out I didn't really get that much of a performance jump on my system so I'm...

    Well I don't know if 'new' was the right world, heh. I did build a PC two years ago and played a lot of Battlefield 2 but I barely had any idea what I was doing, I almost got a motherboard with a different socket than the CPU I wanted and bought an AGP video card for a PCI-E slot... among many...

    8800GT goes to 11 hours on ATI tool until error WITHOUT overclock...

    Uh, I don't know about the 8800GT 'fan bug' mentioned here... And I'm using a DuOrb on the card. Finally, no this isn't a joke thread. I'm new to PC gaming so I could be missing something here but from little I read overnight stress testing was recommended for determining the overclock...

    8800GT goes to 11 hours on ATI tool until error WITHOUT overclock...

    The card is factory overclcoked, but not by much. 625/900/1566. It shouldn't matter, as even the highest factory overclocked should work like regular ones. I had RTHDRIBL running at the same time as ATI tool, it reached 14.5 hours and was running for 3.5 w/o errors when I turned it off so...

    What is the actual performance increase in overclocked cards, specially factory overclock ones?

    Forgot about this thread, but just wanted to point out that the difference between the shader clock didn't result in the 60 or so frames in the benchmark - the benchmark itself just runs slower the first time and I sometimes restarted my PC or closed the benchmarking application then opened it...

    OK so what if my budget would go up to 1000? or even 1500? What kind of quality would I be getting? Is there something that completely outclasses the 20WMGX2? I was thinking of buying a Sharp 32" 1080p display, but honestly they're just too big.

    What is the actual performance increase in overclocked cards, specially factory overclock ones?

    Actual meaning in games. I've been messing around with my 8800GT and the results I'm getting are pretty weird. 2DMark06 of course goes up but Crysis doesn't - at all. Far Cry neither, except when I hit 1645 shader clock and WHOA! I get a 140 FPS score in the hardwareOC benchmark... this is...

    Sony Reader question - does the sony store work anywhere there's a net connection?

    I'm thinking about buying a Sony Reader before I'm off to the middle east for a while (no not Iraq, heh). I'm worried however if I won't be able to access the store and buy anything for the reader, I can't find a region list for it or any such thing. Kindle's wireless doesn't work outside the US...

    So, anybody had their 8800GTs with Memory set to >900 die recently?

    A lot of people bought cards overclocked to more than 900, and some overclocked themselves. So, are there reports of cards just dying out of nowhere? I remember JonnyGuru saying he had inside info on this, but then again manufacturers like EVGA didn't seem to mind selling cards with...

    Q6600 G0 @ 3GHz, 72c load after a night of video encoding.

    I think I have the same motherboard as yours, mine is P35-DS4 Rev 2.0 btw. Get the latest BIOS too, if you don't have it. At 3.25GHz my Q6600 is mostly around 55. Cooling is a 1600 s-flex + Thermalright ultra extreme + shin-etsu X23 TIM. Definitely up the vcore yourself and don't let it the...

    Systen crashes after ~15 minutes of stress testing...

    Thanks for the explanation. I'm at 1.28125 volts right now, just one step above the 'normal' one and it's a stable at a 362 FSB and good temps. I'll see if I can get better results or maybe this isn't really stable overnight. Either way I'll settle for anywhere between this and 3.4GHz. About...

    Systen crashes after ~15 minutes of stress testing...

    OK this is weird, in my BIOS it says CPU normal voltage is 1.275 but when I set it to normal on some overclocks Prime95 fails almost immediately, then I try actually selecting 1.275 from the list and it runs decently for a good while. So when I set the BIOS vcore to 'normal' it's not actually...

    Systen crashes after ~15 minutes of stress testing...

    So chipset voltages should be upped when vcore is reaching near max? Bascially only change the vcore until you really have to mess with the chipset? Right now I backed the overclock to 3.4 and vcore was stable for 3 hours at 1.35 volts, I just took it one step below to 1.343 I think and...

    Systen crashes after ~15 minutes of stress testing...

    OK last question, I swear! If I get an unstable overclock but I don't want to up my vcore because of the temps, can I up the (G)MCH or FSB instead? If their cooling can handle it and take some of the pressure off the CPU it'd be great. When do you guys stop upping the vcore and switch to...

    Systen crashes after ~15 minutes of stress testing...

    BTW, can I get better results by lowering the multiplier? Would higher FSB values then be more stable somehow? If 9x400 doesn't work can I try 8x450? Would the temps also be the same? Edit: never mind this is answered in the stickied guide, just checked it out again.

    First to answer the memory questions, yes I ran memtest overnight and there were no errors. Timings right now are 5-5-5-18 I think. It's rated at 800 for 4-4-4-12 so I should be fine. I'm guessing do as I don't even now where to access that option... In the BIOS I have the power saving...

    Anybody here with a Gigabyte motherboard with no access to PCI clock?

    All guides say I should lock the PCI to 33.33 but it's nowhere to be found in my BIOS. I'm using the latest, I think F8 and the motherboard is P35-DS4 Rev. 2.0 btw... Is this normal for gigabyte boards or should I be worried? Thanks for any help. :)
