Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be released immediately for Windows.

Its shocking how different & screwed up the handling of the cars are. It takes SOOO long to get the fast cars right up to speed, the handling is completely different & fake. A mercedes #### box does better & faster cornering than the Ferrari enzo from 1st game.

Higher than 1920x1080?

Any game I play on my 30" looks fantastic. You really never get use to the insane detail. I just played some old HL2 at 2560x1600, so enjoyable. I could never enjoy it at a measly 1080p. Playing css at this res is almost like cheating. You can see so much detail & its easier to aim in the...

Official GTX 590 Review Thread (23 reviews at this time)

I noticed this card has 3 dual link DVI connections. Does that mean I can run 3 seperate monitors for desktop work? I game only on the primary monitor.

Whats casuing this lag in PhotoshopCS4?

yeah, ram was updated to faster more capacity, still lagged sometimes with old ram. must be hd. i would have thought hard drive wouldn't be needed? that it does it all in memory. Until you save your work, then it uses hard drive?

Lag with FPSers in windowed mode?

Do FPS games naturally run laggy/ jerky & stutter when playing in windowed mode even with high fps?

The slit experiement with a cheap laser pointer?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has used one of those cheap laser pointers to see the effect of light spreading out on a screen as you close the narrow slit very narrow making the light spread more & more? Do cheap lasers do it? Too bad they banned them in my country, wanted to see this effect.

AMD Radeon 6990 Benchmarked - Inpai

Is that with High AA like 8-16? Looking if ill have enough room in my case for a 6990? I dont think my small RAM will get in the way? I can move the 2HDD's down out of the way. And if its too wide a card, I can just cut some of the HDD bay out of the way. How wide is this monster?
