new video card

So what?s the difference between Nvidia?s and ATI?s GPU architecture and why do seemingly comparable ATI cards have more stream processors than Nvidia ones? The answer lies in their different approach in implementation.

Is my video card good enough for Fallout 3?

You should really consider giving PC gaming a try. Im not saying to do this exactly unless you can spend the money, but if you build a good computer (maybe spend about 1400 for a clear difference in gameplay and graphics vs console) and you play a game that has been ported for PC and XboX or...

Trouble with PoE using a Linksys srw2024p switch

It is a PolyCom IP 501 SIP which does support PoE. It is Cat5 cable, which also supports PoE, and all 4 twisted pairs are connected using the scheme: White and orange, orange, white and green, blue, white and blue, green, white and brown, brown. I know in general my router has nothing to...

Trouble with PoE using a Linksys srw2024p switch

I hooked up a Linksys srw2024p to our network today, as it is able to supply Power over ethernet to networked devices. The switch is now hooked up, we are on the internet and LAN, but when I plug the ethernet cable into a phone, I get no power. I still only get power when using the special...

Basic question about card reader

I agree. Cardreaders are usually or always USB, if its not standard usb 2.0 interface then i would assume it would have to be the usb connection on the mobo.

Need help deciding on which card.

Yes, eventually games do get tougher on cards, that is given. However the engines that are used for games do not drastically change that often. If you do always get the newest First Person Shooter as soon as it comes out, then maybe you should get something better, but if you're like me...

Poor Performance

Yea man, it was definitely your ram situation.. Never throw just 1 gig into a system like that. Horrible bottleneck there. 3 gb will do much better. Also, if you have Vista (this goes for everyone) Right click My Computer, Click Properties, There you will find the Windows Experience Index...

Sapphire HD 4870 Problems Thread

Has anybody tryed using different drivers than the ones provided with the driver CD? If so, I would also suggest testing with Omega drivers, if anything just to see if you still get the same results. I doubt it has to do with which manufactorer because they basically just smack their logo and...

Need help deciding on which card.

Hello. For the record, a 4850 is a great card for the price. I have been able to play Crysis warhead on max settings @ 1280x1024 and some antialiasing and anisotropic filtering with very decent framerate. The max resolution a 4850 can handle is 2560 x 1600, so you are fine @ 1920x1200...

Need someone to break down info on stream processors

Ok so.. I think i figured it out. To anyone else who might be curious about this, here you go. (Please correct me if I am wrong) A stream processor only needs to perform specific operations (such as vertex operations, geometry operations, and pixel operations working with floating points)...
